English: Our final recommendation also relates to the regulatory powers in the Bill. We ask the Welsh Government to commit to providing a full and robust RIA to accompany any relevant subordinate legislation made under this Bill that bans further single-use plastic products not already covered within the scope of the legislation as drafted. Llywydd, we are grateful to the Minister and her officials for giving evidence to the committee on this significant piece of legislation. Our recommendations point to areas that need to be improved in order to ensure that this Bill is a success, and we look forward to hearing the Minister's response. Thank you.
Welsh: Mae ein hargymhelliad olaf hefyd yn ymwneud â phwerau rheoleiddiol yn y Bil. Rydym yn gofyn i Lywodraeth Cymru ymrwymo i ddarparu RIA llawn a thrylwyr i gyd-fynd ag unrhyw is-ddeddfwriaeth berthnasol sy'n cael ei gwneud o dan y Bil hwn sy'n gwahardd cynhyrchion plastig untro pellach nad ydynt wedi'u cwmpasu yn barod o fewn y ddeddfwriaeth fel y'i drafftiwyd. Lywydd, rydym yn ddiolchgar i'r Gweinidog a'i swyddogion am roi tystiolaeth i'r pwyllgor ar y darn arwyddocaol hwn o ddeddfwriaeth. Mae ein hargymhellion yn cyfeirio at feysydd y mae angen eu gwella er mwyn sicrhau bod y Bil hwn yn llwyddiant, ac rydym yn edrych ymlaen at glywed ymateb y Gweinidog. Diolch yn fawr.
English: No, Flint.
Welsh: Na, Fflint.
English: The Minister for Climate Change now to reply to the debate. Julie James.
Welsh: Y Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd nawr i ymateb i'r ddadl. Julie James.
English: Diolch, Llywydd. I very much welcome all of the comments that have been made by Members today, and the spirit in which they've been made. Given time restraints, unfortunately I just do not have time to go through all of them. As I said in my opening remarks, I don't have time to go through every recommendation, but we will write back to the committees and I will make sure that a comprehensive response on each of the recommendations and the issues raised by various Members today pertaining to the committees will come back to you for perusal.
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd. Rwy'n croesawu'r holl sylwadau sydd wedi eu gwneud gan Aelodau heddiw yn fawr, a'r ysbryd mae'r sylwadau hyn wedi'i wneud ynddo. O ystyried cyfyngiadau amser, yn anffodus nid oes gen i amser i fynd trwy bob un ohonynt. Fel y dywedais i yn fy sylwadau agoriadol, does gen i ddim amser i fynd trwy bob argymhelliad, ond byddwn ni'n ysgrifennu yn ôl at y pwyllgorau a byddaf yn gwneud yn siŵr y bydd ymateb cynhwysfawr ar bob un o'r argymhellion a'r materion a godwyd gan wahanol Aelodau heddiw yn ymwneud â'r pwyllgorau yn dod yn ôl atoch i'w hystyried.
English: The proposal is to agree the motion under item 7. Does any Member object? There are no objections. Therefore, the motion is agreed in accordance with Standing Order 12.36.
Welsh: Y cynnig felly yw i dderbyn y cynnig o dan eitem 7. A oes unrhyw Aelod yn gwrthwynebu hynny? Nac oes. Felly, mae'r cynnig yna wedi ei dderbyn yn unol â Rheol Sefydlog 12.36.
English: The proposal is to agree the motion under item 8, which is the financial resolution in relation to the Bill. Does any Member object the motion under item 8? No. That motion is also agreed.
Welsh: Y cwestiwn nesaf felly yw: a ddylid derbyn y cynnig o dan eitem 8, sef y cynnig i gytuno ar y penderfyniad ariannol mewn perthynas â'r Bil? A oes unrhyw Aelod yn gwrthwynebu y cynnig o dan eitem 8? Nac oes. Felly, mae'r cynnig yna hefyd wedi ei dderbyn.
English: That brings our business to a close. There will be no voting time.
Welsh: Dyna ddiwedd ein busnes ni am y dydd. Does dim cyfnod pleidleisio.
