English: Leader of the house, could we have a statement from the Minister for transport on progress regarding the improvements to Five Mile Lane in the Vale of Glamorgan? From previous answers I've had back, there was an indication that the start date would be the end of this month, September 2016. I've put some WAQs in through the summer months to try and clarify land acquisition and cost to date, and the answer I had back was that I needed to speak to the Vale of Glamorgan Council because Welsh Government didn't have a clue. Now, that doesn't seem to be a very sensible position for the Welsh Government to find itself in when they've made £26 million-worth of Welsh Government money available - that a Member of this institution, just seeking clarification on the expenditure and the start time, is referred to the local authority, when you have such a big financial stake in it. So, I would ask that a statement does come forward. I commend the Government for actually making these improvements, but, again, I don't think it's unreasonable for a Member to seek clarity over the start date and over how the money is being spent on acquiring land and securing the route that the new road will take. If I could also just make the point to the leader of the house that the answers that do come back from Welsh Government do leave a lot to be desired. It does come to a point when Members of this institution - and I've had to do this on several occasions now - have to use the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to seek the answers rather than actually use the normal channels that should be available to a Member. I would ask you to use your good offices, as leader of the house, to try and work for greater clarity and better answers from the Cabinet Secretaries around the Cabinet table, so that Members do not have to refer to the Freedom of Information Act when seeking perfectly justifiable answers on behalf of their constituents.
Welsh: Arweinydd y tŷ, a gawn ni ddatganiad gan y Gweinidog dros drafnidiaeth ar y cynnydd o ran y gwelliannau i Five Mile Lane ym Mro Morgannwg? Yn yr atebion blaenorol yr wyf wedi eu cael, roedd awgrym y byddai'r dyddiad cychwyn ddiwedd y mis hwn, Medi 2016. Rwyf wedi cyflwyno rhai cwestiynau ysgrifenedig i'r Cynulliad yn ystod misoedd yr haf i geisio egluro materion caffael tir a chost hyd yn hyn, a'r ateb a gefais oedd bod angen i mi siarad â Chyngor Bro Morgannwg gan nad oedd syniad gan Lywodraeth Cymru. Nawr, nid yw hynny'n ymddangos yn sefyllfa synhwyrol iawn i Lywodraeth Cymru fod ynddi ar ôl iddi neilltuo £26 miliwn o gyllid Llywodraeth Cymru - bod Aelod o'r sefydliad hwn, sy'n gofyn am eglurhad ar y gwariant a'r amser dechrau, yn cael ei gyfeirio at yr awdurdod lleol, ar ôl i chi wneud cyfraniad ariannol mor fawr. Felly, byddwn i'n gofyn am ddatganiad. Rwy'n cymeradwyo'r Llywodraeth am wneud y gwelliannau hyn, ond, unwaith eto, nid wyf yn credu ei bod yn afresymol i Aelod geisio eglurhad am y dyddiad dechrau ac am sut y mae'r arian yn cael ei wario ar brynu tir a sicrhau llwybr y ffordd newydd. A gaf i hefyd ddweud wrth arweinydd y tŷ nad yw'r atebion a ddaw yn ôl gan Lywodraeth Cymru yn foddhaol iawn. Mae'n cyrraedd pwynt pan fo Aelodau'r sefydliad hwn-ac rwyf wedi gorfod gwneud hyn ar sawl achlysur-yn gorfod defnyddio Deddf Rhyddid Gwybodaeth 2000 i geisio atebion yn hytrach na defnyddio'r llwybrau arferol a ddylai fod ar gael i Aelod mewn gwirionedd. Byddwn i'n gofyn i chi ddefnyddio eich swyddogaeth, fel arweinydd y tŷ, i geisio mwy o eglurder a gwell atebion gan Ysgrifenyddion y Cabinet o amgylch bwrdd y Cabinet, fel nad oes yn rhaid i Aelodau gyfeirio at y Ddeddf Rhyddid Gwybodaeth wrth geisio atebion y mae'n gwbl gyfiawn eu bod yn eu cael ar ran eu hetholwyr.
