English: Yes. Thank you, Chair. Just before starting the discussion, I just would like to thank you as a committee for giving us the opportunity to give evidence today. But just to apologise - usually, we as an association would be represented by elected members. This morning, you have officers before you, because, even though the local government elections did take place back in May, as an association, we are waiting until all the councils hold their annual meetings before we elect our leaders, as it were, and we're still in that period now. And, in truth also, the period of your committee inquiry, but also the consultation by the Government on the White Paper, are taking place in that gap following the local government elections. And so what we're stating today is based on the old association, as it were, and the policies that are already in place. We will be discussing later with our new members. But, as I mentioned, I apologise that you have officers with you today, rather than elected members of the association.
Welsh: Ie. Diolch, Gadeirydd. Os yw'n bosibl, jest cyn cychwyn y drafodaeth, gaf i ddiolch i chi fel pwyllgor am roi'r cyfle yma i ni gyflwyno tystiolaeth i chi heddiw? Ond jest i ymddiheuro - fel arfer, fe fydden ni fel cymdeithas yn cael ein cynrychioli gan aelodau etholedig. Y bore yma, swyddogion sydd o'ch blaenau chi, achos, er bod etholiadau llywodraeth leol wedi cymryd lle nôl ym mis Mai, fel cymdeithas, dŷn ni'n aros nes bod pob cyngor yn cynnal eu cyfarfodydd blynyddol cyn ein bod ni'n ethol ein harweinyddiaeth ni, fel petai, a dŷn ni'n dal i fod yn y cyfnod hwnnw. Ac mewn gwirionedd hefyd, mae cyfnod eich ymchwiliad chi fel pwyllgor, ond hefyd ymgynghoriad y Llywodraeth ar y Papur Gwyn, wedi cymryd lle yn y bwlch hwnnw pan fo etholiadau llywodraeth leol wedi cymryd lle. Felly, mae'r hyn dŷn ni'n ei ddatgan heddiw yn seiliedig ar yr hen gymdeithas, fel petai, y polisïau sydd mewn lle. Fe fyddwn ni'n trafod yn hwyrach gyda'n haelodau newydd. Ond hefyd, fel roeddwn i'n sôn, ymddiheuriadau taw swyddogion sydd gyda chi heddiw, yn hytrach nag aelodau etholedig y gymdeithas.
English: Thank you for that explanation, Chris. That's an important point - it's one that we acknowledge, and I'm really grateful to you for joining us. We also note from the evidence we've received that that is a point in the broader context of the White Paper - that the timing, perhaps, is unfortunate, in terms of contributions from members. So, we'll go on to questions, and it may be possible that we'll come back to that in terms of the subjects we want to cover later on. We'll start with Janet Finch-Saunders.
Welsh: Diolch am yr esboniad yna, Chris. Mae hwnna'n bwynt pwysig - mae'n un dŷn ni'n ei gydnabod, a dŷn ni'n ddiolchgar iawn i chi am ymuno â ni. Ac wrth gwrs, dŷn ni'n nodi o'r dystiolaeth dŷn ni wedi ei derbyn bod hwnna'n bwynt yng nghyd-destun ehangach y Papur Gwyn - fod yr amseru, efallai, wedi bod yn anffodus o safbwynt cyfraniad gan aelodau. Iawn, awn ni ymlaen at gwestiynau, ac mae'n bosib y deuwn ni nôl at hwnna ymhlith rhai o'r pynciau dŷn ni eisiau eu trafod yn nes ymlaen. Ac mi gychwynnwn ni gyda Janet Finch-Saunders.
