English: Thank you, Llywydd. I'll try to run through some of the comments in the debate before concluding. I think it's fair to say that the debate's highlighted very clearly how people feel both about the current UK Government and the reality of what is happening, not just from the comments made by the Plaid Cymru economy spokesperson about the challenges over the prioritisation criteria and the lack of transparency, and you heard those from Alun Davies, Hefin David, Carolyn Thomas and others. Unfortunately, that's the reality of where we are. We can't honestly tell you about all of the criteria because they don't make sense and on the data we understand, it still is so hard to understand. You'll have heard Huw Irranca-Davies from a sedentary position confirming that, of course, Bridgend as well as Caerphilly as well as Wrexham as well as Gwynedd are all excluded. And when you look at the objective data, that's an absurd position. It's absolutely absurd for Richmond to be included, whereas, actually, the Ogmore valley is excluded. Now, that's just an absurd place to be. There is a challenge for all of us about the seriousness with which we approach our responsibilities. I do think that, when you look at not just the points about transparency and structure that Hefin David made, but it was important to hear what Carolyn Thomas had to say about the very short notice that local authorities have had to turn around bids and the real lack of coherence. And I'm afraid that the undoubted truth is that this approach does threaten the union. I'm proud to say that I believe in the future of the union and in Wales's part within it in a successful United Kingdom, but if we're going to have the reappearance of centralisation to ride roughshod over this institution and the Welsh Government that the people of Wales have chosen, then you will see further challenges about the future of the union. And people who believe in the union, whether on the right or the left, need to reflect seriously on the course on which you're headed. I would say that the comments made by Sam Rowlands and Peter Fox - . Look, I've worked with Sam and Peter at various points in time in their previous roles as local authority leaders and I have a good amount of respect for them even though I disagree with them. But today, I'm afraid that you've forgotten the practical impacts of the funding cuts - the threats to Business Wales, the development bank, the apprenticeship programme, research and development. That's the reality of what will happen with the current atomised approach of the UK Government, and you can't bravely attempt to say that an exercise in Whitehall centralisation is actually great news, because there's a deliberate attempt to drive a wedge between the Welsh Government and local government here. And I just don't think that that is going to wash. And so, Conservative Members really should reflect on their priorities. Last week, in this Chamber, you criticised constitutional arguments and said that you wanted to focus on the powers of this Senedd and the Welsh Government. You called for other parties to respect the judgment of the people of Wales on 6 May, and yet, here you are championing a deliberate attempt to undermine that judgment, to get around the judgment of the people of Wales. The current UK Government approach guarantees an argument, as it is transparently seen to usurp powers that the people of Wales voted for in two different referenda as well as multiple elections. Who can credibly come to this place in this Senedd and argue, as an elected Member, that powers and responsibility should be removed from this place? It would be extraordinary if the Welsh Conservatives chose to continue supporting a significant budget cut. It simply won't wash to claim that the