English: We haven't had much discussion in this debate, but we have had lots of scrutiny on our capital settlement, and it's worth recognising there that we have had an increase of £60 million to our general capital budget, but also a reduction of £191 million of financial transactions capital. So, overall, our capital funding is down in 2021-22 by £131 million. So, I think that that also demonstrates some of the challenges that we will be facing going ahead. The Conservative spokesperson said that the pandemic has shone a spotlight on devolution. Well, I'd certainly agree with him in that part, and, certainly, it's the first time that many Whitehall Ministers have noticed devolution. And frankly, they don't like it, because they see decisions being taken in Wales in the best interest of the people of Wales, and that includes the financial decisions that we have been making throughout this pandemic. The pandemic has also shone a spotlight, of course, on the UK Government, and many have commented that they've observed a level of cronyism that they're very uncomfortable with, and it's shone a spotlight on waste by the UK Government also. So, I think that it has been instructive in that sense - to have that spotlight shone on both the devolved Governments and also the UK Government. And it was particularly galling to hear from the Conservative spokesperson about his concerns about the farming community and his suggestion that Wales hasn't been let down by the UK Government, because, of course, we have. Farmers and our rural communities in Wales are left short changed by £137 million as a result of the UK Government's decisions. On 27 November, I wrote to the Chief Secretary to the Treasury to ask him for a review of the pillar transfer, requesting that the farm funding of £42 million is returned to Wales. It's February, and I still haven't had a formal response to that request, which I understand will now be reflected in the UK Government's supplementary estimates. But I do understand that that request for that £42 million to be returned to us has been declined, which is extremely disappointing. If the UK Government had replaced EU funding in full, Wales would have been better placed to invest in our domestic rural development programme. It's a shame that the UK Government hasn't taken the opportunity to deliver on the promises that it made to rural Wales. There were lots of comments with regard to local government and the local government settlement. Local authorities again this year have received a good settlement. It's the best settlement that we were able to provide - an increase of £176 million. That's an average increase of 3.8 per cent, and we continue to work with local authorities and Audit Wales to monitor the stability of the sector and individual authorities. Whilst the majority of our funding to local government goes through the hypothecated grant, local authorities also benefit from around £1 billion of support for local services through grants, and I think that that's important to recognise. Local authorities and the WLGA have welcomed the settlement, and I think that we need to recognise that. But equally, I always want to recognise the fact that local authorities are still under a great deal of pressure, and there's absolutely no getting away from that. Two years of good settlements I don't think make up for the decade of austerity that has hit local authorities hard. I do want to address the serious issues that colleagues have, across the Chamber, commented on with regard to free school meals. I do think it's important to recognise that the Welsh Government has demonstrated its commitment to free school meals by becoming the first nation in the UK to guarantee support right throughout the holidays in April 2020, and then we became the first Government to extend this support all the way through to Easter 2022. I hope that those colleagues who have talked on this issue today will be supporting our budget when we come to the final budget, giving colleagues the opportunity to demonstrate their support for that. Building on the £50 million already announced so far this year, the additional £23.3 million is reflected in the budget to continue the support through the school holidays. I will say that it's important that we do continue to explore all of the options available to us and seek to build on the action that we've already taken, but I do recognise also that it has to be within the context of the budgetary constraints that we're under.
