English: Well, in order to raise the wealth and also the well-being of the country, we need Wales and we need the UK to become more productive. We also need to be able to compete better on the international stage. My grave fear is that, if we crash out of the European Union with no deal, our economy will shrink by around 10 per cent, our competitiveness will be hammered, our productivity levels could crumble and crash, because it will simply not be as easy as it is now to be able to get skilled labour here at the drop of a hat or, indeed, to deploy people from - we talk about Airbus - Broughton to Toulouse at a moment's notice. We won't be able to transport goods freely and rapidly. And also this is set against the backdrop of industry 4.0, which, I do believe actually offers us an opportunity to leapfrog other nations. There are precious few opportunities that economies have to excel in a short, rapid period of time, but the fourth industrial revolution, if we capture all of the opportunities, if we embrace it, gives us an opportunity to leapfrog, not just some of the existing strong economies of the world but also those that are biting on our heels. We will be able to surge ahead of them, but, as I say, it's only if we embrace the fourth industrial revolution.
Welsh: Wel, er mwyn codi lefelau cyfoeth yn ogystal â lles y wlad, mae arnom angen i Gymru ac mae arnom angen i'r DU ddod yn fwy cynhyrchiol. Mae angen inni hefyd allu cystadlu'n well ar y llwyfan rhyngwladol. Os ydym yn gadael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd heb gytundeb, fy ofn mawr yw y bydd ein heconomi'n crebachu oddeutu 10 y cant, bydd yna ergyd i'n cystadleurwydd, gallai ein lefelau cynhyrchiant ostwng a chwympo'n sydyn, oherwydd ni fydd mor hawdd ag y mae ar hyn o bryd i ddod o hyd i lafur medrus yma ar chwarae bach nac yn wir, i adleoli pobl - rydym yn siarad am Airbus - o Frychdyn i Toulouse heb fawr o rybudd. Ni fyddwn yn gallu cludo nwyddau'n rhydd ac yn gyflym. Ac mae hyn hefyd wedi'i osod yn erbyn cefndir diwydiant 4.0, sy'n cynnig cyfle i ni wneud yn well na chenhedloedd eraill mewn gwirionedd. Ychydig iawn o gyfleoedd gwerthfawr a gaiff economïau i ragori'n sydyn mewn cyfnod byr, ond os manteisiwn ar yr holl gyfleoedd, mae'r pedwerydd chwyldro diwydiannol yn rhoi cyfle i ni wneud yn well na rhai o economïau cryf presennol y byd ond hefyd y rhai sy'n brathu wrth ein sodlau. Byddwn yn gallu llamu o'u blaenau, ond fel y dywedais, ni allwn wneud hynny heb fanteisio'n llawn ar y pedwerydd chwyldro diwydiannol.
English: Yes. Our 'Prosperity for All' strategy and the economic action plan set out actions for all parts of Wales to contribute to and benefit from economic growth, and this includes enabling our cities to be engines of growth that benefit their wider regions.
Welsh: Ie. Mae ein strategaeth 'Ffyniant i Bawb' a'r cynllun gweithredu economaidd yn nodi ein camau gweithredu i bob rhan o Gymru allu cyfrannu at dwf economaidd ac elwa arno, ac mae hyn yn cynnwys galluogi ein dinasoedd i fod yn beiriannau twf a fydd o fudd i'w rhanbarthau ehangach.
English: Minister, already today, in answering questions, you and the Deputy Minister have spoken about regional development, some of the new organisation for that and the new drive that you wish to see behind it. Newport, Cardiff and Bristol have been talking and working together for some time in terms of development across that area. The abolition of the tolls on the Severn crossings, I think, gives new impetus in terms of the possibility and the potential, and at the same time we know that there is critical mass across the area in terms of people, businesses, organisations right across the sectors. So, given that potential, given those advantages and the new structures, the new drive that Welsh Government seeks, the role of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, could you tell me how that area of Wales will feature in the early action that you expect to see?