English: Thanks, Chair. Good morning, everyone. A number of the things that we've been discussing intertwine with each other. I'd like to take you back to something that was already brought up, but to look at it perhaps in a little more depth. We've seen that the reasons why people use public transport have developed, that they're changing, and they're still changing, as a result of the pandemic. Chris, you were saying that there's a need to assess people's working patterns because more and more people are deciding to work at home more often, and so on, and also more people are choosing to or want to use public transport more for leisure, rather than just for going into work. I know this has already come up in what's been said, but is there anything more that you'd like to say in terms of whether there's a good understanding at present in local government regarding not just why this is happening, but how this is going to affect planning for bus networks, or anything like that? I know that we've touched on this already, but was there anything else that anyone wanted to add to that?
Welsh: Diolch, Gadeirydd. Bore da, bawb. Mae nifer o'r pethau dŷn ni wedi bod yn eu trafod yn cydblethu mewn i'w gilydd. Roeddwn i eisiau mynd â chi nôl at rywbeth sydd wedi codi yn barod, ond i edrych arno fe efallai mewn bach mwy o ddyfnder. Dŷn ni wedi gweld bod y rhesymau pam mae pobl yn defnyddio trafnidiaeth gyhoeddus wedi datblygu, eu bod nhw'n newid, ac yn dal i wneud, yn sgil y pandemig. Chris, roeddech chi'n dweud bod angen asesu patrymau gwaith pobl achos mae mwy a mwy o bobl yn penderfynu gweithio o gartref yn fwy aml, a phethau fel yna, ond hefyd mae mwy o bobl yn penderfynu defnyddio neu efallai eisiau defnyddio trafnidiaeth gyhoeddus mwy ar gyfer leisure, yn hytrach na dim ond ar gyfer mynd mewn i'r gwaith. Dwi'n gwybod bod hyn wedi codi yn barod yn beth sydd wedi cael ei ddweud, ond oes yna rywbeth mwy byddech chi eisiau ei ddweud am os oes yna ddealltwriaeth dda ar hyn o bryd yn llywodraeth leol pam - ? Wel, na, nid jest pam mae hyn yn digwydd, ond sut mae hyn yn mynd i effeithio ar gynllunio ar gyfer rhwydweithiau bysys, neu unrhyw beth fel yna? Dwi'n cydnabod ein bod ni wedi cyffwrdd â hyn yn barod, ond oedd yna unrhyw beth arall roedd unrhyw un eisiau ei ychwanegu i hynna?
English: Yes, Roger.
Welsh: Ie, Roger.
English: So, item 4 is to move to private session, so I propose in accordance with Standing Order 17.42 (vi) and (ix) that the committee resolves to hold the rest of the meeting in private, if Members are happy with that. Is everyone happy? Yes. Thank you very much. So, we'll move into private session therefore, and we'll take a short break until the broadcast comes to an end.
Welsh: Felly, eitem 4 yw i ni symud i sesiwn breifat, so dwi'n cynnig yn unol â Rheol Sefydlog 17.42 (vi) a (ix) fod y pwyllgor yn penderfynu cynnal gweddill y cyfarfod yn breifat, os yw Aelodau yn fodlon â hynny. Pawb yn fodlon? Hapus? Ie. Diolch yn fawr. Fe wnawn ni symud i sesiwn breifat felly, ac oedi am eiliad tan i'r darllediad ddod i ben.
English: Welcome, everyone, to this final formal meeting of the Senedd's Economy, Trade and Rural Affairs Committee before the recess. The committee is holding an invitation-only stakeholder event at the Royal Welsh Show next Thursday, 21 July, and our next formal meeting will now be held in September. I have received apologies from Sarah Murphy as she is unwell. I haven't received any other apologies. Are there any interests that Members wish to declare at all? Sam Kurtz.
Welsh: Croeso, bawb, i gyfarfod ffurfiol olaf Pwyllgor yr Economi, Masnach a Materion Gwledig cyn y toriad. Mae'r pwyllgor yn cynnal digwyddiad rhanddeiliad trwy wahoddiad yn unig yn Sioe Frenhinol Cymru ddydd Iau nesaf, 21 Gorffennaf, a bydd ein cyfarfod ffurfiol nesaf yn cael ei gynnal nawr ym mis Medi. Dwi wedi derbyn ymddiheuriadau gan Sarah Murphy am ei bod hi'n sâl. Dwi ddim wedi derbyn unrhyw ymddiheuriadau eraill. Oes yna unrhyw fuddiannau yr hoffai Aelodau eu datgan o gwbl? Sam Kurtz.
