English: Absolutely. That's the argument I've been putting here for over 13 years. As the opening paragraph of the October 2014 'Homes for All' manifesto states, 'There is a housing crisis.' This crisis has been caused by Labour's failure to build new affordable homes, not the right to buy, which has been emasculated under Labour and seen sales dwindle from the thousands to just a few hundred each year. Instead, Welsh Conservatives proposed to reform the right to buy, investing the proceeds of council sales in new social housing, thereby increasing housing supply and helping to tackle Labour's housing supply crisis. This reflects the re-invigorated right-to-buy policy in England, where the UK Government committed to reinvest, for the first time ever, the additional receipts from right-to-buy sales in new affordable rented housing across England as a whole. If a council were to fail to spend the receipts on new affordable rented housing within three years, it would be required to return the unspent money to Government with interest, providing a strong financial incentive for councils to get on with building more homes for local people. Since 2010, more than twice as much council housing has been built in England than in all of the 13 years combined of the last Labour Government, when English waiting lists nearly doubled as the number of social homes for rent was cut by 421,000. As a council tenant told me, 'The right to buy scheme offers us the opportunity to plan for a future without requiring state assistanceI urge you to do anything in your power to oppose the proposal to end the Right to Buy in Wales.' Instead of traipsing out 30-year-old dogma, the Welsh Government should be helping people like this and using every available tool to tackle their housing supply crisis, which they have imposed on Wales.
Welsh: Yn bendant. Dyna'r ddadl rwyf wedi bod yn ei rhoi yma ers dros 13 mlynedd. Fel y mae paragraff agoriadol maniffesto Cartrefi i Bawb ar gyfer Hydref 2014 yn datgan, mae yna argyfwng tai. Mae'r argyfwng wedi cael ei achosi gan fethiant Llafur i adeiladu cartrefi fforddiadwy newydd, nid yr hawl i brynu, sydd wedi'i wanhau dan Lafur ac wedi gweld gwerthiannau'n edwino o'r miloedd i ychydig gannoedd yn unig bob blwyddyn. Yn lle hynny, argymhellodd y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig y dylid diwygio'r hawl i brynu, gan fuddsoddi elw o werthiannau cynghorau mewn tai cymdeithasol newydd, a chynyddu'r cyflenwad tai drwy hynny gan helpu i fynd i'r afael ag argyfwng cyflenwad tai Llafur. Mae hyn yn adlewyrchu'r polisi hawl i brynu a ailfywiogwyd yn Lloegr, lle mae Llywodraeth y DU wedi ymrwymo i ailfuddsoddi, am y tro cyntaf erioed, y derbyniadau ychwanegol o werthiannau hawl i brynu mewn tai rhent fforddiadwy newydd ar draws Lloegr gyfan. Pe bai cyngor yn methu gwario'r derbyniadau ar dai rhent fforddiadwy newydd o fewn tair blynedd, byddai'n rhaid iddo ddychwelyd yr arian nas gwariwyd i'r Llywodraeth gyda llog, gan greu cymhelliant ariannol cryf i gynghorau fwrw iddi i adeiladu mwy o gartrefi ar gyfer pobl leol. Ers 2010, mae mwy na dwywaith cymaint o dai cyngor wedi cael eu hadeiladu yn Lloegr nag ym mhob un o 13 mlynedd y Llywodraeth Lafur ddiwethaf gyda'i gilydd, pan welwyd rhestrau aros yn Lloegr yn dyblu, bron iawn, ar ôl torri 421,000 oddi ar nifer y cartrefi cymdeithasol ar rent. Fel y dywedodd tenant cyngor wrthyf, Mae'r cynllun hawl i brynu yn cynnig cyfle i ni gynllunio ar gyfer dyfodol heb fod angen cymorth y wladwriaeth rwy'n eich annog i wneud unrhyw beth yn eich gallu i wrthwynebu'r cynnig i roi terfyn ar yr Hawl i Brynu yng Nghymru. Yn hytrach nag ailgylchu dogma 30 oed, dylai Llywodraeth Cymru helpu pobl fel hyn a defnyddio pob arf sydd ar gael i fynd i'r afael â'r argyfwng cyflenwad tai y maent wedi ei greu yng Nghymru.
