English: I can follow up the question with an analysis of what those 44 businesses that have taken up our offer of help actually wish to be helped with; it may well be that it is business rates or it might be another form of support that we can offer. I'll provide the Member with as much information that I'm reasonably able to so that we are all better informed about what it is that businesses in the area require. In terms of the 11 businesses linked to the Tata supply chain that have not requested additional help, there are a number of reasons for that, but again I'll try my best to provide information on why it is that they may have chosen not to take up our offer of additional support.
Welsh: Gallaf ddilyn y cwestiwn gyda dadansoddiad o'r hyn y mae'r 44 o fusnesau sydd wedi derbyn ein cynnig o gymorth yn dymuno cael cymorth gydag ef mewn gwirionedd; mae'n ddigon posibl mai ardrethi busnes yw hynny neu gallai fod yn fath arall o gymorth y gallwn ei gynnig. Byddaf yn rhoi cymaint o wybodaeth i'r Aelod ag y gallaf yn rhesymol ei wneud, fel ein bod i gyd yn fwy gwybodus ynglŷn â'r hyn y mae busnesau yn yr ardal ei angen. O ran yr 11 o fusnesau sy'n gysylltiedig â chadwyn gyflenwi Tata nad ydynt wedi gofyn am gymorth ychwanegol, mae yna nifer o resymau dros hynny, ond unwaith eto, byddaf yn gwneud fy ngorau i ddarparu gwybodaeth ynglŷn â pham y maent wedi dewis peidio â manteisio ar ein cynnig o gymorth ychwanegol.
English: Wide-ranging support is available through our Business Wales service for small businesses in the Caerphilly area and across Wales. Our absolute focus remains on supporting enterprise, jobs and the economy.
Welsh: Mae cefnogaeth eang ar gael drwy ein gwasanaeth Busnes Cymru i fusnesau bach yn ardal Caerffili a ledled Cymru. Rydym yn parhau i ganolbwyntio'n llwyr ar gefnogi menter, swyddi a'r economi.
English: Thank you for that answer. For businesses to remain long term and sustainable, they need to build positive connections with each other. Welsh ICE, in my constituency, is a peer-to-peer innovation centre for enterprise, where a load of businesses are there to support each other. Indeed, today, the captain of innovation, the leader of Welsh ICE, had an article in the Western Mail entitled 'Everyone's talent needed to secure future of Wales'; that's Gareth Jones. Welsh ICE makes a net gross value added contribution to the economy of £13.8 million. Will the Cabinet Secretary congratulate Welsh ICE for the success that they've had, but also think about how can we foster these business connections, both in Caerphilly and, of course, further afield in the wider area, to develop social capital?
Welsh: Diolch i chi am yr ateb hwnnw. Er mwyn i fusnesau barhau'n rhai hirdymor a chynaliadwy, mae angen iddynt adeiladu cysylltiadau cadarnhaol â'i gilydd. Mae Canolfan Arloesi Menter Cymru, yn fy etholaeth, yn ganolfan arloesi rhwng cymheiriaid ar gyfer menter, lle y ceir llwyth o fusnesau yno i gefnogi ei gilydd. Yn wir, heddiw, roedd gan gapten arloesi, ac arweinydd Canolfan Arloesi Menter Cymru, erthygl yn y Western Mail o dan y pennawd 'Everyone's talent needed to secure future of Wales'; Gareth Jones yw hwnnw. Mae Canolfan Arloesi Menter Cymru yn gwneud cyfraniad gwerth ychwanegol gros net i'r economi o £13.8 miliwn. A wnaiff Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet longyfarch Canolfan Arloesi Menter Cymru ar y llwyddiant y maent wedi'i gael, a meddwl hefyd sut y gallwn feithrin y cysylltiadau busnes hyn, yng Nghaerffili ac wrth gwrs, ymhellach i ffwrdd yn yr ardal ehangach, i ddatblygu cyfalaf cymdeithasol?
