English: I think that one of the real strengths of our approach here in Wales has been those very locally based teams of people doing the tracing work. I can say that I've had a number of discussions with the health Minister and with officials over the last week, looking at what funding will be needed in order to increase the size of that workforce, what the core size should be, and how we can ensure that there is surge capacity for that workforce as well, and there will be additional funding as part of that. Yes, I will be happy to provide that statement as soon as the details are confirmed.
Welsh: Rwy'n credu mai un o gryfderau gwirioneddol ein dull ni o weithredu yma yng Nghymru yw'r timau lleol iawn hynny o bobl sy'n gwneud y gwaith olrhain. Gallaf ddweud fy mod i wedi cael nifer o drafodaethau gyda'r Gweinidog Iechyd a chyda swyddogion dros yr wythnos ddiwethaf, gan edrych ar y cyllid y bydd ei angen i gynyddu maint y gweithlu hwnnw, a thrafod beth ddylai'r maint craidd fod, a sut y gallwn ni sicrhau bod capasiti ymchwydd i'r gweithlu hwnnw hefyd, ac fe fydd arian ychwanegol yn rhan o hynny. Byddaf yn hapus i roi'r datganiad hwnnw cyn gynted ag y caiff y manylion eu cadarnhau.
English: Measures announced by the UK Government since the budget are expected to result in consequentials for Wales of around £2.3 billion, some of which are as yet indicative. Welcome though this is, it's less than we have needed to meet the immediate needs generated by the COVID crisis.
Welsh: Disgwylir i fesurau a gyhoeddwyd gan Lywodraeth y DU ers y gyllideb arwain at symiau canlyniadol i Gymru o tua £2.3 biliwn, y mae rhai ohonyn nhw'n ddangosol hyd yma. Er bod hynny'n dderbyniol iawn, mae'n llai na'r hyn yr oedd ei angen arnom i ddiwallu'r anghenion uniongyrchol a achoswyd gan argyfwng COVID.
English: Can I thank the Minister for that response? Some of us are suspicious of the way that the Treasury in Westminster distributes consequential funding to Wales, and what they include has a substantial effect on the Welsh budget. Will the Minister publish the amount of money to be provided, and the Treasury's calculation that produced the total for the consequential moneys provided to Wales - what we used to know as 'show your workings'?
Welsh: A gaf i ddiolch i'r Gweinidog am yr ymateb yna? Mae rhai ohonom yn amheus o'r dull y mae'r Trysorlys yn San Steffan yn dosbarthu cyllid canlyniadol i Gymru, ac mae'r hyn y maen nhw'n ei gynnwys yn cael effaith sylweddol ar gyllideb Cymru. A wnaiff y Gweinidog gyhoeddi faint o arian sydd i'w ddarparu, a chyfrifiad y Trysorlys a gynhyrchodd y cyfanswm ar gyfer yr arian canlyniadol a roddwyd i Gymru - yr hyn yr oeddem yn arfer ei alw'n 'ddangos eich cyfrifiadau'?
English: Yes, I'd be very happy to. So, thus far, we've published details of the additional funding in the first supplementary budget, but we do expect the Treasury to publish its block grant transparency tables very shortly, showing the detail of allocations across all three devolved nations. I think that those transparency tables are important in understanding the workings out, as Mike Hedges says. There might be further consequentials this year, and I'm hoping for some news on that in the July economic statement next week. Then, following that, of course, we'd expect a further block grant transparency table outlining any additional allocations as a result of that.
Welsh: Iawn, rwy'n hapus iawn i wneud hynny. Felly, hyd yma, rydym wedi cyhoeddi manylion yr arian ychwanegol yn y gyllideb atodol gyntaf, ond rydym yn disgwyl i'r Trysorlys gyhoeddi ei dablau tryloywder grant bloc yn fuan iawn, gan ddangos manylion dyraniadau ledled y tair gwlad ddatganoledig. Rwy'n credu bod y tablau tryloywder hynny'n bwysig o ran deall y cyfrifiadau, fel y mae Mike Hedges yn ei ddweud. Efallai y bydd symiau canlyniadol pellach i'w cael eleni, ac rwy'n gobeithio cael newyddion am hynny yn natganiad economaidd mis Gorffennaf yr wythnos nesaf. Yna, yn dilyn hynny, wrth gwrs, fe fyddem ni'n disgwyl tabl tryloywder grant bloc arall eto yn amlinellu unrhyw ddyraniadau ychwanegol o ganlyniad i hynny.
