English: I thank Huw Irranca-Davies for raising this issue and the concern that he's been steadfastly expressing for his constituents who are employed at the Ford plant at Bridgend and constituents even beyond his own area. I know that the economy Minister is very keen to keep all Members up to date on progress, but I would say today that we've begun the process of establishing that taskforce to work with partners, over the difficult weeks and months ahead, to help to find a sustainable, long-term solution for the plant and its workforce. We are acting quickly to progress this and have approached a prominent figure, as you know, from the automotive industry, to chair the taskforce. As part of the taskforce being established, the people's work stream, in conjunction with Ford, will consider the provision of appropriate financial advice for the workforce. The First Minister has spoken to the Prime Minister about the situation and the need for the two Governments to work together seamlessly for the people of Bridgend and the wider region. This was a message I was able to reiterate in a meeting that I was at of the Cabinet sub-committee with the UK Government just last week. The First Minister has also spoken with senior management at Ford who've committed to working with us on the taskforce to support their employees and the supply chain, and also to provide a legacy for the wider community. But I'll be certain to ensure that the economy Minister, in his updates, does address that legacy issue that you have particular concern about, and also the issue of pensions and the issue of parity with the agreements that have been made in similar situations elsewhere.
Welsh: Diolchaf i Huw Irranca-Davies am godi'r mater hwn a'r pryder y mae wedi bod yn ei fynegi'n gadarn dros ei etholwyr a gyflogir yn y gwaith Ford ym Mhen-y-bont ar Ogwr, ac etholwyr y tu hwnt i'w ardal ei hun hyd yn oed. Gwn fod Gweinidog yr economi yn awyddus iawn i roi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf am gynnydd i'r holl Aelodau, ond byddwn yn dweud heddiw ein bod ni wedi dechrau'r broses o sefydlu'r tasglu hwnnw i weithio gyda phartneriaid, dros yr wythnosau a'r misoedd anodd i ddod, i helpu i ddod o hyd i ateb cynaliadwy, hirdymor i'r gwaith a'i weithlu. Rydym ni'n gweithredu'n gyflym i fwrw ymlaen â hyn ac rydym ni wedi cysylltu, fel y gwyddoch, â ffigwr blaenllaw o'r diwydiant moduron, i gadeirio'r tasglu. Yn rhan o sefydlu'r tasglu, bydd ffrwd waith y bobl, mewn cydweithrediad â Ford, yn ystyried darparu cyngor ariannol priodol i'r gweithlu. Mae'r Prif Weinidog wedi siarad â'r Prif Weinidog am y sefyllfa a'r angen i'r ddwy Lywodraeth weithio gyda'i gilydd yn ddi-dor dros bobl Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr a'r rhanbarth ehangach. Roedd hon yn neges yr oeddwn i'n gallu ei hail-bwysleisio mewn cyfarfod is-bwyllgor y Cabinet gyda Llywodraeth y DU yr oeddwn i'n bresennol ynddo yr wythnos diwethaf. Mae'r Prif Weinidog hefyd wedi siarad gydag uwch reolwyr Ford sydd wedi ymrwymo i weithio gyda ni ar y tasglu i gefnogi eu cyflogeion a'r gadwyn gyflenwi, a hefyd i ddarparu gwaddol i'r gymuned ehangach. Ond byddaf yn siŵr o sicrhau bod Gweinidog yr economi, yn ei ddiweddariadau, yn rhoi sylw i'r mater hwnnw o waddol y mae gennych chi bryder arbennig yn ei gylch, a hefyd mater o bensiynau a'r mater o gydraddoldeb â'r cytundebau a wnaed mewn sefyllfaoedd tebyg mewn mannau eraill.
