English: Thank you, Cabinet Secretary. I could, of course, have asked you about support for small businesses, and we know that there was around £25 million as a result of the UK budget - that, across the border in England, money is being used to reduce business rates for businesses with a rateable value of up to £50,000 by a third. And I'll keep that one for another day. [ Interruption.] But you may well - [ Interruption.] I'm trying to establish whether or not you agree with the Cabinet Secretary for Local Government and Public Services, because he certainly has changed his tune somewhat on the issue of reserves. Last year he said that he would always hesitate before he would seek to impose upon local government. Now he's stated, in his written statement, that local authorities with high levels of reserves to their spending should review the purposes for which these are held, and that the purposes for holding the reserves, particularly where they are increasing, should be communicated clearly. So, that's not just me saying that, or this side of the Chamber; that's your colleague, the Cabinet Secretary for public services. So, isn't it fair to say, Cabinet Secretary, that, in light of potentially large council tax increases in some local authorities, council tax payers will be wondering why there is so much held in reserve, and, if this issue was sorted out, then - yes, it is a small cake at the moment, and you're right, there have been difficult challenges for local government, but perhaps if some of this money was used then there wouldn't be such a burden on other areas.
Welsh: Diolch, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet. Wrth gwrs, buaswn wedi gallu eich holi ynglŷn â chymorth ar gyfer busnesau bach, a gwyddom fod oddeutu £25 miliwn o ganlyniad i gyllideb y DU - fod arian yn cael ei ddefnyddio dros y ffin yn Lloegr i sicrhau bod ardrethi busnes draean yn is ar gyfer busnesau â gwerth ardrethol o hyd at £50,000. Ac fe gadwaf hynny at ddiwrnod arall. [ Torri ar draws.] Ond efallai eich bod - [ Torri ar draws.] Rwy'n ceisio sefydlu a ydych yn cytuno gydag Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Lywodraeth Leol a Gwasanaethau Cyhoeddus, gan ei fod ef, yn sicr, wedi newid ei dôn braidd ar fater cronfeydd wrth gefn. Y llynedd, dywedodd y byddai bob amser yn petruso cyn gosod baich ar lywodraeth leol. Mae wedi dweud yn awr, yn ei ddatganiad ysgrifenedig, y dylai awdurdodau lleol gyda lefelau uchel o gronfeydd wrth gefn adolygu'r dibenion y cedwir yr arian hwn ar eu cyfer, ac y dylid cyfleu'r rhesymau dros gadw'r cronfeydd wrth gefn yn glir, yn enwedig os ydynt yn cynyddu. Felly, nid fi yn unig sy'n dweud hynny, neu'r ochr hon i'r Siambr; eich cyd-Aelod, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros wasanaethau cyhoeddus, a ddywedodd hynny. Felly, onid yw'n deg dweud, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, yng ngoleuni cryn gynnydd posibl yn y dreth gyngor mewn rhai awdurdodau lleol, y bydd talwyr y dreth gyngor yn pendroni pam fod cymaint o arian wedi'i gadw wrth gefn, a phe bai'r mater hwn yn cael ei ddatrys, yna - ydy, mae'n gacen fach ar hyn o bryd, ac rydych yn llygad eich lle, mae llywodraeth leol wedi wynebu heriau anodd, ond efallai na fyddai cymaint o bwysau ar feysydd eraill pe bai peth o'r arian hwn yn cael ei ddefnyddio.