English: Thank you very much. Anyone else? No.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn. Unrhyw un arall? Nac oes.
English: We move on, therefore, to item 2 on our agenda, which is papers to note. There are a number of papers to note. I'm not going to go through them all, but are there any issues that Members wish to raise arising from these papers at all? I see that there are none.
Welsh: Symudwn ni, felly, i eitem 2 ar yr agenda, sef papurau i'w nodi. Mae yna nifer o bapurau i'w nodi. Dwi ddim yn mynd i fynd trwyddyn nhw i gyd, ond oes rhywbeth yr hoffai Aelodau ei godi o'r papurau yma o gwbl? Nac oes.
English: So, we'll move on to item 3 on our agenda, which is considering the free trade agreement between the UK and New Zealand. This session to discuss the impact of the UK and New Zealand trade agreement on Wales with trade experts was postponed from the 26 May meeting, due to the witnesses not being available. The committee has already taken evidence, on 15 June, from NFU Cymru, the Farmers Union of Wales and the Ministers for rural affairs and the economy. So, may I welcome the witnesses to this session today? May I ask them to introduce themselves for the Record and then we can go straight to questions from Members? Perhaps I could start with Sam Lowe. No, we've lost Sam Lowe, unfortunately. So, we'll go to Emily Rees.
Welsh: Symudwn ni ymlaen, felly, i eitem 3 ar ein hagenda, sef edrych ar y cytundeb masnach rhydd rhwng y Deyrnas Unedig a Seland Newydd. Cafodd y sesiwn hon i drafod effaith cytundeb masnach y Deyrnas Unedig a Seland Newydd ar Gymru gydag arbenigwyr masnach ei gohirio o gyfarfod 26 Mai, gan nad oedd y tystion ar gael. Mae'r pwyllgor eisoes wedi clywed tystiolaeth ar 15 Mehefin gan NFU Cymru, Undeb Amaethwyr Cymru a'r Gweinidogion materion gwledig a'r economi. Gaf i, felly, groesawu'r tystion i'r sesiwn hon heddiw? Gaf i ofyn iddyn nhw gyflwyno eu hunain ar gyfer y Record ac wedyn gallwn ni symud yn syth ymlaen i gwestiynau? Efallai y gallaf i ddechrau gyda Sam Lowe. Na, dwi wedi colli Sam Lowe, yn anffodus. Fe ddof i at Emily Rees.
English: I hope that we can reconnect with Sam Lowe. Do we have technical issues at the moment? If so, perhaps we'll have to postpone proceedings until Sam can reconnect. No, I don't see Sam on my screen, so we will have to take a short break in proceedings until Sam can rejoin.
Welsh: Dwi'n gobeithio y gallwn ni ailgysylltu gyda Sam Lowe. Oes gyda ni broblemau technegol ar hyn o bryd? Os oes, efallai fydd rhaid i ni ohirio pethau hyd nes ein bod ni'n cael Sam yn ôl. Na, dwi ddim yn gweld Sam ar ein sgrin, felly bydd rhaid i ni jest ohirio ein trafodion hyd nes i ni gael Sam yn ôl.
English: Welcome back. The technical issues have now been resolved. May I once again ask our witnesses to introduce themselves for the record? Then we can move straight to questions from Members. We'll start with Emily Rees.
Welsh: Croeso nôl. Mae'r problemau technegol wedi eu sortio. A gaf i unwaith eto ofyn i'n tystion gyflwyno'u hunain ar gyfer y record? Wedyn gallwn ni symud yn syth i gwestiynau. Fe ddechreuaf i gydag Emily Rees.