English: Social care plays a vital role in supporting some of the most vulnerable people in Wales. This work is more important than ever. We have allocated £40 million to support the extra costs of adult social care services and are providing payments of £500 to front-line Welsh social care staff.
Welsh: Mae gofal cymdeithasol yn chwarae rhan hanfodol wrth gefnogi rhai o'r bobl fwyaf agored i niwed yng Nghymru. Mae'r gwaith hwn yn bwysicach nag erioed. Rydym wedi dyrannu £40 miliwn i gefnogi costau ychwanegol gwasanaethau gofal cymdeithasol i oedolion ac rydym yn rhoi taliadau o £500 i staff rheng flaen gofal cymdeithasol Cymru.
English: Thank you. I don't think it's wise to keep mentioning the £500, because that's actually scandalous - how that figure has actually materialised. Now, the Welsh Government has confirmed extension of the adult social care element of the local authority hardship fund to cover the whole of June. Will you provide an extension for July and August to give certainty to our local authorities? Longer term assurances are needed also. An elderly mentally infirm home in Powys receives a weekly fee of £559, whereas, in Cardiff, the figure is £793.48. That's £12,192.96 more for every resident than in Powys over the course of the year. This variation across Wales is disgraceful. So, will you consider supporting an inquiry into this fee variation, and will you work with colleagues to see fairness in funding for homes across Wales? Diolch.
Welsh: Diolch. Nid wyf yn credu ei fod yn beth doeth dal ati i sôn am y £500, oherwydd mae hynny'n warthus - sut mae'r ffigur hwnnw wedi dod i'r golwg mewn gwirionedd. Nawr, mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi cadarnhau bod yr elfen gofal cymdeithasol i oedolion yng nghronfa galedi awdurdodau lleol wedi cael ei hymestyn i gynnwys mis Mehefin ar ei hyd. A wnewch chi ganiatáu estyniad ar gyfer Gorffennaf ac Awst i roi sicrwydd i'n hawdurdodau lleol ni? Bydd angen sicrwydd yn y tymor hwy hefyd. Mae cartref i henoed sydd â gwendid meddwl ym Mhowys yn cael ffi wythnosol o £559, tra bo'r ffigur yng Nghaerdydd yn £793.48. Mae hynny'n £12,192.96 yn fwy i bob preswylydd nag ym Mhowys dros gwrs y flwyddyn. Mae'r amrywiad hwn ledled Cymru yn warthus. Felly, a wnewch chi ystyried cefnogi ymchwiliad i'r amrywiaeth hon o ran ffioedd, ac a wnewch chi weithio gyda chyd-Weinidogion i weld cyllid teg i gartrefi ledled Cymru? Diolch.
English: Thank you very much for raising that. You'll be aware that there has been an inter-ministerial group on paying for social care that has been meeting over the past number of years now to consider the ways forward. We're very aware of those differentials in the payment that is received in different areas. Some of it is very difficult, I think, to explain. That work is still ongoing despite the crisis, because we recognise how important it is that we gather all of the evidence that's needed so that decisions can be made about the appropriate way to pay for care in future. But, in terms of the response to the immediate crisis, again, I have earmarked additional funding for social care in respect of the additional pressures that local authorities are facing, and we're starting to get those figures in for the claims thus far. So, I'll be able to understand what the pressure might be over this month and the next months to get a better idea of what's required.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn ichi am godi'r pwynt hwnnw. Rydych chi'n siŵr o fod yn gwybod y cafwyd grŵp rhyng-weinidogol i drafod talu am ofal cymdeithasol sydd wedi bod yn cwrdd dros nifer o flynyddoedd erbyn hyn i ystyried y ffyrdd ymlaen. Rydym yn ymwybodol iawn o'r gwahaniaethau hynny yn y taliadau a geir mewn ardaloedd gwahanol. Mae rhywfaint o hyn yn anodd iawn ei esbonio, yn fy marn i. Mae'r gwaith hwnnw'n parhau er gwaethaf yr argyfwng, gan ein bod yn cydnabod pwysigrwydd casglu'r holl dystiolaeth sydd ei hangen fel y gellir gwneud penderfyniadau ynglŷn â'r ffordd gymwys o dalu am ofal yn y dyfodol. Ond, o ran yr ymateb uniongyrchol i'r argyfwng, unwaith eto, rwyf wedi clustnodi cyllid ychwanegol ar gyfer gofal cymdeithasol oherwydd y pwysau ychwanegol sy'n wynebu awdurdodau lleol, ac rydym yn dechrau gweld y ffigurau hynny ar gyfer yr ceisiadau sydd wedi dod i law hyd yn hyn. Felly, fe fyddaf yn gallu deall beth allai'r pwysau fod dros y mis hwn a'r misoedd nesaf er mwyn cael gwell syniad o'r hyn sydd ei angen.
