English: I'm sure it wasn't. Not this time, no. [ Laughter. ] Minister, I asked, last week, for a statement on civil contingencies. Since last week's business statement, of course, we've seen further chaos across Wales, and constituents have been telling me that people who work in the emergency services, people who work in the caring services, are unable to reach their places of work because of the problems in getting fuel. This has been an utter disaster and has been caused by - . We know there have been policy failures from the United Kingdom Government, but the failure to recognise, and to plan for Brexit, is, of course, at the heart of this. The Welsh Government's civil contingencies planning did plan for a number of different eventualities, including these matters, as part of 'no deal' Brexit planning. I would like to have a statement, if possible, about how the Welsh Government can help people across the country who are being faced by the chaos that they are facing at the moment. I'd also like to ask for a statement on business support post furlough ending, and how we can support people in work, as we see support from the United Kingdom Government ending at the moment. There are a number of businesses that have approached me, in Blaenau Gwent, who are very concerned about their ability to maintain employment, and it is important that we are able to support and sustain businesses, as the United Kingdom Government walks away from their responsibilities and those businesses.
Welsh: Rwy'n siŵr nad oedd. Nid y tro hwn, na. [ Chwerthin. ] Gweinidog, gofynnais i yr wythnos diwethaf, am ddatganiad ar argyfyngau sifil posibl. Ers datganiad busnes yr wythnos diwethaf, wrth gwrs, rydym ni wedi gweld rhagor o anhrefn ledled Cymru, ac mae etholwyr wedi bod yn dweud wrthyf i nad yw pobl sy'n gweithio yn y gwasanaethau brys, pobl sy'n gweithio yn y gwasanaethau gofalu, yn gallu cyrraedd eu mannau gwaith oherwydd y problemau o ran cael tanwydd. Mae hyn wedi bod yn drychineb llwyr ac mae wedi'i achosi gan - . Rydym ni'n gwybod bod methiannau polisi wedi bod gan Lywodraeth y Deyrnas Unedig, ond mae'r methiant i gydnabod, a chynllunio ar gyfer Brexit, wrth gwrs, wrth wraidd hyn. Roedd cynllunio argyfyngau sifil Llywodraeth Cymru yn cynllunio ar gyfer nifer o wahanol achosion, gan gynnwys y materion hyn, fel rhan o gynllunio Brexit heb gytundeb. Hoffwn i gael datganiad, os yw'n bosibl, ynghylch sut y gall Llywodraeth Cymru helpu pobl ledled y wlad sy'n wynebu'r anhrefn y maen nhw yn ei hwynebu ar hyn o bryd. Hoffwn i hefyd ofyn am ddatganiad ar gymorth busnes ar ôl i'r ffyrlo ddod i ben, a sut y gallwn ni gefnogi pobl mewn gwaith, wrth i ni weld cefnogaeth gan Lywodraeth y Deyrnas Unedig yn dod i ben ar hyn o bryd. Mae nifer o fusnesau sydd wedi cysylltu â mi, ym Mlaenau Gwent, sy'n pryderu'n fawr am eu gallu i gynnal cyflogaeth, ac mae'n bwysig ein bod ni'n gallu cefnogi a chynnal busnesau, wrth i Lywodraeth y Deyrnas Unedig gerdded i ffwrdd o'u cyfrifoldebau a'r busnesau hynny.
English: Thank you. I think you're certainly correct in the fact that the UK Government did not have that long-term planning that we should have had, and we have certainly seen chaotic scenes over the weekend. I think it's really important to say there is no shortage of fuel in the UK, and we continue to encourage people to buy fuel as they normally would. The civil contingencies part of Welsh Government are currently having discussions. I'm aware of meetings this morning, and I will certainly ask the Minister at the most appropriate time to come forward with a statement for Members. I think we all recognise that, again, furlough finishing on Thursday is too soon. We would have preferred to see it continue, because clearly we are still in the midst of the COVID pandemic. Obviously, as a Government, we have limited funding and limited levers in relation to this. So, I know that the Minister for Economy continues to have discussions with the UK Government about what we can do to support our businesses.
