English: It was therefore shocking when it not only failed on all counts as Wales once again qualified for structural funds. Even after the EU was expanded by the admission of former Warsaw pact states from the east of Europe, despite billions of euros being pumped into west Wales and the Valleys, our nation was still as poor, or even poorer, than many of the former Soviet bloc countries that had gained EU membership. Once more, billions of euros were flooding into Wales in an attempt to level up Wales. What Plaid like to gloss over is the fact that these funds could only be spent on terms set by the EU. This institution had no say, no sway, so it's little wonder that what emerged was a string of broken promises, failed projects and a stagnant economy. The UK Government's replacement schemes are in stark contrast. They are designed to deliver maximum benefit to local communities, designed to give local residents the final say in projects to improve their areas, yet this is unacceptable to Plaid and Labour politicians. They don't care about local communities, they only care about holding power onto them. I urge Members to reject this motion and support -
Welsh: Roedd yn frawychus felly pan fethodd ar bob cyfrif wrth i Gymru ddod yn gymwys unwaith eto ar gyfer cronfeydd strwythurol. Hyd yn oed ar ôl i'r UE gael ei ehangu drwy dderbyn hen wladwriaethau cytundeb Warsaw o ddwyrain Ewrop, er bod biliynau o ewros yn cael eu pwmpio i orllewin Cymru a'r Cymoedd, roedd ein gwlad yn dal i fod mor dlawd, neu hyd yn oed yn dlotach, na llawer o'r hen wledydd bloc Sofietaidd a oedd wedi llenwi'r UE. Unwaith eto, roedd biliynau o ewros yn gorlifo i Gymru mewn ymgais i godi'r gwastad yng Nghymru. Yr hyn y mae Plaid Cymru yn hoff o'i anwybyddu yw'r ffaith mai dim ond ar delerau a bennwyd gan yr UE y gellid gwario'r arian hwn. Nid oedd gan y sefydliad hwn unrhyw lais, unrhyw ddylanwad, felly nid yw'n syndod mai'r hyn a ddaeth i'r amlwg oedd rhes o addewidion wedi'u torri, prosiectau aflwyddiannus ac economi ddisymud. Mae cynlluniau newydd Llywodraeth y DU yn gwrthgyferbynnu'n llwyr. Eu nod yw sicrhau'r budd mwyaf posibl i gymunedau lleol, gyda'r bwriad o roi'r gair olaf i drigolion lleol mewn prosiectau i wella eu hardaloedd, ac eto mae hyn yn annerbyniol i wleidyddion Plaid Cymru a Llafur. Nid ydynt yn poeni am gymunedau lleol, maent ond yn poeni am ddal eu gafael ar bŵer. Rwy'n annog yr Aelodau i wrthod y cynnig hwn a chefnogi -
English: Hold on. Hold on.
Welsh: Gan bwyll. Gan bwyll.
English: - our amendment tonight. Thank you very much.
Welsh: - ein gwelliant heno. Diolch yn fawr iawn.
English: I think you're too angry, and I would consider just calming down in your contribution.
Welsh: Rwy'n credu eich bod yn rhy ddig, a dylech ystyried ymdawelu yn eich cyfraniad.
English: No, no, that was anger. That was too much. I ask you to reflect on that for your future contributions. Yes, that was a bit of a shock there, actually. I'm going to ask the Minister now to contribute. Rebecca Evans. And I'm sure you'll calm things down, passionate as you are, but calm passion is always best, I think.
Welsh: Na, na, dicter oedd hynny. Roedd yn ormod. Gofynnaf ichi ystyried hynny ar gyfer eich cyfraniadau yn y dyfodol. Oedd, roedd hynny'n dipyn o sioc yno, a dweud y gwir. Rwy'n mynd i ofyn i'r Gweinidog gyfrannu yn awr. Rebecca Evans. Ac rwy'n siŵr y byddwch chi'n tawelu pethau, er mor angerddol ydych chi, ond angerdd tawel sydd orau bob amser yn fy marn i.