English: The pandemic is putting great pressure on our resources this year, and there are huge uncertainties about funding in future years. That's why, at last week's finance Ministers' quadrilateral, I pressed the Chief Secretary to announce how and when he will set spending plans for next year and beyond.
Welsh: Mae'r pandemig yn rhoi pwysau mawr ar ein hadnoddau ni eleni, ac fe geir ansicrwydd mawr ynglŷn ag ariannu yn y blynyddoedd sydd i ddod. Dyna pam, yn ystod cyfarfod pedairochrog y Gweinidogion cyllid yr wythnos diwethaf, y rhoddais bwysau ar y Prif Ysgrifennydd i gyhoeddi sut a phryd y bydd yn pennu cynlluniau gwariant ar gyfer y flwyddyn nesaf a thu hwnt i hynny.
English: Thank you, Minister. As you know, eye-watering sums of money have come from the UK Government to help the Welsh economy during lockdown, as well as your own Government's repurposing and reimagining of existing budgets and funds. Anyone who manages a household budget can see that there will be a knock-on effect for future Welsh budgets and the services that they support. How deep will hard-working members of the Welsh public need to dig in terms of increased income tax in the next Senedd term? Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch, Gweinidog. Fel y gwyddoch, fe ddaeth symiau o arian i dynnu dŵr o'r llygaid gan Lywodraeth y DU i helpu economi Cymru yn ystod y cyfnod cloi, yn ogystal â'ch Llywodraeth chi'n ail-greu ac yn ail-gynllunio cyllidebau a chronfeydd sy'n bodoli eisoes. Fe all unrhyw un sy'n rheoli cyllideb aelwyd weld y bydd effaith ganlyniadol ar gyllidebau Cymru yn y dyfodol a'r gwasanaethau y maen nhw'n eu cefnogi. Pa mor ddwfn y bydd yn rhaid i'r cyhoedd yng Nghymru fynd i'w pocedi o ran cyfradd uwch o dreth incwm yn nhymor nesaf y Senedd? Diolch.
English: Well, we've been very clear that we wouldn't increase Welsh rates of income tax over this entire Assembly term, and we stuck to that. But I do think it's a case for all parties, really, to set out what their intentions would be for Welsh rates of income tax ahead of the next Senedd elections so that members of the public can decide what they feel is right for them.
Welsh: Wel, rydym wedi dweud yn eglur iawn na fyddem yn cynyddu cyfraddau treth incwm Cymru yn ystod y tymor Seneddol ar ei hyd, ac rydym wedi cadw at hynny. Ond rwy'n credu mai gwaith i bob plaid, mewn gwirionedd, yw nodi ei bwriadau ar gyfer cyfraddau treth incwm Cymru cyn yr etholiadau nesaf i'r Senedd er mwyn i'r cyhoedd allu barnu'r hyn sy'n gymwys yn eu golwg nhw.
English: Yes. The Welsh Government is providing £1.7 billion to help businesses and not‑for‑profit organisations in Wales during the coronavirus outbreak. This includes over £875 million for grants related to non-domestic rates. All not-for-profit organisations that meet the eligibility criteria will receive a grant of either £10,000 or £25,000.
Welsh: Gwnaf. Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn rhoi £1.7 biliwn i helpu busnesau a sefydliadau dielw yng Nghymru yn ystod yr achosion o'r coronafeirws. Mae hyn yn cynnwys dros £875 miliwn ar gyfer grantiau sy'n gysylltiedig ag ardrethi annomestig. Fe fydd pob sefydliad dielw sy'n bodloni'r meini prawf cymhwyster yn cael grant o naill ai £10,000 neu £25,000.
English: Thank you for your answer, Minister. If I can put, perhaps, an example to you of a not-for-profit childcare provider in Machynlleth in my constituency, with a rateable value of £12,000. They've contacted me to say that the vast majority of their income comes from charging fees for looked-after children as opposed to donations. They say that they are not eligible for the business rates relief grant - either the £10,000 or £25,000 rate - because they have received 100 per cent rate relief as a charity. Business Wales seems to suggest that not-for-profit organisations and childcare providers that qualify for the 100 per cent small business rate relief should receive the £10,000 grant. So, there is some, I think, confusion as to why this particular business is excluded. Are you able to provide any clarification today on how the business rate relief grant scheme should work for the charitable and not-for-profit sector?
