English: Thank you, Commissioner. I'm sorry, we have run out of time. We did have some questions in terms of the assurance report. Would you be happy for us to write to you with our questions on that? Because I don't think we can do that broad area justice in five minutes.
Welsh: Diolch ichi, Gomisiynydd. Mae'n flin iawn gen i, rydyn ni wedi rhedeg mas o amser, jest â bod. Roedd gennym ni rai cwestiynau o ran yr adroddiad sicrwydd. A fyddech chi'n hapus inni ysgrifennu atoch chi gyda'n cwestiynau ar hynny? Achos dwi ddim yn meddwl y byddwn ni'n gallu gwneud cyfiawnder â'r maes eang o fewn pum munud.
English: Of course, yes. And if there are any further questions emerging from our evidence, then I'd be more than happy to get back to you.
Welsh: Byddem, wrth gwrs. Ac os oes yna unrhyw gwestiynau pellach yn deillio o'n hymateb ni, rydyn ni'n fwy na pharod i ddod yn ôl.
English: Excellent. Thank you very much. Unless any Member has any further questions - I don't see any Member indicating. So, may I thank you and Dyfan and Gwenith for providing evidence this morning? There are a number of points that we've noted where we will be asking for further information from you, and the clerks will also send you a transcript. But for the time being, thank you very much, and I'm sure we will be in touch again very soon.
Welsh: Grêt. Diolch yn fawr iawn. Oni bai bod gan Aelod unrhyw gwestiwn pellach - dwi ddim yn gweld unrhyw Aelod yn codi llaw. A gaf i ddiolch i chi ac i Dyfan a Gwenith hefyd am roi tystiolaeth i ni y bore yma? Mae yna nifer o bwyntiau dŷn ni wedi cymryd nodyn ohonyn nhw lle y byddwn ni'n gofyn am fwy o wybodaeth gennych chi, a bydd y clercod hefyd yn danfon transgript atoch chi o'r hyn dŷch chi wedi ei ddweud. Ond am nawr, diolch yn fawr iawn i'r tri ohonoch chi, a dwi'n siŵr y byddwn ni mewn cysylltiad eto yn fuan iawn.
English: We'll move on to item 5, papers to note. We have a number of papers to note. Item 5.1, a letter from the Minister for Social Justice to the Chair of this committee and the Chair of the Equality and Social Justice Committee on the Welsh Government's response to the Afghan refugee crisis. Item 5.2, a letter from the Deputy Minister for Arts and Sport, and Chief Whip to the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport on the ownership of Channel 4. Item 5.3, a letter from the Welsh Language Commissioner to the Chair of the Local Government and Housing Committee. Item 5.4, a letter to the Welsh Government following the ministerial session with the Minister for the Economy and the Deputy Minister for Arts and Sport, and Chief Whip. And finally, item 5.5, a letter to the Welsh Government on the impact of the sale of Bad Wolf. Are Members content to note those papers? Excellent.
Welsh: Fe wnawn ni symud ymlaen, Aelodau, at eitem 5, sef papurau i'w nodi. Mae yna sawl papur gyda ni i'w nodi heddiw. Eitem 5.1, sef llythyr gan y Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol at Gadeirydd y pwyllgor yma a Chadeirydd y Pwyllgor Cydraddoldeb a Chyfiawnder Cymdeithasol ar argyfwng ffoaduriaid Afghanistan. Eitem 5.2, llythyr gan Ddirprwy Weinidog y Celfyddydau a Chwaraeon, a'r Prif Chwip at yr Ysgrifennydd Gwladol dros Dechnoleg Ddigidol, Diwylliant, y Cyfryngau a Chwaraeon am berchnogaeth Channel 4. Eitem 5.3, llythyr gan gomisiynydd y Gymraeg at Gadeirydd y Pwyllgor Llywodraeth Leol a Thai. Eitem 5.4, llythyr at Lywodraeth Cymru yn dilyn y sesiwn graffu roedden ni wedi ei chael gyda Gweinidog yr Economi a Dirprwy Weinidog y Celfyddydau a Chwaraeon, a'r Prif Chwip. Ac yn olaf, eitem 5.5, llythyr at Lywodraeth Cymru ar effaith gwerthu Bad Wolf. Ydy'r Aelodau'n fodlon nodi'r papurau hynny? Grêt.