English: Welcome, everyone, to this meeting of the Economy, Trade and Rural Affairs Committee at the Senedd. I haven't received any apologies, but may I note for the record that Jenny Rathbone and Llyr Gruffydd, who are members of the Climate Change, Environment and Infrastructure Committee, are invited to join us today, and that's in accordance with Standing Order 17.49? I welcome you both to this session. We're really looking forward to having you in the meeting. Are there any declarations of interest that Members would like to make at all? Sam Kurtz.
Welsh: Bore da a chroeso i'r cyfarfod hwn o Bwyllgor yr Economi, Masnach a Materion Gwledig y Senedd. Dwi ddim wedi derbyn unrhyw ymddiheuriadau. Gaf i nodi ar gyfer y cofnod bod Jenny Rathbone a Llyr Gruffydd, aelodau o'r Pwyllgor Newid Hinsawdd, yr Amgylchedd a Seilwaith, yn ymuno â ni heddiw, ac fe'u gwahoddir i ymuno â ni yn unol â Rheol Sefydlog 17.49? Croeso i chi'ch dau i'r sesiwn yma. Rŷn ni'n edrych ymlaen at gael eich cwmni chi yn y sesiwn. A oes unrhyw fuddiannau yr hoffai Aelodau eu codi o gwbl? Sam Kurtz.
English: Thank you very much. Are there any other declarations of interest that Members would like to make? No.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn. Oes unrhyw fuddiannau eraill yr hoffai Aelodau eu codi? Nac oes.
English: We'll move on, therefore, to item 2 on our agenda, which is papers to note. Are there any issues that Members would like to raise from the papers? Sam Kurtz.
Welsh: Symudwn ni ymlaen, felly, at eitem 2 ar ein hagenda ni, sef, papurau i'w nodi. A oes yna unrhyw faterion yr hoffai Aelodau eu codi o'r papurau yma o gwbl? Sam Kurtz.
English: Thanks, Chair. Have we had any response from the Minister to item 2.4, which is a letter that we wrote?
Welsh: Diolch, Cadeirydd. Ydyn ni wedi cael unrhyw ymateb gan y Gweinidog i eitem 2.4, y llythyr a ysgrifennom ni?
English: No, we haven't, not as of yet. Are there any other declarations of interest? No.
Welsh: Nac ydyn, dim ar hyn o bryd. Oes unrhyw faterion eraill o gwbl? Nac oes.
English: We'll move on, therefore, to item 3 on the agenda, which is an evidence session. This is the second evidence session for the committee considering the general principles of the Agriculture (Wales) Bill. We're hearing today from the NFU and the Farmers Union of Wales. I note that Dr Hazel Wright is taking part virtually. May I welcome the witnesses to this session? Before we move straight to questions, can I perhaps ask them to introduce themselves for the record? Perhaps I can start with Dr Hazel Wright.
Welsh: Symudwn ni ymlaen, felly, at eitem 3 ar ein hagenda ni, sef, sesiwn dystiolaeth. Dyma ail sesiwn dystiolaeth y pwyllgor yn ystyried egwyddorion cyffredinol y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru). Rŷn ni heddiw yn clywed tystiolaeth oddi wrth NFU Cymru ac Undeb Amaethwyr Cymru. Dwi'n nodi bod Dr Hazel Wright yn cymryd rhan yn rhithiol heddiw. Gaf i groesawu'r tystion i'r sesiwn yma? Cyn ein bod ni'n symud yn syth i gwestiynau, efallai y gallaf i ofyn iddyn nhw gyflwyno eu hunain i'r record? Efallai y gallaf i ddechrau gyda Hazel Wright.