Welsh: Diolch am eich ateb, Gweinidog. Os caf i, efallai, roi enghraifft ichi o ddarparwr gofal plant dielw ym Machynlleth yn fy etholaeth i, gyda gwerth ardrethol o £12,000. Maen nhw wedi cysylltu â mi i ddweud bod y mwyafrif helaeth o'u hincwm yn deillio o godi ffioedd am blant sy'n derbyn gofal yn hytrach na rhoddion. Maen nhw'n dweud nad ydyn nhw'n gymwys am y grant rhyddhad ardrethi busnes - ar y gyfradd £10,000 nac ar £25,000 - gan eu bod nhw wedi cael rhyddhad ardrethi o 100 y cant fel elusen. Mae'n ymddangos bod Busnes Cymru'n awgrymu y dylai sefydliadau dielw a darparwyr gofal plant sy'n gymwys i gael rhyddhad ardrethi busnesau bach o 100 y cant gael y grant £10,000. Felly, mae rhywfaint o ddryswch, yn fy marn i, o ran pam mae'r busnes arbennig hwn wedi cael ei eithrio. A wnewch chi roi rhywfaint o eglurhad heddiw ynglŷn â sut y dylai'r cynllun grant rhyddhad ardrethi busnes weithio i'r sector elusennol a dielw?
English: As I say, they have been included in our non-domestic rates related grant scheme. So, perhaps if you write to me with that specific case, I can look into it to make sure that we provide the correct advice.
Welsh: Fel y dywedais, maen nhw wedi eu cynnwys yn ein cynllun grantiau ynglŷn ag ardrethi annomestig. Felly, efallai yr hoffech ysgrifennu ataf am yr achos penodol hwnnw, a gallaf innau edrych ar y mater i wneud yn siŵr ein bod ni'n rhoi'r cyngor cywir.
English: That brings our morning's session to a close. We will reconvene at 14:15, and just to remind Members that they need to be present in the session for me to be able to call them for questions. So, make sure that you keep your cameras on if you are in the session, otherwise I can't see you to know that you are there to be called.
Welsh: Mae hynny'n dod â'n sesiwn foreol ni i ben. Fe ddown ni at ein gilydd eto am 14:15, ac a gaf i atgoffa'r Aelodau fod yn rhaid iddyn nhw fod yn bresennol yn y sesiwn er mwyn i mi allu galw arnyn nhw i ofyn eu cwestiynau. Felly, gwnewch yn siŵr bod eich camerâu chi heb eu diffodd os ydych chi yn y sesiwn, oherwydd fel arall ni allaf weld eich bod chi yno i alw arnoch chi.
English: So, I will see you all at a quarter past two.
Welsh: Felly, gwnaf i weld chi i gyd am chwarter wedi dau.
English: See you at 14:15.
Welsh: Fe'ch gwelaf chi am 14:15.
English: Good afternoon, everybody. Welcome back after our break, and we return to our agenda with item 5, which is questions to the Minister for International Relations and the Welsh Language. Question 1 this afternoon is to be answered by the Deputy Minister for Culture, Sport and Tourism. Question 1 - Mike Hedges.
Welsh: Prynhawn da, bawb. Croeso yn ôl ar ôl ein toriad, a dychwelwn at ein hagenda gydag eitem 5, sef cwestiynau i Weinidog y Gymraeg a Chysylltiadau Rhyngwladol. Mae cwestiwn 1 y prynhawn yma i'w ateb gan y Dirprwy Weinidog Diwylliant, Chwaraeon a Thwristiaeth. Cwestiwn 1 - Mike Hedges.
English: Minister, you need to unmute your phone. I can't hear you. Sorry, you need to put your mic on. No, try again. No, sorry, we're not hearing the Minister.
Welsh: Gweinidog, mae angen ichi ddad-dawelu eich ffôn. Ni allaf eich clywed chi. Sori, mae angen i chi droi eich meicroffon ymlaen. Na, rhowch gynnig arall arni. Na, sori, nid ydym ni'n clywed y Gweinidog.
English: Is that all right now?
Welsh: A yw hynny'n iawn nawr?
English: That's fine. Thank you, Minister. Sorry about that.
Welsh: Mae hynny'n iawn. Diolch yn fawr, Gweinidog. Mae'n ddrwg gennyf i am hynny.
English: Sorry, it was the extension lead that got me into trouble.
