English: In terms of language planning, I don't think that we've done enough to date, and, in a way, what language planning means is long-term strategic planning and to carry out an assessment of where we currently are, to run different scenarios in terms of where we could be under different conditions and with various modes of operation, but also where we are aiming to be and what we need to do to reach that particular point. But all of that is dovetailed with a linguistic dynamic in a situation where you have one very strong language and a minority language sitting next to it, and all of the psychological and social complexities as well as the cultural issues that are all part of that, which do impact on how people respond to various scenarios or opportunities. Do they see it as a threat or an opportunity? It is an exceptionally interesting area and a very complex one, but I do think that it's important that if we do want to make progress we do tackle that area, not necessarily on a legislative basis. I think we could go a long way in terms of developing that work without the need for legislation, but I do think that it's very important work.
Welsh: O ran cynllunio ieithyddol, nid wyf i'n credu ein bod ni wedi gwneud digon ohono fe hyd yma, ac mewn ffordd, ei ystyr e yw cynllunio'n strategol - cynllunio tymor hir ac edrych a gwneud asesiad o ble rydym ni nawr, rhedeg gwahanol senarios, mewn ffordd, o ble allem ni fod o dan wahanol amodau a gyda gwahanol ddulliau o weithredu, ond hefyd ble rydym ni eisiau bod ac yn anelu bod a beth sydd angen inni ei wneud i gyrraedd y fan yna. Ond hynny i gyd wedi'i blethu gyda deinameg ieithyddol, a deinameg ieithyddol mewn sefyllfa lle mae un iaith gref iawn ac un iaith leiafrifol, a'r holl gymhlethdodau seicolegol, cymdeithasol, diwylliannol sydd yn cyd-fynd â hynny sydd yn effeithio wedyn ar sut mae pobl yn ymateb i wahanol sefyllfaoedd neu gyfleoedd. A ydyn nhw'n ei gweld hi fel bygythiad neu'n gyfle? Hynny yw, mae'n faes eithriadol o ddiddorol ac eithriadol o gymhleth, ond rydw i'n credu ei bod hi'n bwysig, os ydym ni eisiau symud yn ein blaenau, ein bod ni'n mynd i'r afael â'r maes, ddim o reidrwydd ar sail ddeddfwriaethol, nid wyf yn credu. Rydw i'n credu y gallwn ni fynd yn bell iawn o ran datblygu'r gwaith yna heb yr angen am ddeddfwriaeth, ond rydw i'n credu ei fod e'n waith pwysig iawn.
English: I think that's interesting. There is a great need - and this is where Ioan's expertise comes into play - but there is a grave need for research in order to understand what the motivations of parents and carers are for choosing Welsh-medium care and education for their children, or otherwise. I think there is some precedent in terms of language planning and workforce planning here in Wales and that was one of the outcomes of 'Iaith Pawb' when the Welsh Government decided to create a national training scheme that Mudiad Meithrin has been running for some years now, which qualifies individuals to attain a certificate to work that is accredited, which means that they get the necessary training to become carers for children in c ylchoedd meithrin. That's hugely important because I think it's one of the few examples that we have of an economic work programme that puts the Welsh language above all other considerations, and I think the risk is if we're going to rely on the free market in terms of Welsh -medium qualifications competing with English qualifications when it comes to childcare, we're at risk of losing momentum and taking our foot off the accelerator. So, the precedent is already in place here in Wales in terms of planning for the workforce, in my area, at least, and I would like to see that continue.
