English: Can I thank the Member for raising this? I think it is really important that these ideas are raised within this Chamber and questions is an appropriate way to actually do that. It does remind me that the controversy suddenly when the suggestion was made that we could potentially move to a four-day working week - I think probably that controversy existed when we moved from a seven-day working week to a six-day working week, when we moved from six days to five days, et cetera. It was probably the same controversy when we talked about stopping children from having to work down the mines and so on. What we're interested in is economic efficiency, economic productivity, but also the well-being of society, the well-being of the people who work in society, and how flexible working and different types of working can actually be more productive. I think that's why there have been so many pilots. I'm looking at the moment - . I know that, across Government, we are taking a close interest in the evidence around the shorter working week. We don't have legislative competence in employment legislation, but there are many areas where we can influence. We have, of course, the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015, and of course we have the Social Partnership and Public Procurement (Wales) Bill coming through as well, which seek to influence well-being and ethical employment and issues like that. But, there have been trials. I'm looking at some of the research around this. Scotland is looking at this closely at the moment. That is, I think, something of interest. North America has had trials. Iceland has had trials. Spain is doing a pilot. Australia is looking at a pilot. So, this isn't just something that has come out of the blue. There are progressive and modern governments all over the world that are looking at ways of better working, better for the people who work, but equally better for the economies as well. The Spanish pilot was launched in 2022, and that's expected to run for two years. So, this is something where we have to keep an open mind. We have to want to seek to make change where change will improve people's working conditions, and we have to look at the evidence from the pilots that are produced. I know that this is something that Welsh Government will be very interested in.
Welsh: A gaf fi ddiolch i'r Aelod am godi hyn? Rwy'n credu ei bod yn bwysig iawn fod y syniadau hyn yn cael eu codi yn y Siambr ac mae cwestiynau'n ffordd briodol o wneud hynny mewn gwirionedd. Mae'n fy atgoffa, pan ddaeth yr argymhelliad y gallem symud i wythnos waith pedwar diwrnod yn bwnc llosg yn sydyn iawn - rwy'n credu ei fod yn bwnc llosg mae'n debyg pan symudwyd o wythnos waith saith diwrnod i wythnos waith chwe diwrnod, pan symudwyd o chwe diwrnod i bum diwrnod, ac ati. Mae'n debygol ei fod yn bwnc llosg pan fuom yn sôn am atal plant rhag gorfod gweithio yn y pyllau glo ac yn y blaen. Yr hyn y mae gennym ddiddordeb ynddo yw effeithlonrwydd economaidd, cynhyrchiant economaidd, ond hefyd llesiant cymdeithas, llesiant y bobl sy'n gweithio yn y gymdeithas, a sut y gall gweithio hyblyg a gwahanol fathau o weithio fod yn fwy cynhyrchiol mewn gwirionedd. Rwy'n meddwl mai dyna pam mae cymaint o gynlluniau peilot wedi bod. Rwy'n edrych ar hyn o bryd - . Rwy'n gwybod, ar draws y Llywodraeth, ein bod yn â diddordeb mawr yn y dystiolaeth ynghylch yr wythnos waith fyrrach. Nid oes gennym gymhwysedd deddfwriaethol mewn deddfwriaeth cyflogaeth, ond mae yna lawer o feysydd y gallwn ddylanwadu arnynt. Mae gennym Ddeddf Llesiant Cenedlaethau'r Dyfodol (Cymru) 2015, ac wrth gwrs, mae gennym y Bil Partneriaeth Gymdeithasol a Chaffael Cyhoeddus (Cymru) yn dod drwodd hefyd, sy'n ceisio dylanwadu ar lesiant a chyflogaeth foesegol a materion o'r fath. Ond fe gafwyd treialon. Rwy'n edrych ar rywfaint o'r ymchwil mewn perthynas â hyn. Mae'r Alban yn edrych ar hyn yn fanwl ar hyn o bryd. Mae'n fater sy'n ennyn diddordeb, rwy'n credu. Mae Gogledd America wedi cael treialon. Mae Gwlad yr Iâ wedi cael treialon. Mae Sbaen yn cynnal cynllun peilot. Mae Awstralia yn edrych ar gynllun peilot. Felly, nid yw hyn yn rhywbeth anarferol. Mae llywodraethau blaengar a modern ledled y byd yn edrych ar ffyrdd o weithio'n well, gwell i'r bobl sy'n gweithio, ond yn yr un modd, gwell i'r economïau hefyd. Cafodd cynllun peilot Sbaen ei lansio yn 2022, ac mae disgwyl iddo fod yn weithredol am ddwy flynedd. Felly, dyma rywbeth lle mae'n rhaid inni gadw meddwl agored. Mae'n rhaid inni fod eisiau newid lle bydd newid yn gwella amodau gwaith pobl, ac mae'n rhaid inni edrych ar y dystiolaeth o'r cynlluniau peilot sy'n cael eu cynhyrchu. Rwy'n gwybod bod hyn yn rhywbeth y bydd gan Lywodraeth Cymru ddiddordeb mawr ynddo.
