English: I want to look at three particular areas - and I'm looking forward to hear the Minister's comments on these three areas - starting with recommendation 1, relating to prejudice on the grounds of gender. Of course, unfortunately, some of the conclusions in the report aren't new to us, and certainly, in autumn of 2012, the Enterprise and Business Committee raised the importance of tackling these issues in order to expand access. A recommendation was accepted that the Welsh Government should monitor differences between genders in apprenticeships, the reasons for those differences, and to consider the possibility of setting targets for improving recruitment rates for women in apprenticeships in the priority sectors for the economy. Accepted also, back in 2012, was the recommendation that training should be provided on gender equality for professionals in the field of careers and educating to correct any stereotyping in the advice that they give to young people. But, unfortunately, of course, over five years after publishing that report and accepting those recommendations, only 1.6 per cent of construction apprenticeships and 3.1 per cent of engineering apprenticeships are held by women, as opposed to 96 per cent of childcare and teaching and development apprenticeships and 91 per cent of hairdressing apprenticeships that are held by women. So, this does raise questions about the steps that have been taken by your Government over the past five years to get to grips with this issue, and it raises a question also about whether you will be genuinely taking action on the recommendations that have been made by this committee. We discussed this morning, in the equality committee, the role that the economic contract can play in being used to try to get rid of some of these stereotypes. Even though this committee hasn't considered this issue, I wonder what your comments would be. Could this contract be used with regard to apprenticeships as well to try to tackle some of the stereotypes on the basis of gender? Secondly, I want to look at the aspect of the Welsh language and apprenticeships through the medium of the Welsh language. Again, the gap in the likely demand for apprenticeships through the medium of Welsh and the ability to meet that demand - . That isn't unexpected either. The number of apprenticeships offered through the medium of Welsh has been extremely low for years. In 2014-15, only 0.3 per cent, or 140 apprenticeships, were completed through the medium of Welsh, out of well over 48,000 apprenticeships. The Welsh Government's response to criticism of the situation was to change the way that the statistics are gathered, by publishing a figure for the number of apprenticeships with some element of bilingual teaching - and that could mean as little as introducing one bilingual resource to the students. Clearly, we need to get to grips with the situation in order to reach 1 million Welsh speakers by 2050, and also to fill the gaps in skills in areas such as social care, where there is a need for Welsh speakers to provide services for Welsh speakers. The decision to extend the responsibilities of the coleg Cymraeg to include further education colleges and workplace learning is to be welcomed, but we need a sufficient budget for that work and in order to increase the proportion of apprenticeships that are completed through the medium of Welsh. Finally, and very quickly: even though the committee doesn't mention the apprenticeships levy from the point of view of the police - please forgive me for wandering into this field - it is a cause for concern because a year after the apprenticeships levy was introduced, it's still unclear who has the responsibility for the levy. My colleague the Member of Parliament for Dwyfor Meirionnydd, Liz Saville Roberts, has received contradictory information - information from you that it's a matter that is reserved on a UK level, and information from the Minister for police also, which states that they're not responsible for police training. So, nobody's taking responsibility for training police, and nobody's taking responsibility for the apprenticeships, which would be very beneficial, of course, in this area. So, I would like to use this opportunity just to ask the Welsh Government to explain what's happening with apprenticeships for the police and the levy in that regard. Thank you.