Welsh: Diolch. Rwy'n credu eich bod chi'n sicr yn gywir yn y ffaith nad oedd gan Lywodraeth y DU y cynllunio hirdymor hwnnw y dylem ni fod wedi'i gael, ac yn sicr, rydym ni wedi gweld golygfeydd anhrefnus dros y penwythnos. Rwy'n credu ei bod yn bwysig iawn dweud nad oes prinder tanwydd yn y DU, ac rydym ni'n parhau i annog pobl i brynu tanwydd fel y bydden nhw fel arfer. Mae rhan argyfyngau sifil posibl Llywodraeth Cymru yn trafod ar hyn o bryd. Rwy'n ymwybodol o gyfarfodydd y bore yma, ac yn sicr, byddaf i'n gofyn i'r Gweinidog gyflwyno datganiad i'r Aelodau ar yr adeg fwyaf priodol. Rwy'n credu ein bod ni i gyd yn cydnabod bod dod â'r ffyrlo i ben ddydd Iau, unwaith eto, yn rhy fuan. Byddai'n well gennym ni ei weld yn parhau, oherwydd mae'n amlwg ein bod ni yn dal i fod yng nghanol pandemig COVID. Yn amlwg, fel Llywodraeth, prin yw'r cyllid sydd gennym ni a phrin yw'r dulliau o ran hyn. Felly, gwn i fod Gweinidog yr Economi yn parhau i gael trafodaethau gyda Llywodraeth y DU ynghylch yr hyn y gallwn ni ei wneud i gefnogi ein busnesau.
English: Minister, a few weeks ago I asked for an investigation into how seven patients at Maesteg hospital died in a COVID outbreak last autumn that affected every patient in the hospital. I understand that patients transferred into Maesteg from other hospitals would have tested negative for COVID before admission. So, this means that someone coming into the hospital from a care home or from the community might have brought it in. Why were they not tested? By last autumn, the dangers of sending people into closed environments like care homes or hospitals were well known, so testing should have been done. I would like a statement by the health Minister setting out how infection control is now being managed so that we avoid such disastrous consequences going forward. Thank you very much.
Welsh: Gweinidog, ychydig wythnosau'n ôl, gofynnais i am ymchwiliad i sut y bu farw saith claf yn ysbyty Maesteg o achosion o COVID yr hydref diwethaf a effeithiodd ar bob claf yn yr ysbyty. Rwy'n deall y byddai cleifion a gafodd eu trosglwyddo i Faesteg o ysbytai eraill wedi profi'n negyddol am COVID cyn eu derbyn. Felly, mae hyn yn golygu y gallai rhywun a ddaeth i mewn i'r ysbyty o gartref gofal neu o'r gymuned fod wedi dod ag ef i mewn. Pam na chawson nhw eu profi? Erbyn hydref diwethaf, roedd peryglon anfon pobl i amgylcheddau caeedig fel cartrefi gofal neu ysbytai yn hysbys iawn, felly dylai profion fod wedi cael eu cynnal. Hoffwn i gael datganiad gan y Gweinidog iechyd yn nodi sut y mae rheoli heintiau yn cael ei reoli erbyn hyn fel ein bod ni'n osgoi canlyniadau trychinebus o'r fath wrth symud ymlaen. Diolch yn fawr iawn.
English: Well, the Minister for Health and Social Services will be giving an oral statement every three weeks in the Chamber around the COVID-19 pandemic, and it might be the most appropriate time for you to question her then.
Welsh: Wel, bydd y Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol yn rhoi datganiad llafar bob tair wythnos yn y Siambr ynghylch pandemig COVID-19, ac efallai mai dyma'r amser mwyaf priodol i chi ei holi hi bryd hynny.
English: Could I ask for a statement on the learner transport review, please, Trefnydd? According to the Welsh Government's own website, it was indicated that the review was due to be published in March of this year. However, colleagues in local government have told me that they have been advised that the review is delayed and will be delivered within the life of this Government. Meanwhile, in my region, specifically in the Llynfi valley, in Caerau, a community that has consistently ranked highly in the index of deprivation, and often in the top five in Wales, there are pupils who face a walk of 45 minutes to an hour to get to school, and scenarios like this are being repeated elsewhere in Swansea and Port Talbot. Does the Welsh Government believe that removing school transport for some of the most disadvantaged communities in Wales is the right way forward?