Welsh: Sori, y cebl estyn wnaeth achosi trafferth i mi.
English: Thank you very much, Mike, for that question and for asking it in Welsh, and I will answer in Welsh too. The Welsh Government recognises the importance of local Welsh-medium publications in ensuring that people in all parts of Wales have access to vital local news and information during this current public health crisis. We are working closely with the Books Council of Wales and other stakeholders to support publications during this period.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn, Mike, am y cwestiwn yn Gymraeg, ac mi atebaf i yn yr un modd. Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn cydnabod pwysigrwydd cyhoeddiadau Cymraeg lleol wrth sicrhau bod pobl ym mhob rhan o Gymru yn gallu cael gafael ar wybodaeth a newyddion hanfodol yn ystod yr argyfwng iechyd cyhoeddus presennol. Rydyn ni'n gweithio'n agos gyda Chyngor Llyfrau Cymru a rhanddeiliaid eraill i gefnogi cyhoeddiadau yn ystod y cyfnod hwn.
English: Well, Wilia is one of a network of 52 papurau bro, if memory serves me correctly, and they're available throughout Wales, and they play a crucial role in linking and connecting communities, particularly in situations such as this public health crisis. We have supported them through the mentrau iaith, and as I said at the outset, there are 52 papurau bro, and there is a grant of £97,000 that has been budgeted in order to target assistance for papurau bro during the 2020-1 financial year.
Welsh: Wel, mae Wilia yn un o rwydwaith, os ydw i'n cofio'n iawn, o 52 o bapurau bro trwy Gymru sydd yn chwarae rhan allweddol i gysylltu cymunedau, yn enwedig mewn sefyllfa fel hon o argyfwng iechyd cyhoeddus. Rydyn ni'n eu cefnogi nhw drwy Mentrau Iaith Cymru, ac fel y dywedais i ar y dechrau, mae 52 o bapurau bro ac mae yna grant o £97,000 wedi cael ei gyllido i dargedu papurau bro yn y flwyddyn ariannol 2020-1.
English: Deputy Minister, Hwb has been a fundamental part of home schooling over the past three months, but I still receive correspondence from non-Welsh-speaking parents who don't feel that they have been in a position to assist their children who attend Welsh-medium schools. So, would it be possible for you to speak to the education Minister as to how copies of papurau bro can be uploaded, perhaps, as educational resources for parents and their children? There are examples of how written and spoken words are used in particular areas and they will be very useful resources for every school, looking at the new local curriculum in particular.
Welsh: Ddirprwy Weinidog, mae Hwb wedi bod yn elfen sylfaenol o addysg gartref yn ystod y tri mis diwethaf. Rwyf hyd yn oed yn dal i gael gohebiaeth gan rieni sydd ddim yn siarad Cymraeg ac sydd ddim yn teimlo eu bod nhw wedi bod mewn sefyllfa i helpu eu plant sy'n mynd i ysgolion cyfrwng Cymraeg. Fydd e'n bosib i chi siarad â'r Gweinidog Addysg am sut y gallai copïau o bapurau bro gael eu lanlwytho, efallai, fel adnoddau addysg ar gyfer rhieni a'u plant? Mae yna esiamplau da o sut mae geiriau ysgrifenedig a llafar yn swnio yn y fro ac, wrth gwrs, maen nhw'n mynd i fod yn adnoddau defnyddiol iawn i bob ysgol pan fyddant yn ystyried y cwricwlwm lleol newydd.
English: Well, the papurau bro - at least half of them now, I believe - are published digitally, and therefore they are available online online as a medium that people can turn to. I would encourage the papurau bro to take advantage of the support of the Welsh Books Council, and through the books council the Welsh Government, in order to enable more people to take advantage of digital material through the medium of Welsh at a local level. Thank you.
Welsh: Wel, mae'r papurau bro bellach - o leiaf eu hanner nhw, rydw i'n credu - yn cael eu cyhoeddi yn ddigidol, ac felly maen nhw ar gael ar-lein fel cyfrwng y gall pobl ei ddefnyddio. Fe fuaswn i'n annog y papurau bro i fanteisio ar gefnogaeth y cyngor llyfrau - ac felly trwy'r cyngor llyfrau, Llywodraeth Cymru - er mwyn galluogi mwy o bobl i allu manteisio ar ddeunydd digidol Cymraeg lleol. Diolch.
English: Thank you. Question 2 is again to be answered by the Deputy Minister for Culture, Sport and Tourism. Question 2 - Russell George.