English: We'll move on therefore to item 4 on our agenda this morning, and I propose, in accordance with Standing Order 17.42, that the committee resolves to exclude the public from the remainder of the meeting. Are Members content? I see that Members are indeed content. So, the motion was agreed, and we'll move into private session.
Welsh: Symudwn ni ymlaen felly i eitem 4 ar ein hagenda, a dwi'n cynnig, o dan Reol Sefydlog 17.42, i wahardd y cyhoedd o weddill y cyfarfod. A yw'r Aelodau'n fodlon? Ydw, dwi'n gweld bod Aelodau yn fodlon. Felly, derbyniwyd y cynnig, ac fe symudwn ni nawr i'n sesiwn breifat.
English: Thank you. I'm going to contribute in Welsh.
Welsh: Diolch. Dwi'n mynd i gyfrannu yn Gymraeg, os ydy hynny'n iawn gyda chi.
English: Is it working? Thank you. The first question is: about eight years ago, the Government established the Welsh Co-operative and Mutuals Commission. In 2014, that commission released a report that made a number of recommendations, and then the Government made a promise to bring legislation forward in order to ensure that people, that communities, had the right to take over assets, and the Government would bring in the Localism Act 2011 as well and utilise that. Why hasn't the Government acted on that pledge made back in 2015?
Welsh: Ydy'r cyfieithu'n gweithio? Gwych. Os caf i, y cwestiwn cyntaf ydy: tua wyth mlynedd yn ôl roedd y Llywodraeth wedi sefydlu'r Welsh Co-operative and Mutuals Commission. Nôl yn 2014, roedd y comisiwn yna wedi rhyddhau adroddiad oedd yn gwneud nifer o argymhellion, ac yna ddaru'r Llywodraeth rhoi addewid i ddod â deddfwriaeth ymlaen er mwyn sicrhau bod gan bobl yr hawl, fod gan gymunedau'r hawl, i gymryd drosodd asedau, ac y buasai'r Llywodraeth yn gweithredu'r Localism Act 2011 hefyd. Pam nad yw'r Llywodraeth wedi gweithredu ar yr addewidion hynny nôl yn 2015?
English: Thank you for those answers. Just to note that it was a promise by the Government, and the party of Government, before the 2016 election, and therefore there has been a term since then, and a legislative programme where it should have been, but it wasn't. So, we're two terms forward now and no development on that, despite the fact that there was evidence then suggesting that this was needed. But this committee's work will help with that, I'm sure. Just to go back to the point that you made, Julie James. You mentioned the LDP. Are you therefore considering that the new LDPs, as new ones come forward, are going to consider the need to empower communities through asset transfer? Is this going to be central? Is this going to be something new, or a new expectation on local authorities?
Welsh: Ocê. Diolch am yr atebion hynny. Jest i nodi ei fod o wedi bod yn addewid gan y Llywodraeth, a phlaid y Llywodraeth, cyn etholiad 2016, ac felly mae yna dymor wedi bod ers hynny efo rhaglen ddeddfwriaethol lle ddylai wedi bod, lle roedd o i fod, ond doedd o ddim. Felly, rydyn ni ddau dymor ymlaen rŵan a does yn dal ddim datblygiad ar hynny, er gwaethaf y ffaith bod yna dystiolaeth bryd hynny'n awgrymu fod angen hyn. Ond mi fydd gwaith y pwyllgor yma yn help, dwi'n sicr. Jest i fynd nôl at bwynt y Gweinidog, Julie James. Roeddech chi'n sôn am yr LDP. Ydych chi felly yn ystyried bod yr LDPs newydd, wrth fod rhai newydd yn dod ymlaen, yn mynd i ystyried yr angen i rymuso cymunedau drwy drosglwyddo asedau? Ydy hyn yn mynd i fod yn ganolog? Ydy o'n rhywbeth newydd, yn ddisgwyliad newydd ar awdurdodau lleol?