budget cut that has already been delivered within this year by the UK Government is really somehow an increase. And the reality-defying approach of the Welsh Conservatives does, on the one hand, show real loyalty to Ministers in Whitehall but not to Wales. Our approach in Wales is a coherent regional approach with the buy-in of stakeholders and yes, with devolution to regions of Wales outside Cardiff Bay. And as Sam Rowlands and Peter Fox know, local government has a key leadership role within the new corporate joint committees. This Welsh Government has a renewed and strong mandate for devolution to govern on behalf of the people of Wales. Bypassing these elected institutions is not just an insult to the people of Wales, it would clearly result in worse outcomes. The First Minister has made his willingness to collaborate on future funding clear to the UK Prime Minister. I wrote early last month to the Secretary and Minister of State leading on these funds to request a meeting as soon as possible to discuss how we can make the funds a success in Wales and to use them as a demonstration of resetting inter-governmental relations in order to deliver practical and effective change. I'm yet to have a response. If the UK Government is serious about future prosperity here, in and for Wales, it must provide Wales with a fair share of UK spending and work with the Welsh Government and this Senedd, not in a tokenistic way, but as a genuine partner in decision making and delivery, and that simply isn't happening right now. There cannot be an attempt to return things to an outdated way of working, when Whitehall Ministers supposedly always knew best. This place has the mandate, and should continue to have the responsibility to act in these matters. I ask Members to support the Government motion and the Plaid Cymru amendment.
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd. Fe wnaf i geisio rhedeg trwy rai o'r sylwadau yn y ddadl cyn cloi. Rwy'n credu ei bod yn deg dweud bod y ddadl wedi tynnu sylw yn glir iawn at sut y mae pobl yn teimlo am Lywodraeth bresennol y DU a realiti yr hyn sy'n digwydd, nid yn unig o'r sylwadau a wnaed gan lefarydd Plaid Cymru ar yr economi am yr heriau sy'n ymwneud â'r meini prawf blaenoriaethu a'r diffyg tryloywder, a chlywsoch chi'r rheini gan Alun Davies, Hefin David, Carolyn Thomas ac eraill. Yn anffodus, dyna realiti y sefyllfa yr ydym ni ynddi. Ni allwn ni ddweud wrthych yn onest am yr holl feini prawf gan nad ydyn nhw'n gwneud synnwyr ac o ran y data yr ydym ni'n eu deall, mae'n dal i fod mor anodd ei deall. Byddwch chi wedi clywed Huw Irranca-Davies ar ei eistedd yn cadarnhau bod Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr, yn ogystal â Chaerffili, yn ogystal â Wrecsam, yn ogystal â Gwynedd i gyd wedi eu heithrio. Ac wrth i chi edrych ar y data gwrthrychol, mae hynny'n sefyllfa hurt. Mae'n gwbl hurt i Richmond gael ei gynnwys, tra bod cwm Ogwr, mewn gwirionedd, wedi ei eithrio. Nawr, mae hynny yn sefyllfa hurt i fod ynddi. Mae her i bob un ohonom ni ynglŷn â pha mor ddifrifol yr ydym ni'n ymdrin â'n cyfrifoldebau. Rwyf i yn credu, wrth i chi edrych nid yn unig ar y pwyntiau ynglŷn â thryloywder a strwythur a wnaeth Hefin David, ond roedd yn bwysig clywed yr hyn a ddywedodd Carolyn Thomas am y rhybudd byr iawn a gafodd yr awdurdodau lleol i gyflwyno ceisiadau a'r diffyg cydlyniad gwirioneddol. Ac mae arnaf ofn mai'r gwir diamheuol yw bod y dull hwn yn bygwth yr undeb. Rwy'n falch o ddweud fy mod i'n credu yn nyfodol yr undeb ac yn rhan Cymru oddi mewn iddo mewn Teyrnas Unedig lwyddiannus, ond bydd ailymddangosiad canoli yn dod i sathru dros y sefydliad hwn a'r Llywodraeth Cymru y mae pobl Cymru wedi eu dewis, yna fe welwch chi ragor o heriau i ddyfodol yr undeb. Ac mae angen i bobl sy'n credu yn yr