Welsh: Mae hynny'n ddiddorol. Mae yna angen dybryd o safbwynt - . A dyma le mae arbenigedd Ioan yn dod i rym, ond mae angen dybryd am ymchwil ar ddeall beth ydy cyhelliant rhieni a gofalwyr dros ddewis neu beidio dewis gofal ac addysg Gymraeg i'w plant. Rydw i'n credu bod yna gynsail o safbwynt cynllunio ieithyddol a chynllunio'r gweithlu yma yng Nghymru, a hwnnw ydy un o ddeilliannau cyfnod 'Iaith Pawb' pan benderfynodd Llywodraeth Cymru greu cynllun hyfforddiant cenedlaethol - y mae Mudiad Meithrin wedi bod yn ei redeg ers rhai blynyddoedd erbyn hyn - sydd yn cymhwyso unigolion i ennill eu tystysgrif i weithio, wedi'i achredu a'i ddilysu, sydd yn golygu eu bod nhw'n cael yr hyfforddiant angenrheidiol i fod yn ofalwyr am blant mewn cylchoedd meithrin. Mae hynny'n bwysig iawn achos rydw i'n credu ei fod o'n un o'r ychydig esiamplau sydd gennym ni o gynllun gwaith economaidd sydd yn rhoi'r Gymraeg yn frenin ar yr holl ystyriaethau, a'r peryg, rydw i'n meddwl, ydy os ydym ni'n mynd i ddibynnu ar y farchnad rydd o safbwynt cymwysterau Cymraeg yn cystadlu yn erbyn cymwysterau Saesneg pan mae'n dod i faes gofal plant, rydym ni mewn peryg o golli momentwm ac o dynnu'n troed oddi ar y sbardun. Felly, mae'r cynsail yn bodoli yma yng Nghymru'n barod o safbwynt cynllunio ar gyfer y gweithlu, yn fy maes i, beth bynnag, ac mi fuaswn i'n dymuno gweld hynny'n parhau.
English: I would agree. I think there is a danger, perhaps, for us to look for examples of good practice in other parts of the world, perhaps, and forget that the situation in Wales is unique. The Basque Country is different to Wales; there is much for us to learn from the Basque Country, I'm sure, but one of the interesting elements there is that there is a great use of the English language in order to counteract the use of the Spanish language, and that's a completely different situation to what we have in Wales. We're very aware that English is a language that is used broadly in higher education across Europe, and so what's happening in Wales is exceptional then, when you consider this. It was even picked up in the Times Higher Education quite recently. So, I think I would agree that there is a need for us to look at examples of good practice, but, as Gwenllian said, we should also be looking in detail at our own unique situation here and addressing, as Rebecca said, these complexities because it is part of building the momentum and of carrying the nation, if you like, with us as part of the strategy.
Welsh: Byddwn i'n cytuno. Rwy'n credu bod yna berygl, efallai, inni chwilio am enghreifftiau o arfer da mewn rhannau eraill o'r byd, efallai, gan anghofio bod sefyllfa Cymru'n gymharol unigryw. Mae Gwlad y Basg yn wahanol i Gymru, er mae yna lawer i ddysgu oddi wrth Wlad y Basg, rydw i'n siŵr, ond un o'r elfennau diddorol yn y fan yna yw bod yna ddefnydd helaeth o'r Saesneg er mwyn gwrthweithio effaith y Sbaeneg. Nawr, mae honno'n sefyllfa hollol wahanol i beth sydd gennym ni yng Nghymru. Rydym ni'n ymwybodol iawn hefyd fod y Saesneg yn iaith sy'n cael ei defnyddio'n helaeth mewn addysg uwch bellach ar draws Ewrop. Felly, mae'r hyn sy'n digwydd yng Nghymru yn eithriadol, wedyn, o ystyried hynny. Mi gafodd ef ei bigo i fyny, hyd yn oed, yn y Times Higher Education yn gymharol ddiweddar. Felly, rwy'n credu y byddwn i'n cytuno bod angen inni fod yn edrych ar enghreifftiau o arfer da, ond byddwn i hefyd, fel dywedodd Gwenllian, yn edrych yn fanwl ar ein sefyllfa unigryw ni yma ac yn mynd i'r afael, fel dywedodd Rebecca hefyd, â'r cymhlethdodau hyn, achos mae'n rhan o adeiladu'r momentwm ac o gario'r genedl, os mynnwch chi, gyda ni fel rhan o'r strategaeth.
English: Those are all our questions, but if you do have any additional information that you want to provide to us as a committee then you're welcome to do that, and if we have any additional questions once we've completed our evidence sessions - . I think we will continue with these sessions until February, so it's quite a comprehensive inquiry. But thank you very much for joining us and thank you for your time this morning.
Welsh: Dyna'r cwestiynau sydd gyda ni, ond os oes gwybodaeth ychwanegol rydych chi eisiau rhoi inni fel pwyllgor, yna mae croeso ichi, neu os oes cwestiynau ychwanegol gyda ni ar ôl inni gael y sesiynau tystiolaeth ychwanegol tan ddiwedd - . Wel, rydw i'n credu tan fis Chwefror nesaf byddwn ni'n dal yn cymryd tystiolaeth. So, mae'n ymchwiliad eithaf cynhwysfawr, ond diolch yn fawr iawn ichi am ddod i mewn ac am eich amser yma heddiw.
