English: Leader of the house, you may remember that, earlier this year, I raised concerns with regard to the fact that over £36 million of public money had been spent on developing a 106-acre strategic business park at Felindre to the north of Swansea, yet, despite being in public ownership for 20 years, the business park was still empty. The Parc Felindre strategic business park has been promoted by the Welsh Government and Swansea council as having, and I quote: 'the potential to become a centre for networking and knowledge exchange in South Wales for emerging industries and specialist sectors such as R&D, life sciences, advanced engineering and ICT'. The current Parc Felindre website currently states that Parc Felindre has planning permission for B1 and B2 uses, i.e., for emerging industries such as high-tech manufacturing and high-level services. Last week, as you will no doubt be aware, Swansea council leader Rob Stewart announced that the first potential tenant for the site, however, instead of a high-tech manufacturing firm, instead of emerging sectors such as research and development, life sciences, advanced engineering and ICT - the firm in fact was DPD, which wants to build a parcel delivery depot on part of the site. The firm, of course, already has a base in the Llansamlet area of the city. Now, whilst any jobs are to be welcomed, I'm sure that you'd agree that this announcement fails to meet the expectations that the Welsh Government and Swansea council set for themselves. Given that this site has been promoted as a potential jewel in the crown, will the Cabinet Secretary for the economy bring forward a statement on how he sees the site developing over the next few months and years and, following £36 million of public investment, will he state how he believes that the Welsh Government and Swansea council will deliver against the development brief of attracting top-end high-skilled jobs to the site?
Welsh: Arweinydd y tŷ, efallai eich bod chi'n cofio, yn gynharach eleni, codais bryderon ynghylch y ffaith bod dros £36 miliwn o arian cyhoeddus wedi ei wario ar ddatblygu parc busnes strategol 106 erw yn Felindre i'r gogledd o Abertawe, ac er hynny, er ei fod wedi bod yn eiddo cyhoeddus am 20 mlynedd, roedd y parc busnes yn dal i fod yn wag. Mae parc busnes strategol Parc Felindre wedi ei hyrwyddo gan Lywodraeth Cymru a chyngor Abertawe fel bod â, a dyfynnaf: 'y potensial i ddod yn ganolfan ar gyfer rhwydweithio a chyfnewid gwybodaeth yn y de ar gyfer diwydiannau datblygol a sectorau arbenigol megis ymchwil a datblygu, gwyddorau bywyd, peirianneg uwch a TGCh'. Dywed gwefan bresennol Parc Felindre fod gan Barc Felindre ganiatâd cynllunio ar gyfer defnydd B1 a B2, h.y., diwydiannau datblygol megis gweithgynhyrchu uwch-dechnoleg a gwasanaethau lefel uchel. Yr wythnos diwethaf, fel y byddwch yn ymwybodol mae'n siŵr, cyhoeddodd arweinydd Cyngor Abertawe, Rob Stewart, y tenant potensial cyntaf ar gyfer y safle, ond er hynny, yn hytrach na chwmni gweithgynhyrchu uwch-dechnoleg, yn hytrach na sectorau datblygol megis ymchwil a datblygu, gwyddorau bywyd, peirianneg uwch a TGCh - y cwmni mewn gwirionedd oedd DPD, sydd eisiau adeiladu depo danfon parseli ar ran o'r safle. Mae gan y cwmni eisoes, wrth gwrs, safle yn ardal Llansamlet o'r ddinas. Nawr, er y dylid croesawu unrhyw swyddi, rwyf yn siŵr y byddech yn cytuno bod y cyhoeddiad hwn yn methu â bodloni'r disgwyliadau a osodwyd gan Lywodraeth Cymru a chyngor Abertawe ar gyfer eu hunain. O gofio bod y safle hwn wedi ei hyrwyddo fel datblygiad o'r radd flaenaf, a wnaiff Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr economi gyflwyno datganiad ar sut y mae'n gweld y safle'n datblygu dros y misoedd a'r blynyddoedd nesaf, yn dilyn buddsoddiad cyhoeddus o £36 miliwn, ac a wnaiff ef ddatgan sut y mae'n credu y bydd Llywodraeth Cymru a chyngor Abertawe yn cyflawni yn erbyn y brîff datblygu o ddenu swyddi sgiliau uchel pen uchaf i'r safle?
