English: Can I thank Hefin David for his question and, furthermore, thank him for the keen interest that he's taken over many years in the skills system that we operate? I met the founder of Admiral just last autumn. We discussed, amongst many other issues, the availability of people with the right skills for the company, and I'd certainly meet with key stakeholders within the financial and professional services more widely in Cardiff. Of course, the Member is aware that the RSP - the regional skills partnership - for the Cardiff capital region has designated the financial and professional services sector as one of its priority sectors for the region as it seeks to plan - better plan - skills provision for the economy of the region and ensure that there is a closer alignment between what businesses require and what skills providers and training providers actually produce. Wales's larger employers such as Admiral are also allocated a dedicated senior skills relationship manager, who works very closely with them on their skills needs, and they also support businesses in facilitating productive engagement with the provider network, including further education colleges and higher education institutions. But I think, given that the RSPs are still in their infancy, there is still work to be done in ensuring that the fusing of business interests and the provision of skilled individuals is enhanced.
Welsh: A gaf fi ddiolch i Hefin David am ei gwestiwn a diolch iddo hefyd am y diddordeb brwd y mae wedi'i ddangos ers blynyddoedd lawer yn y system sgiliau a weithredwn? Cyfarfûm â sylfaenydd Admiral yr Hydref diwethaf. Buom yn trafod, ymhlith llawer o faterion eraill, argaeledd pobl gyda'r sgiliau cywir ar gyfer y cwmni, ac yn sicr, buaswn yn cyfarfod â rhanddeiliaid allweddol o fewn y gwasanaethau ariannol a phroffesiynol ehangach yng Nghaerdydd. Wrth gwrs, mae'r Aelod yn ymwybodol fod y bartneriaeth sgiliau ranbarthol ar gyfer prifddinas-ranbarth Caerdydd wedi dynodi mai'r sector gwasanaethau ariannol a phroffesiynol yw un o'i sectorau blaenoriaethol ar gyfer y rhanbarth wrth iddi geisio cynllunio - cynllunio'n well - y ddarpariaeth sgiliau ar gyfer economi'r rhanbarth a sicrhau bod cysylltiad agosach rhwng yr hyn y mae busnesau ei angen a beth y mae darparwyr sgiliau a darparwyr hyfforddiant yn ei gynhyrchu mewn gwirionedd. Caiff uwch-reolwr cysylltiadau sgiliau dynodedig ei bennu ar gyfer cyflogwyr mwy o faint Cymru megis Admiral, ac mae'n gweithio'n agos iawn gyda hwy ar eu hanghenion sgiliau, ac maent hefyd yn cynorthwyo busnesau drwy hwyluso ymgysylltiad cynhyrchiol â'r rhwydwaith darparwyr, gan gynnwys colegau addysg bellach a sefydliadau addysg uwch. Ond o gofio bod y partneriaethau sgiliau rhanbarthol yn dal ar gam cynnar o'u datblygiad, mae gwaith i'w wneud o hyd ar sicrhau bod y gwaith o gyfuno buddiannau busnesau a'r ddarpariaeth o unigolion medrus yn gwella.
English: Minister, my region depends on Tata, Ford and Sony, which are all major employers and a vital part of the supply chain. My region cannot afford to lose any more jobs. In recent years, all these major employers have scaled back their operations, leading to large job losses. This is a particularly worrying time for workers at the Bridgend Ford plant, and, as with Tata and Sony, the key to securing the plant's future lies in securing new and diverse business. Minister, when we spoke last year about the future of the Bridgend plant, I urged you to work with Ford to explore the move to an all-electric drivetrain being produced at Bridgend. Can you outline what progress, if any, has been made on this, and whether Ford Europe are even receptive to such a move? If so, what assistance will the Welsh Government give the plant to enable retooling to take place?