undeb, boed ar y dde neu'r chwith, fyfyrio o ddifrif ar y llwybr yr ydych chi arno. Byddwn i'n dweud bod y sylwadau a wnaed gan Sam Rowlands a Peter Fox - . Edrychwch, rwyf i wedi gweithio gyda Sam a Peter ar wahanol adegau yn eu swyddogaethau blaenorol fel arweinwyr awdurdodau lleol ac mae gen i barch mawr tuag atyn nhw er fy mod i'n anghytuno â nhw. Ond heddiw, mae arnaf i ofn eich bod wedi anghofio effeithiau ymarferol y toriadau i gyllid - y bygythiadau i Fusnes Cymru, y banc datblygu, y rhaglen brentisiaethau, ymchwil a datblygu. Dyna realiti yr hyn a fydd yn digwydd yn sgil ymagwedd atomedig bresennol Llywodraeth y DU, ac ni allwch ymdrechu'n ddewr i ddweud bod ymarfer canoli yn Whitehall yn newyddion gwych mewn gwirionedd, oherwydd bod ymgais fwriadol i yrru hollt rhwng Llywodraeth Cymru a llywodraeth leol yn fan hyn. Ac nid wyf i'n credu y bydd hynny yn cael ei dderbyn. Ac felly, dylai Aelodau Ceidwadol fyfyrio yn wirioneddol ar eu blaenoriaethau. Yr wythnos diwethaf, yn y Siambr hon, gwnaethoch chi feirniadu dadleuon cyfansoddiadol gan ddweud eich bod yn dymuno canolbwyntio ar bwerau'r Senedd hon a Llywodraeth Cymru. Fe wnaethoch chi alw ar bleidiau eraill i barchu barn pobl Cymru ar 6 Mai, ac eto, dyma chi yn hyrwyddo ymgais fwriadol i danseilio'r farn honno, i weithio ffordd o gwmpas barn pobl Cymru. Mae dull presennol Llywodraeth y DU yn gwarantu dadl, gan ei bod i'w gweld yn dryloyw yn ceisio meddiannu'r pwerau y pleidleisiodd pobl Cymru drostyn nhw mewn dau refferendwm gwahanol yn ogystal ag etholiadau lluosog. Pwy all ddod i'r lle hwn yn y Senedd hon yn wirioneddol a dadlau, fel Aelod etholedig, y dylid dileu pwerau a chyfrifoldeb o'r lle hwn? Byddai'n rhyfeddol pe byddai'r Ceidwadwyr Cymreig yn dewis parhau i gefnogi toriad sylweddol yn y gyllideb. Ni fydd honni bod y toriad yn y gyllideb sydd eisoes wedi ei gyflawni eleni gan Lywodraeth y DU yn gynnydd mewn gwirionedd rywsut yn cael ei dderbyn. Ac mae ymagwedd y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig sy'n groes i realiti, ar y naill law, yn dangos teyrngarwch gwirioneddol i Weinidogion yn Whitehall ond nid i Gymru. Mae ein dull gweithredu yng Nghymru yn ddull rhanbarthol cydlynol gyda chefnogaeth rhanddeiliaid ac ie, gyda datganoli i ranbarthau Cymru y tu allan i Fae Caerdydd. Ac fel y gŵyr Sam Rowlands a Peter Fox, mae gan lywodraeth leol swyddogaeth arweiniol allweddol yn y cydbwyllgorau corfforaethol newydd. Mae gan y Llywodraeth Cymru hon fandad newydd a chryf ar gyfer datganoli i lywodraethu ar ran pobl Cymru. Nid sarhad ar bobl Cymru yn unig yw osgoi'r sefydliadau etholedig hyn, byddai yn amlwg yn arwain at ganlyniadau gwaeth. Mae'r Prif Weinidog wedi gwneud ei barodrwydd i gydweithio ar gyllid yn y dyfodol yn glir i Brif Weinidog y DU. Ysgrifennais yn gynnar y mis diwethaf at yr Ysgrifennydd Gwladol a'r Gweinidog sy'n arwain ar y cronfeydd hyn i ofyn am gyfarfod cyn gynted â phosibl i drafod sut y gallwn sicrhau bod y cronfeydd yn llwyddo yng Nghymru a'u defnyddio fel arwydd o ailosod cysylltiadau rhynglywodraethol er mwyn sicrhau newid ymarferol ac effeithiol. Nid wyf i wedi cael ymateb eto. Os yw Llywodraeth y DU o ddifrif ynglŷn â ffyniant yn y dyfodol yn fan hyn, yng Nghymru a dros Gymru, mae'n rhaid iddi roi cyfran deg o wariant y DU i Gymru a gweithio gyda Llywodraeth Cymru a'r Senedd hon, nid mewn ffordd symbolaidd, ond fel partner dilys yn y broses o wneud penderfyniadau a chyflawni, ac nid yw hynny'n digwydd ar hyn o bryd. Ni all fod ymgais dychwelyd pethau i ffordd hen ffasiwn o weithio, pan oedd Gweinidogion Whitehall bob amser yn gwybod orau, neu felly byddai'n cael ei dybio. Mae gan y lle hwn y mandad, a dylai barhau i fod â'r cyfrifoldeb i weithredu yn y materion hyn. Gofynnaf i'r Aelodau gefnogi cynnig y Llywodraeth a gwelliant Plaid Cymru.