English: We'll move to item 6, a motion to exclude the public for the remainder of the meeting. In accordance with Standing Order 17.42, I propose that the committee resolves to exclude the public from the remainder of the meeting. Are Members content? Yes. We will move into private session, and I will await confirmation from our engineers that we have entered a private session.
Welsh: Rydyn ni'n symud at eitem 6, sef cynnig i wahardd y cyhoedd o weddill y cyfarfod. Yn unol â Rheol Sefydlog 17.42, rwy'n cynnig bod y pwyllgor yn penderfynu gwahardd y cyhoedd o weddill y cyfarfod. Ydy'r Aelodau yn fodlon derbyn y cynnig? Ie. Ocê. Os felly, mi wnawn ni yn awr barhau yn breifat, ac mi wna i aros i glywed gan y peirianwyr ein bod ni yn breifat.
English: Thank you, Minister, for attending. I'd like to thank you all for attending this morning. It has been excellent to listen to your responses and it's good that we have come together like this to discuss these important issues. We look forward to seeing the budget when it comes out and to scrutinising it in detail. But thank you for giving your time this morning. We'll take a short break now in order to set things up for the next session. Thank you very much for attending.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn, Weinidog, am ddod yma. Diolch yn fawr i'r tri ohonoch chi am ddod yma y bore yma. Mae wedi bod yn wych i wrando ar eich atebion chi ac mae'n dda ein bod ni'n gallu dod at ein gilydd fel hyn i drafod. Rydyn ni'n edrych ymlaen at weld y budget pan mae'n dod allan, er mwyn inni graffu'n fanwl arno. Ond diolch i chi am roi eich amser i ni y bore yma. Fe gawn ni egwyl fer rŵan, er mwyn setio pethau i fyny ar gyfer y sesiynau nesaf. Diolch yn fawr am ddod.
English: Thank you for attending.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn i chi am ddod.
English: I propose in accordance with Standing Order 17.42 that the committee resolves to exclude the public from the remainder of this meeting and for meetings in the future until we hear differently. Are all Members content with that?
Welsh: Dwi'n cynnig yn unol â Rheol Sefydlog 17.42 fod y pwyllgor yn penderfynu gwahardd y cyhoedd o weddill y cyfarfod hwn ac ar gyfer cyfarfodydd y dyfodol hyd nes y clywir yn wahanol. Ydy pawb yn fodlon efo hynny, Aelodau?
English: Welcome to this Plenary session. Before we begin, I want to set out a few points. This meeting will be held in 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 equitably. 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 meeting, and those are noted on your agenda. I would also remind Members that Standing Orders relating to order in Plenary meetings apply to this meeting, and apply equally to Members in the Chamber as to those joining virtually.
Welsh: Croeso, bawb, y prynhawn yma i'r Cyfarfod Llawn. Cyn inni ddechrau, dwi eisiau nodi ychydig o bwyntiau. Cynhelir y cyfarfod hwn ar ffurf hybrid, gyda rhai Aelodau yn y Siambr ac eraill yn ymuno drwy gyswllt fideo. Bydd yr holl Aelodau, ble bynnag y byddan nhw'n cymryd rhan a 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, ac mae'r rheini wedi'u nodi ar eich agenda chi. Dwi eisiau hefyd atgoffa'r Aelodau fod y Rheolau Sefydlog sy'n ymwneud â threfn yn berthnasol i'r cyfarfod yma, ac yr un mor berthnasol i'r Aelodau yn y Siambr ag i'r rhai sy'n ymuno drwy gyswllt fideo.
English: The first item is questions to the Minister for Economy, and the first question is from Paul Davies.