Welsh: Weinidog, mae fy rhanbarth yn dibynnu ar Tata, Ford a Sony, sydd oll yn gyflogwyr mawr ac yn rhan hanfodol o'r gadwyn gyflenwi. Ni all fy rhanbarth fforddio colli rhagor o swyddi. Yn y blynyddoedd diwethaf, mae'r holl gyflogwyr mawr hyn wedi cwtogi eu gweithgarwch, gan arwain at golli llawer iawn o swyddi. Mae hon yn adeg arbennig o bryderus i weithwyr yn ffatri Ford Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr, ac fel gyda Tata a Sony, yr allwedd i sicrhau dyfodol y ffatri yw sicrhau busnes newydd ac amrywiol. Weinidog, pan fuom yn siarad y llynedd ynglŷn â dyfodol ffatri Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr, fe'ch anogais i weithio gyda Ford i ystyried newid i gynhyrchu system yriant llwyr drydanol ym Mhen-y-bont ar Ogwr. A allwch amlinellu pa gynnydd, os o gwbl, a wnaethpwyd ar hyn, a pha un a yw Ford Europe yn agored i newid o'r fath hyd yn oed? Os felly, pa gymorth fydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn ei roi i'r ffatri er mwyn sicrhau bod ailgyfarparu'n gallu digwydd?
English: Well, we stand ready to support Ford in any way that we can. The First Minister was at the Bridgend site just this morning, meeting with site managers and also with trade union representatives. I said yesterday and I said earlier today that what could be critically important to the Bridgend site is the development of hybridised engines, including a hybrid Dragon engine, and Welsh Government stands ready to assist in any way that it can in ensuring that the Bridgend facility is a chosen facility for the hybridisation of the Dragon engine. Within the forward work programme cycle for Ford, there are no obvious new engine products being developed, and we must await the outcome of talks with Volkswagen to determine whether Ford will utilise electric drivetrains from the German manufacturer. However, it is my intention to continue working closely with Ford and with social partners at Bridgend to ensure that the Dragon engine goes on being a success and that any additional demand for the Dragon engine results in increased capacity and, therefore, increased job opportunities at Bridgend, and, also, that whilst this work is ongoing, we seek every other opportunity to create employment, either through, or, potentially, both through hybridisation of the Dragon engine and through securing the Ineos investment.
Welsh: Wel, rydym yn barod i gefnogi Ford mewn unrhyw ffordd y gallwn. Roedd y Prif Weinidog ar safle Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr y bore yma, yn cyfarfod â rheolwyr y safle a hefyd gyda chynrychiolwyr undebau llafur. Dywedais ddoe a dywedais yn gynharach heddiw mai'r hyn a allai fod yn hanfodol bwysig i safle Pen-y-bont yw datblygiad injans hybrid, gan gynnwys injan Dragon hybrid, ac mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn barod i gynorthwyo mewn unrhyw ffordd y gall i sicrhau bod ffatri Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr yn ffatri ddewisol ar gyfer hybrideiddio'r injan Dragon. O fewn cylch blaenraglen waith Ford, nid oes unrhyw gynhyrchion injan newydd amlwg yn cael eu datblygu, a rhaid inni aros am ganlyniad trafodaethau â Volkswagen i benderfynu a fydd Ford yn defnyddio systemau gyriant trydan gan y gwneuthurwr Almaenig. Fodd bynnag, mae'n fwriad gennyf barhau i weithio'n agos gyda Ford a phartneriaid cymdeithasol ym Mhen-y-bont ar Ogwr, er mwyn sicrhau bod yr injan Dragon yn parhau i fod yn llwyddiant a bod unrhyw alw ychwanegol am yr injan Dragon yn arwain at gynyddu capasiti ac felly, at gynyddu cyfleoedd gwaith ym Mhen-y-bont ar Ogwr, ac er bod y gwaith yn mynd rhagddo, rydym yn chwilio am bob cyfle arall i greu cyflogaeth, naill ai drwy hybrideiddio'r injan Dragon, neu o bosibl drwy hynny yn ogystal â thrwy sicrhau buddsoddiad Ineos.
English: I'm pleased to be able to refer to my statement of 21 November 2018 on transport infrastructure in north Wales.
Welsh: Rwy'n falch o allu cyfeirio at fy natganiad ar 21 Tachwedd 2018 ar seilwaith trafnidiaeth yng ngogledd Cymru.
