English: Llywydd, I want to thank Alun Davies for that question. He repeated the word 'seamless' in his supplementary, and that's the word I want to focus on in this reply. So, in the help that we will provide through our £294 million, a great part of that will be provided automatically to businesses in Wales. So, they will not need to apply for it; it will come through the mechanisms we developed with our local government colleagues earlier in the pandemic: £1,000 for all businesses with a rateable value of under £12,000; £5,000 for businesses with a rateable value above £12,000 and they'll get that automatically - seamlessly, to use the term that Alun Davies used. My problem with the Chancellor's reply to my letter is that I was asking for something similar in relation to the help that the UK Government provides, and I've tried, whenever I've had the opportunity, to recognise the value of the help that the UK Government has provided to workers affected by coronavirus. All I wanted was to have one scheme of help in Wales, rather than businesses having to apply twice for help: once up until 30 October, and a different scheme beyond that. And as I say, I offered - I thought - the Chancellor a very straightforward way of helping businesses in Wales so that the help they got from the UK Government was as seamless as the help we want to offer them through the Welsh Government. It is disappointing that the Chancellor couldn't find a way simply of allowing the scheme that he will introduce on 1 November to apply here in Wales a week earlier than that. I've offered him today a different solution - not as good as that - but it would help to iron out some of the difficulties otherwise that businesses will face and it would go some way at least to answering the call that Alun Davies has made with for the seamless support that businesses in Wales need.
Welsh: Llywydd, hoffwn ddiolch i Alun Davies am y cwestiwn yna. Ailadroddodd y gair 'di-dor' yn ei gwestiwn atodol, a dyna'r gair yr hoffwn ganolbwyntio arno yn yr ateb hwn. Felly, yn y cymorth y byddwn ni'n ei ddarparu drwy ein £294 miliwn, bydd rhan fawr o hynny yn cael ei ddarparu yn awtomatig i fusnesau yng Nghymru. Felly, ni fydd angen iddyn nhw wneud cais amdano; bydd yn dod drwy'r mecanweithiau a ddatblygwyd gennym ni gyda'n cydweithwyr mewn llywodraeth leol yn gynharach yn y pandemig: £1,000 i bob busnes â gwerth trethadwy o lai na £12,000; £5,000 i fusnesau â gwerth trethadwy dros £12,000 a byddan nhw'n cael hwnnw yn awtomatig - yn ddi-dor, i ddefnyddio'r term a ddefnyddiodd Alun Davies. Fy mhroblem gydag ateb y Canghellor i'm llythyr yw fy mod i'n gofyn am rywbeth tebyg o ran y cymorth y mae Llywodraeth y DU yn ei ddarparu, ac rwyf i wedi ceisio, pryd bynnag yr wyf i wedi cael y cyfle, cydnabod gwerth y cymorth y mae Llywodraeth y DU wedi ei roi i weithwyr y mae coronafeirws wedi effeithio arnyn nhw. Y cwbl yr oeddwn i ei eisiau oedd cael un cynllun cymorth yng Nghymru, yn hytrach na bod busnesau yn gorfod gwneud cais ddwywaith am gymorth: unwaith hyd at 30 Hydref, a gwahanol gynllun y tu hwnt i hynny. Ac fel y dywedais, cynigiais - roeddwn i'n meddwl - ffordd syml iawn i'r Canghellor helpu busnesau yng Nghymru fel bod y cymorth yr oedden nhw'n ei gael gan Lywodraeth y DU mor ddi-dor â'r cymorth yr ydym ni eisiau ei gynnig iddyn nhw drwy Lywodraeth Cymru. Mae'n siomedig na allai'r Canghellor ddod o hyd i ffordd syml o ganiatáu i'r cynllun y bydd yn ei gyflwyno ar 1 Tachwedd fod yn gymwys yma yng Nghymru wythnos yn gynharach na hynny. Rwyf i wedi cynnig gwahanol ateb iddo heddiw - nid cystal â hynny - ond byddai'n helpu i ddatrys rhai o'r anawsterau y bydd busnesau yn eu hwynebu fel arall a byddai'n mynd ran o'r ffordd o leiaf i ateb yr alwad y mae Alun Davies wedi ei gwneud am y cymorth di-dor y mae busnesau yng Nghymru ei angen.