Welsh: Cwestiynau i Weinidog yr Economi yw'r cwestiynau cyntaf y prynhawn yma, ac mae'r cwestiwn cyntaf gan Paul Davies.
English: Thank you. Our priorities are about promoting a greener, more equal and prosperous economy for all parts of Wales, including Preseli Pembrokeshire, as we continue to work closely with Pembrokeshire County Council and partners on the development of the regional economic framework.
Welsh: Diolch. Mae ein blaenoriaethau'n ymwneud â hyrwyddo economi wyrddach, fwy cyfartal a llewyrchus i bob rhan o Gymru, gan gynnwys Preseli Sir Benfro, wrth inni barhau i weithio'n agos gyda Chyngor Sir Penfro a phartneriaid ar ddatblygu'r fframwaith economaidd rhanbarthol.
English: I'm grateful for that response. You mentioned Pembrokeshire County Council. Obviously, its regeneration strategy for 2020-30 makes it very clear that the local economy is heavily dependent on a few sectors, such as tourism. But despite large visitor numbers, the main towns don't have a vibrant retail or leisure offer and in economic terms are still declining. Indeed, the strategy also states that when Haven Waterway enterprise zone board were asked for their No. 1 priority to achieve economic regeneration, their answer was, 'Infrastructure, infrastructure, infrastructure'. Therefore, Minister, can you tell us what the Welsh Government is doing to invest in Pembrokeshire's town centres and can you tell us what infrastructure improvements the Welsh Government will be spearheading over the next 12 months in order to stimulate the local economy in Pembrokeshire?
Welsh: Diolch am eich ymateb. Fe sonioch am Gyngor Sir Penfro. Yn amlwg, mae eu strategaeth adfywio ar gyfer 2020-2030 yn nodi'n glir iawn fod yr economi leol yn ddibynnol iawn ar rai sectorau, megis twristiaeth. Ond er y nifer fawr o ymwelwyr, nid oes gan y prif drefi gynnig bywiog o ran manwerthu na hamdden ac mewn termau economaidd maent yn dal i ddirywio. Yn wir, mae'r strategaeth hefyd yn nodi, pan ofynnwyd i fwrdd ardal fenter Dyfrffordd y Ddau Gleddau beth oedd eu prif flaenoriaeth er mwyn cyflawni adfywiad economaidd, eu hateb oedd, 'Seilwaith, seilwaith, seilwaith'. Felly, Weinidog, a allwch ddweud wrthym beth y mae Llywodraeth Cymru'n ei wneud i fuddsoddi yng nghanol trefi sir Benfro, ac a allwch ddweud wrthym pa welliannau seilwaith y bydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn eu harwain dros y 12 mis nesaf er mwyn hybu'r economi leol yn sir Benfro?
English: Thank you for the question. As you know, nationally, we've invested over £6.5 million as part of our Transforming Towns initiative. For Pembrokeshire itself, for the three designated towns of Pembroke, Haverfordwest and Milford Haven, there is £2.75 million in loan support to help develop town centres. So, it's part of working with the council to understand what they want to be able to deliver alongside us to help have a vibrant future for retail offers within our town centres, to generate footfall, as indeed we look to have more centres for people to work from as well. So, this is a genuine effort in partnership with local authorities and the people running those towns with the Welsh Government.
Welsh: Diolch am eich cwestiwn. Fel y gwyddoch, yn genedlaethol, rydym wedi buddsoddi dros £6.5 miliwn fel rhan o'n menter Trawsnewid Trefi. O ran sir Benfro ei hun, ar gyfer y tair tref ddynodedig sef Penfro, Hwlffordd ac Aberdaugleddau, mae £2.75 miliwn ar gael mewn cymorth benthyciad i helpu i ddatblygu canol y trefi. Felly, mae'n rhan o weithio gyda'r cyngor i ddeall yr hyn y maent yn dymuno gallu ei gyflawni gyda ni er mwyn helpu i sicrhau dyfodol bywiog i gynigion manwerthu yng nghanol ein trefi, i gynyddu nifer yr ymwelwyr, wrth inni geisio cael mwy o ganolfannau i bobl weithio ynddynt hefyd yn wir. Felly, mae hon yn ymdrech go iawn mewn partneriaeth ag awdurdodau lleol a'r bobl sy'n rhedeg y trefi hynny gyda Llywodraeth Cymru.