English: Thank you. Well, a few days later, on 27 November, I called for a Welsh Government statement on rail services in north Wales after a weekend of delayed and cancelled rail services in north Wales, where I've been reliably informed by rail insiders that a shortage of tooling spares and access to wheel lathes being in place and ensured they were put in place by the incoming operator had caused that, although there was now access to wheel lathes in Crewe, Bristol and Taunton. How do you, therefore, respond, given the subsequent apology and assurances from Transport for Wales to the e-mail I received at the end of December - five weeks, almost, later - that there'd been no trains on that particular day on the line from Shotton to Wrexham, that there'd be none tomorrow, the Monday would revert to a train every two hours, like it had been for several weeks? They were told there were no trains on Thursday either, that they're peddling storm Callum as part of the excuse, but that was six weeks ago. And how is it that other train operators are not affected by all the wheelset damage that's occurred in Wales? Given the original assurances we had from yourself and Transport for Wales, why was that still happening five weeks later?
Welsh: Diolch. Wel, ychydig ddyddiau yn ddiweddarach, ar 27 Tachwedd, gelwais am ddatganiad gan Lywodraeth Cymru ar wasanaethau rheilffyrdd yng ngogledd Cymru ar ôl penwythnos o oedi a chanslo gwasanaethau trenau yng ngogledd Cymru, lle y cefais wybodaeth ddibynadwy gan bobl ar y tu mewn yn y diwydiant rheilffyrdd mai prinder darnau o offer dros ben a mynediad at durnau olwynion a'r ffaith bod y gweithredydd newydd wedi sicrhau eu bod ar gael oedd yn gyfrifol am hynny, er bod mynediad at durnau olwynion ar gael bellach yn Crewe, Bryste a Taunton. Felly, sut rydych yn ymateb, o ystyried yr ymddiheuriad a geiriau o sicrwydd a ddilynodd wedyn gan Trafnidiaeth Cymru yn sgil yr e-bost a gefais ar ddiwedd mis Rhagfyr - bron bum wythnos yn ddiweddarach - na fu unrhyw drenau ar y diwrnod penodol hwnnw ar y rheilffordd o Shotton i Wrecsam, na fyddai dim yfory, y byddai'r dydd Llun yn dychwelyd i drên bob dwy awr, fel y bu am sawl wythnos cyn hynny? Dywedwyd wrthynt nad oedd unrhyw drenau ddydd Iau chwaith, eu bod yn defnyddio storm Callum fel rhan o'r esgus, ond roedd hynny chwe wythnos yn ôl. A sut nad effeithir ar weithredwyr trenau eraill gan yr holl ddifrod i echelau olwynion sydd wedi digwydd yng Nghymru? O ystyried y sicrwydd gwreiddiol a gawsom gennych chi a Trafnidiaeth Cymru, pam oedd hynny'n dal i ddigwydd bum wythnos yn ddiweddarach?
English: Well, largely because for far too many years we've seen in Wales a complete lack of investment by the UK Government in our rail infrastructure, particularly on our train lines, which remain a responsibility for Network Rail, and, therefore, the Department for Transport, and as I've said on many occasions now, this major problem can be largely attributed to the lack of wheel-slide protection. Why? Well, because the contract that Arriva Trains Wales was awarded was, simply, not fit for purpose. It did not incentivise them to invest in such technology, nor did it compel them when Welsh Government wished for such protection and technology to be installed on trains. I was pleased that the first service to return to full and normal operation was one of the north Wales services, and the Member points to an industry insider who gave him intelligence on the lack of wheel lathes in Wales. Well, it's true that when you have huge demand for wheel lathes, if you can't meet that demand with what you've got in your own country, you go elsewhere. Llywydd, I'm pleased to say that we did just that, and we were able to identify additional wheel lathes outside of Wales, and that's why we got so many trains back into full use so quickly.