English: Thank you very much, Chair. Clearly, we still don't know how much money the Government will transfer in payments to the sector, and that makes things slightly difficult perhaps in appreciating the impact of much of what we're discussing really. But there are details as to the administrative costs, and so on, of the Bill in the regulatory impact assessment. I was just wondering if you have any comments on the costs around the preferred option that they're going for.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr, Gadeirydd. Yn amlwg, dŷn ni'n dal ddim yn gwybod faint o arian fydd y Llywodraeth wedi ei drosglwyddo mewn taliadau i'r sector, felly mae hynny'n gwneud pethau bach yn anodd efallai o ran gwerthfawrogi impact lot o beth rŷn ni'n ei drafod mewn gwirionedd. Ond mae yna fanylion ynglŷn â chostau gweinyddol, ac yn y blaen, y Bil yn y regulatory impact assessment. Roeddwn i jest yn meddwl a oes gennych chi unrhyw sylwadau ynglŷn â'r costau o gwmpas y preferred option y maen nhw'n mynd amdano fe.
English: We'll move on to item 4 on our agenda, and I propose, under Standing Order 17.42, to resolve to exclude the public from the remainder of the meeting. Are Members content? Yes, I see that Members are content. Therefore, the motion is agreed and we'll move into private session.
Welsh: Symudwn ni ymlaen, felly, i eitem 4 ar ein hagenda, a dwi'n cynnig, o dan Reol Sefydlog 17.42, i benderfynu gwahardd y cyhoedd o weddill y cyfarfod. A yw Aelodau'n fodlon? Ydyn. Dwi'n gweld bod Aelodau'n fodlon. Felly, derbynnir y cynnig ac fe symudwn ni i'n sesiwn breifat ni.
English: Very good morning to everybody. A warm welcome to this meeting of the Finance Committee this morning. We have a session with the public services ombudsman in a minute. Just to say, one of our Members, Rhianon Passmore, is on her way in, so we hope she'll be joining us shortly, but we will note her apologies if she doesn't join us. This meeting is being broadcast live on Senedd.tv and the Record of Proceedings will be published as usual. Does anybody have any declarations of interest? I see not. Therefore, we'll move on to the papers to note.
Welsh: Bore da iawn. Croeso cynnes i gyfarfod o'r Pwyllgor Cyllid y bore yma. Mae gyda ni sesiwn efo'r public services ombudsman mewn munud. Felly, jest i ddweud bod un o'n Haelodau ni, Rhianon Passmore, ar ei ffordd i mewn, felly rydyn ni'n gobeithio y bydd hi yma mewn munud; fel arall, fe wnawn ni nodi ei hymddiheuriadau hi os dydy hi ddim yma. Mae'r cyfarfod yma'n cael ei ddarlledu ar Senedd.tv a bydd Cofnod y Trafodion ar gael yn ôl yr arfer. Oes gan unrhyw un unrhyw fuddiannau i'w datgan? Nac oes. Felly, fe wnawn ni symud ymlaen i bapurau i'w nodi.
English: A warm welcome. Thanks for attending this morning. We have about an hour and a half.
Welsh: Croeso cynnes. Diolch i chi am ddod. Mae gyda ni rhyw awr a hanner.
English: In accordance with Standing Order 17.42, I propose that the committee resolves to exclude the public from the remainder of the meeting and the meeting on 20 October. Is everyone content? Thank you.
Welsh: Yn unol â Rheol Sefydlog 17.42, dwi'n cynnig bod y pwyllgor yn penderfynu gwahardd y cyhoedd o weddill y cyfarfod ac o'r cyfarfod ar 20 Hydref. Ydy pawb yn fodlon? Diolch.
English: Good morning, everyone. Is the interpretation equipment working this morning? Yes, it is. Thank you very much for the invitation to attend today. I am chair of the mid Wales CJC since May of this year, because that's when I became leader of Ceredigion County Council. It was a bit of rude awakening, if truth be told - there were many things that I didn't quite understand at the beginning, but we have had the second meeting now. I see an element of frustration in terms of the questions that we've already asked for the short term - things such as VAT and corporation tax in terms of the grant funding that we'll be asking for. As chair, the meeting on - . There is a timetable of meetings. The next meeting is in November now, and I feel that if we don't have answers on VAT and corporation tax, then what point is there in us meeting? So, if there was anything that we could get out of this committee today, Chair, it would be to have an answer to the questions that we've already asked. I think it's difficult for us to move ahead with other projects and rubber stamp projects until we have answers to those questions. Sorry to be negative about it, but I think, because it is a public forum in terms of the CJC, it would be a poor reflection on us if we were to ask the same questions time and time again and if we didn't receive the answers to those questions. So, in terms of the objectives for the short term, that is something that we will have to overcome before we move ahead.
