English: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd, and thank you, Minister, for your statement this afternoon. These are, clearly, dark days for the economy as the lockdown inevitably sees the reduction in economic growth and GDP that you've outlined. So, the role of the Welsh Government in supporting business and preparing for the future at this time is, indeed, vital. With this in mind, you'll be aware that there's been great concern, over the last couple of days, at the announcement by Debenhams that it'll be forced to close all five of its stores in Wales, including flagships in Newport and Cardiff, if the Welsh Government doesn't reverse its decision to cap business rate relief. I think this is a clear warning sign. If these stores don't reopen after the pandemic, there will be significant knock-on effects for the economy. Many of my constituents rely on the Newport store - there are jobs provided there, customers are going there. Now, I understand that you are meeting with Debenhams, or you might already have had discussions with them and with their bosses. I wonder if you can update us on any discussions, and will you listen to them and review your decision to exclude shops with a rateable value over £500,000 from being able to access support? I know that you've said in the past that that policy allows you to support other businesses, but I think it's very important that larger businesses are also supported. Can I secondly ask you - you've mentioned the supplementary budget you're planning on bringing forward - how are you reprioritising Welsh Government spending at this time? Can you say a little bit more about your supplementary budget? My party have called for a full emergency budget where you will give greater transparency, a greater opportunity for scrutiny of Welsh Government's spending decisions at this time. Can I finally ask you about the implications for tax policy? You've previously said that you don't anticipate there being changes to tax rates before the next Senedd elections. Is that still the Government policy, particularly if there are changes at UK tax level later in this year? I think it's very important that the public and our constituents do have clarity on budget decisions at this time.
Welsh: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd, a diolch i chi, Gweinidog, am eich datganiad y prynhawn yma. Mae'n amlwg bod y rhain yn ddyddiau tywyll i'r economi gan ei bod yn anochel bod y cyfyngiadau symud yn achosi'r gostyngiad mewn twf economaidd a chynnyrch domestig gros a amlinellwyd gennych chi. Felly, mae'r rhan y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn ei chwarae o ran cefnogi busnesau a pharatoi ar gyfer y dyfodol ar yr adeg hon, yn wir, yn hanfodol. O gofio hyn, byddwch yn ymwybodol y bu pryder mawr, yn ystod yr ychydig ddyddiau diwethaf, ynghylch y cyhoeddiad gan Debenhams y bydd yn rhaid cau pob un o'i bump siop yng Nghymru, gan gynnwys y siopau blaenllaw yng Nghasnewydd a Chaerdydd, os na fydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn gwrthdroi ei phenderfyniad i roi uchafswm ar ryddhad ardrethi busnes. Rwy'n credu bod hwn yn arwydd clir o rybudd. Os na fydd y siopau hyn yn ailagor ar ôl y pandemig, bydd effeithiau sylweddol i'r economi o ganlyniad. Mae llawer o'm hetholwyr yn dibynnu ar siop Casnewydd - darperir swyddi yno, mae cwsmeriaid yn mynd yno. Nawr, rwy'n deall eich bod yn cwrdd â Debenhams, neu efallai eich bod eisoes wedi cael trafodaethau gyda nhw a'u penaethiaid. Tybed a allwch chi roi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf inni am unrhyw drafodaethau, ac a wnewch chi wrando arnyn nhw ac adolygu eich penderfyniad i eithrio siopau sydd â gwerth ardrethol dros £500,000 rhag gallu cael gafael ar gymorth? Gwn eich bod wedi dweud yn y gorffennol bod y polisi hwnnw yn caniatáu i chi gefnogi busnesau eraill, ond rwy'n credu ei bod hi'n bwysig iawn bod busnesau mwy yn cael eu cefnogi hefyd. Yn ail, a gaf i ofyn i chi - rydych chi wedi sôn am y gyllideb atodol rydych chi'n bwriadu ei chyflwyno - sut ydych chi'n ail-flaenoriaethu gwariant Llywodraeth Cymru ar hyn o bryd? A allwch chi ddweud ychydig mwy am eich cyllideb atodol? Mae fy mhlaid wedi galw am gyllideb frys lawn fwy tryloyw, lle bydd mwy o gyfle i graffu ar benderfyniadau gwariant Llywodraeth Cymru ar yr adeg hon. Ac yn olaf a gaf i ofyn i chi am y goblygiadau o ran polisi treth? Rydych chi wedi dweud o'r blaen nad ydych chi'n rhagweld newidiadau i gyfraddau treth cyn etholiadau nesaf y Senedd. Ai dyna yw polisi'r Llywodraeth o hyd, yn enwedig os oes newidiadau ar lefel treth y DU yn ddiweddarach eleni? Rwy'n credu ei bod yn bwysig iawn bod y cyhoedd a'n hetholwyr yn cael eglurder ar benderfyniadau cyllidebol ar yr adeg hon.