English: Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr ichi.
English: Item 5, papers to note. There is a paper on funding for and access to music education from the Welsh Local Government Association; there is a paper on the short inquiry into the implications of Brexit from Equity; and then there is a response from the Arts Council of Wales, which is a reply to a letter from me on the annual scrutiny. Does any Member have any questions on those papers?
Welsh: Eitem 5, papurau i'w nodi. Mae yna bapur ar ariannu addysg cerddoriaeth gan Gymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru; mae yna bapur ar yr ymchwiliad byr i oblygiadau ymadael â'r Undeb Ewropeaidd gan Equity; ac wedyn mae yna ateb gan Gyngor Celfyddydau Cymru i lythyr gen i ynglŷn â chraffu blynyddol. A oes yna gwestiwn gan Aelod ar hynny?
English: We'll move on to item 6, a motion under Standing Orders to exclude the public from the rest of the meeting. Everyone content?
Welsh: Symudwn ymlaen, felly, i eitem 6, cynnig o dan Reolau Sefydlog i wahardd y cyhoedd o weddill y cyfarfod. Ydy pawb yn hapus gyda hynny?
English: Content. Excellent; thank you.
Welsh: Bodlon. Diolch yn fawr iawn.
English: The first item on our agenda this afternoon is questions to the First Minister. And the first question is from Mike Hedges.
Welsh: Yr eitem gyntaf ar ein hagenda ni y prynhawn yma yw cwestiynau i'r Prif Weinidog. Ac mae'r cwestiwn cyntaf gan Mike Hedges.
English: I share the concerns of others in the public sector that the proposed changes to public sector pension schemes risk diverting further funding from front-line services. The UK Government is responsible for these changes and we have made it clear that they must fund the increase in pension contributions.
Welsh: Rwy'n rhannu pryderon pobl eraill yn y sector cyhoeddus bod perygl y bydd y newidiadau arfaethedig i gynlluniau pensiwn sector cyhoeddus yn dargyfeirio rhagor o arian o wasanaethau rheng flaen. Llywodraeth y DU sy'n gyfrifol am y newidiadau hyn ac rydym ni wedi ei gwneud yn glir bod yn rhaid iddyn nhw ariannu'r cynnydd i gyfraniadau pensiwn.
English: Can I thank the First Minister for that answer? The cost of funding the increase in the employer teacher pension contributions follows the decision of Westminster to implement cost capping, and this will fall mainly on school budgets. Unless money comes from Westminster - and there may be money from Westminster - will the First Minister commit that any money that comes as a consequential of the additional money for schools in England to cover the pensions will actually be given to schools in Wales?
Welsh: A gaf i ddiolch i'r Prif Weinidog am yr ateb yna? Mae'r gost o ariannu'r cynnydd i gyfraniadau pensiwn cyflogwyr athrawon yn dilyn penderfyniad San Steffan i gyflwyno cap costau, a bydd hyn yn effeithio ar gyllidebau ysgolion yn bennaf. Oni ddaw arian gan San Steffan - ac efallai y bydd arian gan San Steffan - a wnaiff y Prif Weinidog ymrwymo y bydd unrhyw arian a ddaw fel swm canlyniadol o'r arian ychwanegol ar gyfer ysgolion yn Lloegr i dalu am y pensiynau wir yn cael ei roi i ysgolion yng Nghymru?
English: Well, we have already made it clear that local authorities are first in the queue, although there is a queue in terms of funding, but that depends on whether we do get consequentials. What is not fair, nor is it right, is a situation to arise where the UK Government imposes extra costs on local authorities that the Welsh Government is then expected to fund. That clearly can't be right. So, where costs are imposed by Government, we have an agreement with local authorities where we say that any new costs will be funded. The UK Government needs to do the same.
Welsh: Wel, rydym ni eisoes wedi ei gwneud yn glir bod awdurdodau lleol ar flaen y ciw, er bod ciw o ran cyllid, ond mae hynny'n dibynnu ar ba un a fyddwn ni yn cael symiau canlyniadol ai peidio. Yr hyn nad yw'n deg, ac nad yw'n iawn ychwaith, yw sefyllfa'n codi pan fo Llywodraeth y DU yn gorfodi costau ychwanegol ar awdurdodau lleol y disgwylir i Lywodraeth Cymru eu hariannu wedyn. Ni all hynny fod yn iawn, yn amlwg. Felly, pan fydd costau yn cael eu gorfodi gan y Llywodraeth, mae gennym ni gytundeb gydag awdurdodau lleol lle'r ydym ni'n dweud y bydd unrhyw gostau newydd yn cael eu hariannu. Mae angen i Lywodraeth y DU wneud yr un fath.
