English: Can I thank the Minister for his written statement and his statement today? And, of course, I would agree with him that this announcement yesterday will be very worrying for the workforce of Tata Steel in Port Talbot and other locations around Wales. I'm pleased you've had an initial discussion today, and in that discussion, was there any indication of how this announcement may affect the skilled workers at Welsh sites? You mentioned a couple of months as the timescale for analysis to take place on a function-by-function basis. That's what you mentioned took place in your conversation this morning. Did you get any sense of when an update may be expected, and were there any other commitments made to you during that conversation? And what discussions did you have in influencing this process, if you like, for the benefit, of course, of the Welsh sites in your conversation this morning? There has been a significant amount of cross-party consensus to support our steel industry to date, and I'm sure the Minister will agree that we don't want to lose this in the heat of a general election. I was also pleased, like you, that the Secretary of State agreed to convene the UK Steel round-table to take place on 24 October. You mentioned your disappointment and frustration that that meeting was cancelled at the last minute, and I'm also aware that colleagues in the UK Government were equally frustrated that UK Steel cancelled this meeting at the last minute, despite being urged by the UK Government to continue with this meeting. I wonder if the Minister will therefore clarify that there has been a good deal of engagement between his department and UK Government officials on the future of the UK steel industry. And turning perhaps to a few points where the Welsh Government could support, Tata Steel has said that it aims to secure the foundation for investments required to accelerate innovation and the company's journey towards carbon-neutral steel making. I wonder what more the Welsh Government can do to support this ambition. What measures are you considering to assist in reducing operating costs and bureaucracy, such as a post-Brexit business rate relief to alleviate pressure on the industry, and ensure that Tata Steel has structurally competitive business here in Wales? Was this something that you were able to discuss this morning in your meeting? And finally, will the Minister also state what specific Welsh Government infrastructure projects will procure homemade Welsh steel, which will benefit, of course, the wider supply chain here in Wales?
Welsh: A gaf fi ddiolch i'r Gweinidog am ei ddatganiad ysgrifenedig a'i ddatganiad heddiw? Ac, wrth gwrs, byddwn i'n cytuno ag ef y bydd y cyhoeddiad hwn ddoe yn peri pryder mawr i weithlu Tata Steel ym Mhort Talbot a lleoliadau eraill ledled Cymru. Rwy'n falch eich bod chi wedi cael trafodaeth gychwynnol heddiw, ac yn y drafodaeth honno, a oedd unrhyw arwydd o sut y gallai'r cyhoeddiad hwn effeithio ar y gweithwyr medrus yn safleoedd Cymru? Fe sonioch mai cwpl o fisoedd fyddai'r amserlen ar gyfer y dadansoddiad fesul swyddogaeth. Dyna gyfeiriwyd ato yn eich sgwrs y bore yma. A gawsoch chi unrhyw syniad o bryd y byddai'n bosibl disgwyl diweddariad, ac a wnaed unrhyw ymrwymiadau eraill ichi yn ystod y sgwrs honno? A pha drafodaethau a gawsoch chi yn dylanwadu ar y broses hon, os mynnwch chi, er budd safleoedd Cymru, wrth gwrs, yn eich sgwrs y bore yma? Bu cryn dipyn o gonsensws ar draws y pleidiau i gefnogi ein diwydiant dur ni hyd yn hyn, ac rwy'n siŵr y bydd y Gweinidog yn cytuno nad ydym eisiau colli hyn yng ngwres etholiad cyffredinol. Roeddwn i hefyd yn falch, fel chithau, fod yr Ysgrifennydd Gwladol wedi cytuno i alw cyfarfod bwrdd crwn dur y DU ar 24 Hydref. Fe wnaethoch sôn am eich siom a'ch rhwystredigaeth fod y cyfarfod hwnnw wedi'i ganslo ar y funud olaf, a gwn hefyd fod cyd-Aelodau yn Llywodraeth y DU yr un mor rhwystredig â'r ffaith bod UK Steel wedi canslo'r cyfarfod hwn ar y funud olaf, er iddo gael ei annog gan Lywodraeth y DU i barhau â'r cyfarfod hwn. Tybed a wnaiff y Gweinidog felly egluro a oes cryn dipyn o ymgysylltu wedi bod rhwng ei adran ef a swyddogion Llywodraeth y DU ar ddyfodol diwydiant dur y Deyrnas Unedig. Ac wrth droi efallai at ambell i bwynt lle y gallai Llywodraeth Cymru gefnogi, mae Tata Steel wedi dweud ei fod yn ceisio sicrhau'r sylfaen ar gyfer buddsoddiadau sydd eu hangen i gyflymu arloesedd a llwybr y cwmni tuag at wneud dur carbon-niwtral. Tybed beth arall y gall Llywodraeth Cymru ei wneud i gefnogi'r uchelgais hwn. Pa fesurau yr ydych chi yn eu hystyried i gynorthwyo gyda lleihau costau gweithredu a biwrocratiaeth, megis rhyddhad ardrethi busnes ar ôl Brexit er mwyn lleddfu'r pwysau ar y diwydiant, a sicrhau bod gan Tata Steel fusnes cystadleuol o ran adeiladwaith yma yng Nghymru? A oedd hyn yn rhywbeth yr oeddech chi wedi gallu ei drafod y bore yma yn eich cyfarfod? Ac yn olaf, a wnaiff y Gweinidog nodi hefyd pa brosiectau seilwaith penodol gan Lywodraeth Cymru fydd yn caffael dur Cymreig cartref, a fydd, wrth gwrs, o fudd i'r gadwyn gyflenwi ehangach yma yng Nghymru?