Welsh: Weinidog, eisoes heddiw, wrth ateb cwestiynau, rydych chi a'r Dirprwy Weinidog wedi sôn am ddatblygiad rhanbarthol, rhai o'r trefniadau newydd ar gyfer hynny a'r ysgogiad newydd yr hoffech ei weld y tu ôl iddo. Mae Casnewydd, Caerdydd a Bryste wedi bod yn siarad ac yn cydweithio ers cryn dipyn o ran datblygiadau ar draws yr ardal honno. Credaf fod diddymu'r tollau ar bontydd Hafren yn rhoi hwb newydd o ran y posibiliadau a'r potensial, ac ar yr un pryd gwyddom fod màs critigol ar draws yr ardal o ran pobl, busnesau, sefydliadau ar draws y sectorau. Felly, o ystyried y potensial hwnnw, o ystyried y manteision hynny a'r strwythurau newydd, yr ysgogiad newydd y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn ei geisio, rôl y Sefydliad ar gyfer Cydweithrediad a Datblygiad Economaidd, a allech ddweud wrthyf sut y bydd yr ardal honno o Gymru yn ymddangos yn y camau cynnar rydych yn disgwyl eu gweld?
English: Minister, I hope you and your very promising deputy have had a chance to read the Conservative group's strategy on liveable cities. Indeed, if you and your wider team want us to run a seminar for you, we'd be delighted to inform you of our thoughts. I think one thing that we were struck by is that some cities around the UK have really been key for economic development in their regions and nations. Sheffield, Manchester, Birmingham and Edinburgh clearly have had this at the heart of their development, and I think now, with the Cardiff and Swansea city deals, there's a real chance that we can start to think this way - that our cities have to do more than just what they do for their immediate populations. They belong to the regions and, in fact, the whole nation of Wales. And, in driving greater economic ambition, they really have a role that cannot be played by any other economic actor at the moment, and we must see them as a great resource, and they've all got great potential as well.
Welsh: Weinidog, rwy'n gobeithio eich bod chi a'ch dirprwy addawol iawn wedi cael cyfle i ddarllen strategaeth y grŵp Ceidwadol ar ddinasoedd byw. Yn wir, os ydych chi a'ch tîm ehangach eisiau inni gynnal seminar ar eich cyfer, byddem yn falch iawn o roi ein syniadau i chi. Credaf mai un peth a'n trawodd oedd bod rhai dinasoedd o gwmpas y DU wedi bod yn wirioneddol allweddol i ddatblygiad economaidd yn eu rhanbarthau a'u gwledydd. Mae'n amlwg fod Sheffield, Manceinion, Birmingham a Chaeredin wedi gwneud hyn yn ganolog i'w datblygu, ac yn awr, gyda bargeinion dinesig Caerdydd ac Abertawe, rwy'n credu bod cyfle gwirioneddol inni allu dechrau meddwl yn y ffordd hon - fod yn rhaid i'n dinasoedd wneud mwy na'r hyn a wnânt ar gyfer eu poblogaethau uniongyrchol yn unig. Maent yn perthyn i'r rhanbarthau ac yn wir, i Gymru gyfan. A thrwy hybu mwy o uchelgais economaidd, mae ganddynt rôl na all unrhyw weithredydd economaidd arall ei chwarae ar hyn o bryd, a rhaid inni eu gweld fel adnodd gwych, ac mae gan bob un ohonynt botensial mawr yn ogystal.
English: Well, I'd agree very much with David Melding. His assessment is absolutely right. I'd also add that, alongside cities, the importance of satellite towns cannot be understated. It's absolutely vital that, just as we support cities in developing strong identities, it's also important that we encourage our satellite towns to better link with the cities that they are dependent on, but also to ensure that they carve out distinct identities, not just for the people that they serve but also for the businesses that operate there. I've been struck often by the success of - and I know the Member mentioned a number of cities; I've been struck by the success of Manchester in this regard, the way that the centre of Manchester has grown so rapidly since the 1980s, based on a number of factors. But, at the same time, satellite areas and satellite towns around Manchester and the greater Manchester region have also begun to thrive without losing their own distinct identities. So, I see the development of cities as being very significant indeed, but I also see cities as serving the growth and the development of the satellite towns and rural areas in the hinterland that are so dependent on the growth that often takes place at a faster rate within the centre of cities.