English: Well, of course, local authorities complain all the time that they're asked to make spending decisions based on decisions made here that aren't followed up by money. And if the Welsh Local Government Association is right on this one, we'll have far fewer teachers building up pensions rights anyway as a result of the cash cuts to both local government and the education budgets in the recent budget announcement. Last week, we heard from the leader of Bridgend council about the cuts he was planning on making to services following the Welsh Government draft budget, and this week we have Swansea council's leader - both of these Labour, of course - saying that he's going to be making cuts to his schools budget due to the settlement from Welsh Government. The Chancellor's budget allocates three years' worth of funding. So, in your final weeks as First Minister, will you use some of that additional money to give local authority leaders in Wales the money they need to fund schools and staff?
Welsh: Wel, wrth gwrs, mae awdurdodau lleol yn cwyno bob amser y gofynnir iddyn nhw wneud penderfyniadau gwario yn seiliedig ar benderfyniadau a wneir yma nad ydyn nhw'n eu dilyn gan arian. Ac os yw Cymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru yn iawn am hyn, bydd gennym ni lawer llai o athrawon yn cronni hawliau pensiynau beth bynnag o ganlyniad i'r toriadau arian parod i'r cyllidebau llywodraeth leol ac addysg yn y cyhoeddiad cyllideb diweddar. Yr wythnos diwethaf, clywsom gan arweinydd cyngor Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr am y toriadau yr oedd yn bwriadu eu gwneud i wasanaethau yn dilyn cyllideb ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru, ac yr wythnos hon mae gennym ni arweinydd cyngor Abertawe - y ddau o'r rhain o'r balid Lafur, wrth gwrs - yn dweud ei fod yn mynd i wneud toriadau i'r gyllideb ysgolion oherwydd y setliad gan Lywodraeth Cymru. Mae cyllideb y Canghellor yn dyrannu gwerth tair blynedd o gyllid. Felly, yn eich wythnosau olaf fel Prif Weinidog, a wnewch chi ddefnyddio rhywfaint o'r arian ychwanegol hwnnw i roi'r arian i arweinwyr awdurdodau lleol yng Nghymru sydd ei angen arnynt i ariannu ysgolion a staff?
English: The Chancellor's funding decision does not give us three years of funding, nor is it anything like the figure that he suggested of £555 million. In fact, we estimate it's around about £50 million or £60 million of revenue in this year, and £2.6 million in capital. So, a great deal of spin has gone into that announcement. What I can say is, having spoken to the leader of Bridgend, and spoken to the leader of Swansea, is, yes, they face difficult decisions and we're looking to help them, but they are absolutely clear that those decisions they face are as a result of the austerity imposed by a Tory Government in London.
Welsh: Nid yw penderfyniad ariannu'r Canghellor yn rhoi tair blynedd o gyllid i ni, ac nid yw'n agos at y ffigur a awgrymodd o £555 miliwn. A dweud y gwir, rydym ni'n amcangyfrif ei fod tua £50 miliwn neu £60 miliwn o refeniw y flwyddyn hon, ac yn £2.6 miliwn mewn cyfalaf. Felly, mae llawer iawn o sbin yn gysylltiedig â'r cyhoeddiad hwnnw. Yr hyn y gallaf ei ddweud, ar ôl siarad ag arweinydd Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr, a siarad ag arweinydd Abertawe, yw, ydy, maen nhw'n wynebu penderfyniadau anodd ac rydym ni'n ceisio eu helpu nhw, ond maen nhw'n gwbl glir bod y penderfyniadau hynny y maen nhw'n eu hwynebu yn ganlyniad i'r cyni cyllidol a gyflwynwyd gan Lywodraeth Dorïaidd yn Llundain.
English: It's clear that the uncertainty around these pension payments is creating great problems at a grass-roots level, and it's not clear at all what the mechanism will be for providing the additional funding. What discussions are you having, therefore, with the Treasury, with your Members of Parliament in Westminster and, indeed, with the teaching unions about this problem?