Welsh: Rydw i am edrych ar dri maes yn benodol - gan edrych ymlaen at glywed sylwadau'r Gweinidog ar y tri maes yma - gan ddechrau efo argymhelliad 1, sydd yn ymwneud â rhagfarn ar sail rhywedd. Yn anffodus, wrth gwrs, nid ydy rhai o'r casgliadau yn yr adroddiad yma yn rhai newydd i ni, ac yn sicr, yn hydref 2012, fe gododd y Pwyllgor Menter a Busnes y pwysigrwydd o fynd i'r afael â rhagfarn ar sail rhywedd er mwyn ehangu mynediad. Fe dderbyniwyd argymhelliad y dylai Llywodraeth Cymru nodi a monitro'r gwahaniaethau rhwng y rhywiau mewn prentisiaethau, y rhesymau am y gwahaniaethau hynny, ac archwilio'r posibilrwydd o bennu targedau ar gyfer gwella'r gyfradd recriwtio ar gyfer prentisiaid benywaidd yn y sectorau â blaenoriaeth o safbwynt economaidd. Fe dderbyniwyd hefyd, nôl yn 2012, yr argymhelliad y dylid darparu hyfforddiant cydraddoldeb rhywiol ar gyfer cynghorwyr gyrfaoedd a gweithwyr addysgu proffesiynol i gywiro unrhyw stereoteipio yn y cyngor y maen nhw'n ei roi i bobl ifanc. Ond y tristwch ydy, wrth gwrs, dros bum mlynedd ers cyhoeddi yr adroddiad hwnnw a derbyn yr argymhellion hynny, dim ond 1.6 y cant o brentisiaid adeiladu a 3.1 y cant o brentisiaid peirianneg sydd yn fenywod, o'u cymharu â 96 y cant o brentisiaid gofal plant, dysgu a datblygu a 91 y cant o brentisiaid trin gwallt yn ferched. Felly, mae hyn yn codi cwestiynau ynglŷn â'r camau sydd wedi'u cymryd gan eich Llywodraeth chi dros y pum mlynedd diwethaf i fynd i'r afael â hyn, ac mae o hefyd yn codi cwestiwn ynglŷn ag a fyddwch chi wir yn gweithredu ar yr argymhellion sydd wedi cael eu nodi gan y pwyllgor. Mi wnaethom ni drafod y bore yma, yn y pwyllgor cydraddoldeb, y rôl y gall y contract economaidd gael wrth ei ddefnyddio er mwyn ceisio dileu rhai o'r stereoteipiau yma, ac er, efallai, nad ydy'r pwyllgor wedi edrych ar y mater yma, tybed beth ydy eich sylwadau chi. A oes modd defnyddio'r contract yma yn y maes prentisiaethau hefyd er mwyn ceisio dileu'r stereoteipio ar sail rhywedd? Yn ail, rydw i'n edrych ar agwedd y Gymraeg a phrentisiaethau drwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg. Unwaith eto, nid ydy'r bwlch yn y galw tebygol am brentisiaethau drwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg a'r gallu i gwrdd â hwnnw - . Nid ydy hynny'n annisgwyl ychwaith. Mae nifer y prentisiaethau sy'n cael eu cynnal drwy'r Gymraeg wedi bod yn eithriadol o isel ers blynyddoedd. Yn 2014-15, dim ond 0.3 y cant, neu 140 prentisiaeth, a oedd yn cael eu cwblhau yn y Gymraeg allan o ymhell dros 48,000 o brentisiaethau. Ymateb Llywodraeth Cymru i feirniadaeth am y sefyllfa hon oedd newid y ffordd y mae'r ystadegau yn cael eu cyflwyno, gan gyhoeddi ffigwr ar gyfer nifer y prentisiaethau â rhywfaint o ddysgu dwyieithog - ac mi allai hynny olygu cyn lleied â chyflwyno un adnodd dysgu dwyieithog i'r myfyrwyr. Mae'n hollol amlwg bod yn rhaid inni fynd i'r afael â'r sefyllfa yma er mwyn cyrraedd 1 filiwn o siaradwyr Cymraeg erbyn 2050, a hefyd i lenwi bylchau sgiliau mewn meysydd megis gofal cymdeithasol, lle mae angen siaradwyr Cymraeg i ddarparu gwasanaeth i siaradwyr Cymraeg. Mae'r penderfyniad i ymestyn cyfrifoldebau'r coleg Cymraeg i gynnwys colegau addysg bellach a'r sector dysgu yn y gweithle i'w groesawu, ond mae angen cyllideb ddigonol ar gyfer gwneud y gwaith ac er mwyn cynyddu'r gyfran o brentisiaethau sy'n cael eu cyflawni drwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg. Yn olaf, yn sydyn: er nad ydy'r pwyllgor yn crybwyll yr ardoll brentisiaethau o safbwynt yr heddlu - maddeuwch imi am grwydro i mewn i'r maes yna - mae o'n destun consérn achos un flwyddyn ar ôl i'r ardoll brentisiaethau gael ei chyflwyno, mae'n dal yn aneglur pwy sydd â chyfrifoldeb dros yr ardoll. Mae fy nghyfaill Aelod Seneddol Dwyfor Meirionnydd, Liz Saville Roberts, wedi derbyn gwybodaeth groes - gwybodaeth gennych chi ei fod o'n fater wedi'i gadw yn ôl yn y Deyrnas Gyfunol, a gwybodaeth gan y Gweinidog heddlu hefyd, sy'n dweud nad ydyn nhw'n gyfrifol am hyfforddi'r heddlu. Felly, nid oes yna neb yn cymryd y cyfrifoldeb dros hyfforddi'r heddlu, ac nid oes neb yn cymryd y cyfrifoldeb dros y prentisiaethau, a fyddai'n fuddiol iawn, wrth gwrs, yn y maes yma. Felly, buaswn i'n hoffi defnyddio'r cyfle jest i ofyn i Lywodraeth Cymru egluro beth sy'n digwydd efo prentisiaethau'r heddlu a'r ardoll ar gyfer hynny. Diolch.
