English: Thank you so much, Minister. Minister, as far as I'm concerned, the welcome ticket is a fantastic initiative and has been very much welcomed by refugees all across Wales. However, it has been brought to my attention directly from asylum seekers and the Welsh Refugee Council that improvements are needed to make the scheme even better. I do apologise to everyone here if I do sound like I'm repeating myself, Minister, because I did recently raise it in a business statement, but I thought I'd take the opportunity to question you directly myself. To get onto a bus or a train, refugees have to show either a biometric residence permit, a passport or a letter from the Home Office. I'm sure that you'll agree with me that it is a very important document that refugees are having to carry around with them every time that they want to access public transport here in Wales. And some refugees have been left incredibly embarrassed and stopped using the scheme altogether because some services do not actually recognise the welcome ticket. Apparently, there is a misunderstanding by drivers of the various types of status on biometric residence permits, so, sadly, Minister, many asylum seekers are not eligible for the welcome ticket as well. By extending the scheme to include asylum seekers, it would enable them to better integrate into life in Wales by allowing them to attend English lessons and have volunteering opportunities. So, Minister, will you commit to looking at rolling out a special card that will be universally recognised by drivers to avoid confusion and to stop refugees from having to carry important papers? And will you also look at extending the welcome ticket to include asylum seekers? Thank you so much, Minister.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn, Weinidog. O'm rhan i, mae'r tocyn croeso'n fenter wych sydd wedi'i chroesawu'n fawr gan ffoaduriaid ledled Cymru. Fodd bynnag, dygwyd i'm sylw yn uniongyrchol gan geiswyr lloches a chan Gyngor Ffoaduriaid Cymru fod angen gwelliannau i wneud y cynllun hyd yn oed yn well. Ymddiheuraf i bawb yma os wyf yn swnio fel pe bawn yn ailadrodd fy hun, Weinidog, gan imi godi'r mater yn ddiweddar mewn datganiad busnes, ond roeddwn yn meddwl y byddwn yn achub ar y cyfle i'ch holi'n uniongyrchol fy hun. I fynd ar fws neu drên, rhaid i ffoaduriaid ddangos naill ai cerdyn preswylio biometrig, pasbort neu lythyr gan y Swyddfa Gartref. Rwy'n siŵr y byddwch yn cytuno â mi ei bod yn ddogfen bwysig iawn y mae'n rhaid i ffoaduriaid fynd â hi gyda hwy bob tro y maent am gael mynediad at drafnidiaeth gyhoeddus yma yng Nghymru. Ac mae hyn wedi gwneud i rai ffoaduriaid deimlo embaras a rhoi'r gorau i ddefnyddio'r cynllun yn gyfan gwbl gan nad yw rhai gwasanaethau'n cydnabod y tocyn croeso. Yn ôl pob tebyg, ceir camddealltwriaeth ymhlith gyrwyr o'r gwahanol fathau o statws ar gardiau preswylio biometrig, felly yn anffodus, Weinidog, nid yw llawer o geiswyr lloches yn gymwys ar gyfer y tocyn croeso ychwaith. Drwy ymestyn y cynllun i gynnwys ceiswyr lloches, byddai'n eu galluogi i integreiddio'n well i fywyd yng Nghymru drwy ganiatáu iddynt fynychu gwersi Saesneg a chael cyfleoedd i wirfoddoli. Felly, Weinidog, a wnewch chi ymrwymo i edrych ar gyflwyno cerdyn arbennig y bydd pob gyrrwr yn ei gydnabod er mwyn osgoi dryswch ac i atal ffoaduriaid rhag gorfod cario dogfennau pwysig? Ac a wnewch chi hefyd edrych ar ymestyn y tocyn croeso i gynnwys ceiswyr lloches? Diolch yn fawr iawn, Weinidog.