English: I can confirm that my officials drafted the 'Keep Wales safe at work' guidance, and in doing so consulted health and social services colleagues. This guidance was then discussed and approved at Cabinet. The guidance sets out the obligations on people responsible for premises open to the public or where work takes place, and reasonable measures that must be assessed and risk assessments completed with their staff and their representatives.
Welsh: Gallaf gadarnhau bod fy swyddogion wedi drafftio canllawiau 'Diogelu Cymru yn y gwaith', ac wrth wneud hynny, wedi ymgynghori â chydweithwyr yn y maes iechyd a gwasanaethau cymdeithasol. Cafodd y canllawiau eu trafod a'u cymeradwyo wedyn gan y Cabinet. Mae'r canllawiau'n nodi'r rhwymedigaethau ar bobl sy'n gyfrifol am adeiladau sy'n agored i'r cyhoedd neu lle mae gwaith yn digwydd, a mesurau rhesymol y mae'n rhaid eu hasesu ac asesiadau risg y mae'n rhaid eu cwblhau gyda'u staff a'u cynrychiolwyr.
English: Thank you, Minister, for that initial answer. I've received a letter from the Public and Commercial Services union raising, and I quote, 'real concerns about safety being compromised by Department for Work and Pensions management in Newport, recklessly putting both staff and claimants at risk at Newport jobcentre'. The letter notes a series of concerning issues, Minister, relating to a lack of physical distancing, poor ventilation and cuts to cleaning. Two members of staff are, as I understand, being compelled to work in the jobcentre when they are close contacts of children in their households who've tested positive for COVID. With the imminent ending of furlough, there will be presumably even more pressure on DWP services and we could see even more people being brought into these unsafe spaces and an increase in COVID in the community. Would you agree with me, Minister, that public sector workers deserve certainty and security when it comes to knowing they won't be put in dangerous situations at work? And finally, Minister, what urgent actions will you take to protect workers and claimants at Newport jobcentre and centres across Wales to ensure safety standards are enforced and that not one member of staff or the public are put at increased risk?
Welsh: Diolch am eich ateb cychwynnol, Weinidog. Cefais lythyr gan undeb y Gwasanaethau Cyhoeddus a Masnachol yn mynegi, ac rwy'n dyfynnu, 'pryderon gwirioneddol ynghylch diogelwch yn cael ei beryglu gan reolwyr yr Adran Gwaith a Phensiynau yng Nghasnewydd, gan roi staff a hawlwyr mewn perygl yng nghanolfan waith Casnewydd mewn modd byrbwyll'. Mae'r llythyr yn nodi cyfres o faterion pryderus, Weinidog, sy'n ymwneud â diffyg mesurau cadw pellter cymdeithasol, awyru gwael a thoriadau i lanhau. Yn ôl yr hyn a ddeallaf, mae dau aelod o staff yn cael eu gorfodi i weithio yn y ganolfan waith er eu bod mewn cysylltiad agos â phlant yn eu cartrefi sydd wedi profi'n bositif am COVID. Gyda diwedd y cynllun ffyrlo ar fin digwydd, mae'n debyg y bydd mwy fyth o bwysau ar wasanaethau'r Adran Gwaith a Phensiynau a gallem weld mwy fyth o bobl yn dod i mewn i'r lleoedd anniogel hyn a chynnydd mewn COVID yn y gymuned. A fyddech yn cytuno â mi, Weinidog, fod gweithwyr y sector cyhoeddus yn haeddu eu diogelu a sicrwydd na fyddant yn cael eu rhoi mewn sefyllfaoedd peryglus yn y gwaith? Ac yn olaf, Weinidog, pa gamau brys y byddwch yn eu cymryd i ddiogelu gweithwyr a hawlwyr yng nghanolfan waith Casnewydd a chanolfannau ledled Cymru i sicrhau bod safonau diogelwch yn cael eu gorfodi ac nad oes unrhyw aelod o staff na'r cyhoedd yn cael eu rhoi mewn mwy o berygl?