Welsh: Wel, buaswn yn cytuno'n gryf â David Melding. Mae ei asesiad yn llygad ei le. Buaswn yn ychwanegu hefyd, ochr yn ochr â dinasoedd, na ellir gorbwysleisio pwysigrwydd trefi lloeren. Yn yr un modd ag y cynorthwywn ddinasoedd i ddatblygu hunaniaeth gref, mae hefyd yn bwysig ein bod yn annog ein trefi lloeren i gysylltu'n well â dinasoedd y maent yn ddibynnol arnynt, ond sicrhau hefyd eu bod yn creu hunaniaeth unigryw, nid yn unig ar gyfer y bobl y maent yn eu gwasanaethu ond ar gyfer y busnesau sy'n gweithredu yno hefyd. Cefais fy nharo'n aml gan lwyddiant - a gwn fod yr Aelod wedi crybwyll nifer o ddinasoedd; cefais fy nharo gan lwyddiant Manceinion yn hyn o beth, y ffordd y mae canol Manceinion wedi tyfu mor gyflym ers y 1980au, yn seiliedig ar nifer o ffactorau. Ond ar yr un pryd, mae ardaloedd lloeren a threfi lloeren o gwmpas Manceinion a rhanbarth Manceinion fwyaf hefyd wedi dechrau ffynnu heb golli eu hunaniaeth unigryw eu hunain. Felly, gwelaf ddatblygiad dinasoedd fel rhywbeth arwyddocaol iawn, ond gwelaf ddinasoedd hefyd fel pethau sy'n gwasanaethu twf a datblygiad trefi lloeren ac ardaloedd gwledig yn y gefnwlad sydd mor ddibynnol ar y twf sy'n aml yn digwydd yn gyflymach ynghanol dinasoedd.
English: We work very closely with local authorities right across Wales on a number of fronts to further improve local bus services, and we continue to provide substantial funding to enable them to provide local bus services.
Welsh: Rydym yn gweithio'n agos iawn gydag awdurdodau lleol ar draws Cymru ar nifer o feysydd i wella gwasanaethau bws lleol ymhellach, ac rydym yn parhau i ddarparu cyllid sylweddol er mwyn iddynt allu darparu gwasanaethau bws lleol.
English: Thank you for that answer, Minister. The Afan valley is actually serviced by two local authorities in one sense, because buses come from Maesteg and Bridgend. The focus, mainly, is from Port Talbot up to the Afan valley. Now, the communities of the Afan valley are some of the most disadvantaged communities that we have in Wales and they don't have a lot of cars. The percentage of car ownership is quite low in comparison to many other areas; they rely upon bus services. Now, unfortunately, the bus service from Port Talbot up to the Afan valley one hour goes to Glyncorrwg, the second hour, it goes to Blaengwynfi and alternates. So, for two hours, you have to wait for a bus to come up. Now, for people who haven't got transport and who have to access services, whether it's employment, or maybe elderly people who need to go to hospital services 10 miles down the road to Neath Port Talbot Hospital, they may spend all day travelling and getting there to get back in for maybe a half-an-hour appointment. Now, these are challenging times. I've written to the bus company, who seem to focus mainly on commercial activities. But will you therefore meet with Neath Port Talbot Council and Bridgend County Borough Council to look at the opportunities to support bus transportation to allow people to actually get to places on time without spending their whole life travelling?
