English: If you take a stroll around the Conservative benches, you can still see, even after all this time, the still-glowing embers of the argument that was left behind by David Melding, the last of the unionists, and isn't he missed today? I think what we are seeing from the Conservative Government in Westminster is an attack on devolution, because Peter Fox mentioned subsidiarity. You cannot have subsidiarity without structure, and what this whole programme lacks is structure. Delyth Jewell has already mentioned the fact that Caerphilly, despite having the levels of economic inactivity that justify inclusion, was left out of the community renewal fund. That was a deliberate omission and having had this omission, I spoke to Wayne David MP, who I work very closely with. I'm very lucky as a Member of the Senedd because I've got a very good relationship with my Member of Parliament, and we together have a very good relationship with our county borough council. And together we've spoken about this, and talked about the consequences of these decisions that are being taken. Wayne David was approached about the levelling-up fund by the UK Government to say to him, 'What do you want to spend the levelling-up money on?' Local authorities were not included in the conversation. I wasn't included in the conversation. Wayne was. That's how it's happening throughout Westminster with Members of Parliament, and the majority of those Members of Parliament are Conservative Members of Parliament. Now, Paul Davies, you know I am not naturally the majority of Members of Parliament. I'm not naturally a party political animal. I don't get up in this Chamber and attack other political parties. You can count on the fingers of one hand the number of times I've attacked Plaid Cymru and the Conservatives, but this is a wrong decision. It is undermining devolution and it has no structure behind it. 'There are three key questions', Wayne said to me, 'you should be putting to the Chamber today.' What is the strategy? There is no strategy. What is it connecting to? So, what is Caerphilly borough doing that it connects into? What is the Welsh Government doing that it connects into? Nothing - there is nothing. And what is its value? What value will it bring to those communities that it purports to affect? None. That is the problem with this set of funding. It is about undermining devolution. And I respect Paul Davies and I listened to an awful lot of what you said. I think that you shoehorned your arguments around what crumbs we are getting from Westminster. You shoehorned those arguments around it, and I think Peter Fox, who I've got growing respect for, having first met him in this Chamber, did the same today. Now, I think there are independent minds on the Conservative benches, and it is up to them to take the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of David Melding and breathe life into those embers that are left by the last of the unionists. This is your chance. This is your chance to stand up to the UK Government and save devolution.
Welsh: Os ewch chi am dro o amgylch meinciau'r Ceidwadwyr, gallwch chi weld o hyd, hyd yn oed wedi'r holl amser hyn, marwor y ddadl sydd ynghyn o hyd a adawyd ar ôl gan David Melding, yr olaf o'r undebwr, ac onid oes colled ar ei ôl heddiw? Rwyf i'n credu mai yr hyn yr ydym yn ei weld gan y Llywodraeth Geidwadol yn San Steffan yw ymosodiad ar ddatganoli, oherwydd soniodd Peter Fox am sybsidiaredd. Ni allwch gael sybsidiaredd heb strwythur, a'r hyn sydd ar goll o'r rhaglen gyfan hon yw strwythur. Mae Delyth Jewell eisoes wedi sôn am y ffaith bod Caerffili, er bod ganddi'r lefelau anweithgarwch economaidd sy'n cyfiawnhau ei chynnwys, wedi ei heithrio o'r gronfa adnewyddu cymunedol. Roedd hynny yn hepgoriad bwriadol ac yn dilyn yr hepgoriad hwn, siaradais â Wayne David AS, yr wyf i'n gweithio'n agos iawn ag ef. Rwy'n lwcus iawn fel Aelod o'r Senedd oherwydd bod gen i berthynas dda iawn â fy Aelod Seneddol, a gyda'n gilydd mae gennym ni berthynas dda iawn â'n cyngor bwrdeistref sirol. A gyda'n gilydd rydym ni wedi siarad am hyn, ac wedi siarad am ganlyniadau'r penderfyniadau hyn sy'n cael eu gwneud. Cysylltodd Llywodraeth y DU â Wayne David ynglŷn â'r gronfa codi'r gwastad i ddweud wrtho, 'Beth ydych chi eisiau gwario'r arian codi'r gwastad arno?' Nid oedd awdurdodau lleol wedi eu cynnwys yn y sgwrs. Nid oeddwn i wedi fy nghynnwys yn y sgwrs. Mi oedd Wayne. Dyna sut mae'n digwydd ledled San Steffan gydag Aelodau Seneddol, ac mae'r rhan fwyaf o'r Aelodau Seneddol hynny yn Aelodau Seneddol Ceidwadol. Nawr, Paul Davies, rydych chi'n gwybod nad fi yw'r rhan fwyaf o Aelodau Seneddol yn naturiol. Nid anifail plaid wleidyddol ydw i yn naturiol. Nid wyf i'n codi yn y Siambr hon ac yn ymosod ar bleidiau gwleidyddol eraill. Gallwch chi gyfrif ar fysedd un llaw y nifer o weithiau yr wyf i wedi ymosod ar Blaid Cymru a'r Ceidwadwyr, ond mae hwn yn benderfyniad anghywir. Mae'n tanseilio datganoli ac nid oes ganddo unrhyw strwythur y tu ôl iddo. 'Mae yna dri chwestiwn allweddol', dywedodd Wayne wrtha i, 'y dylech chi fod yn eu cyflwyno i'r Siambr heddiw.' Beth yw'r strategaeth? Nid oes strategaeth. Beth mae'n cysylltu ag ef? Felly, beth mae bwrdeistref Caerffili yn ei wneud y mae'n cysylltu ag ef? Beth mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn ei wneud y mae'n cysylltu ag ef? Dim - nid oes dim. A beth yw ei werth? Pa werth y bydd yn ei roi i'r cymunedau hynny y mae'n honni y bydd yn effeithio arnyn nhw? Dim. Dyna'r broblem gyda'r gyfres hon o gyllid. Mae'n ymwneud â thanseilio datganoli. Ac rwy'n parchu Paul Davies a gwrandewais ar lawer iawn o'r hyn y gwnaethoch ei ddweud. Rwy'n credu y gwnaethoch chi seilio eich dadleuon ar y briwsion yr ydym yn eu cael gan San Steffan. Fe wnaethoch chi seilio'r dadleuon hynny o'i amgylch, ac rwy'n credu y gwnaeth Peter Fox, y mae gen i barch cynyddol tuag ato, ar ôl cyfarfod ag ef gyntaf yn y Siambr hon, yr un peth heddiw. Nawr, rwy'n credu bod meddyliau annibynnol ar feinciau'r Ceidwadwyr, a'u lle nhw yw manteisio ar y cyfle i ddilyn yn ôl traed David Melding ac anadlu bywyd i'r marwor hynny sydd wedi eu gadael gan yr olaf o'r undebwr. Dyma eich cyfle. Dyma eich cyfle i sefyll i fyny i Lywodraeth y DU ac achub datganoli.
