English: Well, in the spirit of consensus in which I started my speech, I welcome Rhianon Passmore into my big tent, if that's not too frightening and gruesome a prospect. But, yes, of course I acknowledge that the Government has applied several bits of sticking plaster to the existing system, but what we want is not sticking-plaster solutions. We want, for the longer term, at any rate, a solution that is going to deal with the fundamental flaws of this property-based system, which has long outlived its usefulness. The economy is very different from what it was in the early seventeenth century, and we have other forms of taxation that are related to ability to pay, and that is the road down which we should go if we want the Welsh economy to be revived. I keep saying this - that we're at the bottom of the income scale for the nations and regions of the United Kingdom. If we want to change that, we've got to have more radical solutions here in Wales. Wales has always been a radical country, and what I find is so depressing and demoralising about this Labour Government is its utter lack of radicalism. Adam Price talked about its modesty. I remember that Margot Asquith said of her husband, Herbert Asquith, who was the Liberal Prime Minister a hundred years ago, his modesty amounts to deformity' and I think that is true of this Labour Government as well. We need to combine our resources, I think, and try to arrive at a solution to this problem, which isn't going to perhaps please everybody, but everybody is agreed upon the flaws of the present system, I'm sure even Labour Members - although I'm disappointed that not a single one of them has participated in this debate this afternoon. Everybody agrees that the system is flawed and everybody agrees on what the nature of those flaws are. But, nevertheless, nobody seems to think that there is a solution; it's all too difficult. Well, Governments very often create difficulties. They're not so good at solving them, but I do believe that, with a will, and goodwill, we can achieve this. So, I'm grateful to everybody who has taken part in this debate today and the spirit in which they've made their speeches - Nick Ramsay, Adam Price and Michelle Brown - and there were even parts of the leader of the house's speech with which I could agree. But my principal point is that, whatever good the Government has done, we do need to have a much more radical and long-term approach, and I don't see that coming from this consultation document that is currently ongoing. So, I commend our motion to the house.
Welsh: Wel, yn yr ysbryd consensws y dechreuais fy araith, rwy'n croesawu Rhianon Passmore i mewn i fy mhabell fawr, os nad yw honno'n olygfa rhy frawychus ac erchyll. Ond wrth gwrs, rwy'n cydnabod bod y Llywodraeth wedi gosod sawl plastr ar y system bresennol, ond nid ydym eisiau atebion sydd ond yn gosod plastr. Rydym eisiau ateb, ar gyfer y tymor hwy yn bendant, sy'n mynd i'r afael â diffygion sylfaenol y system hon sy'n seiliedig ar eiddo ac sydd wedi hen golli ei defnyddioldeb. Mae'r economi'n wahanol iawn i'r hyn ydoedd ar ddechrau'r ail ganrif ar bymtheg, ac mae gennym fathau eraill o drethi sy'n gysylltiedig â'r gallu i dalu, ac ar hyd y llwybr hwnnw y dylem fynd os ydym am adfywio economi Cymru. Rwy'n dweud hyn o hyd - ein bod ar waelod y raddfa incwm yng ngwledydd a rhanbarthau'r Deyrnas Unedig. Os ydym am newid hynny, mae'n rhaid i ni gael atebion mwy radical yma yng Nghymru. Mae Cymru bob amser wedi bod yn wlad radical. Yr hyn sydd mor ddigalon a thorcalonnus i mi ynglŷn â'r Llywodraeth Lafur hon yw ei diffyg radicaliaeth. Siaradodd Adam Price am ei chymedroldeb. Rwy'n cofio bod Margot Asquith wedi dweud am ei gŵr, Herbert Asquith, a oedd yn Brif Weinidog Rhyddfrydol gan mlynedd yn ôl, mae ei gymedroldeb cystal ag anffurfiad a chredaf fod hynny'n wir am y Llywodraeth Lafur hon hefyd. Mae angen i ni gyfuno ein hadnoddau, rwy'n meddwl, a cheisio canfod ateb i'r broblem hon, nad yw'n mynd i blesio pawb efallai, ond mae pawb yn cytuno ynglŷn â diffygion y system bresennol. Rwy'n siŵr y bydd Aelodau Llafur hyd yn oed - er fy mod yn siomedig nad oes yr un ohonynt wedi cymryd rhan yn y ddadl hon y prynhawn yma. Mae pawb yn cytuno bod y system yn ddiffygiol ac mae pawb yn cytuno ynghylch natur y diffygion hynny. Ond serch hynny, nid oes neb i'w weld yn meddwl bod yna ateb; mae'r cyfan yn rhy anodd. Wel, mae Llywodraethau'n aml iawn yn creu anawsterau. Nid ydynt cystal am eu datrys, ond gydag ewyllys, ac ewyllys da, rwy'n credu y gallwn gyflawni hyn. Felly rwy'n ddiolchgar i bawb sydd wedi cymryd rhan yn y ddadl hon heddiw ac ysbryd eu hareithiau - Nick Ramsay, Adam Price a Michelle Brown - ac roedd rhannau o araith arweinydd y tŷ hyd yn oed y gallwn gytuno â hwy. Ond fy mhrif bwynt yw, pa dda bynnag y mae'r Llywodraeth wedi ei wneud, mae'n rhaid inni gael dull o weithredu sy'n llawer mwy radical a hirdymor, ac nid wyf yn gweld hynny'n dod o'r ddogfen ymgynghori hon sydd ar y gweill. Felly, cymeradwyaf ein cynnig i'r tŷ.