English: Minister, you've probably covered most of this anyway in what you've just said, but the pandemic meant that many conventional working methods were severely impacted, and one of those methods that was turned upside down was working from the office. Homeworking, according to the Royal Society for Public Health, is having an adverse impact on many people's mental health, with 56 per cent of those asked saying they found it harder to switch off whilst working from home, and 67 per cent saying they felt less connected to colleagues. Whilst homeworking may be beneficial to business and organisations, and perhaps society as a whole at the moment, it's clear that employees using their houses as makeshift offices is not only potentially harmful to the economy, but it's also damaging to their mental health. Will the Minister outline what steps are being taken to encourage more people to perhaps start working from the office again? And that could apply to this place also.
Welsh: Weinidog, mae'n debyg eich bod wedi cyfeirio at y rhan fwyaf o hyn beth bynnag yn yr hyn yr ydych newydd ei ddweud, ond mae'r pandemig wedi cael effaith ddifrifol ar lawer o ddulliau gweithio confensiynol, ac un o'r dulliau hynny oedd gweithio yn y swyddfa. Mae gweithio gartref, yn ôl Cymdeithas Frenhinol Iechyd y Cyhoedd, yn cael effaith andwyol ar iechyd meddwl llawer o bobl, gyda 56 y cant o'r bobl a holwyd yn dweud eu bod yn ei chael hi'n anoddach ymlacio wrth weithio gartref, a 67 y cant yn dweud eu bod yn teimlo llai o gysylltiad â'u cydweithwyr. Er y gall gweithio gartref fod yn fuddiol i fusnesau a sefydliadau, ac efallai i'r gymdeithas yn gyffredinol ar hyn o bryd, mae'n amlwg y gallai sefyllfa lle mae gweithwyr yn defnyddio eu tai fel swyddfeydd dros dro fod yn niweidiol nid yn unig i'r economi, ond hefyd i'w hiechyd meddwl. A wnaiff y Gweinidog amlinellu pa gamau sy'n cael eu cymryd i annog mwy o bobl i ddechrau gweithio yn y swyddfa eto, efallai? A gallai hynny fod yn berthnasol i'r lle hwn hefyd.
English: The Conservative spokesperson next, and it's Paul Davies.
Welsh: Llefarydd y Ceidwadwyr i ofyn y cwestiynau gan y llefarwyr nesaf. Paul Davies.
English: Diolch, Llywydd. Minister, after a year and a half, as you know, the coronavirus job retention scheme is now coming to an end. Now, the furlough scheme has been an enormous support to thousands of businesses and people across Wales throughout the pandemic, and as that scheme now comes to an end, there will be some very serious challenges for some businesses and employers. Of course, the Welsh Government will have known for some time that the job retention scheme is now set to end and has had time to consider how it can now best support Welsh businesses going forward. Therefore, Minister, what assessment have you made of recent labour market trends to identify the types of workers and businesses that might find difficulty once the furlough scheme ends? And can you tell us what the Welsh Government has been planning to do to support businesses that may face labour market challenges in the coming months?
Welsh: Diolch, Lywydd. Weinidog, ar ôl blwyddyn a hanner, fel y gwyddoch, mae'r cynllun cadw swyddi drwy gyfnod y coronafeirws bellach yn dod i ben. Nawr, mae'r cynllun ffyrlo wedi bod yn gymorth aruthrol i filoedd o fusnesau a phobl ledled Cymru drwy gydol y pandemig, ac wrth i'r cynllun hwnnw ddirwyn i ben yn awr, bydd rhai busnesau a chyflogwyr yn wynebu heriau difrifol iawn. Wrth gwrs, bydd Llywodraeth Cymru wedi gwybod ers peth amser fod y cynllun cadw swyddi ar fin dod i ben ac wedi cael amser i ystyried y ffordd orau y gall gefnogi busnesau Cymru yn y dyfodol. Felly, Weinidog, pa asesiad a wnaethoch o dueddiadau diweddar y farchnad lafur er mwyn nodi'r mathau o weithwyr a busnesau a allai wynebu trafferthion pan ddaw'r cynllun ffyrlo i ben? Ac a allwch ddweud wrthym beth y mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi bod yn ei gynllunio er mwyn cefnogi busnesau a allai wynebu heriau mewn perthynas â'r farchnad lafur dros y misoedd nesaf?