Welsh: Mae'n amlwg fod yr ansicrwydd o gwmpas y taliadau pensiwn yma yn creu problemau mawr ar lawr gwlad, ac nid ydym ni'n glir o gwbl beth fydd y mecanwaith ar gyfer darparu'r arian ychwanegol yma. Pa drafodaethau ydych chi'n eu cael, felly, efo'r Trysorlys, efo'ch Aelodau Seneddol chi yn San Steffan ac, yn wir, efo'r undebau addysg ynglŷn â'r broblem yma?
English: We, along with Scotland, have written to call for changes in teachers' pensions, and that should be funded from the UK Government. It's they who have created this situation, and the same is true in Scotland, as I understand it, and so we have written jointly to say, 'You have insisted on imposing this additional cost on local authorities, therefore you should fund it'.
Welsh: Rydym ni wedi ysgrifennu, gyda'r Alban, i alw am y newidiadau ynglŷn â'r pensiynau athrawon, a dylai hynny gael ei gyllido gan Lywodraeth y Deyrnas Unedig. Nhw, wrth gwrs, sydd wedi creu'r sefyllfa, ac mae'r un peth yn yr Alban, fel rwy'n deall, ac felly rydym ni wedi ysgrifennu gyda'n gilydd er mwyn dweud, 'Chi sydd wedi mynnu dodi'r gost hyn ar awdurdodau lleol, felly chi ddylai dalu.'
English: It is the responsibility of the Valuation Office Agency, independently of the Welsh Government, to determine whether each property in Wales is liable for council tax or for non-domestic rates, and these decisions are made according to criteria set out in law.
Welsh: Cyfrifoldeb Asiantaeth y Swyddfa Brisio, yn annibynnol ar Lywodraeth Cymru, yw penderfynu a ddylai pob eiddo dalu treth gyngor neu ardrethi annomestig, ac mae'r penderfyniadau hynny yn cael eu gwneud gan ddilyn meini prawf sydd wedi'u gosod yn y gyfraith.
English: The impact of the second-homes market and holiday homes is well known, in terms of young people's ability to get on the property ladder locally. It pushes prices up and pushes people out of the housing market. We know the gravity of the problem - 36 homes sold in Anglesey in 2017-18 were second homes or buy-to-lets. The figures are even higher in Gwynedd, and that's very concerning indeed. I'm very supportive of measures such as charging more council tax on second homes as a way of making people think twice or to bring more funds into local authority coffers. But there is a pattern emerging now, where more and more people, rather than paying council tax on their homes, are registering them as business properties so that they would then have to pay business rates. But, as small businesses, they receive full business rate relief, and that is expensive for local authorities. Does the First Minister agree with me that this is a loophole that needs to be closed, and what is the Government considering doing in order to close that loophole?
Welsh: Mae'n hysbys iawn yr effaith mae pryniant ar farchnad ail gartrefi a thai gwyliau yn ei chael ar allu pobl ifanc i gael ar yr ysgol eiddo yn lleol. Mae o'n gwthio prisiau i fyny ac yn gwthio pobl allan o'r farchnad dai. Rydym ni'n gwybod beth yw difrifoldeb y broblem - 36 o dai a gafodd eu gwerthu yn Ynys Môn yn 2017-18 yn ail gartrefi neu yn buy-to-lets. Mae'r ffigurau'n uwch fyth yng Ngwynedd, ac mae hynny'n bryderus iawn. Rwy'n gefnogol iawn o fesurau, er enghraifft, fel codi mwy o dreth cyngor ar ail gartrefi fel ffordd o wneud i bobl feddwl ddwywaith, neu i ddod â rhagor o arian i mewn i goffrau cynghorau lleol. Ond mae yna batrwm yn ymddangos erbyn hyn lle mae mwy a mwy o bobl, yn hytrach na thalu treth cyngor ar y tai, yn eu cofrestru nhw fel eiddo busnes fel y byddan nhw wedyn yn gorfod talu ardrethi busnes. Ond, fel busnesau bach, maen nhw'n cael rhyddhad llawn o ardrethi busnes, ac mae hynny'n costio'n ddrud i awdurdodau lleol. A ydy'r Prif Weinidog yn cytuno bod hwn yn loophole sydd angen ei gau, a beth mae'r Llywodraeth yn ystyried ei wneud er mwyn cau y loophole yna?