English: Thank you. I'm very grateful for you taking an intervention -
Welsh: Diolch. Rwy'n ddiolchgar iawn i chi am dderbyn ymyriad -
English: No, I've finished, actually. [ Laughter.]
Welsh: Na, rwyf wedi gorffen, mewn gwirionedd. [ Chwerthin.]
English: He fooled me as well, Darren.
Welsh: Fe'm twyllodd innau hefyd, Darren.
English: The proposal is to agree the motion without amendment. Does any Member object? [ Objection.] Yes, there is objection. Therefore, I defer voting until voting time.
Welsh: Y cwestiwn yw: a ddylid derbyn y cynnig heb ei ddiwygio? A oes unrhyw Aelod yn gwrthwynebu? [ Gwrthwynebiad.] Oes. Mae yna wrthwynebiad, felly dwi'n gohirio'r bleidlais tan y cyfnod pleidleisio.
English: We now reach voting time. We will take a short break to prepare.
Welsh: Dyma ni'n cyrraedd y cyfnod pleidleisio. Fe gymerwn ni doriad byr, felly, i baratoi.
English: That brings us to voting time. The first vote this afternoon is the vote on item 5, the Member debate under Standing Order 11.21 (iv) on decarbonising public sector pensions. I call for a vote on the motion tabled in the name of Jack Sargeant. Open the vote. Close the vote. In favour 35, 12 abstentions, 1 against. And therefore the motion is agreed.
Welsh: Dyma ni'n cyrraedd y cyfnod pleidleisio. Y bleidlais gyntaf y prynhawn yma yw'r bleidlais ar eitem 5, sef y ddadl Aelodau o dan Reol Sefydlog 11.21 (iv) ar ddatgarboneiddio pensiynau'r sector gyhoeddus. Dwi'n galw am bleidlais ar y cynnig a gyflwynwyd yn enw Jack Sargeant. Agor y bleidlais. Cau'r bleidlais. O blaid 35, yn ymatal 12, yn erbyn un. Ac felly mae'r cynnig wedi ei gymeradwyo.
English: The next vote is on item 7, the Plaid Cymru debate on post-Brexit funding. I call for a vote on the motion tabled in the name of Siân Gwenllian. Open the vote. Close the vote. In favour 35, no abstentions, 13 against. Therefore, the motion is agreed.
Welsh: Mae'r bleidlais nesaf ar eitem 7, sef dadl Plaid Cymru ar gyllid ar ôl Brexit. Dwi'n galw am bleidlais ar y cynnig a gyflwynwyd yn enw Siân Gwenllian. Agor y bleidlais. Cau'r bleidlais. O blaid 35, neb yn ymatal, 13 yn erbyn. Mae'r cynnig yna, felly, wedi ei dderbyn.
English: And that concludes voting for this afternoon.
Welsh: A dyna ni ddiwedd ar y pleidleisio am y prynhawn yma.
English: I wanted to thank Carolyn Thomas for bringing this debate before the Senedd. What a wonderful and important debate it's been. The pandemic has led so many of us to re-evaluate the importance of nature in our own localities. One doesn't have to travel to mountains and lakes to experience nature in all its glory, it's also there in our villages, or it could be if we allow it to grow. Wild flowers, as we've heard in that very passionate speech from Carolyn, provide some of the most beautiful spectacles and I'm fully supportive of any efforts to see more wild flowers in bloom. Finally, the nature emergency, of course, affects us all, but this is one way in which we can play a constructive part in species recovery and ensure that more people can appreciate nature in their daily lives. Thank you, once again, to Carolyn for this debate.