Welsh: Wel, i raddau helaeth oherwydd ein bod, ers gormod o flynyddoedd, wedi gweld diffyg buddsoddi llwyr yng Nghymru gan Lywodraeth y DU yn ein seilwaith rheilffyrdd, yn enwedig ein rheilffyrdd, sy'n dal yn gyfrifoldeb i Network Rail, ac felly, i'r Adran Drafnidiaeth, ac fel y dywedais ar sawl achlysur bellach, gellir priodoli'r broblem fawr hon i raddau helaeth i ddiffyg amddiffyniadau i atal olwynion rhag llithro. Pam? Wel, yn syml am nad oedd y contract a ddyfarnwyd i Trenau Arriva Cymru yn addas i'r diben. Nid oedd yn eu cymell i fuddsoddi mewn technoleg o'r fath, ac nid oedd yn eu gorfodi pan oedd Llywodraeth Cymru am weld amddiffyniadau a thechnoleg o'r fath yn cael eu gosod ar drenau. Roeddwn yn falch mai'r gwasanaeth cyntaf i ddychwelyd i weithrediad llawn ac arferol oedd un o wasanaethau gogledd Cymru, ac mae'r Aelod yn cyfeirio at rywun ar y tu mewn yn y diwydiant a roddodd wybodaeth iddo am brinder turnau olwynion yng Nghymru. Wel, mae'n wir pan fo gennych alw enfawr am durnau olwynion, os na allwch ddiwallu'r galw hwnnw â'r hyn sydd gennych yn eich gwlad eich hun, rydych chi'n mynd i fannau eraill. Lywydd, rwy'n falch o ddweud ein bod wedi gwneud yn union hynny, ac roeddem yn gallu dod o hyd i durnau olwynion ychwanegol y tu allan i Gymru, a dyna pam y mae gennym gymaint o drenau yn ôl mewn defnydd llawn mor gyflym.
English: I'm sure we can all welcome the fact that there's going to be investment in stations in the context of the Welsh railways. I don't know if the Minister is aware, but Network Rail has been working closely with organisations trying to prevent suicides. There were 237 suicides on the British railways in 2016 - 4.5 per cent of all suicides within Britain. Now, research shows that people who are considering suicide in a train station follow a similar behavioural pattern, and one can use lights, benches facing away from the tracks, additional barriers, specific lines on the platform - it's possible to use these methods in order to try and tackle these tendencies towards suicides in train stations. So, as we look to invest in these improvements in our stations, can you give us an assurance that you will work closely with that method of preventing suicide in order to ensure that investment gets the best possible outcomes?
Welsh: Fe allwn ni i gyd, dwi'n siŵr, groesawu'r ffaith bod yna fuddsoddiad yn mynd i fod mewn gorsafoedd yng nghyd-destun y rheilffordd yng Nghymru. Dydw i ddim yn gwybod os ydy'r Gweinidog yn ymwybodol, ond mae Network Rail wedi bod yn gweithio'n agos gyda sefydliadau sydd yn gweithio i drio atal hunanladdiadau. Mi oedd yna 237 hunanladdiad ar y rheilffyrdd ym Mhrydain yn 2016 - 4.5 y cant o holl hunanladdiadau Prydain. Nawr, mae ymchwil yn dangos bod pobl sydd yn ystyried hunanladdiad mewn gorsaf drên yn dilyn patrwm ymddygiad tebyg, ac mae modd defnyddio goleuadau, meinciau sy'n wynebu oddi wrth y traciau, barriers ychwanegol, llinellau penodol ar y platfform ac yn y blaen. Mae modd defnyddio'r rhain er mwyn trio taclo'r tueddiadau yma tuag at hunanladdiad mewn gorsafoedd trên. Felly, wrth i ni edrych i fuddsoddi yn y gwelliannau yma yn ein gorsafoedd ni, a allwch chi roi sicrwydd y byddwch chi'n gweithio'n agos gyda'r dull yna o daclo hunanladdiadau er mwyn sicrhau bod y buddsoddiad yn cael y budd gorau posib?
English: Llywydd, I think this is an excellent question. I think it's a really important point. What I'm going to do is ask Transport for Wales, as it analyses and assesses how to spend the £200 million on all stations across the Wales and borders network, to put together at speed a suicide prevention plan, together with Network Rail, so that we can take on the sort of ideas that the Member has suggested and introduce them to as many stations as possible.
