English: I think this is another disappointing announcement from another major high street bank, and we've had them in all our constituencies across Wales - and also, indeed, Yorkshire Building Society; another one very recently. We've been aware of Barclays's restructuring programme, and it obviously is a trend, as we've said - an unfortunate trend - in terms of the banking sector. So, the Cabinet Secretary for infrastructure and economy has written to Barclays, urging them to reconsider the decision. We want to safeguard jobs across Wales. We will, obviously, help in terms of staff facing redundancy. I think it's worth mentioning the ReAct III programme. That provides a comprehensive package of support to people in Wales affected by redundancy, and, of course, that is something where possible new employment is to be found soon after redundancy, preventing progression into long-term unemployment. So, there's been contact made between Barclays and Careers Wales and Jobcentre Plus. We've also alerted our employer contacts, including the Welsh contact centre forum, about the possibility of skilled staff coming into the jobs market over the next few years, and they're going to work, where they can, with Barclays and affected employees. Yesterday, a fast-expanding customer service venture, Firstsource, announced that it's going to begin a two-day recruitment event later this week, hoping to create a further 300 jobs in Cardiff - Discovery House, as we know, in Cardiff Bay, and Oakleigh House in the city centre. Also, we have the Vodafone announcement of 100 new customer service jobs. So, I think all these connections will be made to give some hope and prospects to those people who may unfortunately lose their jobs, particularly in terms of your constituency and the Llanishen mortgage advice contact centre.
Welsh: Rwy'n credu bod hwn yn gyhoeddiad siomedig arall gan fanc stryd fawr pwysig arall, ac rydym ni wedi eu cael nhw ym mhob un o'n hetholaethau ledled Cymru - a hefyd, yn wir, Yorkshire Building Society; un arall yn ddiweddar iawn. Rydym ni wedi bod yn ymwybodol o raglen ailstrwythuro Barclays, ac mae'n amlwg yn duedd, fel yr ydym ni wedi dweud - tuedd anffodus - o ran y sector bancio. Felly, mae Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros seilwaith a'r economi wedi ysgrifennu at Barclays, yn eu hannog i ailystyried y penderfyniad. Rydym ni eisiau diogelu swyddi ledled Cymru. Byddwn, yn amlwg, yn helpu staff sy'n wynebu cael eu diswyddo. Rwy'n credu ei bod hi'n werth sôn am raglen ReAct III. Mae honno'n cynnig pecyn cynhwysfawr o gymorth i bobl yng Nghymru sy'n cael eu heffeithio gan ddiswyddiad, ac, wrth gwrs, mae hynny'n rhywbeth lle mae cyflogaeth newydd bosibl i'w chael yn fuan ar ôl diswyddo, gan atal dilyniant i ddiweithdra hirdymor. Felly, gwnaed cysylltiad rhwng Barclays a Gyrfa Cymru a'r Ganolfan Byd Gwaith. Rydym ni hefyd wedi rhoi gwybod i'n cysylltiadau sy'n gyflogwyr, gan gynnwys fforwm canolfan gyswllt Cymru, am y posibilrwydd y bydd staff medrus yn dod i'r farchnad swyddi yn ystod y blynyddoedd nesaf, ac maen nhw'n mynd i weithio, pan fo'n bosibl, gyda Barclays a'r gweithwyr a effeithiwyd. Ddoe, cyhoeddodd menter gwasanaeth cwsmeriaid sy'n ehangu'n gyflym, Firstsource, y bydd yn dechrau digwyddiad recriwtio deuddydd yn ddiweddarach yr wythnos hon, gyda'r gobaith o greu 300 o swyddi ychwanegol yng Nghaerdydd - Discovery House, fel y gwyddom, ym Mae Caerdydd, ac Oakleigh House yng nghanol y ddinas. Hefyd, mae gennym ni gyhoeddiad Vodafone o 100 o swyddi gwasanaeth cwsmeriaid newydd. Felly, rwy'n credu y bydd yr holl gysylltiadau hyn yn rhoi rhywfaint o obaith a rhagolygon i'r bobl hynny a allai golli eu swyddi yn anffodus, yn enwedig o ran eich etholaeth chi a chanolfan gyswllt cyngor morgeisi Llanisien.