Welsh: Roeddwn i eisiau diolch i Carolyn Thomas am ddod â'r ddadl hon gerbron y Senedd. Am ddadl hyfryd a phwysig mae wedi bod. Mae'r pandemig wedi gwneud i gynifer ohonom ni ailystyried pwysigrwydd y natur sydd o'n cwmpas ni yn ein milltir sgwâr. Nid oes rhaid teithio i'r mynyddoedd na llynoedd i weld gogoniant y byd naturiol, mae hefyd ar gael yn ein pentrefi, neu fe all fod os ydyn ni'n gadael iddo dyfu. Mae blodau gwyllt, fel dŷn ni wedi clywed yn yr araith hynod passionate yna gan Carolyn, ymysg y golygfeydd hyfrytaf yr ydym yn gallu'u gweld, ac rwy'n llwyr gefnogol o unrhyw ymgais i gael mwy o flodau gwyllt yn tyfu. Yn olaf, mae'r crisis natur yn un sy'n effeithio arnom ni oll, ond dyma un ffordd y gallem ni chwarae rhan adeiladol mewn adfywio rhywogaethau a sicrhau bod mwy o bobl yn gwerthfawrogi natur yn eu bywydau bob dydd. Diolch yn fawr iawn eto i Carolyn am y ddadl.
English: Thank you to the Member for North Wales for bringing this forward. As someone who brought forward the statement of opinion on hedges and edges that the Member kindly co-signed as well, I think this is really important. The agricultural community absolutely has a part to play in this as well. It's about planting the right tree in the right place for the right reasons, and they are absolutely on board with that. A little bit of a plea to the Deputy Minister, though, while he's here: let's not make public safety secondary to this. I draw the example of Milton in my constituency where verges are having a detrimental impact on visualisation on the road on the A477, with constituents really worried about the access from their properties onto the main road, because the verges are encroaching onto the road itself. But, Carolyn, you mentioned how you slow down to look at these verges and enjoy what's there, and I was reminded of the phrase from W.H. Davies's poem, 'Leisure': 'What is this life if, full of care, / We have no time to stand and stare?' I think it's very fitting that we do take a little bit more time to stare and enjoy what nature gives us in Wales. Diolch.
Welsh: Diolch i'r Aelod dros Ogledd Cymru am gyflwyno hyn. Fel rhywun a gyflwynodd y datganiad barn ar berthi ac ymylon caeau y mae'r Aelod yn garedig iawn wedi'i gyd-lofnodi hefyd, credaf fod hyn yn bwysig iawn. Yn bendant, mae gan y gymuned amaethyddol ran i'w chwarae yn hyn yn ogystal. Mae'n ymwneud â phlannu'r goeden iawn yn y lle iawn am y rhesymau iawn, ac maent yn gwbl gytûn ar hynny. Ond os caf apelio ar y Dirprwy Weinidog gan ei fod yma: gadewch inni beidio â gwneud diogelwch y cyhoedd yn eilradd i hyn. Tynnaf sylw at enghraifft Milton yn fy etholaeth lle mae lleiniau ymylon ffyrdd yn cael effaith andwyol ar welededd ar ffordd yr A477, gydag etholwyr yn poeni'n fawr am fynediad o'u heiddo i'r brif ffordd, oherwydd mae'r ymylon yn tyfu dros y ffordd ei hun. Ond Carolyn, fe sonioch chi ynglŷn â sut rydych yn arafu i edrych ar yr ymylon ffyrdd ac yn mwynhau'r hyn sydd yno, a chefais fy atgoffa o gerdd W.H. Davies, 'Leisure': 'Beth yw'r bywyd hwn, os nad oes gennym amser, yn ein prysurdeb, i sefyll ac i syllu?' Rwy'n credu ei bod yn addas iawn inni dreulio ychydig mwy o amser yn syllu a mwynhau'r hyn y mae natur yn ei roi i ni yng Nghymru. Diolch.
English: Thank you, Deputy Minister. And that brings today's proceedings to a close.
Welsh: Diolch, Dirprwy Weinidog. A daw hynny â thrafodion heddiw i ben.
English: Thank you, Chair. I would like to contribute in Welsh. Can we just check that the interpretation is working? So, the only thing I would add that's important, as part of the work of this committee and the way it works in the future, is that you ask the health board to provide the data that they use to make their decisions - the data regarding the number of people who have suffered serious injuries, or the number of people who have died following treatment and so on. It's important that we know what data the health board uses to come to the conclusions that they do, on treatments and where to allocate that treatment. I think it's important as we move forward, and I'm more than happy to share with the committee my information when that time comes.
