English: Let's just get a few things straight. The solution at Crewe hub is absolutely essential; this is not a side issue. If the solution at Crewe is not beneficial to north Wales, then that will lead to HS2 having an adverse impact on the north of the country as well as on the south. Now, Wales has already received additional funding over the current spending review period as a result of the increases in the Department for Transport budget, which, in no small part, is due to HS2, and we are making a compelling case for further consequentials to be delivered to us as soon as possible. I think it's important to say that in rebalancing the UK economy, we need to ensure that we rebalance all of the Welsh economy as well. Many parts of Wales interact very closely with other parts of the UK, principally those border areas. Now, it's essential, therefore, that the UK Government spend that serves the purpose of cross-border economic flow is utilised as much as possible. That means improving the M4 corridor, it means improving the Great Western line, it means improving the north Wales coastline, it means improving that cross-border area in north-east Wales and, of course, between mid Wales and the midlands as well. It means drawing down far more money than has been spent by the Department for Transport on rail services and rail infrastructure in Wales in the future than has been the case in the past. I note that the particular projects that the Member said could've been paid for by the HS2 programme were all in Plaid Cymru constituencies. I would suggest that it's essential, as we move forward, that we don't seek to identify projects that would only be beneficial to our own immediate areas, and we actually rely on the expert advice of the National Infrastructure Commission for Wales, whenever and however possible. That commission is now up and running. I will be seeking advice from that commission. I would urge all Members, given its independence - all Members - to make statements of support for any infrastructure programme based on the evidence that is provided and the advice that is provided by those experts on the commission.
Welsh: Gadewch i ni fod yn glir ynglŷn ag ychydig o bethau. Mae'r ateb yn nghanolfan Crewe yn gwbl hanfodol; nid yw'n fater ymylol. Os nad yw'r ateb yn Crewe yn fuddiol i ogledd Cymru, bydd hynny'n arwain at HS2 yn effeithio'n andwyol ar ogledd y wlad yn ogystal ag ar y de. Nawr, mae Cymru eisoes wedi derbyn cyllid ychwanegol dros gyfnod yr adolygiad o wariant cyfredol o ganlyniad i'r cynnydd yng nghyllideb yr Adran Drafnidiaeth, oherwydd HS2 i raddau helaeth, ac rydym yn gwneud achos cryf dros weld mwy o gyllid canlyniadol yn dod i ni cyn gynted â phosibl. Rwy'n credu ei bod yn bwysig dweud, mewn perthynas ag ail-gydbwyso economi'r DU, fod angen i ni sicrhau ein bod yn ail-gydbwyso economi Cymru i gyd yn ogystal. Mae sawl rhan o Gymru'n rhyngweithio'n agos iawn â rhannau eraill o'r DU, yn bennaf yr ardaloedd ffiniol. Nawr, mae'n hanfodol, felly, fod gwariant Llywodraeth y DU sy'n sicrhau llif economaidd trawsffiniol yn cael ei ddefnyddio cymaint â phosibl. Mae hynny'n golygu gwella coridor yr M4, mae'n golygu gwella rheilffordd y Great Western, mae'n golygu gwella arfordir gogledd Cymru, mae'n golygu gwella'r ardal drawsffiniol yng ngogledd-ddwyrain Cymru ac wrth gwrs, rhwng canolbarth Cymru a chanolbarth Lloegr yn ogystal. Mae'n golygu gwario llawer mwy o arian gan yr Adran Drafnidiaeth ar wasanaethau rheilffyrdd a seilwaith rheilffyrdd yng Nghymru yn y dyfodol nag a wnaed yn y gorffennol. Nodaf fod y prosiectau penodol y mae'r Aelod wedi dweud y gallai'r rhaglen HS2 fod wedi talu amdanynt i gyd yn etholaethau Plaid Cymru. Buaswn yn awgrymu ei bod yn hanfodol, wrth i ni symud ymlaen, nad ydym yn ceisio nodi prosiectau sydd ond yn mynd i fod o fudd i'n hardaloedd uniongyrchol ein hunain yn unig, a'n bod yn dibynnu ar gyngor arbenigol Comisiwn Seilwaith Cenedlaethol Cymru pryd bynnag a sut bynnag y gallwn wneud hynny. Mae'r comisiwn hwnnw bellach yn weithredol. Byddaf yn ceisio cyngor gan y comisiwn. Buaswn yn annog pob Aelod, o ystyried ei annibyniaeth - pob Aelod - i wneud datganiadau o gefnogaeth i unrhyw raglen seilwaith sy'n seiliedig ar y dystiolaeth a ddarperir a'r cyngor a ddarperir gan yr arbenigwyr sy'n rhan o'r comisiwn.