Welsh: A gaf i ofyn am ddatganiad ar yr adolygiad o gludiant i ddysgwyr, os gwelwch yn dda, Trefnydd? Yn ôl gwefan Llywodraeth Cymru ei hun, nodwyd bod yr adolygiad i fod i gael ei gyhoeddi ym mis Mawrth eleni. Fodd bynnag, mae cydweithwyr mewn llywodraeth leol wedi dweud wrthyf i eu bod wedi cael gwybod bod yr adolygiad yn cael ei ohirio ac y bydd yn cael ei gyflawni ym mywyd y Llywodraeth hon. Yn y cyfamser, yn fy rhanbarth i, yn benodol yng nghwm Llynfi, yng Nghaerau, cymuned sy'n gyson yn sgorio'n uchel ar y mynegai amddifadedd, ac yn aml ymhlith y pum uchaf yng Nghymru, mae disgyblion sy'n wynebu taith gerdded o 45 munud i awr i gyrraedd yr ysgol, ac mae senarios fel hyn yn cael eu hailadrodd mewn mannau eraill yn Abertawe a Phort Talbot. A yw Llywodraeth Cymru o'r farn mai cael gwared ar gludiant ysgol i rai o'r cymunedau mwyaf difreintiedig yng Nghymru yw'r ffordd gywir ymlaen?
English: Thank you. Well, the review to which you referred, as you said, we were expecting to have it at the beginning of this year. I think we got it around March, and obviously in the previous administration, we then ran out of time. And I think what that initial review did conclude was that there were very complex - . We had very in-depth discussions with stakeholders, and engagement with them, obviously, and I think what came out was that there were a lot of complex needs, obviously, for people who need that home-to-school transport. And it wasn't just the Measure that needed reviewing, but I think the whole scope of the legislation. So, this is something obviously this Government will be taking forward, and you referred to it in your opening remarks.
Welsh: Diolch. Wel, roedd yr adolygiad y gwnaethoch chi gyfeirio ato, fel y gwnaethoch chi ei ddweud, roeddem ni'n disgwyl ei gael ddechrau'r flwyddyn hon. Rwy'n credu i ni ei gael tua mis Mawrth, ac yn amlwg yn y weinyddiaeth flaenorol, yna daeth ein hamser ni i ben. Ac rwy'n credu mai'r casgliad y daeth yr adolygiad cychwynnol hwnnw iddo oedd ei fod yn gymhleth iawn - . Cawsom ni drafodaethau manwl iawn gyda rhanddeiliaid, ac ymgysylltu â nhw, yn amlwg, ac rwy'n credu mai'r hyn a ddaeth i'r amlwg oedd bod llawer o anghenion cymhleth, yn amlwg, i'r bobl sydd angen y cludiant hwnnw o'r cartref i'r ysgol. Ac nid y Mesur yn unig yr oedd angen ei adolygu, ond holl gwmpas y ddeddfwriaeth, rwy'n credu. Felly, mae'n amlwg y bydd y Llywodraeth hon yn bwrw ymlaen â hyn, a gwnaethoch chi gyfeirio ato yn eich sylwadau agoriadol.
English: Last week, we learned that, as a result of the disastrous decision not to proceed with the electrification of the main railway line up to Swansea, we now have more pollution on these bi-mode trains that were foisted upon us than they have on the worst polluted streets in central London. This is a really serious issue for my constituents, as Cardiff Central Station is where the electrification grinds to a halt, so they are the biggest victims of this belching diesel pollution. And on top of that, this week, we learned that the decision made by the UK Government back in 2017 - . We were given the sop that they were going to produce improvements to the railway lines in other ways, but they haven't even completed the outline business case, and that's nearly five years later. How are we going to be able to go ahead with the excellent recommendations of the Burns commission for the south-east Wales metro if we don't have any idea what the UK Government is proposing? So, I wondered if we could have a statement on how this dithering UK Government is affecting our plans for the south-east Wales metro, given that the spine of the whole business is the way we use the relief lines between Newport and Cardiff, and beyond.