Welsh: Lywydd, credaf fod hwn yn gwestiwn ardderchog. Credaf ei fod yn bwynt pwysig iawn. Yr hyn rwy'n mynd i'w wneud yw gofyn i Trafnidiaeth Cymru, wrth iddynt ddadansoddi ac asesu sut i wario'r £200 miliwn ar yr holl orsafoedd ar draws rhwydwaith Cymru a'r gororau, lunio cynllun atal hunanladdiad ar fyrder gyda Network Rail, fel y gallwn fanteisio ar y math o syniadau a awgrymodd yr Aelod a'u cyflwyno i gymaint o orsafoedd ag y bo modd.
English: Leaving the EU will damage the economy. The failure of the UK Government to secure parliamentary agreement for their deal risks a 'no deal' outcome. The Prime Minister must commit to negotiate an EU exit as outlined in 'Securing Wales' Future', which remains the least damaging form of Brexit.
Welsh: Bydd gadael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd yn niweidio'r economi. Mae methiant Llywodraeth y Deyrnas Unedig i gael y Senedd i gymeradwyo ei chytundeb yn creu risg o ddiffyg cytundeb. Rhaid i Brif Weinidog y Deyrnas Unedig ymrwymo i negodi ymadawiad yr Undeb Ewropeaidd yn y ffordd sydd wedi'i amlinellu yn 'Diogelu Dyfodol Cymru', sef y ffurf leiaf niweidiol o Brexit o hyd.
English: Thank you very much. In 2016, exports from the counties of Flintshire and Wrexham were worth £5 billion and 87 per cent of those were exported to the European Union. Now, do you agree that the best way of maintaining that level of exports and all of the jobs and economic benefits that come in their wake is to remain within the European Union? If you do agree, what's your Government doing to ensure that that happens?
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr. Yn 2016, roedd allforion siroedd Fflint a Wrecsam yn gyfwerth â £5 biliwn ac roedd 87 y cant o'r rheini yn cael eu hallforio i'r Undeb Ewropeaidd. Nawr, ydych chi'n cytuno mai'r ffordd orau o gynnal y lefel yna o allforion a'r holl swyddi a'r manteision economaidd sy'n dod gyda hynny yw aros yn yr Undeb Ewropeaidd? Ac os ŷch chi, beth mae eich Llywodraeth chi'n gwneud i sicrhau bod hynny'n digwydd?
English: Exports, of course, are very important to the economy of Wales and the north east, and, on the whole, as the Member has acknowledged in his question, the percentage of exports from Wales is higher than other parts of the UK to Europe. The best way possible of ensuring the prosperity of exports in the future is as close a relationship as possible with the single market, the kind of thing that we haven't seen in a political statement from the Prime Minister in Westminster. I hope that there will be an opportunity over the next few days - the Prime Minister there has said that she's willing to discuss with other parties. It's important that those discussions include the possibility of a customs union and working closer with the single market.
Welsh: Mae allforion, wrth gwrs, yn bwysig iawn i economi'r gogledd-ddwyrain ac economi Cymru yn gyffredinol. Ar y cyfan, fel mae'r Aelod yn cydnabod yn ei gwestiwn, mae canran yr allforion yn uwch o Gymru na rhannau eraill o'r Deyrnas Unedig i Ewrop. Y ffordd orau bosib o sicrhau ffyniant allforion yn y dyfodol yw'r berthynas agosaf bosib gyda'r farchnad sengl, y math o beth dydyn ni ddim wedi gweld mewn datganiad gwleidyddol gan y Prif Weinidog yn San Steffan. Rwy'n gobeithio y bydd cyfle dros y diwrnodau nesaf. Mae'r Prif Weinidog yno wedi dweud ei bod hi'n barod i drafod gyda phleidiau eraill. Mae'n bwysig bod y trafodaethau hynny'n cynnwys y posibilrwydd o undeb dollau a pherthynas agosach gyda'r farchnad sengl.
English: On a positive note, we have Airbus in north-east Wales, which has made its own concerns known. If we don't have a transition deal, then perhaps those who voted against the Prime Minister's deal should consider the risks that they have added of that not happening. However, on a positive note, and despite potential outcomes in this context, the UK defence and aerospace industry recorded a £10 billion increase in deals over the last 12 months, with the total deals valued at £31 billion. Last month, Airbus welcomed the announcement of the aerospace sector deal - providing, they said, a firm commitment to the UK's investment in research and design, and an inclusive, productive aerospace sector is one that embraces the technology of tomorrow, including a commitment to £125 million of funding to be matched by Airbus and industry. Are you able to tell us, notwithstanding that this might stretch beyond your brief, what discussions you've had with your colleagues in Welsh Government over what their role might be or already is in developing the aerospace sector deal with the UK Government, Airbus and other aerospace sector companies in Wales?