Welsh: Diolch ichi am yr ateb hwnnw, Weinidog. Mewn gwirionedd caiff cwm Afan ei wasanaethu gan ddau awdurdod lleol ar un ystyr, oherwydd daw bysiau o Ben-y-bont ar Ogwr a Maesteg. Mae'r ffocws, yn bennaf, o Bort Talbot i fyny at gwm Afan. Nawr, cymunedau cwm Afan yw rhai o'r cymunedau mwyaf difreintiedig sydd gennym yng Nghymru, ac nid oes ganddynt lawer o geir. Mae'r ganran o bobl sy'n berchen ar gar yn eithaf isel o gymharu â llawer o ardaloedd eraill; maent yn dibynnu ar wasanaethau bws. Nawr, yn anffodus, mae'r gwasanaeth bws o Bort Talbot i fyny cwm Afan un awr yn mynd i Lyncorrwg, a'r ail awr, mae'n mynd i Flaengwynfi bob yn ail. Felly, am ddwy awr, rhaid ichi aros am fws i ddod i fyny. Nawr, i bobl heb drafnidiaeth ac sy'n gorfod cael mynediad at wasanaethau, boed yn gyflogaeth, neu efallai'n henoed sydd angen cyrraedd gwasanaethau ysbyty 10 milltir i lawr y ffordd yn Ysbyty Castell-nedd Port Talbot, gallent dreulio diwrnod cyfan yn teithio a chyrraedd yno ar gyfer apwyntiad hanner awr o bosibl. Nawr, mae'n adeg heriol. Rwyf wedi ysgrifennu at y cwmni bysiau, sydd fel petaent yn canolbwyntio'n bennaf ar weithgareddau masnachol. Ond a wnewch chi gyfarfod â Chyngor Castell-nedd Port Talbot a Chyngor Bwrdeistref Sirol Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr i edrych ar y cyfleoedd i gefnogi trafnidiaeth bws er mwyn caniatáu i bobl gyrraedd lleoedd mewn pryd heb dreulio eu bywydau cyfan yn teithio?
English: Well, of course, both the councils that David Rees mentioned are in different city regions, which are taking very different approaches to their future transport needs. So, how that would progress is really very interesting. But, in the short term, in March 20i8, you confirmed that you'd issued guidance to local authorities to commit no less than 5 per cent of their bus budget to community transport, and, of course, community transport, if it follows the regulations properly, can pick up some non-commercial routes. It's a year on now. Are you confident that councils are following that guidance?
Welsh: Wel, wrth gwrs, mae'r cynghorau a grybwyllodd David Rees mewn dinas-ranbarthau gwahanol, sydd ag ymagwedd wahanol iawn tuag at eu hanghenion trafnidiaeth yn y dyfodol. Felly, mae sut y byddai hynny'n datblygu yn ddiddorol iawn. Ond yn y tymor byr, ym mis Mawrth 2018, fe gadarnhaoch eich bod wedi cyhoeddi canllawiau i awdurdodau lleol ar gyfer ymrwymo 5 y cant neu ragor o'u cyllideb bysiau i gludiant cymunedol, ac wrth gwrs, gall cludiant cymunedol, os yw'n dilyn y rheoliadau priodol, weithredu rhai o'r llwybrau anfasnachol. Mae blwyddyn wedi mynd heibio. A ydych yn hyderus fod cynghorau'n dilyn y canllawiau hynny?
English: I am not yet confident that the guidance is being fully followed by all, and the extent of local authorities' commitment to maintain their own budgets for bus subsidies will therefore increasingly be reflected in my decisions about each authority's bus services support grant allocation, the reason being that I want to make sure that we use taxpayers' money that comes to Welsh Government to incentivise enhanced services in our communities, and we will only do that within the current arrangements on a short-term basis, by ensuring that local authorities contribute to the bus services support grant funding. Longer term, of course, through the reforms, as we use more of the tools that are currently available, but as we develop more tools and levers, I think we will be able to deploy a service across Wales that is not just more effective for meeting passenger needs, but one that is also more sustainable in terms of costs.
Welsh: Nid wyf yn hyderus hyd yma fod y canllawiau'n cael eu dilyn yn llawn gan bawb, a bydd graddau ymrwymiad awdurdodau lleol i gynnal eu cyllidebau eu hunain ar gyfer cymorthdaliadau bysiau wedi'u hadlewyrchu fwyfwy yn fy mhenderfyniadau ynglŷn â dyfarniad grant cynnal gwasanaethau bysiau pob awdurdod, a'r rheswm am hynny yw fy mod eisiau gwneud yn siŵr ein bod yn defnyddio arian trethdalwyr sy'n dod i Lywodraeth Cymru er mwyn ysgogi gwasanaethau gwell yn ein cymunedau, ac ni fyddwn ond yn gwneud hynny o fewn y trefniadau presennol ar sail fyrdymor, drwy sicrhau bod awdurdodau lleol yn cyfrannu at gyllid y grant cynnal gwasanaethau bysiau. Yn fwy hirdymor, wrth gwrs, drwy'r diwygiadau, wrth inni ddefnyddio mwy o'r adnoddau sydd ar gael ar hyn o bryd, ond wrth inni ddatblygu mwy o adnoddau ac ysgogiadau, credaf y byddwn yn gallu gweithredu gwasanaeth ledled Cymru sydd nid yn unig yn fwy effeithiol ar gyfer ateb anghenion teithwyr, ond sydd hefyd yn fwy cynaliadwy o ran costau.