English: If I could ask you a question on private sector assets now too. I have an example in my own constituency, where the community of Pennal is coming together now to buy the local community pub and hotel. If anyone is interested in buying shares in that company, then get in touch with the folks of Pennal. [ Laughter.] But there are a number of similar examples where garages and cinemas, which are private assets, come up for sale. And the evidence that we've received from community and co-operative initiatives says that they sometimes find it difficult to bid to buy these assets because they're for sale on the open market. They see a value in that asset or building, but then a private purchaser comes in and turns it into a house in multiple occupation or something else. So, are there steps that you think should be taken, or do steps need to be put in place to assist communities to take ownership of private sector assets?
Welsh: A gaf i holi cwestiwn ar asedau preifat hefyd, os gwelwch yn dda? Mae gen i enghraifft yn fy etholaeth i, lle mae cymuned Pennal yn trio dod ynghyd rŵan i brynu'r dafarn a'r gwesty cymunedol. Os oes gan unrhyw un ddiddordeb mewn prynu siâr yn y cwmni yna, cysylltwch efo pobl Pennal. [ Chwerthin.] Ond mae yna nifer o enghreifftiau tebyg lle mae garejis a sinemâu, ac yn y blaen, asedau preifat, yn dod i fyny. Ac mae'r dystiolaeth rydyn ni wedi ei chael gan fentrau cydweithredol a chymunedol yn dweud eu bod nhw yn ei ffeindio fo'n anodd weithiau i roi cais i'w prynu nhw achos eu bod nhw'n mynd ar y farchnad agored. Maen nhw fel cymuned yn gweld gwerth yn yr adeilad neu'r ased yna, ond mae yna rywun preifat yn dod i mewn ac yn ei brynu o ac yn ei drosi yn dŷ amlfeddiannaeth neu'n rhywbeth arall. A oes yna gamau rydych chi'n meddwl y dylid eu cymryd, neu a oes angen rhoi camau mewn lle i gynorthwyo cymunedau i fynd ati a chael perchnogaeth ar asedau o'r sector preifat?
English: If I may, the problem with something like that is that a community initiative doesn't necessarily have the time to have that conversation with the local authority on mortgage or lending, so when they're bringing the initiative together and bringing the community together, developing a business plan, putting the bid in, that takes months and then, in that period, somebody from the private sector will have come in and purchased it and turned it into a HMO or something. In Scotland, there is legislation for giving the first right of refusal to a community. I was thinking along those lines.
Welsh: Os caf i, trafferth rhywbeth tebyg i hynny ydy does gan y fenter gymunedol ddim mo'r amser i fynd ati i gael sgwrs efo'r awdurdod lleol er mwyn rhoi morgais yn ei le, benthyciad, ac yn y blaen, oherwydd erbyn yr amser eu bod nhw'n dod â'r fenter ynghyd, tynnu'r gymuned ynghyd, datblygu cynllun busnes, rhoi'r cais i mewn, mae hynna'n fisoedd, yna bydd rhywun preifat wedi dod i mewn ac yna'i brynu fo a'i drosi mewn i HMO neu rywbeth. Yn yr Alban, mae yna ddeddfwriaeth mewn lle yn rhoi first right of refusal i gymuned, er enghraifft. Meddwl ar hyd y llinellau hynny oeddwn i.
English: I do have another question, but I'll see if there's time at the end.
Welsh: Mae gen i gwestiwn, ond caf i weld os bydd amser wedyn.
English: I have one further question. You mentioned earlier the list of assets. Minister, you said that you're not certain of that plan, but, Richard, you mentioned that e-PIMS exists, the Space Cymru portal, and that every local authority has a list of assets. We've had a large number of experts who work in this field before us and speaking to us. None of them have mentioned these lists. So, it shows that they're either not aware of them, or they're not sufficient. So, don't you see, therefore, the need to try and draw this information that's obviously available here and there, and to bring it together and promote it better? Isn't that something that should be done?