English: Can I thank the Member for his question, and also agree that Gareth Jones is indeed a great captain of Welsh ICE? He is also a native of Clwyd South constituency. Networking and shared space forms a key pillar of the approach being developed under the regional entrepreneurship acceleration programme, chaired by Simon Gibson. As part of the evidence being considered, a 12-week pre-start business accelerator programme is being delivered through the Business Wales accelerated growth programme, in partnership with Welsh ICE. I would like to congratulate the work of Welsh ICE, and especially their remarkable success to date, and I look forward to delivering on the Welsh Labour manifesto pledge to create similar hubs right across Wales to drive innovation, creativity and enterprise.
Welsh: A gaf fi ddiolch i'r Aelod am ei gwestiwn, a chytuno hefyd fod Gareth Jones yn gapten gwych ar Ganolfan Arloesi Menter Cymru? Mae hefyd yn frodor o etholaeth De Clwyd. Mae rhwydweithio a rhannu gofod yn rhan allweddol o'r dull sy'n cael ei ddatblygu o dan y rhaglen cyflymu entrepreneuriaeth ranbarthol, a gadeirir gan Simon Gibson. Fel rhan o'r dystiolaeth sy'n cael ei hystyried, mae rhaglen gyflymu 12 wythnos o hyd i fusnesau cyn iddynt gychwyn yn cael ei darparu drwy raglen cyflymu twf Busnes Cymru, mewn partneriaeth â Chanolfan Arloesi Menter Cymru. Hoffwn longyfarch gwaith Canolfan Arloesi Menter Cymru, yn enwedig eu llwyddiant rhyfeddol hyd yn hyn, ac edrychaf ymlaen at gyflawni addewid maniffesto Llafur Cymru i greu canolfannau tebyg ledled Cymru er mwyn hybu arloesedd, creadigrwydd a menter.
English: The Welsh Government has pledged that they will provide 100,000 additional apprenticeships over the ensuing years. What specific steps will you take in order to ensure that small businesses can benefit from the opportunities provided by this pledge?
Welsh: Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi addo 100,000 o brentisiaethau ychwanegol dros y cyfnod nesaf. Pa gamau penodol ydych chi am eu cymryd i sicrhau bod busnesau bach yn gallu manteisio o'r cyfleoedd o ganlyniad i'r addewid yna?
English: Can I thank the Member for his question? It's crucially important for the Welsh economy that we create 100,000 quality apprenticeships. Each apprenticeship is estimated to be worth something in the region of, on average, £130,000 during the course of a career, so it has considerable economic benefits for the economy of Wales. The Minister for Skills and Science will be responsible for ensuring that 100,000 apprenticeships are created and filled. We've got a very proud record in Wales in terms of completion rates, way higher than in England, currently standing at something in the region of 85 per cent here in Wales compared to the low to mid 70 per cent figure in England. So, I'll be working with the Minister for Skills and Science to ensure that businesses of every size, everywhere in Wales, are aware of the opportunities that the apprenticeship system in Wales offers.
Welsh: Diolch i'r Aelod am ei gwestiwn. Mae'n hanfodol bwysig i economi Cymru ein bod yn creu 100,000 o brentisiaethau o safon. Amcangyfrifir y bydd pob prentisiaeth yn werth oddeutu £130,000 ar gyfartaledd dros yrfa gyfan, felly bydd yn creu buddiannau economaidd sylweddol i economi Cymru. Bydd y Gweinidog Sgiliau a Gwyddoniaeth yn gyfrifol am sicrhau bod 100,000 o brentisiaethau yn cael eu creu a'u llenwi. Mae gennym hanes balch iawn yng Nghymru o ran cyfraddau cwblhau: maent yn llawer uwch nag yn Lloegr, ac oddeutu 85 y cant yma yng Nghymru ar hyn o bryd o'i gymharu â'r ffigwr isel i ganolig o 70 y cant yn Lloegr. Felly, byddaf yn gweithio gyda'r Gweinidog Sgiliau a Gwyddoniaeth i sicrhau bod busnesau o bob maint, ym mhob rhan o Gymru, yn ymwybodol o'r cyfleoedd y mae'r system brentisiaethau yng Nghymru yn eu cynnig.
