English: Many of the comments that the Member has made I've heard, like the issue of IJmuiden. I wasn't aware of the town-hall meeting, although I've heard something about what had happened, but I wasn't aware that it was in Port Talbot. I have heard it said to me that Port Talbot has been made to look worse than it is. I've got no evidence to back that up, but I've heard that said. I've heard, for example, that there are issues with regard to the port, and particularly fees charged by the company owning the port. Why on earth there is a separate business owning the port compared with the steelworks, only the Tories in the 1980s could explain to you, but that is, nevertheless, the situation there. There have been issues that have been said to me with regard to charges at the port. So, there are a number of issues that have been raised where there is no easy answer. In terms of the order book, well, of course, due diligence would have to be carried out by any buyer in any event. Nobody's going to buy assets or buy a business without looking at the books. It's fair to say there has been investment in the steel industry in Wales, particularly in Port Talbot. We saw the blast furnace No. 5 being rebuilt. We have put an offer on the table with regard to the power plant. We worked with the company three years ago over looking at whether a mine could be sunk in the curtilage of the steelworks. So, all these things have been explored. Research and development is another issue. We need to make sure that, as we look at the future of the steel industry over the next few years, that R&D capacity exist in Wales. I know that Swansea University have expressed an interest in that, and we're keen to work to make sure that that R&D capacity does exist in Wales. We've been successful for the past few years in attracting more R&D into Wales to supplement the manufacturing that we do and the same will be important for steel in the future. So, all this work is being done. I've heard many of the issues that she has raised being raised with me and with others. I hear that Port Talbot is now breaking even after three months ago losing £1 million a day, which is a substantial turnaround, but, of course, there will be a need, as the sale process continues, to make sure there is an understanding of what the true financial situation is with regard to the steel industry in Wales.
Welsh: Rwyf wedi clywed llawer o'r sylwadau y mae'r Aelod wedi'u gwneud, fel mater IJmuiden. Nid oeddwn yn ymwybodol o'r cyfarfod yn neuadd y dref, er fy mod wedi clywed rhywbeth am yr hyn a oedd wedi digwydd, ond nid oeddwn yn ymwybodol mai ym Mhort Talbot y digwyddodd hynny. Rwyf wedi clywed bod Port Talbot wedi cael ei wneud i edrych yn waeth nag y mae. Nid oes gennyf unrhyw dystiolaeth i gefnogi hynny, ond rwyf wedi clywed hynny'n cael ei ddweud. Rwyf wedi clywed, er enghraifft, fod yna broblemau gyda'r porthladd, ac yn benodol y ffïoedd a godir gan y cwmni sy'n berchen ar y porthladd. Pam yn y byd y mae busnes ar wahân yn berchen ar y porthladd o gymharu â'r gwaith dur, dim ond y Torïaid yn yr 1980au allai esbonio hynny i chi, ond dyna yw'r sefyllfa yn y fan honno serch hynny. Soniwyd wrthyf am broblemau gyda'r taliadau yn y porthladd. Felly, mae yna nifer o faterion wedi codi lle nad oes ateb hawdd. O ran y llyfr archebion, wel, wrth gwrs, byddai'n rhaid i unrhyw brynwr roi diwydrwydd dyladwy ar waith beth bynnag. Nid oes neb yn mynd i brynu asedau neu brynu busnes heb edrych ar y llyfrau. Mae'n deg dweud y cafwyd buddsoddiad yn y diwydiant dur yng Nghymru, yn enwedig ym Mhort Talbot. Gwelsom ffwrnais chwyth Rhif 5 yn cael ei hailadeiladu. Rydym wedi rhoi cynnig ar y bwrdd mewn perthynas â'r pwerdy. Buom yn gweithio gyda'r cwmni dair blynedd yn ôl yn edrych i weld a ellid tyllu cloddfa o fewn ffiniau'r gwaith dur. Felly, mae'r holl bethau hyn wedi cael eu harchwilio. Mae ymchwil a datblygu yn fater arall. Mae angen i ni wneud yn siŵr, wrth i ni edrych ar ddyfodol y diwydiant dur yn ystod y blynyddoedd nesaf, fod capasiti ymchwil a datblygu yn bodoli yng Nghymru. Gwn fod Prifysgol Abertawe wedi dangos diddordeb yn hynny, ac rydym yn awyddus i weithio i sicrhau bod capasiti ymchwil a datblygu yn bodoli yng Nghymru. Rydym wedi llwyddo dros y blynyddoedd diwethaf i ddenu mwy o ymchwil a datblygu i Gymru i ychwanegu at y gweithgynhyrchu a wnawn a bydd yr un peth yn bwysig ar gyfer dur yn y dyfodol. Felly, mae'r holl waith hwn yn cael ei wneud. Cafodd llawer o'r materion a grybwyllwyd ganddi eu dwyn i fy sylw i ac eraill. Rwy'n clywed bod Port Talbot yn awr yn llwyddo i adennill costau ar ôl bod yn colli £1 miliwn y dydd dri mis yn ôl, sy'n newid cyfeiriad sylweddol, ond wrth gwrs, bydd angen sicrhau, wrth i'r broses werthu fynd rhagddi, fod yna ddealltwriaeth o'r hyn yw'r sefyllfa ariannol go iawn mewn perthynas â'r diwydiant dur yng Nghymru.