Welsh: Yr wythnos diwethaf, cawsom ni wybod, o ganlyniad i'r penderfyniad trychinebus i beidio â bwrw ymlaen â thrydaneiddio'r brif reilffordd hyd at Abertawe, fod gennym ni yn awr fwy o lygredd ar y trenau bi-mode hyn a gafodd eu gwthio arnom ni nag sydd ganddyn nhw ar y strydoedd llygredig gwaethaf yng nghanol Llundain. Mae hwn yn fater difrifol iawn i fy etholwyr, gan mai Gorsaf Caerdydd Canolog yw'r lle y mae'r trydaneiddio'n dod i ben, felly nhw yw'r rhai sy'n dioddef fwyaf o'r llygredd diesel hwn. Ac ar ben hynny, yr wythnos hon, gwnaethom ni ddysgu bod penderfyniad a gafodd ei wneud gan Lywodraeth y DU yn ôl yn 2017 - . Cawsom ni'r cil-dwrn eu bod yn mynd i gynhyrchu gwelliannau i'r rheilffyrdd mewn ffyrdd eraill, ond nid ydyn nhw hyd yn oed wedi cwblhau'r achos busnes amlinellol, ac mae hynny bron bum mlynedd yn ddiweddarach. Sut ydym ni'n mynd i allu bwrw ymlaen ag argymhellion rhagorol comisiwn Burns ar gyfer metro de-ddwyrain Cymru os nad oes gennym ni unrhyw syniad beth y mae Llywodraeth y DU yn ei gynnig? Felly, tybed a gawn ni ddatganiad ar sut y mae Llywodraeth betrusgar y DU yn effeithio ar ein cynlluniau ar gyfer metro de-ddwyrain Cymru, o gofio mai asgwrn cefn y busnes cyfan yw'r ffordd yr ydym ni'n defnyddio'r llinellau lliniaru rhwng Casnewydd a Chaerdydd, a thu hwnt.
English: Thank you. I absolutely share your dismay to see that those levels of onboard nitrogen dioxide were the highest on GWR. I think it's absolutely a direct consequence of the UK Government stopping electrification short of Cardiff, rather than electrifying the whole line. I was looking at some figures around electrification, and if there's any other example that the UK Government absolutely let Wales down: England, 41 per cent of the track's electrified; Scotland, 25 per cent of the track is electrified; and Wales, only 2 per cent of the track is currently electrified. So, the Welsh Government's really doing its bit on our infrastructure, but we really need the UK Government to step up and complete electrification between Cardiff and Swansea as a starting point, and then commit to a rolling programme of electrification across Wales, and that includes the north Wales coastline, so that we can have those electric services. I think the best way, really, would be for them to devolve rail infrastructure to us, but, of course, with a fair funding settlement so that we can prioritise and deliver the decarbonisation of our rail services in Wales.
Welsh: Diolch. Rwy'n sicr yn rannu eich siom o weld mai'r lefelau nitrogen deuocsid hynny ar y trenau oedd yr uchaf ar GWR. Rwy'n credu ei bod yn ganlyniad cwbl uniongyrchol i Lywodraeth y DU yn rhoi'r gorau i drydaneiddio ychydig cyn Caerdydd, yn hytrach na thrydaneiddio'r holl linell. Roeddwn i'n edrych ar rai ffigurau ynghylch trydaneiddio, ac os oes unrhyw enghraifft arall bod Llywodraeth y DU wedi siomi Cymru'n llwyr: Yn Lloegr, mae 41 y cant o'r trac wedi'i drydaneiddio; yn Yr Alban, mae 25 y cant o'r trac wedi'i drydaneiddio; ac yng Nghymru, dim ond 2 y cant o'r trac sydd wedi'i drydaneiddio ar hyn o bryd. Felly, mae Llywodraeth Cymru wir yn gwneud ei rhan ar ein seilwaith, ond mae gwir angen i Lywodraeth y DU gynyddu a chwblhau trydaneiddio rhwng Caerdydd ac Abertawe fel man cychwyn, ac yna ymrwymo i raglen dreigl o drydaneiddio ledled Cymru, ac mae hynny'n cynnwys arfordir y gogledd, fel y gallwn ni gael y gwasanaethau trydan hynny. Rwy'n credu mai'r ffordd orau, mewn gwirionedd, fyddai iddyn nhw ddatganoli seilwaith rheilffyrdd i ni, ond, wrth gwrs, gyda setliad ariannu teg fel y gallwn ni flaenoriaethu a chyflawni datgarboneiddio ein gwasanaethau rheilffyrdd yng Nghymru.