English: My view is that the system is currently broken. We have a perverse situation where councils are cutting key services like libraries and community centres in the Afan valley, with four more proposed for Neath Port Talbot ongoing, expecting people from the Afan valley, then, to travel further to get to those services, but then they can't get to those services, because the buses are simply not there. You mention the White Paper. What, within that White Paper, because a lot of people may not read that - ? What are the headlines from that so that people in our area can be assured that, when those changes come about, either through changing the law, whether it's a not-for-profit company like Transport for Wales that takes over the regulation, they will have more frequent buses in their valley communities, so that they can continue to live there and that they don't become ghost towns with people moving away from those areas because the services are simply not there anymore?
Welsh: Mae'r system wedi torri ar hyn o bryd yn fy marn i. Mae gennym sefyllfa anffodus lle y mae cynghorau'n cwtogi gwasanaethau allweddol fel llyfrgelloedd a chanolfannau cymunedol yng nghwm Afan, gyda phedwar arall ar y gweill ar gyfer Castell-nedd Port Talbot, a disgwyl i bobl o gwm Afan, wedyn, deithio ymhellach i gael y gwasanaethau hynny, ond ni allant gyrraedd y gwasanaethau hynny am nad oes bysiau'n mynd yno. Rydych yn sôn am y Papur Gwyn. Beth, o fewn y Papur Gwyn hwnnw, oherwydd efallai y bydd llawer o bobl nad ydynt yn ei ddarllen - ? Beth yw'r prif benawdau ynddo fel y gellir sicrhau pobl yn ein hardal ni, pan fydd y newidiadau hynny'n digwydd, naill ai drwy newid y gyfraith, pa un a fydd y gwaith rheoleiddio'n trosglwyddo i gwmni di-elw fel Trafnidiaeth Cymru, y bydd ganddynt fysiau mwy mynych yn eu cymunedau yn y cwm, fel y gallant barhau i fyw yno ac na fyddant yn troi'n drefi anghyfannedd gyda phobl yn symud o'r ardaloedd hyn am nad oes gwasanaethau yno mwyach?
English: I think the Member makes a really important point. The system is broken, and that's why the reforms that we've outlined in the White Paper are so necessary. In brief - and, again, I would invite all Members to read the White Paper and to submit observations - the proposals include franchising powers, they include the power to be able create municipal bus companies, they include proposals for greater integration of different forms of transport, they include the creation of joint transport authorities to deliver and plan bus services on a regional basis, and they include proposals for Transport for Wales to take a more active role in delivering this vital service for the people of Wales. Alongside this, there are potential changes that can be made in terms of the fare regime for passengers to make it more affordable, and more transparent as well, to integrate tickets. It's still a shocking fact that, in some parts of Wales, 20 per cent of unemployed young people can't afford, or can't get, a bus service to their interviews, never mind to jobs. They are locked out of employment because the system is broken, and that's why I believe that the proposals in the White Paper - that's why I believe that radical reform is so vital.
Welsh: Rwy'n credu bod yr Aelod yn gwneud pwynt pwysig iawn. Mae'r system wedi torri, a dyna pam y mae cymaint o angen y diwygiadau a nodir gennym yn y Papur Gwyn. Yn gryno - ac unwaith eto, rwyf am wahodd pob Aelod i ddarllen y Papur Gwyn ac i gyflwyno sylwadau - mae'r cynigion yn cynnwys pwerau i ddyfarnu masnachfreintiau, maent yn cynnwys pŵer i allu creu cwmnïau bysiau trefol, maent yn cynnwys cynigion ar gyfer mwy o integreiddio gwahanol fathau o drafnidiaeth, maent yn cynnwys creu awdurdodau trafnidiaeth ar y cyd i ddarparu a chynllunio gwasanaethau bysiau ar sail ranbarthol, ac maent yn cynnwys cynigion i Trafnidiaeth Cymru gymryd rhan fwy gweithredol yn darparu'r gwasanaeth hanfodol hwn ar gyfer pobl Cymru. Ochr yn ochr â hyn, ceir newidiadau posibl y gellir eu gwneud o ran y system docynnau i deithwyr i'w gwneud yn fwy fforddiadwy, ac yn fwy tryloyw yn ogystal, i integreiddio tocynnau. Mae'n dal yn ffaith frawychus nad yw 20 y cant o bobl ifanc ddi-waith mewn rhai rhannau o Gymru yn gallu fforddio, neu'n gallu cael gwasanaeth bws i'w cyfweliadau, heb sôn am i swyddi. Cânt eu cloi allan o gyflogaeth am fod y system wedi torri, a dyna pam rwy'n credu bod y cynigion yn y Papur Gwyn - dyna pam y credaf fod diwygio radical mor hanfodol.