Welsh: Un cwestiwn pellach oedd gen i, os gwelwch yn dda. Roeddech chi yn sôn yn gynharach am y rhestr asedau. Roeddech chi, Weinidog, yn sôn nad oeddech chi'n sicr o'r cynllun yna, ond ddaru chi, Richard, sôn bod e-PIMS yn bodoli, y Space Cymru portal, a bod gan bob awdurdod lleol restr o asedau. Dŷn ni wedi cael nifer fawr o arbenigwyr yn y maes, pobl sy'n gweithio yn y maes yma, o'n blaen ni, ac wedi siarad efo nhw. Does dim un ohonyn wedi sôn am y rhestrau yna. Mae'n ymddangos bod nhw naill ai ddim yn ymwybodol ohonyn nhw, neu bod nhw ddim yn ddigonol. Felly, dŷch chi ddim yn gweld yr angen i drio tynnu'r wybodaeth yma, sydd yn amlwg ar gael yma ac acw, ynghyd â'i hyrwyddo fo'n well? Ydy hwnna ddim yn rhywbeth ddylsai gael ei wneud?
English: Welcome to this Plenary session. Before we begin, I want to set out a few points. This meeting will be held in a hybrid format, with some Members in the Senedd Chamber and others joining by video-conference. All Members participating in proceedings of the Senedd, wherever they may be, will be treated equally. A Plenary meeting held using video-conference, in accordance with the Standing Orders of the Welsh Parliament, constitutes Senedd proceedings for the purposes of the Government of Wales Act 2006. Some of the provisions of Standing Order 34 will apply for today's Plenary meeting, and these are noted on the agenda. Before we move to the first item, I'd like to announce the result of the Member Bill ballot held today. I'm pleased to announce that Sam Rowlands may seek the Senedd's agreement on his proposal for an outdoor education Wales Bill.
Welsh: Croeso, bawb, i'r Cyfarfod Llawn. Cyn i ni ddechrau, fe hoffwn nodi ychydig o bwyntiau. Cynhelir y cyfarfod hwn ar ffurf hybrid, gyda rhai Aelodau yn Siambr y Senedd ac eraill yn ymuno drwy gyswllt fideo. Bydd yr holl Aelodau sy'n cymryd rhan yn nhrafodion y Senedd, ble bynnag y bônt, yn cael eu trin yn gyfartal. Mae Cyfarfod Llawn a gynhelir drwy gynhadledd fideo, yn unol â Rheolau Sefydlog Senedd Cymru, yn gyfystyr â thrafodion y Senedd at ddibenion Deddf Llywodraeth Cymru 2006. Bydd rhai o ddarpariaethau Rheol Sefydlog 34 yn gymwys ar gyfer Cyfarfod Llawn heddiw. Nodir y rhain ar yr agenda. Cyn symud i'r eitem gyntaf, hoffwn gyhoeddi canlyniad y balot ar gyfer Bil Aelod a gynhaliwyd heddiw. Mae'n bleser gennyf gyhoeddi y gall Sam Rowlands ofyn am gytundeb y Senedd ar ei gynnig ar gyfer Bil addysg awyr agored Cymru.
English: Diolch for the question. We are actively working with our regional partners, including Ambition North Wales, to maximise opportunities for the region. The collaboratively produced regional economic framework for north Wales was published last December. This sets out our shared priorities for the region and will form the basis of an agreed delivery plan.
Welsh: Diolch am eich cwestiwn. Rydym yn mynd ati'n weithredol i weithio gyda'n partneriaid rhanbarthol, gan gynnwys Uchelgais Gogledd Cymru, i sicrhau'r cyfleoedd gorau posibl ar gyfer y rhanbarth. Cyhoeddwyd y fframwaith economaidd rhanbarthol ar gyfer gogledd Cymru, a gynhyrchwyd ar y cyd, fis Rhagfyr diwethaf. Mae'n nodi'r blaenoriaethau a rennir gennym ar gyfer y rhanbarth a bydd yn sail i gynllun cyflawni y cytunwyd arno.