Welsh: Nid ydym wedi ei drafod rhyw lawer yn y ddadl hon, ond bu llawer o graffu ar ein setliad cyfalaf, ac mae'n werth cydnabod yn y fan honno ein bod ni wedi cael cynnydd o £60 miliwn i'n cyllideb gyfalaf gyffredinol, ond hefyd gostyngiad o £191 miliwn o gyfalaf trafodiadau ariannol. Felly, yn gyffredinol, mae ein cyllid cyfalaf wedi gostwng £131 miliwn yn 2021-22. Felly, rwy'n credu bod hynny hefyd yn dangos rhai o'r heriau y byddwn ni'n eu hwynebu wrth symud ymlaen. Dywedodd llefarydd y Ceidwadwyr fod y pandemig wedi tynnu sylw at ddatganoli. Wel, byddwn i'n sicr yn cytuno ag ef ynglŷn â hynny, ac, yn sicr, dyma'r tro cyntaf i lawer o Weinidogion Whitehall sylwi ar ddatganoli. Ac a dweud y gwir, nid ydyn nhw'n ei hoffi, oherwydd eu bod nhw'n gweld penderfyniadau'n cael eu gwneud yng Nghymru er lles pobl Cymru, a bod hynny'n cynnwys y penderfyniadau ariannol yr ydym ni wedi bod yn eu gwneud drwy gydol y pandemig hwn. Mae'r pandemig hefyd wedi tynnu sylw, wrth gwrs, at Lywodraeth y DU, ac mae llawer wedi dweud eu bod nhw wedi gweld lefel o ffrindgarwch y maen nhw'n anghyfforddus iawn ag ef, ac mae wedi tynnu sylw at wastraff gan Lywodraeth y DU hefyd. Felly, rwyf i'n credu y bu'n addysgiadol yn yr ystyr hwnnw - i gael y sylw hwnnw ar y Llywodraethau datganoledig a Llywodraeth y DU hefyd. Ac roedd yn arbennig o sarhaus clywed gan lefarydd y Ceidwadwyr am ei bryderon ynglŷn â'r gymuned ffermio a'i awgrym nad yw Cymru wedi ei siomi gan Lywodraeth y DU, oherwydd, wrth gwrs, ein bod ni. Mae ffermwyr a'n cymunedau gwledig yng Nghymru wedi eu gadael yn brin o £137 miliwn o ganlyniad i benderfyniadau Llywodraeth y DU. Ar 27 Tachwedd, ysgrifennais at Brif Ysgrifennydd y Trysorlys i ofyn iddo am adolygiad o'r trosglwyddiad pileri, yn gofyn i'r cyllid ffermydd o £42 miliwn gael ei ddychwelyd i Gymru. Mae'n fis Chwefror, ac nid wyf i wedi cael ymateb ffurfiol i'r cais hwnnw o hyd, ac rwyf ar ddeall y bydd hyn yn cael ei adlewyrchu yn amcangyfrifon atodol Llywodraeth y DU erbyn hyn. Ond rwyf i yn deall bod y cais hwnnw i'r £42 miliwn hwnnw gael ei ddychwelyd atom wedi ei wrthod, sy'n siomedig dros ben. Pe byddai Llywodraeth y DU wedi disodli cyllid yr UE yn llawn, byddai Cymru wedi bod mewn gwell sefyllfa i fuddsoddi yn ein rhaglen datblygu gwledig ddomestig. Mae'n drueni nad yw Llywodraeth y DU wedi manteisio ar y cyfle i gyflawni'r addewidion a wnaeth i Gymru wledig. Cafwyd llawer o sylwadau ynglŷn â llywodraeth leol a'r setliad llywodraeth leol. Mae awdurdodau lleol eto eleni wedi cael setliad da. Dyma'r setliad gorau y gallem ni ei ddarparu - cynnydd o £176 miliwn. Mae hynny'n gynnydd cyfartalog o 3.8 y cant, ac rydym yn parhau i weithio gydag awdurdodau lleol ac Archwilio Cymru i fonitro sefydlogrwydd y sector ac awdurdodau unigol. Er bod y rhan fwyaf o'n cyllid i lywodraeth leol yn mynd drwy'r grant wedi'i neilltuo, mae awdurdodau lleol hefyd yn elwa ar ryw £1 biliwn o gymorth i wasanaethau lleol drwy grantiau, ac rwy'n credu ei bod yn bwysig cydnabod hynny. Mae awdurdodau lleol a CLlLC wedi croesawu'r setliad, ac rwy'n credu bod angen i ni gydnabod hynny. Ond yn yr un modd, rwyf i bob amser yn dymuno cydnabod y ffaith bod awdurdodau lleol yn dal i fod o dan lawer iawn o bwysau, ac nid oes dim dianc rhag hynny o gwbl. Nid wyf i'n credu bod dwy flynedd o setliadau da yn gwneud iawn am y degawd o gyni sydd wedi taro awdurdodau lleol yn galed. Rwyf i yn dymuno mynd i'r afael â'r materion difrifol y mae cyd-Aelodau, ar draws y Siambr, wedi gwneud sylwadau arnyn nhw o ran prydau ysgol am ddim. Rwyf i yn credu ei bod yn bwysig cydnabod bod Llywodraeth Cymru wedi dangos ei hymrwymiad i brydau ysgol am ddim drwy fod y genedl gyntaf yn y DU i warantu cymorth drwy gydol y gwyliau ym mis Ebrill 2020, ac yna ni oedd y Llywodraeth gyntaf i ymestyn y cymorth hwn yr holl ffordd i Pasg 2022. Rwy'n gobeithio y bydd y cyd-Aelodau hynny sydd wedi siarad ar y mater hwn heddiw yn cefnogi ein cyllideb pan fyddwn yn dod at y gyllideb derfynol, gan roi cyfle i gyd-Aelodau ddangos eu cefnogaeth i hynny. Gan ategu'r £50 miliwn sydd eisoes wedi ei gyhoeddi hyd yma eleni, adlewyrchir y £23.3 miliwn ychwanegol yn y gyllideb i barhau â'r gefnogaeth drwy gydol gwyliau'r ysgol. Fe fyddaf i'n dweud ei bod yn bwysig ein bod ni yn parhau i archwilio'r holl opsiynau sydd ar gael i ni ac yn ceisio adeiladu ar y camau yr ydym ni wedi eu cymryd eisoes, ond rwy'n cydnabod hefyd bod yn rhaid iddo fod yng nghyd-destun y cyfyngiadau cyllidebol yr ydym ni oddi tanyn nhw.