English: I don't think there's a loophole, but the law is very clear - it's stronger than in England. It is a matter, of course, for the Valuation Office Agency, but if somebody wants to change their status, where they change from paying the council tax to paying business non-domestic rates, they have to show evidence that that is correct. They can't just state that; they have to provide evidence. If that evidence is weak, or the evidence isn't sufficient, the Valuation Office Agency can reconsider what they've done, and then, of course, they can give them a bill that could go back years regarding paying the council tax. So, ensuring that the law is considered is the point here, and I think the law is clear enough, but it's up to the Valuation Office Agency to police the situation.
Welsh: Nid ydw i'n credu ei fod e'n loophole. Mae'r gyfraith yn eithaf clir - mae'r gyfraith yn gryfach nag yn Lloegr. Mater, wrth gwrs, i'r swyddfa brisio yw hwn, ond os yw rhywun yn moyn newid eu statws, lle maen nhw'n newid o dalu treth y cyngor i dalu ardrethi anomestig, mae'n rhaid iddyn nhw ddangos tystiolaeth bod hynny'n iawn. Nawr, allan nhw ddim jest datgan mai dyna sydd wedi digwydd; mae'n rhaid iddyn nhw ddangos tystiolaeth. Os yw'r dystiolaeth honno yn wan, neu os nad yw'r dystiolaeth yn ddigonol, felly wrth gwrs y byddai'r swyddfa brisio yn gallu ailystyried beth maen nhw wedi ei wneud, ac wedyn maen nhw'n gallu rhoi bil iddyn nhw, sydd yn mynd nôl efallai flynyddoedd ynglŷn â thalu treth y cyngor. Felly, sicrhau bod y gyfraith yn cael ei hystyried yw'r pwynt fan hyn. Rwy'n credu bod y gyfraith yn ddigon clir, ond mae hi lan i'r swyddfa brisio blismona'r sefyllfa.
English: Well, you refer to the criteria that the Valuation Office Agency must adjudicate, where, in Wales, property is judged to be a business property and not liable for business rates if it's available for letting commercially as self-catering accommodation for 140 or more days in the following 12 months, has been in the previous 12 months, and has actually been commercially let for at least 70 days during that period. What assurance can you therefore provide the many providers, from Flintshire to Anglesey, who have contacted me, who run legitimate self-catering business, many of whom are farms that have diversified, that their genuine and legitimate businesses will not be compromised by any changes that might come?
Welsh: Wel, rydych chi'n cyfeirio at y meini prawf y mae'n rhaid i Asiantaeth y Swyddfa Brisio eu dyfarnu, lle, yng Nghymru, ystyrir bod eiddo yn eiddo busnes ac nad yw'n agored i dalu ardrethi busnes os yw ar gael i'w osod yn fasnachol fel llety hunan-arlwyo am 140 neu fwy o ddiwrnodau yn ystod y 12 mis canlynol, wedi ei osod yn ystod y 12 mis blaenorol, ac wedi ei osod yn fasnachol am o leiaf 70 diwrnod yn ystod y cyfnod hwnnw. Pa sicrwydd allwch chi ei roi i'r darparwyr niferus felly, o Sir y Fflint i Ynys Môn, sydd wedi cysylltu â mi, sy'n rhedeg busnes hunan-arlwyo cyfreithlon, y mae llawer ohonyn nhw yn ffermydd sydd wedi arallgyfeirio, na fydd eu busnesau dilys a chyfreithlon yn cael eu peryglu gan unrhyw newidiadau a allai ddigwydd?
English: Well, genuine businesses need not fear, of course. What I can say is that the Cabinet Secretary for Finance is evaluating the impact of the introduction of council tax premiums. That does include a survey of local authorities, to assess how many properties have switched from council tax to non-domestic rates. Once that survey is complete, we can then see what the scale of the problem is, and whether there is a need to do more to ensure that people pay properly, according to the status of the property that they own.
Welsh: Wel, nid oes angen i fusnesau dilys ofni, wrth gwrs. Yr hyn y gallaf ei ddweud yw bod Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Gyllid yn gwerthuso effaith cyflwyno premiymau treth gyngor. Mae hynny'n cynnwys arolwg o awdurdodau lleol, i asesu faint o eiddo sydd wedi newid o'r dreth gyngor i ardrethi annomestig. Ar ôl i'r arolwg hwnnw gael ei gwblhau, gallwn weld wedyn beth yw maint y broblem, a pha un a oes angen gwneud mwy i sicrhau bod pobl yn talu'n briodol, yn unol â statws yr eiddo y maen nhw'n berchen arno.