Welsh: Diolch. Mae cwestiwn 2 i'w ateb eto gan y Dirprwy Weinidog Diwylliant, Chwaraeon a Thwristiaeth. Cwestiwn 2 - Russell George.
English: I'm very pleased to make a statement about mid Wales because, as no doubt you know, Russell, I used to live there for 20 years, and in those days, of course, there was a lot of interest in promoting the identity of mid Wales. When it came to my role in tourism, I was very keen that we maintained mid Wales as a region.
Welsh: Rwy'n falch iawn o wneud datganiad am y canolbarth oherwydd, fel y gwyddoch chi mae'n siŵr, Russell, roeddwn yn arfer byw yno am 20 mlynedd, ac yn y dyddiau hynny, wrth gwrs, roedd llawer o ddiddordeb mewn hyrwyddo hunaniaeth y canolbarth. Pan gefais ran i'w chwarae yn y diwydiant twristiaeth, roeddwn yn awyddus iawn inni gadw'r canolbarth fel rhanbarth.
English: Thank you, Minister. I very much welcome that answer. Tourism businesses, I think, are looking to the Welsh Government for some kind of aspirational timetable on when they can reopen their doors again - operating, of course, under social distancing guidance. In order to avoid irreversible damage to the mid-Wales economy - and I know you care about the mid-Wales economy as I do - what do you and the Welsh Government plan to do to promote mid Wales as a post-COVID tourist destination? Can you commit to putting a long-term package of financial support in place for the sector, which of course is continuing to be adversely affected and is likely to be for some time to come?
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr, Gweinidog. Rwy'n croesawu'r ateb yna'n fawr. Credaf fod busnesau twristiaeth yn troi at Lywodraeth Cymru am ryw fath o amserlen uchelgeisiol ynghylch pryd y gallan nhw ailagor eu drysau eto - gan weithredu, wrth gwrs, yn ôl canllawiau cadw pellter cymdeithasol. Er mwyn osgoi niwed annileadwy i economi'r canolbarth - ac rwy'n gwybod eich bod yn poeni am economi'r canolbarth fel finnau - beth ydych chi a Llywodraeth Cymru yn bwriadu ei wneud i hyrwyddo'r canolbarth fel cyrchfan i dwristiaid ar ôl cyfnod y COVID? A allwch chi ymrwymo i roi pecyn cymorth ariannol hirdymor ar waith ar gyfer y sector, sydd, wrth gwrs, yn parhau i ddioddef effeithiau andwyol, rhywbeth sy'n debygol o barhau am gryn amser eto?
English: Well, I'm pleased to say I look forward to discussing this with Steve Hewson, who represents mid Wales on our tourism conference, which is a regular fortnightly, and sometimes weekly, event that we hold. In the discussions that I've had with him, the whole question of mid Wales as a major centre for national events - and obviously Steve himself is a chief executive of the Royal Welsh Agricultural Society - that centre, although obviously not going to hold an event this year, remains a key focus for tourism. We must remember that so much of tourism is in fact not just leisure tourism - it's business tourism, it's people visiting other regions in order to share experiences. I'm certain that in this case mid Wales is in a very strong position because of the distinctive centres of events that we have there.
Welsh: Wel, rwy'n falch o ddweud fy mod yn edrych ymlaen at drafod hyn gyda Steve Hewson, sy'n cynrychioli'r canolbarth ar ein cynhadledd dwristiaeth, sy'n ddigwyddiad rheolaidd yr ydym yn ei gynnal bob pythefnos, ac weithiau'n wythnosol. Yn y trafodaethau yr wyf wedi'u cael gydag ef, mae holl gwestiwn y canolbarth fel ardal greiddiol ar gyfer digwyddiadau cenedlaethol - ac yn amlwg mae Steve ei hun yn Brif Weithredwr Cymdeithas Amaethyddol Frenhinol Cymru - mae'r ardal greiddiol honno, er nad yw'n mynd i gynnal digwyddiad eleni yn amlwg, yn parhau i fod yn ganolbwynt allweddol i dwristiaeth. Rhaid inni gofio nad yw llawer o dwristiaeth mewn gwirionedd yn dwristiaeth hamdden yn unig - mae'n dwristiaeth busnes, pobl yn ymweld â rhanbarthau eraill er mwyn rhannu profiadau. Rwy'n sicr, yn yr achos hwn, fod y canolbarth mewn sefyllfa gref iawn oherwydd y canolfannau digwyddiadau unigryw sydd gennym ni yno.