Welsh: Bore da, bawb. Ydy'r offer cyfieithu ar gael bore yma? Ydy. Diolch am y gwahoddiad i fynychu hwn heddiw. Dwi'n gadeirydd ar CJC canolbarth Cymru ers mis Mai, gan mai bryd hwnnw des i'n arweinydd ar Gyngor Sir Ceredigion. Bach o rude awakening, os gallaf ddweud y gwir - lot o bethau doeddwn i ddim cweit yn deall ar y dechrau, ond rŷm ni wedi cael yr ail gyfarfod nawr. Dwi'n gweld elfen o rwystredigaeth o ran y cwestiynau rŷm ni eisoes wedi eu holi ar gyfer y tymor byr - pethau fel treth ar werth a'r dreth gorfforaethol o ran yr arian grant fyddwn ni'n holi amdano. Fel cadeirydd, mae'r cyfarfod ar - . Mae amserlen o ran cyfarfodydd. Mae'r cyfarfod nesaf gyda ni ym mis Tachwedd nawr, a dwi'n teimlo os nad ydym ni'n cael atebion am y dreth ar werth a'r dreth gorfforaethol, yna pa bwrpas fydd yna inni gwrdd? Felly, os oes rhywbeth yn mynd i ddod mas o'r cyfarfod hwn heddiw, Gadeirydd, bydden ni'n gobeithio ein bod ni'n gallu cael datrysiad i'r cwestiynau rŷm ni wedi eu holi'n barod. Felly, dwi'n teimlo ei bod hi'n anodd inni symud ymlaen â phrosiectau eraill ac i 'rubber-stampo' prosiectau nes ein bod ni'n cael atebion i'r cwestiynau hynny. Sori i fod yn negyddol am y peth, ond rwy'n credu, achos ei fod e'n fforwm cyhoeddus o ran y CJC, fe fyddai'n adlewyrchiad gwael arnom ni os dŷn ni'n holi'r un cwestiynau eto ac eto a ddim wedi cael yr atebion. Felly, o ran yr objectives o ran y tymor byr, mae hwnna'n rhywbeth y mae'n rhaid inni ddod drosto cyn ein bod ni'n symud ymlaen, a dweud y gwir.
English: Yes. The mid Wales growth board has started looking at the projects that we have, and the projects are now proceeding to the next stage, and they will come before the CJC, so we are ready to move ahead to the next stage. But, in the meantime, we do need to have the answers to those other issues that I raised. But, in terms of the plans, they are going ahead. So, the work that the board is doing, be that in terms of elected members or officials from Powys and Ceredigion, that collaboration is happening very well and successfully. So, it would be a shame if the questions that I asked would stymie those plans in the short term.
Welsh: Ie. Mae bwrdd tyfu canolbarth Cymru, dŷn ni wedi edrych ar y prosiectau sydd gyda ni, ac mae'r cynlluniau hynny'n barod yn mynd ymlaen i'r cam nesaf nawr, a bydd y rheini'n dod gerbron y CJC felly, yn barod i fwrw gerdded i'r stage nesaf. Ond, yn y cyfamser, mae'n rhaid inni gael yr atebion i'r peth arall. Ond, o ran y cynlluniau, mae'r rheini wedi dod trwyddo'n iawn beth bynnag. Felly, mae'r gwaith y mae'r bwrdd yn ei wneud, boed e'n aelodau etholedig neu'n swyddogion o Bowys a Cheredigion, mae'r cydweithio yna'n dda iawn, a dweud y gwir wrthych chi. Felly, byddai'n drueni os yw hwn yn mynd i rwystro'r cynlluniau yna dros dro efallai.
