English: I'd like to ask the Trefnydd for two statements today. First, with regard to the outstanding issues with regard to the census. I know that Welsh Government shares the concerns on these benches that Welsh citizens should be able to identify as black and ethnic minority Welsh without having to go through the inconvenience of having to write handwriting in a separate part of the form. I'd like to ask for an updated statement from the Government as to their current position with regard to this and any conversations they've had with the Office for National Statistics. Colleagues from Gwynedd Council met the ONS yesterday and actually received quite a favourable response, and the ONS was asking for evidence. Now, I'm sure that Welsh Ministers will be aware that Gwynedd and the other north Wales authorities have found in their own monitoring systems ways in which black and ethnic minority citizens can register themselves as Welsh in the way that we would seek the census to do. So, I'd be very grateful if we can have a further statement from the Government about - a written statement, perhaps - the latest position in this regard, because time is running out and the ONS will shortly be doing further piloting with the forms they propose to use, and I fear that once those forms have been used in the pilots, it will be more difficult to change them. Welsh Ministers will also be aware that Carmarthenshire County Council has reached a position where they have had to withdraw their application for planning for the current proposed site for the new Ysgol Dewi Sant. This is a matter of great regret to me and more importantly to my constituents and to the children who are being taught in conditions that, were they factory workers, the factory would be closed down because it simply isn't safe. Now, obviously, this was a decision that the local authority took; this is certainly not a matter for the Minister for Education, and I know that she has expressed a willingness in future to look at a further application for funding if it comes forward. But I would like to ask for a statement from the Minister with responsibility for planning, because the reason why this withdrawal has been necessary is that the county has spent over £0.5 million trying to respond to the requirements of the call-in process, and they have reached the point where they simply feel they have to back away from that site, even though, out of the nine sites looked at in the previous public consultation, this was the favoured site. So, I would like to ask the Minister with responsibility for planning to review the call-in process, particularly with regard to public buildings, to ensure that it is better insulated in future from party political interference, which has been at the root of this issue for Ysgol Dewi Sant.
Welsh: Hoffwn i ofyn i'r Trefnydd am ddau ddatganiad heddiw. Yn gyntaf, o ran y materion sydd heb eu datrys ynglŷn â'r cyfrifiad. Gwn fod Llywodraeth Cymru yn rhannu'r pryderon ar y meinciau hyn y dylai dinasyddion Cymru allu nodi eu hunain fel Cymry duon a lleiafrifoedd ethnig heb orfod mynd drwy'r anghyfleustra o orfod ysgrifennu â llaw mewn rhan ar wahân o'r ffurflen. Hoffwn i ofyn am ddatganiad diweddar gan y Llywodraeth ynghylch ei sefyllfa bresennol o ran hyn ac unrhyw sgyrsiau a gafwyd â'r Swyddfa Ystadegau Gwladol. Roedd cydweithwyr o Gyngor Gwynedd wedi cwrdd â'r ONS ddoe a chawsant ymateb eithaf ffafriol mewn gwirionedd, ac roedd y Swyddfa Ystadegau Gwladol yn gofyn am dystiolaeth. Rwy'n siŵr y bydd Gweinidogion Cymru yn ymwybodol bod Gwynedd ac awdurdodau eraill y Gogledd wedi canfod yn eu systemau monitro eu hunain ffyrdd y gall dinasyddion du a lleiafrifoedd ethnig gofrestru eu hunain fel Cymry yn y ffordd y byddem ni'n ceisio i'r Cyfrifiad ei wneud. Felly, byddwn i'n ddiolchgar iawn pe gallwn ni gael datganiad pellach gan y Llywodraeth ynghylch - datganiad ysgrifenedig, efallai - y sefyllfa ddiweddaraf yn hyn o beth, oherwydd bod amser yn mynd yn brin a bydd yr ONS yn cynnal rhagor o waith treialu yn fuan gyda'r ffurflenni y maen nhw'n bwriadu eu defnyddio, ac rwy'n ofni, ar ôl i'r ffurflenni hynny gael eu defnyddio yn y cynlluniau peilot, y bydd yn fwy anodd eu newid. Bydd Gweinidogion Cymru hefyd yn ymwybodol bod Cyngor Sir Caerfyrddin wedi cyrraedd sefyllfa lle bu'n rhaid iddyn nhw dynnu'n ôl eu cais cynllunio am y safle arfaethedig presennol ar gyfer ysgol newydd Dewi Sant. Mae hyn yn destun gofid mawr i mi ac yn bwysicach byth i fy etholwyr ac i'r plant sy'n cael eu haddysgu dan y fath amodau, pe baent yn weithwyr ffatri, y byddai'r ffatri'n cael ei chau am nad yw'n ddiogel. Nawr, yn amlwg, roedd hwn yn benderfyniad a wnaeth yr awdurdod lleol; yn sicr, nid yw hwn yn fater i'r Gweinidog Addysg, a gwn ei bod wedi mynegi parodrwydd yn y dyfodol i ystyried cais pellach am arian os caiff ei gyflwyno. Ond hoffwn i ofyn am ddatganiad gan y Gweinidog sydd â chyfrifoldeb dros gynllunio, oherwydd y rheswm pam y bu'n rhaid tynnu'n ôl yw bod y sir wedi gwario dros £0.5 miliwn yn ceisio ymateb i ofynion y broses galw i mewn. Maen nhw wedi cyrraedd y pwynt lle maen nhw'n teimlo eu bod yn gorfod symud i ffwrdd o'r safle hwnnw, er, o'r naw safle a ystyriwyd yn yr ymgynghoriad cyhoeddus blaenorol, hwn oedd y safle a ffafriwyd. Felly, hoffwn i ofyn i'r Gweinidog sy'n gyfrifol am gynllunio i adolygu'r broses galw i mewn, yn enwedig o ran adeiladau cyhoeddus, i sicrhau y caiff ei warchod yn well yn y dyfodol rhag ymyrraeth pleidiau gwleidyddol, sydd wedi bod wrth wraidd y mater i ysgol Dewi Sant.
