English: Well, Llywydd, the Member knows perfectly well that when he quotes that figure of £550 million, that is not free money, that is not money just available to be allocated - £365 million of that was pre-announced back in July of this year, and it now turns out that, of that £365 million, UK Ministers have spent over half of it before a penny of it crosses the border to be allocated in the National Assembly for Wales. I am giving very careful consideration to what remains of the consequentials from the budget - consequentials that have to last for over three years, consequentials that include capital, financial capital and revenue components. So, not all of this money is money that will help local authorities meet the pressures that they, quite rightly, report to us. The First Minister has said, as Nick Ramsay said, that local government is at the front of the queue. There's a clue in that formula: they are at the front of the queue, but there is a queue. There are many other things that we know we would like to do in Welsh public services as we enter the ninth year of austerity. Many of those things will no doubt be advocated by members of his party on the floor of the Assembly this afternoon, asking for more money for this, and more money for that, and more money for something else again. What I have to do is to use the very limited amount of money that came to us in the Chancellor's budget to balance those competing priorities, but I repeat what I have said and what the First Minister has said: the needs of Welsh local government are first in our thoughts as we go about that difficult business.
Welsh: Wel, Lywydd, mae'r Aelod yn gwybod yn iawn, pan fo'n dyfynnu'r ffigur hwnnw o £550 miliwn, nad yw'r arian hwnnw'n arian am ddim, nad yw'n arian sydd ar gael i'w ddyrannu - rhag-gyhoeddwyd £365 miliwn ohono yn ôl ym mis Gorffennaf eleni, a bellach, o'r £365 miliwn hwnnw, ymddengys bod Gweinidogion y DU wedi gwario dros ei hanner cyn i'r un geiniog groesi'r ffin i'w ddyrannu yng Nghynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru. Rwy'n ystyried yr hyn sy'n weddill o'r symiau canlyniadol o'r gyllideb yn ofalus iawn - symiau canlyniadol y mae'n rhaid iddynt bara am dros dair blynedd, symiau canlyniadol sy'n cynnwys cyfalaf, cyfalaf ariannol ac elfennau refeniw. Felly, nid yw'r holl arian hwn yn arian a fydd yn cynorthwyo awdurdodau lleol i ymdopi â'r pwysau y maent, yn gwbl briodol, yn dweud wrthym amdano. Mae'r Prif Weinidog wedi dweud, fel y dywedodd Nick Ramsay, fod llywodraeth leol ar flaen y ciw. Ceir cliw yn y fformiwla honno: maent ar flaen y ciw, ond mae ciw i'w gael. Mae llawer o bethau eraill y gwyddom yr hoffem eu gwneud mewn perthynas â gwasanaethau cyhoeddus yng Nghymru wrth inni gychwyn ar nawfed blwyddyn o gyni. Heb os, bydd Aelodau ei blaid yn dadlau dros lawer o'r pethau hynny ar lawr y Cynulliad y prynhawn yma, gan ofyn am fwy o arian ar gyfer y peth hwn a'r peth arall, a mwy o arian ar gyfer rhywbeth arall wedyn. Yr hyn y mae'n rhaid i mi ei wneud yw defnyddio'r swm cyfyngedig iawn o arian a ddaeth inni yng nghyllideb y Canghellor i sicrhau cydbwysedd rhwng y blaenoriaethau sy'n cystadlu, ond rwy'n ailadrodd yr hyn a ddywedais, a'r hyn y mae'r Prif Weinidog wedi'i ddweud: mae anghenion llywodraeth leol Cymru ar flaen ein meddyliau wrth inni fynd i'r afael â'r gwaith anodd hwnnw.