Welsh: Diolch, Gadeirydd. Dwi am gyfrannu'n Gymraeg. Gawn ni wirio bod y cyfieithu'n gweithio? Yr unig beth fuaswn i'n ychwanegu yw ei fod o'n bwysig, fel rhan o'r gwaith y bydd y pwyllgor yma'n ymwneud ag o yn y dyfodol, eich bod chi'n gofyn i'r bwrdd iechyd ddarparu'r data y maen nhw'n gwneud eu penderfyniadau ar ei sail - data ynghylch nifer y bobl sydd wedi cael anafiadau difrifol, neu nifer y bobl sydd wedi marw mewn triniaethau ac yn y blaen. Mae gwybod pa ddata mae'r bwrdd iechyd yn ei ddefnyddio er mwyn dod i'r penderfyniadau y maen nhw'n eu gwneud ar wariant ac ar driniaethau, a lle mae lleoli'r triniaethau yna, dwi'n meddwl yn mynd i fod yn bwysig wrth symud ymlaen. Mae gen i ychydig yn fy swyddfa i, a dwi'n fwy na hapus i'w rannu efo'r pwyllgor yma pan fydd yr amser yn dod.
English: Good morning and welcome, everyone, to the Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee at the Senedd. We have a number of Members joining us via video-conference this morning: Janet Finch-Saunders, Delyth Jewell, Joyce Watson and Huw Irranca-Davies. Jenny Rathbone is here in the room with us, in Tŷ Hywel. And apart from procedural adaptations relating to conducting meetings remotely, all other Standing Order requirements remain in place. You will be aware that the public parts of this meeting will be broadcast live on Senedd.tv, and a Record of Proceedings will be published as usual. This is a bilingual meeting, so there is interpretation available from Welsh to English. If a fire alarm sounds, then Members and witnesses need to leave the room via the fire exists and follow the instructions of ushers and staff. We're not expecting a fire alarm today, so I would recommend that you do follow those instructions if that does happen. Can I remind everyone also to turn off the sound on any electronic devices that you may have? And can I ask specifically if Members have any declarations of interest to make? No. Thank you very much. So, the housekeeping issues have been dealt with.
Welsh: Bore da a chroeso i chi i gyd i Bwyllgor Newid Hinsawdd, yr Amgylchedd a Seilwaith Senedd Cymru. Mae gennym ni nifer o Aelodau yn ymuno â ni dros gynhadledd fideo y bore yma, sef Janet Finch-Saunders, Delyth Jewell, Joyce Watson a Huw Irranca-Davies. Mae Jenny Rathbone a minnau yma yn yr ystafell yn Nhŷ Hywel. Ac, ar wahân i'r addasiadau sy'n ymwneud â chynnal y trafodion mewn fformat hybrid, mae holl ofynion eraill y Rheolau Sefydlog, wrth gwrs, yn aros yn eu lle. Mi fyddwch chi'n ymwybodol bod eitemau cyhoeddus y cyfarfod yma yn cael eu darlledu'n fyw ar Senedd.tv. Ac mi fydd Cofnod y Trafodion yn cael ei gyhoeddi, yn ôl yr arfer. Mae hwn yn gyfarfod dwyieithog, felly mae yna, wrth gwrs, gyfieithu ar y pryd ar gael o'r Gymraeg i'r Saesneg. Os bydd larwm tân yn canu, yna mae angen i Aelodau a thystion adael yr ystafell drwy'r allanfeydd tân a dilyn cyfarwyddiadau gan y tywyswyr a'r staff. Dydyn ni ddim yn disgwyl ymarfer tân, felly byddwn i'n argymell eich bod chi'n gwrando ar y cyfarwyddid yna os ydy hynny yn digwydd. A gaf i atgoffa pawb hefyd i ddiffodd y sain ar unrhyw ddyfais symudol sydd gennych chi? Gaf i ofyn hefyd yn benodol os oes gan unrhyw un unrhyw fuddiannau i'w datgan? Na. Iawn. Ocê. Diolch yn fawr iawn. Reit, dyna ni. Mae'r materion cadw trefn yna wedi cael eu delio â nhw.
