English: Just in terms of some context to this, it might be useful for me to explain that we have a capital programme of £46 million, or we previously had that. That was extended by a further £30 million at the beginning of last year. So, there's a capital package of £76 million available over the years. In the budget before you, there is an annual allocation of £15 million per annum for three years, which is a total of £45 million. That is part of that broader package of £76 million. It includes the £30 million that you mentioned and also an additional element, which reflects the fact that some aspects of the plan under the £46 million had been postponed because of COVID. So, an element of that expenditure is pushed forward, if you like. So, that's how the figures tally. But in terms of the bids for the £30 million grant fund, I do think that you're right, your question is right, it does demonstrate that there is an increasing ambition among local authorities to expand provision and to use the capital source to do that. I thought it was very encouraging that £125 million-worth of bids was made, or in excess of £125 million-worth of bids was made; it would be great if we could reach more of those than the £30 million will allow us to. So, what happens now, as you know, is that local authorities are about to deliver their Welsh in education strategic plans for me as Minister to have oversight of, and these bids are assessed in that context. So, we'll look at the WESPs, we'll look at the bids and see what is practical, what is deliverable, and then we will move forward on that basis. So, by the end of February, I intend to announce which bids have been successful in terms of those that we've received. And, of course, I'd be happy to share that with you as a committee, and we will start to deliver in the next financial year. But I do think you're right, it shows that there has been some ambition. If you look at what we've understood in terms of the drafts that we've seen, from memory, some nine local authorities intend to extend primary provision or open new schools during the first five years of that 10-year programme. We have two authorities intending to expand secondary provision, which is encouraging, and some six authorities propose to provide for the first time or to extend their immersion provision, so we've maintained that provision for another year, as you know. And you'll also know that I've just published new guidance for the categorisation of schools in terms of language usage, and some six authorities - no, I think it's eight authorities - intend to increase provision by recategorising schools. So, every authority has a range in terms of its targets. Everyone, I think, is aiming at either the top of that range or mid range, and if that happens it'll be very positive indeed. But if they fall slightly short of that, then it will be adequate for us to reach our targets in the meantime. So, people have to be accountable, of course, but there is ambition in the process, and I think that's reflected, as you said, in the bids that we've received for that funding source.
Welsh: Efallai, jest o ran cyd-destun i hwn, y buasai'n ddefnyddiol i fi esbonio bod gennym ni raglen gyfalaf yn y maes hwn o £46 miliwn yn flaenorol, ac ymestynnwyd hwnnw gan, fel y dywedoch, £30 miliwn pellach ar ddechrau'r flwyddyn ddiwethaf. Felly, mae pecyn o gyfalaf, os hoffwch chi, o £76 miliwn ar y cyfan, dros y blynyddoedd. Yn y gyllideb sydd o'ch blaenau chi, mae dyraniad blynyddol o £15 miliwn y flwyddyn am dair blynedd, sydd yn £45 miliwn. Mae hynny yn rhan o'r pecyn ehangach yna o £76 miliwn. Mae'n cynnwys y £30 miliwn, ac mae hefyd yn cynnwys elfen ychwanegol i hynny, sydd yn ffactor o'r ffaith bod rhai elfennau o'r cynllun o dan y £46 miliwn wedi cael eu gohirio oherwydd COVID, felly mae elfen o'r gwariant hwnnw'n cael ei wthio ymlaen, os hoffwch chi. Felly, dyna sut mae'r ffigurau yn perthyn i'w gilydd. Ond o ran y bids am y gronfa o £30 miliwn, dwi'n credu eich bod yn iawn, mae'r cwestiwn rydych chi'n gofyn yn iawn, dwi'n credu ei fod yn dangos bod awydd gan awdurdodau lleol i gynyddu darpariaeth a defnyddio'r ffynhonnell gyfalaf i wneud hynny. Roeddwn i'n meddwl ei bod yn galonogol iawn fod gwerth £125 miliwn o gynigion wedi dod; buasai'n grêt pe baem ni'n gallu cyrraedd mwy o rheini nag y mae'r £30 miliwn yn ein caniatáu ni i'w wneud. Felly, beth sy'n digwydd nawr yw, fel rydych chi'n gwybod, mae'r awdurdodau lleol ar fin delifro'r cynlluniau strategol mewn addysg i fi fel Gweinidog i edrych arnyn nhw, ac mae'r ceisiadau yma'n cael eu hasesu yn y cyd-destun hwnnw. Felly, rydyn ni'n edrych ar y cynlluniau strategol, edrych ar y bids, a gweld beth sy'n ymarferol, beth sy'n deliverable, ac wedyn yn mynd ar sail hynny. Felly, rwy'n bwriadu, erbyn diwedd mis Chwefror, datgan pa gynigion sydd wedi bod yn llwyddiannus allan o'r rheini lle rydyn ni wedi cyrraedd y sgwrs. Byddaf i'n hapus i rannu hynny gyda chi fel pwyllgor. A byddwn ni'n dechrau ariannu'r rheini, wedyn, yn y flwyddyn ariannol nesaf. Ond rwy'n credu eich bod chi'n iawn, mae yn dangos bod uchelgais wedi bod. Os edrychwch chi ar yr hyn rydyn ni'n deall o ran y drafftiau rydyn ni wedi eu gweld, o gof, mae rhyw naw awdurdod yn bwriadu ymestyn darpariaeth gynradd neu agor ysgolion newydd yn ystod pum mlynedd gyntaf y cynllun degawd yna. Mae gyda chi ddau awdurdod sy'n bwriadu ehangu darpariaeth uwchradd yn benodol, sy'n galonogol. Mae rhyw chwe awdurdod yn bwriadu darparu am y tro cyntaf neu ymestyn eu darpariaeth drochi. Rydyn ni wedi cynnal y gyllideb honno am flwyddyn arall, fel rydych chi'n gwybod. Ac wedyn rydych chi hefyd yn gwybod fy mod i newydd ddatgan canllawiau newydd ar gyfer categoreiddio ysgolion o ran defnydd y Gymraeg. Ac mae rhyw chwe awdurdod, dwi'n credu - na, rhyw wyth awdurdod, dwi'n credu - yn bwriadu cynyddu eu darpariaeth trwy newid, ailgategoreiddio, eu hysgolion. Felly, mae gan bob awdurdod ystod o ran targed. Mae pob un, rwy'n credu, yn anelu at gyrraedd naill ai brig yr ystod neu ganol yr ystod. Os digwyddith hynny, buasai'n bositif iawn. Ond petasai nhw'n syrthio ychydig yn brin o hynny hefyd, mae hynny'n ddigonol inni gyrraedd ein targedau yn y cyfamser. Felly, mae'n rhaid i bobl fod yn atebol am y rheini, ond mae uchelgais yn y broses, a dwi'n credu bod hynny'n cael ei adlewyrchu, fel rydych chi'n dweud, yn y bids rydyn ni wedi eu cael ar gyfer y ffynhonnell honno.