English: One of the plans in the Powys area is the Centre for Alternative Technology in Machynlleth. There is a project in terms of the educational element there that is moving ahead. With regard to Ceredigion, there are two projects there: looking at the Aberaeron harbour, creating a new marina there. Another scheme in Ceredigion is the university in Lampeter, looking at an ambitious centre looking at food, for example. There is an innovative plan there called Tir Glas, where they're looking at a from field to fork type of scheme. And as a result of that, they hope to have a centre of excellence in the area with regard to those issues. There are also plans for a food centre in Horeb, Llandysul - again, an innovative project. The emphasis on producing food with a low-carbon footprint is vitally important, and that will happen in collaboration with the university in Lampeter, and is a very innovative project. There are some other projects in Powys that perhaps haven't quite hit the target yet in terms of the information that we need to proceed, so we need to look again at those plans - things such as a plan for a canal, for example. So, hopefully, they will come back with more information so that they can proceed to the next stage.
Welsh: Un o'r cynlluniau yn ardal Powys yw'r CAT, y Centre for Alternative Technology ym Machynlleth. Mae yna gynllun o ran yr elfen addysgiadol a phethau'n dod ymlaen fanna. O ran Ceredigion, mae yna ddau beth sydd ynghlwm fanna: edrych ar harbwr Aberaeron a chreu marina newydd fanna. Cynllun arall yng Ngheredigion - y brifysgol yn Llanbed, creu rhyw ganolfan uchelgeisiol o ran bwydydd, er enghraifft. Mae cynllun arloesol gyda nhw o'r enw Tir Glas, lle maen nhw'n edrych ar from the fields to the fork teip o beth. Ac yn sgil hynny, maen nhw'n gobeithio gwneud rhyw centre of excellence yn yr ardal o ran hynny. Mae yna gynlluniau hefyd o ran canolfan fwyd yn Horeb, Llandysul - eto, rhywbeth arloesol. Mae'r pwyslais o greu bwyd ag ôl-troed carbon isel yn hollbwysig, a thrwy gydweithio â'r coleg, yn Llanbed yn enwedig, gallai hwnnw fod yn rhywbeth arloesol. Mae yna ambell i gynllun arall ym Mhowys efallai sydd ddim wedi cweit bwrw'r targed o ran y wybodaeth sydd ei hangen, felly mae'r rheini wedi mynd nôl, i ailedrych ar y cynlluniau yna - pethau fel rhyw gynllun gyda chamlas, er enghraifft. Felly, mae'r rheini, gobeithio, yn mynd i ddod nôl â rhagor o wybodaeth, fel eu bod nhw'n gallu mynd ymlaen i'r stage nesaf wedyn.
English: I don't know whether Dyfrig is facing the same frustrations, but in a rural area, I think, in general, the costs of creating these projects tend to be higher. In terms of the plans that we have, you'll all be aware that the costs of commodities have increased a great deal over the past few months. I'm not sure, but the analogy that I use very often is steering an oil tanker, when it takes so much time to turn in a certain direction, and in the meantime, the prices have risen so much, so you need to look again at the costs associated with the project. I don't want to be overly negative, but I just feel that the CJC is an additional layer of bureaucracy. But, having said that, in terms of the positives, it is another layer of scrutiny too, because you do have to have that scrutiny function, particularly with regard to the sums of money that we're asking for. And I accept that; I accept that fully. But, during the time it takes to get the projects through, the costs have increased a great deal, and that's an element that we see in a more rural area particularly.