English: My best wishes to the Minister for climbing the economic mountain of Wales. A recent poll by the Federation of Small Businesses in Wales asked members about the key priorities they wanted to see from the Welsh Government. Twenty per cent of respondents wanted to see the creation of a single body to support small businesses in Wales. What consideration has the Welsh Government given to setting up a single body that companies can go to to receive information to co-ordinate support for small businesses in Caerphilly and the rest of Wales?
Welsh: Rwy'n dymuno'r gorau i'r Gweinidog ar gyfer dringo mynydd economaidd Cymru. Roedd arolwg diweddar gan y Ffederasiwn Busnesau Bach yng Nghymru yn holi aelodau am y blaenoriaethau allweddol y buasent yn hoffi eu gweld gan Lywodraeth Cymru. Roedd ugain y cant o'r ymatebwyr yn awyddus i weld un corff yn cael ei greu i gefnogi busnesau bach yng Nghymru. Pa ystyriaeth y mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi'i roi i sefydlu un corff y gall cwmnïau droi ato i gael gwybodaeth er mwyn cydlynu cymorth i fusnesau bach yng Nghaerffili a gweddill Cymru?
English: Can I thank the Member for his kind comments and his question? Well, of course, the £61 million Business Wales service continues to offer that one port of call for small businesses. The latest phase of Business Wales was launched in January with the aim of creating 10,000 new businesses and 28,300 new jobs and providing support to help inspire the next generation of young entrepreneurs and to help existing SMEs grow. That is something that Business Wales has thus far been incredibly successful at achieving - as shown by our employment figures, our unemployment figures and our new business start-up figures. So, we have a measure, so far, of success in this regard, but I'm keen to make sure that Business Wales continues to deliver for businesses and the people of our country.
Welsh: Diolch i'r Aelod am ei sylwadau caredig a'i gwestiwn. Wel, wrth gwrs, mae gwasanaeth £61 miliwn Busnes Cymru yn parhau i gynnig un man o'r fath i fusnesau bach droi ato. Lansiwyd cam diweddaraf Busnes Cymru ym mis Ionawr, gyda'r nod o greu 10,000 o fusnesau newydd a 28,300 o swyddi newydd a darparu cymorth i helpu i ysbrydoli'r genhedlaeth nesaf o entrepreneuriaid ifanc ac i helpu busnesau bach a chanolig sy'n bodoli eisoes i dyfu. Mae hynny'n rhywbeth y mae Busnes Cymru wedi bod yn anhygoel o lwyddiannus yn ei gyflawni hyd yma - fel y dangosir yn ein ffigurau cyflogaeth, ein ffigurau diweithdra a'n ffigurau ar gyfer busnesau bach newydd. Felly, mae gennym fesur o lwyddiant hyd yma yn hyn o beth, ond rwy'n awyddus i sicrhau bod Busnes Cymru yn parhau i ddarparu ar gyfer busnesau a phobl ein gwlad.
English: We are a pro-business Government and one of my first priorities will be talking to businesses large and small, as well as key partners, about their views on developing the right approach to grow prosperity and deliver greater financial security for businesses and individuals, right across Wales.
Welsh: Rydym yn Llywodraeth sy'n cefnogi busnesau ac un o fy mlaenoriaethau cyntaf fydd siarad â busnesau mawr a bach, yn ogystal â phartneriaid allweddol, am eu safbwyntiau ynglŷn â datblygu'r dull cywir o dyfu ffyniant a darparu diogelwch ariannol gwell i fusnesau ac unigolion, ar hyd a lled Cymru.
English: Thank you for the reply, Secretary. Business rates can be a company's biggest expense after wages and rent. The Welsh Retail Consortium has warned that Welsh retailers could see the steepest rise in business rates in the United Kingdom from the next year, once the revaluation of properties takes effect. Does the Minister agree the time has come for a radical review of business rates, to make the system fair, effective and efficient and better linked to a company's ability to pay in Wales?