English: We will move on to the substance of the meeting this morning, which is scrutiny of the future of bus and rail transport in Wales, and we will be interviewing three panels during the day, but we're starting, of course, with the first panel. I welcome two academics to our meeting. A very warm welcome to you. Perhaps it would be more appropriate for you to introduce yourselves for the record and to give your titles. So, we will start with Mark.
Welsh: Gwnawn ni symud ymlaen at waith go iawn y pwyllgor y bore yma, sef wrth gwrs i graffu ar ddyfodol gwasanaethau bysiau a threnau yng Nghymru, ac rydyn ni'n mynd i gyfweld â thri phanel yn ystod y dydd, ond yn cychwyn, wrth gwrs, gyda'r panel cyntaf. Dwi'n croesawu dau academydd atom ni. Croeson cynnes i chi. Dwi'n meddwl efallai y byddai'n fwy addas ichi gyflwyno eich hunain ar gyfer y record, a'ch teitl, wrth gwrs. Felly, gwnawn ni gychwyn gyda Mark, efallai.
English: Welcome back to the committee. We move on to the third item on the agenda, namely to hear evidence on bus and rail transport in Wales. This will be the second evidence session for us today, the second panel of witnesses representing passenger interest groups and non-governmental organisations. I'll ask the witnesses to introduce themselves. We'll start with Joe.
Welsh: Croeso nôl i'r pwyllgor. Dŷn ni'n symud at y trydydd eitem ar ein hagenda ni, sef clywed tystiolaeth ar deithio ar fysiau a rheilffyrdd yng Nghymru. Hon fydd yr ail sesiwn dystiolaeth i ni heddiw, yr ail banel o dystion yn cynrychioli grwpiau buddiannau teithwyr a chyrff anllywodraethol. Gwnaf i ofyn i'r tystion gyflwyno eu hunain. Gwnawn ni gychwyn gyda Joe.
English: Thank you very much to the three of you. We'll move on straight into questions, and I'll ask Janet Finch-Saunders to ask the first question.
Welsh: Grêt. Diolch yn fawr iawn i'r tri ohonoch chi. Awn ni'n syth i gwestiynau, felly, a gwnaf i wahodd Janet Finch-Saunders i ofyn y cwestiwn cyntaf.
English: Welcome back to the committee. We move on to item 4 of the meeting today to continue with the evidence on bus and rail transport in Wales. We move to a panel representing the bus and community transport sector. Welcome to you all. I'll ask you all to introduce yourselves for the record briefly, starting with Gemma.
Welsh: Croeso nôl i'r pwyllgor. Dŷn ni'n symud i bedwaredd eitem y cyfarfod heddiw i barhau â'r dystiolaeth ar deithio ar fysiau a'r rheilffordd yng Nghymru, ac rŷn ni'n symud at banel o gynrychiolwyr o'r sector bysiau a thrafnidiaeth gymunedol. Croeso i chi. Gwnaf i ofyn i chi i gyflwyno eich hunain yn fyr, os gwnewch chi, ac fe wnawn ni ddechrau fan hyn, gyda Gemma.
English: Thank you, Chair. What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of the Government's idea of introducing an all-Wales franchise for bus services, and what would be the factors that would need to be taken into consideration in order for this idea to be successful?
Welsh: Diolch, Cadeirydd. Beth ydych chi'n meddwl ydy'r manteision a'r anfanteision o bolisi - wel, syniad nawr - y Llywodraeth o gyflwyno franchise Cymru gyfan ar gyfer gwasanaethau bysus, a beth fyddai'r ffactorau fydd angen cymryd mewn i ystyriaeth er mwyn i'r syniad yma droi yn llwyddiant?