Welsh: Dwi ddim yn siŵr os yw Dyfrig yn wynebu'r un rhwystredigaethau, ond mewn ardal wledig, dwi'n credu, yn gyffredinol, mae'r costau o greu'r prosiectau yn dueddol o gosti mwy. O ran y cynlluniau sydd gyda ni, rŷch chi gyd yn ymwybodol bod costau nwyddau wedi cynyddu tipyn dros y misoedd diwethaf. Dwi ddim yn siŵr, ond yr analogy dwi'n ei ddefyddio'n aml yw bod e fel 'steer-o' tancer o olew, ble mae'n cymryd gymaint o amser i droi i ryw gyfeiriad, ac yn y cyfamser, mae'r prisiau wedi codi gymaint, felly mae'n rhaid ailedrych ar y costau a phethau. Dwi ddim eisiau bod yn or-negyddol, ond dwi jest yn teimlo bod y CJC yn haenen ychwanegol o fiwrocratiaeth. Ond, wedyn, o ran y positif, mae e'n haenen arall o graffu hefyd, achos mae'n rhaid cael y craffu yna, yn enwedig gyda'r symiau o arian rŷn ni'n holi am. Felly, dwi'n derbyn hwnna; dwi'n derbyn hwnna yn gywir. Ond, yn ystod yr amser mae'n cymryd i gael y prosiectau hyn drwyddo, mae'r costau wedi cynyddu tipyn bach, a mae hwnna yn elfen efallai rŷn ni'n gweld mewn ardal fwy gwledig.
English: One practical point that hasn't been raised at all is the right to borrow. We, of course, are operating the growth deal, with a spend over the next 15 years of £240 million. Currently, we don't need those rights to borrow, but it will be necessary, I'm sure, as we face the variations in the spend and receipt profiles. Without those rights and the loans for corporate tax, VAT and others, we won't be able to implement our growth deal through the CJC. It won't be possible for us to do that. We already know, in our last budget, which is a very, very small one, with no implementation really, except for the establishment of the body, that there will be an additional cost of £40,000, out of a spend of £360,000, that will be lost to VAT. So, you can see the extent of the problem in that context. Thank you.
Welsh: Un pwynt hollol ymarferol sydd ddim wedi cael ei godi o gwbl ydy'r hawl benthyca. Mi rydyn ni, wrth gwrs, yn gweithredu'r cynllun twf, gyda gwariant dros y 15 mlynedd nesaf o £240 miliwn. Ar hyn o bryd, dydyn ni ddim angen yr hawliau benthyg, ond mi fydd o'n angenrheidiol, dwi'n siŵr, wrth inni wynebu gwahaniaethau proffilio yn y gwariant a'r derbyn arian. Heb yr hawliau yna a'r benthyciadau treth gorfforaethol, treth ar werth ac eraill, fedrwn ni ddim gweithredu ein cynllun twf trwy'r cyd-bwyllgor. Bydd o ddim yn bosib inni wneud hynny. Rydyn ni eisoes yn gwybod, yn ein cyllideb ddiwethaf, sydd yn gyllideb fechan iawn, iawn, gyda dim gweithredu, mewn difrif, heblaw am sefydlu'r corff, y bydd yna gost ychwanegol o £40,000, allan o wariant o £360,000, yn cael ei golli ar dreth ar werth. Felly, rydych chi'n gallu gweld beth yw graddfa'r broblem o hynny, felly. Diolch.
English: Thank you very much, Chair. Good morning, everyone, and thank you all for joining us this morning. You've touched a little bit on the central part of what's expected from these CJCs, so I want to go into that in more detail. If we look at, for example, the local and regional planning, what advantages do you see in developing the CJC when it comes to planning and decision making, and how is that going to duplicate or impact on the development work that is already being done by your local authorities? If we can start, perhaps, with Anthony.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn, Gadeirydd. Bore da, bawb, a diolch i chi i gyd am ddod ac ymuno efo ni yma y bore yma. Rydych chi wedi cyffwrdd ychydig ar waith elfennol a chanolog yr hyn sydd yn ddisgwyliedig o'r cyd-bwyllgorau yma, felly dwi eisiau mynd i mewn ychydig yn fwy i hynny. Os ydyn ni'n edrych ar, er enghraifft, cynllunio lleol, pa fanteision ydych chi'n gweld sydd o ddatblygu'r cyd-bwyllgor ar y cyd pan fo'n dod i gynllunio, a sut mae hynny yn mynd i ddyblygu'r gwaith neu effeithio ar gynlluniau datblygu sydd eisoes gan eich awdurdodau lleol chi ar y gweill? Os cawn ni gychwyn efo Anthony, am wn i.
English: Thank you very much. We'll go to Bryan in Ceredigion.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn. Awn ni draw, am wn i, at Bryan yng Ngheredigion.