Welsh: Diolch am yr ateb, Ysgrifennydd. Mae'n bosibl mai ardrethi busnes yw un o'r costau mwyaf i gwmni ar ôl cyflogau a rhent. Mae Consortiwm Manwerthu Cymru wedi rhybuddio y gallai manwerthwyr Cymru wynebu'r cynnydd serthaf mewn ardrethi busnes yn y Deyrnas Unedig o'r flwyddyn nesaf ymlaen, yn sgil ailbrisio eiddo. A yw'r Gweinidog yn cytuno ei bod hi'n bryd cael adolygiad radical o ardrethi busnes, er mwyn gwneud y system yn deg, yn effeithiol ac yn effeithlon, ac yn fwy cysylltiedig â gallu cwmni i dalu yng Nghymru?
English: I thank the Member for his question regarding business rates. Of course, the reason that we made one of our top pledges a reduction in tax on business was because of the value that small businesses have to the economy right across the country. Chris Sutton carries out important work in this regard and I take his advice very seriously and I scrutinise what he has to offer very carefully and, of course, if he returns with more advice in this regard I will consider it appropriately.
Welsh: Diolch i'r Aelod am ei gwestiwn ynglŷn ag ardrethi busnes. Wrth gwrs, y rheswm pam ein bod wedi gwneud gostyngiad yn y dreth ar fusnesau yn un o'n prif flaenoriaethau oedd oherwydd gwerth busnesau bach i'r economi ar draws y wlad. Mae Chris Sutton yn gwneud gwaith pwysig yn hyn o beth ac rwy'n cymryd ei gyngor o ddifrif ac yn craffu ar yr hyn sydd ganddo i'w gynnig yn ofalus iawn ac wrth gwrs, os yw'n dychwelyd gyda mwy o gyngor ar hyn byddaf yn ei ystyried yn briodol.
English: We are currently developing a business case for a third crossing over the Menai strait and I have asked my officials to bring forward proposals for a preferred-route study.
Welsh: Ar hyn o bryd rydym yn datblygu achos busnes ar gyfer trydydd croesiad dros y Fenai ac rwyf wedi gofyn i fy swyddogion gyflwyno argymhellion ar gyfer astudiaeth ar y llwybr a ffefrir.
English: The Minister will know that I have been consistently pressing for investment in a third crossing, or dualling the Britannia, however you want to see it. I was very grateful to see the Government agreeing to proceed with the business study recently, and I'm sure that the plans will be brought forward in due course. Today, National Grid have announced their latest proposals on transferring energy across the Isle of Anglesey and the Menai straits. In terms of crossing Anglesey, the grid is entirely unyielding in terms of its determination to keep those cables above ground. They want to go under the Menai, and I would expect them to do that - of course, they have very little option. But isn't there an opportunity here in having some collaboration between different departments, if you like, namely by taking the cables across a new Menai crossing and getting the grid to contribute to the cost therein? I know that there is a problem here in terms of timing, but will the Minister give a commitment to do everything within his power to overcome those problems, because there is a very real opportunity to kill two birds with one stone here?
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn. Mae'r Gweinidog yn gwybod fy mod i wedi bod yn gwthio yn gyson am fuddsoddiad mewn trydydd croesiad neu ddeuoli y Britannia, yn dibynnu pa ffordd rydych chi eisiau ei weld o. Mi oeddwn i'n ddiolchgar iawn o weld y Llywodraeth yn cytuno i fwrw ymlaen â'r astudiaeth fusnes yn ddiweddar ac rwy'n siŵr y bydd y cynlluniau yn dod rhagddyn nhw yn fuan. Rŵan, heddiw mae'r National Grid wedi cyhoeddi'u cynlluniau diweddaraf ar gyfer trosglwyddo trydan ar draws Ynys Môn a'r Fenai. O ran croesi Ynys Môn, mae'r grid yn gwbl ddigyfaddawd o ran ei benderfynoldeb i gadw'r gwifrau uwchben y ddaear. Maen nhw am fynd o dan y Fenai - mi fyddem ni'n disgwyl iddyn nhw wneud hynny; nid oedd ganddyn nhw fawr o ddewis. Ond onid oes yna gyfle yn y fan hyn i gael ychydig o gydweithio rhwng gwahanol adrannau, os hoffwch chi, sef drwy fynd â'r gwifrau ar draws pont newydd ar draws y Fenai a chael y grid i gyfrannu at y gost honno? Rwyf yn ymwybodol bod yna broblem yma o ran yr amseru, ond a wnaiff y Gweinidog roi ymrwymiad i wneud popeth o fewn ei allu i oresgyn y problemau hynny, achos mae yna gyfle go iawn i ladd dau dderyn efo un garreg yn fan hyn?