English: But, Minister, as we emerge from the pandemic, the Welsh Government must now publish its strategy for supporting businesses. The programme for government claims to support Welsh businesses to create new jobs, find new export markets and invest in the sustainable green industries of tomorrow. But, Minister, there's been very little evidence of any of this activity taking place, and we're yet to see a clear vision on how the Welsh Government intends to build the Welsh economy post pandemic. So, can you, therefore, tell us when the Welsh Government's economic strategy will actually be published so that businesses can see the Welsh Government's direction of travel post pandemic? And, in light of your programme for government, can you tell us what targets you've set yourself to deliver new jobs, new export markets and new investments in Wales? Because, if you are as ambitious as you say you are, then, surely, you must have set these benchmarks to monitor your progress as a Government.
Welsh: Ond Weinidog, wrth inni gefnu ar y pandemig, mae'n rhaid i Lywodraeth Cymru gyhoeddi ei strategaeth yn awr ar gyfer cefnogi busnesau. Mae'r rhaglen lywodraethu'n honni ei bod yn cefnogi busnesau Cymru i greu swyddi newydd, dod o hyd i farchnadoedd allforio newydd a buddsoddi yn niwydiannau gwyrdd cynaliadwy y dyfodol. Ond Weinidog, ychydig iawn o dystiolaeth a gafwyd bod y gweithgarwch hwn yn digwydd o gwbl, ac nid ydym wedi gweld gweledigaeth glir eto ynglŷn â sut y mae Llywodraeth Cymru'n bwriadu adeiladu economi Cymru ar ôl y pandemig. Felly, a allwch ddweud wrthym pryd y bydd strategaeth economaidd Llywodraeth Cymru yn cael ei chyhoeddi fel y gall busnesau weld cyfeiriad teithio Llywodraeth Cymru ar ôl y pandemig? Ac yng ngoleuni eich rhaglen lywodraethu, a allwch ddweud wrthym pa dargedau a osodwyd gennych i chi eich hunain ar gyfer creu swyddi newydd, marchnadoedd allforio newydd a buddsoddiadau newydd yng Nghymru? Oherwydd, os ydych mor uchelgeisiol ag y dywedwch, rhaid eich bod wedi gosod y meincnodau hyn i fonitro eich cynnydd fel Llywodraeth.
English: Well, you'll see a number of things we already have done, for example, the work that we're doing on supporting exporting industries - the export action plan that's already in place. You can, though, expect to hear more from me about taking forward the economic mission over the next month or so. So, it won't be much longer that you have to wait for much more detail on our ambitions and how we're going to work with businesses through, as I say, a time that is still challenging, but we're looking forward to recovery post pandemic.
Welsh: Wel, fe welwch nifer o bethau yr ydym eisoes wedi'u gwneud, er enghraifft y gwaith sydd ar y gweill ar gefnogi diwydiannau allforio - y cynllun gweithredu allforio sydd eisoes ar waith. Ond gallwch ddisgwyl clywed mwy gennyf ynglŷn â bwrw ymlaen â'r genhadaeth economaidd dros y mis nesaf. Felly, ni fydd raid i chi aros llawer mwy am fanylion ein huchelgais a'r modd y byddwn yn gweithio gyda busnesau, fel rwy'n dweud, ar adeg sy'n dal i fod yn heriol, ond edrychwn ymlaen at adfer ar ôl y pandemig.