Welsh: Ar nodyn cadarnhaol, mae gennym Airbus yng ngogledd-ddwyrain Cymru, sydd wedi gwneud eu pryderon eu hunain yn hysbys. Os na chawn gytundeb trosiannol, efallai y dylai'r rhai a bleidleisiodd yn erbyn cytundeb y Prif Weinidog ystyried y risgiau y maent wedi'u hychwanegu na fydd hynny'n digwydd. Fodd bynnag, ar nodyn cadarnhaol, ac er gwaethaf canlyniadau posibl yn y cyd-destun hwn, cofnododd diwydiant amddiffyn ac awyrofod y DU gynnydd o £10 biliwn mewn cytundebau dros y 12 mis diwethaf, gyda chyfanswm gwerth y cytundebau yn £31 biliwn. Y mis diwethaf, croesawodd Airbus y cyhoeddiad am gytundeb sector awyrofod - cyhyd â bod ymrwymiad cadarn i fuddsoddiad y DU mewn ymchwil a dylunio, meddent, a bod sector awyrofod cynhwysol a chynhyrchiol yn un sy'n cwmpasu technoleg y dyfodol, gan gynnwys ymrwymiad i roi £125 miliwn o arian ar gyfer denu arian cyfatebol gan Airbus a'r diwydiant. Er bod hyn efallai'n ymestyn y tu hwnt i'ch briff, a allwch ddweud wrthym pa drafodaethau a gawsoch gyda'ch cyd-Aelodau yn Llywodraeth Cymru ynglŷn â beth y gallai eu rôl fod neu beth yw eu rôl eisoes yn y broses o ddatblygu'r cytundeb sector awyrofod gyda Llywodraeth y DU, Airbus a chwmnïau eraill y sector awyrofod yng Nghymru?
English: There is work going on in relation to that. I should just say that the Minister for Economy and Transport has held round-tables with large employers in north-east Wales over the course of the last year, including Airbus. We all know, as the Member indicated in his question, that Airbus was one of the companies that were very clear about their position if we were to leave the European Union without the transition deal. I take issue with the premise of the Member's question. It isn't the case that the only alternative to the Prime Minister's deal is no deal, which we believe would be very, very bad news indeed for Wales. The opportunity now exists for the Prime Minister to reach out across the House of Commons and seek to negotiate a deal with other parties that reflects the principles that are set out in 'Securing Wales' Future' and that this Assembly have endorsed, most recently in early December.
Welsh: Mae gwaith yn mynd rhagddo mewn perthynas â hynny. Dylwn ddweud bod Gweinidog yr Economi a Thrafnidiaeth wedi cynnal cyfarfodydd bwrdd crwn gyda chyflogwyr mawr yng ngogledd-ddwyrain Cymru dros y flwyddyn ddiwethaf, gan gynnwys Airbus. Fel y nododd yr Aelod yn ei gwestiwn, mae pawb ohonom yn gwybod bod Airbus yn un o'r cwmnïau a oedd yn glir iawn ynglŷn â'u sefyllfa pe baem yn gadael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd heb y cytundeb trosiannol. Rwy'n anghytuno â chynsail cwestiwn yr Aelod. Nid yw'n wir mai'r unig ddewis arall yn lle cytundeb y Prif Weinidog yw dim bargen, a chredwn y byddai hynny'n newyddion drwg iawn i Gymru. Mae cyfle yn awr i'r Prif Weinidog estyn allan ar draws Tŷ'r Cyffredin a cheisio negodi cytundeb gyda phleidiau eraill sy'n adlewyrchu'r egwyddorion a nodwyd yn 'Diogelu Dyfodol Cymru' ac a gefnogwyd gan y Cynulliad hwn, yn fwyaf diweddar ar ddechrau mis Rhagfyr.