English: Absolutely. The Member is astute and correct in his observations and his recommendations. I met with my officials today to discuss this very issue. We welcome the project update today, published by National Grid. It's provided more detail on the undergrounding options for crossing the Menai straits, and officials continue to engage with the National Grid to ensure that any solution is fit for purpose, not only to deliver a connection but to protect and be mindful of the environment in which it is to be deployed. So, the grid dimension will be considered as part of the business case.
Welsh: Yn bendant. Mae'r Aelod yn graff ac yn gywir yn ei sylwadau a'i argymhellion. Cyfarfûm â'm swyddogion heddiw i drafod yr union fater hwn. Rydym yn croesawu'r newyddion diweddaraf ar y prosiect heddiw, a gyhoeddwyd gan y Grid Cenedlaethol. Mae wedi darparu mwy o fanylion ynglŷn â'r opsiynau tanddaearol ar gyfer croesi'r Fenai, ac mae swyddogion yn parhau i ymgysylltu â'r Grid Cenedlaethol er mwyn sicrhau bod unrhyw ateb yn addas i'r diben, nid yn unig ar gyfer creu cysylltiad ond er mwyn diogelu a bod yn ymwybodol o'r amgylchedd lle caiff ei roi. Felly, bydd dimensiwn y grid yn cael ei ystyried yn rhan o'r achos busnes.
English: We now move to questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Health, Well-being and Sport. The first question is from Dawn Bowden.
Welsh: Rŷm ni nawr yn symud ymlaen at gwestiynau i Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Iechyd, Llesiant a Chwaraeon. Mae'r cwestiwn cyntaf gan Dawn Bowden.
English: Thank you, Presiding Officer. Will the First Minister please make a statement on the role the Welsh Government sees for sport -
Welsh: Diolch i chi, Lywydd. A wnaiff y Prif Weinidog ddatganiad am y rôl y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn ei gweld ar gyfer chwaraeon -
English: The First Minister?
Welsh: Y Prif Weinidog?
English: Oh, sorry. [Laughter.] The Minister. [Interruption.] Yes, well, one day, Becs, one day. [Laughter.] Sorry, I'll start again.
Welsh: O, mae'n ddrwg gennyf. [Chwerthin.] Y Gweinidog. [Torri ar draws.] Ie, wel, un diwrnod, Becs, un diwrnod. [Chwerthin.] Mae'n ddrwg gennyf, rwyf am ddechrau eto.
English: The Welsh Government remains committed to increasing rates of participation in physical activity through sport. Sport Wales are our key delivery agent and are working with a range of partners and stakeholders to drive forward our agenda of making Wales a more active and healthy nation.
Welsh: Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn parhau i fod yn ymrwymedig i gynyddu cyfraddau cyfranogiad mewn gweithgarwch corfforol drwy chwaraeon. Chwaraeon Cymru yw ein hasiant cyflenwi allweddol ac maent yn gweithio gydag ystod o bartneriaid a rhanddeiliaid i fwrw ymlaen â'n hagenda o wneud Cymru yn genedl fwy heini ac iach.
English: Thank you, Minister. Merthyr council has secured funding of almost £12.9 million under the Welsh Government's Vibrant and Viable Places programme to support regeneration projects in Merthyr Tydfil. Will the Minister then join me in commending the initiative of both Merthyr Town Football Club and Merthyr council in utilising a grant from this funding arrangement to support the development of a modern facility at Penydarren Park, providing a sustainable community sports initiative, which is encouraging greater public engagement with the club as well as, of course, securing additional local economic benefits arising out of the building contract that came with that?