English: As climate change spokesperson, I am a passionate supporter of the renewable energy sector. Indeed, my constituency is home to many offshore easily visible wind turbines - one of the largest - so I'm looking for a statement from the Minister for Climate Change and energy regarding Awel y Môr offshore wind farm. This proposal will see 91 new massive turbines off the coast if permissions are granted. These turbines are planned for 10.6 kilometres off the coast of Llandudno, with a height of 332m to their tip; that's the size of the Eiffel Tower. These plans are currently going ahead with very little participation of stakeholders, so could I request a statement on the following: whether Awel y Môr has already been given pre-consent by this Welsh Government, as it is suggested? What measures are in place to protect biodiversity, especially given concerns about the negative marine impacts of the previous, existing Gwynt y Môr scheme in terms of species decline, with bird and marine life disturbance? What protections might the Welsh Government consider for seaside communities where the main tourist attraction is the coastal horizon, so that we can help to protect our valued tourism industry? And also, just how can our residents have absolute confidence in a planning process that apparently currently appears to pay more lip service than hold meaningful and accessible consultation events for those wanting to contribute their thoughts. Diolch.
Welsh: Fel llefarydd ar newid hinsawdd, yr wyf i'n gefnogwr brwd o'r sector ynni adnewyddadwy. Yn wir, mae fy etholaeth yn gartref i lawer o dyrbinau gwynt alltraeth sy'n hawdd eu gweld - un o'r rhai mwyaf - felly rwy'n chwilio am ddatganiad gan y Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd ac ynni ynghylch fferm wynt alltraeth Awel y Môr. Bydd y cynnig hwn yn gweld 91 o dyrbinau enfawr newydd oddi ar yr arfordir os caiff caniatâd ei roi. Y bwriad yw i'r tyrbinau hyn gael eu cynllunio ar gyfer 10.6 cilometr oddi ar arfordir Llandudno, gydag uchder o 332m i'w copa; dyna yw maint Tŵr Eiffel. Mae'r cynlluniau hyn yn mynd rhagddynt ar hyn o bryd gydag ychydig iawn o gyfranogiad gan randdeiliaid, felly a gaf i ofyn am ddatganiad ar y canlynol: a yw Awel y Môr eisoes wedi cael caniatâd ymlaen llaw gan Lywodraeth Cymru, fel sydd wedi'i awgrymu? Pa fesurau sydd ar waith i ddiogelu bioamrywiaeth, yn enwedig o ystyried pryderon ynghylch effeithiau morol negyddol cynllun blaenorol Gwynt y Môr o ran dirywiad rhywogaethau, gydag aflonyddu ar adar a bywyd morol? Pa amddiffyniadau gallai Llywodraeth Cymru eu hystyried ar gyfer cymunedau glan môr lle mai'r gorwel arfordirol yw'r prif atyniad i dwristiaid, fel y gallwn ni helpu i ddiogelu ein diwydiant twristiaeth gwerthfawr? A hefyd, sut y gall ein preswylwyr fod â hyder llwyr mewn proses gynllunio sydd, mae'n debyg, yn esgus cefnogi ar hyn o bryd yn hytrach na chynnal digwyddiadau ymgynghori ystyrlon a hygyrch i'r rhai sydd eisiau cyfrannu eu syniadau. Diolch.
English: I'm very pleased you clarified you're in support of renewable energy, because certainly the rest of your question didn't give me the impression at all that you were. Clearly, renewable energy is part of our solution in mitigating climate change, which I do think you share our ambition around. I'm not going to ask the Minister to do a specific statement about the project that you refer to, because I don't think that would be appropriate, but, obviously, at certain times during Government business, we do update Members in relation to our plans for renewable energy. And you're quite right - north Wales is absolutely a prime spot, and certainly, when I was the energy Minister, we had many, many developers and companies who wanted to come and capture the great potential that there is in north Wales.
