English: Can I thank the Cabinet Secretary for bringing this very important statement forward today and praise him for the work he's done so far on this issue? I also want to thank the Cabinet Secretary for coming to my constituency last week to attend a jobs and prosperity summit, which I held at Deeside Sixth. It was a great opportunity to discuss with the local business community and others some of the issues that are outlined in this plan. And it's also great to see the Airbus Beluga on front of the brochure there as well. I want to focus part of my time on the section of the plan relating to the calls to action, particularly in automation and digitalisation. The Cabinet Secretary will know that I recently referred to the fact that Alyn and Deeside was highlighted as the area with the highest percentage of jobs at risk of automation, with 36 per cent. The impact of automation on work is most prominent in manufacturing, but is increasingly affecting traditional white collar services jobs. I wonder if the Cabinet Secretary could say a little bit more about some of the plans to deal with automation and some of the investments that the Government could be making to deal with the challenges and opportunities of automation - things like investing in professional development and skills, but also some more radical, long-term thinking and developments, perhaps, like the universal basic income, using our future tax powers and looking at a type of Government jobs guarantee. On digitalisation, I wondered whether the Cabinet Secretary could outline how he is working with the leader of the house, the business community and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport at a UK Government level to explore the concept of gigabit hubs; for example, Flintshire and Wrexham could link together to be a gigabit hub, working closely with border cities such as Chester. Through the design and deployment of this type of futureproof full-fibre infrastructure, we could help bring the benefits of unlimited bandwidth and gigabit-speed connectivity to entire communities. Finally, if I have enough time, I'd like to touch briefly on regional economic development. He will know, as a fellow Member from north Wales, that people do sometimes feel isolated, and there is a feeling at some times of a north-south divide - I'm sure the same could be said for many other parts across Wales. We've got fantastic developments already taking place in north Wales, just like the advanced manufacturing research institute in my own area, but will he agree with me that the economic action plan gives us a real opportunity to realise even further the potential of north Wales by embracing effective regional collaboration, but also using the levers, as outlined in this action plan, to work with our neighbours in the north-west of England? Thank you.
Welsh: A gaf i ddiolch i Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet am gyflwyno'r datganiad pwysig iawn hwn heddiw a'i ganmol am y gwaith y mae wedi ei wneud hyd yma ar y mater hwn? Hoffwn hefyd ddiolch i Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet am ddod i fy etholaeth i yr wythnos diwethaf i uwchgynhadledd swyddi a ffyniant, a gynhaliais yng nghanolfan chweched Glannau Dyfrdwy. Roedd yn gyfle gwych i drafod gyda'r gymuned fusnes leol ac eraill rai o'r materion a amlinellir yn y cynllun hwn. Ac mae hefyd yn wych gweld Airbus Beluga ar flaen y llyfryn. Rwyf eisiau canolbwyntio rhan o'm hamser ar yr adran o'r cynllun sy'n ymwneud â'r galwadau i weithredu, yn enwedig o ran awtomatiaeth a digideiddio. Bydd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet yn gwybod y cyfeiriais yn ddiweddar at y ffaith bod Alun a Glannau Dyfrdwy wedi cael ei hadnabod fel yr ardal gyda'r ganran uchaf o swyddi mewn perygl o awtomeiddio, gyda 36 y cant. Mae effaith awtomatiaeth ar waith yn fwyaf amlwg ym maes gweithgynhyrchu, ond yn effeithio'n gynyddol ar swyddi gwasanaethau coler wen traddodiadol. Tybed a allai Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet ddweud ychydig mwy am rai o'r cynlluniau i ymdrin ag awtomatiaeth a rhai o'r buddsoddiadau y gallai'r Llywodraeth eu gwneud i ymdrin â heriau a chyfleoedd awtomatiaeth - pethau fel buddsoddi mewn datblygiad proffesiynol a sgiliau, ond hefyd rai syniadau mwy radical, hirdymor a datblygiadau, efallai, fel incwm sylfaenol cyffredinol, gan ddefnyddio ein pwerau treth yn y dyfodol ac edrych ar fath o warant swyddi gan y Llywodraeth. Ynglŷn â digideiddio, tybed a allai Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet amlinellu sut mae'n gweithio gydag arweinydd y tŷ, y gymuned fusnes a'r Adran Ddigidol, Diwylliant, y Cyfryngau a Chwaraeon yn Llywodraeth y DU i archwilio'r cysyniad o ganolfannau gigabeit; er enghraifft, gallai sir y Fflint a Wrecsam ddod ynghyd i fod yn ganolfan gigabeit, yn gweithio'n agos gyda dinasoedd y ffin fel Caer. Drwy gynllunio a defnyddio'r math hwn o seilwaith ffibr cyflawn sy'n paratoi ar gyfer y dyfodol, gallem helpu i ddod â manteision cysylltedd lled band a chyflymder gigabeit diderfyn i gymunedau cyfan. Yn olaf, os oes gennyf ddigon o amser, hoffwn gyfeirio'n fyr at ddatblygu economaidd rhanbarthol. Bydd yn gwybod, ag yntau'n gyd-aelod o'r gogledd, fod pobl weithiau yn teimlo'n ynysig, ac weithiau ceir teimlad o raniad rhwng y gogledd a'r de - rwy'n siŵr y gellid dweud yr un peth am lawer o rannau eraill ledled Cymru. Mae gennym ni ddatblygiadau gwych eisoes yn digwydd yn y gogledd, fel y sefydliad ymchwil gweithgynhyrchu uwch yn fy ardal i fy hun. Ond a yw'n cytuno â mi bod y cynllun gweithredu economaidd yn gyfle gwirioneddol i wireddu potensial y gogledd hyd yn oed ymhellach gan gofleidio'r cydweithio rhanbarthol effeithiol, ond hefyd gan ddefnyddio'r dulliau, fel yr amlinellir yn y cynllun gweithredu hwn, i weithio gyda'n cymdogion yng ngogledd-orllewin Lloegr? Diolch.