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr, Weinidog. Mae cyngor Merthyr wedi sicrhau cyllid o bron i £12.9 miliwn o dan raglen Lleoedd Llewyrchus Llawn Addewid Llywodraeth Cymru i gefnogi prosiectau adfywio ym Merthyr Tudful. A wnaiff y Gweinidog ymuno â mi i ganmol menter Clwb Pêl-droed Merthyr Tudful a chyngor Merthyr Tudful am ddefnyddio grant o'r trefniant cyllid hwn i gefnogi datblygiad cyfleuster modern ym Mharc Penydarren, gan ddarparu menter chwaraeon cymunedol cynaliadwy, sy'n annog mwy o ymgysylltiad rhwng y cyhoedd a'r clwb yn ogystal â sicrhau manteision economaidd lleol ychwanegol, wrth gwrs, sy'n codi o'r contract adeiladu a ddaeth gyda hynny?
English: I thank you for that question. I certainly join you in commending Merthyr Town FC and Merthyr council for working in partnership to ensure a sustainable future for community sports in the area, and I'm more than delighted that Welsh Government was able to play its part by providing over £2 million for the funding for Penydarren Park through our Vibrant and Viable Places programme. That really demonstrates our commitment to providing a new flexible facility for recreation but also education and training as well in the area. I'll just add how impressed I am that Merthyr Town FC was voted the best grass-roots club in Europe by UEFA last year. I think that's a tremendous achievement.
Welsh: Diolch i chi am y cwestiwn hwnnw. Rwy'n sicr yn ymuno â chi i ganmol Clwb Pêl-droed Merthyr Tudful a chyngor Merthyr Tudful am weithio mewn partneriaeth i sicrhau dyfodol cynaliadwy i chwaraeon cymunedol yn yr ardal, ac rwy'n hynod o falch fod Llywodraeth Cymru wedi gallu chwarae ei rhan drwy ddarparu dros £2 filiwn o'r cyllid ar gyfer Parc Penydarren drwy ein rhaglen Lleoedd Llewyrchus Llawn Addewid. Mae hynny'n dangos ein hymrwymiad i ddarparu cyfleuster hyblyg newydd ar gyfer hamdden yn ogystal ag addysg a hyfforddiant yn yr ardal. Hoffwn ychwanegu pa mor falch wyf fi fod UEFA wedi cyhoeddi mai Clwb Pêl-droed Merthyr Tudful oedd y clwb llawr gwlad gorau yn Ewrop y llynedd. Rwy'n credu bod hwnnw'n gyflawniad aruthrol.
English: Sport plays a really valuable role, Minister, in improving public health, but one sector of our society doesn't seem to participate the same as the other part, which is men versus women - . On a national survey, 100,000 fewer women play sport than men. There's been an active campaign across the UK entitled This Girl Can to raise participation levels in sport by actually moving beyond some of the stereotypical models of people who play sport and actually showing that sport is for all. Has the Welsh Government taken a view on this particular campaign and, indeed, has the Welsh Government participated in formulating any actions around the campaign so that we can reach into all communities and show that sport isn't for a set type of individual - it is for everyone?
Welsh: Weinidog, mae rhan chwaraeon yn gwella iechyd y cyhoedd yn wirioneddol werthfawr, ond mae'n ymddangos nad yw un sector o'n cymdeithas yn cymryd rhan i'r un graddau â'r rhan arall, sef dynion yn erbyn menywod - . Mewn arolwg cenedlaethol, dangoswyd bod 100,000 yn llai o fenywod na dynion yn cymryd rhan mewn chwaraeon. Cafwyd ymgyrch weithredol ar draws y DU o'r enw This Girl Can i godi lefelau cyfranogiad mewn chwaraeon drwy symud y tu hwnt i rai o'r modelau ystrydebol o bobl sy'n cymryd rhan mewn chwaraeon a dangos bod chwaraeon i bawb mewn gwirionedd. A oes gan Lywodraeth Cymru safbwynt ar yr ymgyrch benodol hon ac yn wir, a yw Llywodraeth Cymru wedi mynd ati i lunio camau gweithredu mewn perthynas â'r ymgyrch fel y gallwn gyrraedd pob cymuned a dangos nad yw chwaraeon yn weithgaredd ar gyfer math penodol o unigolyn - ei fod i bawb?
