English: I don't rule out supporting it; we'll consider the debate and take a decision. But it is more difficult to create those benefits of agglomeration in rural areas because that agglomeration needs lots of people working together in a confined space. To a degree, we have that in Cardiff, and many of my constituents in south-east Wales commute into Cardiff to often reasonably well-paying jobs, and that's something I welcome. But I think it's something Welsh Government needs to support, and this continued foot-dragging and failing to make a decision over the M4 relief road is one major disincentive and inhibitor to growth in the Cardiff city region and beyond. Similarly, I support the south Wales metro; I think that's an excellent idea. I'm looking forward to Transport for Wales and Welsh Government pushing on with that as quickly as possible. Yet, we also in south-east Wales see people who commute into Bristol and, from that perspective, the abolition of the tolls on the Severn bridges is absolutely fantastic. And we are seeing in Newport really significant growth; more than one in six of every new home in Wales is now being built in Newport. Now, many of those homes are being occupied by people who are commuting - again, to relatively well-paid jobs, often - in the Bristol region. Mike spoke about London and the south-east as more than average but, actually, Bristol, while not a region, is also significantly above the UK-wide GVA, and is again good for the IT jobs. And I think it's really important across south Wales - from Swansea to Cardiff to Newport to Bristol - that we link that together as a region far better than we do now, and that is one really important way to drive prosperity, at least for that area of Wales. Can I just turn briefly to the issue of city deals? I thought it was a fantastic event we had last week with the mid Wales growth event and I was delighted that Russell encouraged me to come to that, and congratulations to him and others involved in showcasing all those really impressive businesses from across mid and west Wales. But we're told that there are only three businesses in that region that have more than 200 employees. Ceredigion and Powys together have a far smaller population than any other region we're looking at for city deals, and I just say to Welsh Government that they need to take that into account in terms of how they work with them. We can't have a single template for how these deals work and I think those two councils need significantly more support from Welsh Government in knitting that deal together and making it work for their local area.
Welsh: Nid wyf yn diystyru ei gefnogi; byddwn yn ystyried y ddadl ac yn gwneud penderfyniad. Ond mae'n anos creu manteision cydgrynhoi mewn ardaloedd gwledig oherwydd bod y cydgrynhoad hwnnw'n galw am lawer o bobl yn gweithio gyda'i gilydd mewn lle cyfyng. Mae gennym hynny yng Nghaerdydd i ryw raddau, ac mae llawer o fy etholwyr yn ne-ddwyrain Cymru yn cymudo i Gaerdydd i swyddi sy'n talu'n eithaf da, ac mae hynny'n rhywbeth rwy'n ei groesawu. Ond credaf ei fod yn rhywbeth y mae angen i Lywodraeth Cymru ei gefnogi, ac mae parhau i lusgo traed fel hyn a methu gwneud penderfyniad ynglŷn â ffordd liniaru'r M4 yn un anghymhelliad mawr ac yn atal twf yn ninas-ranbarth Caerdydd a thu hwnt. Yn yr un modd, rwy'n cefnogi metro de Cymru; credaf fod hwnnw'n syniad rhagorol. Edrychaf ymlaen at weld Trafnidiaeth Cymru a Llywodraeth Cymru yn bwrw ymlaen â hynny cyn gynted â phosibl. Eto, rydym hefyd yn gweld pobl yn cymudo i Fryste yn ne-ddwyrain Cymru, ac o ran hynny, mae dileu'r tollau ar bontydd Hafren yn hollol wych. Ac rydym yn gweld twf gwirioneddol sylweddol yng Nghasnewydd; mae mwy nag un o bob chwe chartref newydd yng Nghymru bellach yn cael eu hadeiladu yng Nghasnewydd. Nawr, mae llawer o'r rheini'n gartrefi i bobl sy'n cymudo - unwaith eto, i swyddi sy'n talu'n gymharol dda, yn aml - yn ardal Bryste. Soniodd Mike am Lundain a de-ddwyrain Lloegr fel rhai sy'n uwch na'r cyfartaledd, ond er nad yw Bryste'n rhanbarth, mae ei gwerth ychwanegol gros gryn dipyn yn uwch na'r cyfartaledd ar gyfer y DU, ac unwaith eto mae'n dda ar gyfer y swyddi TG. Ac mae'n wirioneddol bwysig ar draws de Cymru - o Abertawe i Gaerdydd i Gasnewydd i Fryste - ein bod yn cysylltu'r ardal honno gyda'i gilydd fel rhanbarth yn well o lawer nag y gwnawn ar hyn o bryd, ac mae honno'n un ffordd bwysig iawn o hybu ffyniant, ar gyfer yr ardal honno o Gymru o leiaf. A gaf fi droi'n fyr at y bargeinion dinesig? Roeddwn yn meddwl bod digwyddiad twf canolbarth Cymru yr wythnos diwethaf yn wych ac roeddwn yn falch iawn fod Russell wedi fy annog i fynd i hwnnw, a llongyfarchiadau iddo ef ac i eraill a oedd yn rhan o'r gwaith o arddangos yr holl fusnesau trawiadol hynny o bob rhan o ganolbarth a gorllewin Cymru. Ond dywedir wrthym nad oes ond tri busnes yn y rhanbarth hwnnw â mwy na 200 o weithwyr. Mae gan Geredigion a Phowys gyda'i gilydd boblogaeth lai o lawer nag unrhyw ranbarth arall rydym yn edrych arnynt ar gyfer bargeinion dinesig, ac rwy'n dweud wrth Lywodraeth Cymru fod angen iddynt gofio hynny wrth ystyried sut i weithio gyda hwy. Ni allwn gael un templed unigol ar gyfer y modd y mae'r bargeinion hyn yn gweithio, a chredaf fod y ddau gyngor hynny angen llawer mwy o gymorth gan Lywodraeth Cymru i weu'r fargen honno gyda'i gilydd a gwneud iddi weithio ar gyfer eu hardal leol.