English: Okay. With that, could I thank you all for your evidence? As I said earlier, we've had a very rich seam of evidence in this session and the previous session. So, thank you all for that. As I tell everybody, you will have a copy of the draft transcript to check for accuracy and that it's a fair reflection of what you've shared with us today, and, evidently, there will be a lot more discussion as we tackle the legislation we've referred to and other areas over the months and years to come. So, thank you very much to all of you.
Welsh: Iawn. Gyda hynny, gaf i ddiolch i'r pedwar ohonoch chi am eich tystiolaeth? Rŷn ni, fel rôn i'n dweud yn gynharach, wedi cael cyfoeth o dystiolaeth yn y sesiwn yma ac yn y sesiynau blaenorol, felly diolch o galon i chi am hynny. Mi fyddwch chi, fel dwi'n dweud wrth bawb, yn cael copi o'r trawsgrifiad drafft jest i tsiecio ei fod e'n gywir a'i fod e'n adlewyrchiad teg o'r hyn rŷch chi wedi'i rannu gyda ni heddiw, ac, yn amlwg, mi fydd yna lawer mwy o drafod wrth i ni fynd i'r afael â'r ddeddfwriaeth rŷn ni wedi cyfeirio ati a meysydd eraill hefyd dros y misoedd a'r blynyddoedd i ddod. Felly, diolch yn fawr iawn i chi, y pedwar ohonoch chi.
English: As you leave, we'll be carrying on with our committee items, and we'll move to item 5, namely the papers to note. If Members are happy to note the papers, there are a number of them, from 5.1 to 5.10, to note together. Are you happy to do that? Yes. Thank you very much.
Welsh: Wrth i chi adael, fe wnawn ni gario ymlaen gyda'n pwyllgor. Felly, gwnawn ni symud at eitem 5, sef papurau i'w nodi. Ac os ydy Aelodau'n hapus i nodi, mae yna nifer o bapurau, o 5.1 i 5.10, i'w nodi gyda'i gilydd. Ydych chi'n hapus i wneud hynny? Diolch yn fawr iawn.
English: We'll move on to a motion under Standing Order 17.42 (vi) and (ix) to resolve to exclude the public from the remainder of the meeting, if Members are content. Are you content with that? There we are. Thank you very much. We'll wait a second until the broadcast comes to an end, and we'll go into private session.
Welsh: Felly, mi symudwn ni at gynnig o dan Reol Sefydlog 17.42 (vi) a (ix) bod y pwyllgor yn penderfynu cwrdd yn breifat am weddill y cyfarfod, os yw Aelodau'n fodlon. Ydych chi'n fodlon gyda hynny? Dyna ni. Iawn. Diolch yn fawr. Mi arhoswn eiliad, felly, tan i'r darllediad ddod i ben ac i ni symud i sesiwn breifat.
English: Welcome, all, to this meeting of the Economy, Trade and Rural Affairs Committee. I haven't received any apologies this morning. Are there any interests to declare? Sam Kurtz.
Welsh: Croeso, bawb, i'r cyfarfod hwn o Bwyllgor yr Economi, Masnach a Materion Gwledig. Dwi ddim wedi derbyn unrhyw ymddiheuriadau y bore yma. Oes yna unrhyw fuddiannau yr hoffai Aelodau eu datgan o gwbl? Sam Kurtz.
English: Anything else? No.
Welsh: Unrhyw beth arall? Na.
English: We'll move on, therefore, to item 2 on our agenda, namely papers to note. I'm not going to go through each paper, but are there any issues that Members would like to raise from these papers at all? No.
Welsh: Symudwn ni ymlaen, felly, i eitem 2 ar ein hagenda, sef papurau i'w nodi. Dwi ddim yn mynd i fynd trwy bob papur, ond oes yna unrhyw faterion yr hoffai Aelodau eu codi o'r papurau yma o gwbl? Nac oes.