English: Well, thank you for that response.
Welsh: Wel, diolch i chi am yr ateb.
English: The new census results are highlighting how many local authorities across north Wales are actually experiencing a decrease in population. We're also seeing the population aged over 65 in Wales increasing and the population of people aged 15 to 25 actually fell during the census period. Now, yesterday, the First Minister effectively denied the existence of a clear trend of losing many young people from our communities across Wales, and not only people moving out of Wales, but moving from rural into urban communities, from north to south Wales. What risk do you think that poses to economic growth in my region of north Wales, and what's the Government doing to try and tackle that problem?
Welsh: Mae canlyniadau'r cyfrifiad newydd yn dangos bod y boblogaeth yn gostwng mewn nifer o awdurdodau lleol ar draws gogledd Cymru. Rydym hefyd yn gweld y boblogaeth dros 65 oed yng Nghymru yn cynyddu, ac mae'r boblogaeth 15 i 25 oed wedi gostwng yn ystod cyfnod y cyfrifiad. Nawr, ddoe, gwadodd y Prif Weinidog, i bob pwrpas, fod tuedd glir lle rydym yn colli llawer o bobl ifanc o'n cymunedau ledled Cymru, ac nid yn unig pobl yn symud allan o Gymru, ond pobl yn symud o gymunedau gwledig i gymunedau trefol, o'r gogledd i'r de. Pa risg y mae hynny'n ei pheri, yn eich barn chi, i dwf economaidd yn fy rhanbarth yn y gogledd, a beth y mae'r Llywodraeth yn ei wneud i geisio mynd i'r afael â'r broblem honno?
English: The Minister, I'm sure, will have seen the recent announcement from Rolls-Royce that Deeside is one of six locations shortlisted for the first small nuclear reactor factory. Now, the reality is that nuclear power will have a role to play in ending our reliance on fossil fuels, and the Minister and Members will know that we do have a highly skilled workforce in the north-east of Wales required for such bids. And I say that with pride as a Member who previously has worked in the manufacturing and engineering industry in Deeside alongside colleagues in that sector, and I am proud to be able to say that. Minister, this is a chance to increase economic growth not just in Alyn and Deeside, but right across north Wales. Therefore, can I ask you, Minister, what the Welsh Government can do to support such a bid?
Welsh: Rwy'n siŵr y bydd y Gweinidog wedi gweld y cyhoeddiad diweddar gan Rolls-Royce fod Glannau Dyfrdwy yn un o chwe lleoliad ar y rhestr fer i agor y ffatri adweithyddion niwclear fach gyntaf. Nawr, y gwir amdani yw y bydd gan ynni niwclear ran i'w chwarae yn y broses o roi diwedd ar ein dibyniaeth ar danwydd ffosil, a bydd y Gweinidog a'r Aelodau'n gwybod bod gennym y gweithlu medrus iawn sydd ei angen ar gyfer ceisiadau o'r fath yng ngogledd-ddwyrain Cymru. A dywedaf hynny gyda balchder fel Aelod sydd wedi gweithio yn y diwydiant gweithgynhyrchu a pheirianneg yng Nglannau Dyfrdwy yn flaenorol ochr yn ochr â chydweithwyr yn y sector hwnnw, ac rwy'n falch o allu dweud hynny. Weinidog, mae hwn yn gyfle i gynyddu twf economaidd, nid yn unig yn Alun a Glannau Dyfrdwy, ond ar draws y gogledd. Felly, Weinidog, a gaf fi ofyn i chi beth y gall Llywodraeth Cymru ei wneud i gefnogi cais o'r fath?