Welsh: Rwy'n falch iawn eich bod chi wedi egluro eich bod yn cefnogi ynni adnewyddadwy, oherwydd yn sicr nid oedd gweddill eich cwestiwn yn rhoi'r argraff i mi eich bod chi o gwbl. Yn amlwg, mae ynni adnewyddadwy yn rhan o'n datrysiad o ran lliniaru newid yn yr hinsawdd, yr wyf yn credu eich bod chi'n rhannu'n huchelgais yn ei gylch. Nid wyf i eisiau gofyn i'r Gweinidog wneud datganiad penodol ynghylch y prosiect yr ydych chi'n cyfeirio ato, oherwydd nid wyf i'n credu y byddai hynny'n briodol, ond, yn amlwg, ar adegau penodol yn ystod busnes y Llywodraeth, rydym ni'n rhoi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i'r Aelodau o ran ein cynlluniau ar gyfer ynni adnewyddadwy. Ac rydych chi'n hollol gywir - mae'r gogledd yn lleoliad gwbl wych, ac yn sicr, pan oeddwn i'n Weinidog ynni, yr oedd gennym ni lawer, iawn o ddatblygwyr a chwmnïau a oedd eisiau dod i gipio'r potensial mawr sydd yn y gogledd.
English: Could I ask for two statements? One of them is actually echoing the point made earlier on - it would be great to get a statement on the timing of the outcome of the extended consultation on school transport. It's been extended to look at this issue over the free travel aspects and the distance. Bridgend traditionally provided more generous than most local authorities in Wales transport in Wales, but it had a decade of austerity funding. I noticed that, when this was debated in the council chamber, no alternative was put forward by any politician in the chamber to actually move into the statutory minimum. However, I'm looking forward with high expectation to the outcome of the Welsh Government consultation to see whether it puts forward any new proposals in Wales. I know my constituents are looking forward to that as well. Secondly, could we have a statement on the issue of HGV class 1 testing and training? I've got constituents who are ready to actually go through, to leap through, that final hoop to drive articulated lorries, but the cost can be up to and in excess of £2,000, plus the test fee on top of that as well. I wonder whether there is UK Government support or Welsh Government support, or whether there are companies in Wales that can be spoken to by Welsh Government, as I know there are in England, who will actually sponsor candidates now to go through this to fill in some of that backlog in the absence of hauliers that we currently have.
Welsh: A gaf i ofyn am ddau ddatganiad? Mae un ohonyn nhw mewn gwirionedd yn adleisio'r pwynt a gafodd ei wneud yn gynharach - byddai'n wych cael datganiad ar amseriad canlyniad yr ymgynghoriad estynedig ar gludiant i'r ysgol. Mae wedi'i ymestyn i edrych ar y mater hwn ynghylch yr agweddau teithio am ddim a'r pellter. Yn draddodiadol, darparodd Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr cludiant fwy hael na'r rhan fwyaf o awdurdodau lleol yng Nghymru, ond cafodd ddegawd o gyllid cyni. Sylwais i, pan gafodd hyn ei drafod yn siambr y cyngor, na chafodd unrhyw ddewis arall ei gyflwyno gan unrhyw wleidydd yn y siambr i symud i'r lleiafswm statudol. Fodd bynnag, rwy'n edrych ymlaen yn fawr at ganlyniad ymgynghoriad Llywodraeth Cymru i weld a yw'n cyflwyno unrhyw gynigion newydd yng Nghymru. Rwy'n gwybod bod fy etholwyr i'n edrych ymlaen at hynny hefyd. Yn ail, a gawn ni ddatganiad ar fater profion a hyfforddiant dosbarth 1 Cerbydau Nwyddau Trwm? Mae gennyf i etholwyr sy'n barod i gymryd y cam olaf, i lamu at y cam olaf hwnnw i yrru lorïau cymalog, ond gall y gost fod hyd at £2,000, ynghyd â'r ffi prawf ar ben hynny hefyd. Tybed a oes cefnogaeth gan Lywodraeth y DU neu gefnogaeth Llywodraeth Cymru, neu a oes cwmnïau yng Nghymru y gall Llywodraeth Cymru siarad â nhw, fel yr wyf i'n ymwybodol ohonyn nhw yn Lloegr, a fydd mewn gwirionedd yn noddi ymgeiswyr nawr i fynd drwy hyn i lenwi rhywfaint o'r ôl-groniad hwnnw yn absenoldeb cludwyr sydd gennym ni ar hyn o bryd.