English: Thank you. The economic action plan sets out how we'll build a 'something for something' relationship with businesses of all sizes, based upon businesses sharing our values by contributing to a social cause. We're going to do this through the economic contract, through the calls to action, and through the economy futures fund, and, of course, that social cause is to drive inclusive growth with fair work for all.
Welsh: Diolch. Mae'r cynllun gweithredu economaidd yn nodi sut y byddwn yn adeiladu perthynas 'rhywbeth am rywbeth' gyda busnesau o bob maint, yn seiliedig ar fusnesau'n rhannu ein gwerthoedd drwy gyfrannu at achos cymdeithasol. Rydym yn mynd i wneud hyn drwy'r contract economaidd, drwy'r galwadau i weithredu, a thrwy gronfa dyfodol yr economi, ac wrth gwrs, yr achos cymdeithasol hwnnw yw hybu twf cynhwysol gyda gwaith teg i bawb.
English: I was interested also in his answer earlier, talking about what - the discussion about what we mean by anchor companies. That's an interesting development. Last week, I met with Admiral Group, Wales's only FTSE 100-listed company. They employ a substantial number of constituents in Caerphilly and nearly 8,000 staff across three sites in Wales. We discussed how that company had strategic links with the Welsh Government, and, from my perspective through the discussion, those strategic links seem to be fairly limited. One of the key things that a Government can help develop and grow is skills, particularly the skill needs of that organisation. They discussed some of their skill requirements and the fact that they've got the Admiral academy, which looks at professional and personal development of staff. I don't feel that there's enough of a strategic link between that and our education sector in Wales. Bearing in mind the Government's cross-portfolio approach to strategy, would the Minister commit to having high-level discussions with Admiral to explore how those strategic skill development links can be developed by the Government?
Welsh: Roedd gennyf ddiddordeb hefyd yn ei ateb yn gynharach, yn sôn am - y drafodaeth ynglŷn â'r hyn a olygwn wrth gwmnïau angori. Mae hwnnw'n ddatblygiad diddorol. Yr wythnos diwethaf, cyfarfûm ag Admiral Group, yr unig gwmni yng Nghymru ar restr FTSE 100. Maent yn cyflogi nifer sylweddol o etholwyr yng Nghaerffili a bron 8,000 o staff ar dri safle yng Nghymru. Buom yn trafod sut oedd gan y cwmni gysylltiadau strategol gyda Llywodraeth Cymru, ac o'r hyn a welais o'r drafodaeth, mae'r cysylltiadau strategol hynny i'w gweld yn weddol gyfyngedig. Un o'r pethau allweddol y gall Llywodraeth helpu i'w datblygu a'u tyfu yw sgiliau, yn enwedig anghenion sgiliau'r sefydliad hwnnw. Buont yn trafod rhai o'u gofynion sgiliau a'r ffaith bod ganddynt academi Admiral, sy'n edrych ar ddatblygiad proffesiynol a phersonol staff. Nid wyf yn teimlo bod digon o gyswllt strategol rhwng hynny a'n sector addysg yng Nghymru. O gofio ymagwedd draws-bortffolio'r Llywodraeth tuag at strategaeth, a wnaiff y Gweinidog ymrwymo i gael trafodaethau lefel uchel gydag Admiral i archwilio sut y gall y Llywodraeth ddatblygu'r cysylltiadau datblygu sgiliau strategol hynny?