English: We'll move on, therefore, to item 3 on our agenda. This is the first of three panel sessions today to take evidence for our inquiry into cost-of-living pressures. A number of the Senedd committees have been prioritising scrutiny of cost-of-living issues, and so our inquiry focuses on matters that specifically fall within this committee's remit. We are looking first at workforce issues. May I, therefore, welcome the witnesses to this session, and may I ask them to introduce themselves for the record, and then we can move straight into questions? Perhaps I can start with Deborah Hann.
Welsh: Symudwn ni ymlaen, felly, i eitem 3 ar ein hagenda. Dyma'r cyntaf o dair sesiwn banel heddiw a fydd yn cymryd tystiolaeth ar gyfer ymchwiliad i bwysau costau byw. Mae nifer o bwyllgorau'r Senedd wedi bod yn blaenoriaethu gwaith craffu ar faterion costau byw, ac felly mae ein hymchwiliad yn canolbwyntio ar faterion sy'n ymwneud yn benodol â chylch gwaith y pwyllgor hwn. Rŷn ni'n edrych yn gyntaf ar faterion y gweithlu. Gaf fi, felly, groesawu'r tystion i'r sesiwn yma, a gaf i ofyn iddyn nhw gyflwyno eu hunain i'r record, ac wedyn gallwn ni symud yn syth i gwestiynau? Efallai y gallaf i ddechrau gyda Deborah Hann.
English: Thank you. And Steffan Evans.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr. A Steffan Evans.
English: Good morning. I'm Dr Steffan Evans. I'm the head of policy at the Bevan Foundation, leading on the work on poverty.
Welsh: Bore da. Dr Steffan Evans ydw i, pennaeth polisi gyda Sefydliad Bevan, yn arwain ar ein gwaith ni ar dlodi.
English: Steffan, could we start with you?
Welsh: Steffan, allwn ni ddechrau gyda ti?
English: That's it. Thank you.
Welsh: Dyna ni. Diolch.
English: Welcome back to this meeting of the Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee. We'll move on now to item 4 on our agenda. This is our second panel session today, looking at cost-of-living pressures and the impact on businesses. May I welcome the witnesses to this session? May I ask them to introduce themselves for the record, and then we can go straight to questions from Members? Perhaps I could start with Leighton Jenkins.
Welsh: Croeso yn ôl i gyfarfod Pwyllgor yr Economi, Masnach a Materion Gwledig. Fe symudwn ni ymlaen nawr i eitem 4 ar ein hagenda. Dyma ein hail sesiwn banel heddi, a byddwn ni'n edrych ar effaith pwysau costau byw ar fusnesau. Gaf i groesawu'r tystion i'r sesiwn yma? A gaf i ofyn iddyn nhw gyflwyno eu hunain i'r record, a wedyn gallwn ni symud yn syth i gwestiynau? Efallai gallaf i ddechrau gyda Leighton Jenkins.
English: Dr Llŷr ap Gareth, head of policy, Federation of Small Businesses
Welsh: Dr Llŷr ap Gareth, pennaeth polisi, Ffederasiwn y Busnesau Bach.
English: Welcome back to the meeting of the Economy, Trade and Rural Affairs Committee. We will now move on to item 5 on our agenda. This is our third panel session today, looking at the impact of cost-of-living pressures on rural communities. May I welcome the witnesses this afternoon? Before we go straight to questions, perhaps I might ask them to introduce themselves for the record, and may I start with Jackie Blackwell?
Welsh: Croeso nôl i gyfarfod Pwyllgor yr Economi, Masnach a Materion Gwledig. Fe symudwn ni ymlaen nawr at eitem 5 ar ein hagenda. Dyma'n trydedd sesiwn banel heddiw, a byddwn ni'n edrych ar effaith pwysau costau byw ar gymunedau gwledig. Gaf i estyn croeso cynnes i'n tystion y prynhawn yma? Cyn inni fynd yn syth i gwestiynau, efallai gaf i ofyn iddyn nhw gyflwyno eu hunain i'r record, a gaf i ddechrau, efallai, gyda Jackie Blackwell?
