English: Thank you, Cabinet Secretary. A sense and celebration of our history is important, not just to our sense of place today, but to build the foundations for our future as well. We have a particular rich industrial heritage across the Dee coast in north-east Wales, from the steelworks in the east, going across to where Courtalds was in Flint, and then to the Point of Ayr Colliery. Earlier this year, the Point of Ayr community heritage project received £40,500 from the Heritage Lottery Fund in a grant, and this will enable Point of Ayr to build a miners trail and a circular walk, which will meet with the coastal path and the site of the colliery, and will also link the town to Ffynnongroyw and Talacre. I was lucky enough to meet with the Chair, John Wiltshire, at an event down in the Senedd, and, last month, I was at the opening of the start of the trail. It was a privilege to be there as the Assembly Member representing the area, but also a particularly proud moment for me, as my 'taid' and uncle, and many members of my family, worked at the Point of Ayr. Now, the 23 July will be the grand opening of this trail, where one of the old pithead wheels will actually be reconditioned and opened. Cabinet Secretary, will you join me in congratulating the Point of Ayr heritage project, and John Wiltshire and his team, on all that they've done, and also urge others across Wales to learn from the group? And, of course, if you were free on 23 July, I'm sure the invitation is open for you to attend.
Welsh: Diolch, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet. Mae ymdeimlad o'n hanes a'i ddathlu yn bwysig, nid yn unig ar gyfer ein hymdeimlad o le heddiw, ond er mwyn adeiladu'r sylfaen ar gyfer ein dyfodol hefyd. Mae gennym dreftadaeth ddiwydiannol arbennig o gyfoethog ar hyd arfordir y Ddyfrdwy yng ngogledd-ddwyrain Cymru, o'r gwaith dur yn y dwyrain, draw i ble'r oedd Courtalds yn arfer bod yn y Fflint, ac ymlaen at Lofa'r Parlwr Du. Yn gynharach eleni, derbyniodd prosiect treftadaeth gymunedol y Parlwr Du grant o £40,500 gan Gronfa Dreftadaeth y Loteri, a bydd hyn yn galluogi'r Parlwr Du i adeiladu llwybr glowyr a thaith gerdded gylchol, a fydd yn cyfarfod â llwybr yr arfordir a safle'r lofa, ac yn cysylltu'r dref hefyd â Ffynnongroyw a Thalacre. Roeddwn yn ddigon ffodus i gyfarfod â'r Cadeirydd, John Wiltshire, mewn digwyddiad i lawr yn y Senedd, a'r mis diwethaf, roeddwn yn agoriad rhan gyntaf y llwybr. Roedd yn fraint bod yno fel yr Aelod Cynulliad sy'n cynrychioli'r ardal, ond roedd hefyd yn foment arbennig o falch i mi, gan fod fy nhaid a fy ewythr, a sawl aelod o fy nheulu, wedi bod yn gweithio yn y Parlwr Du. Nawr, cynhelir agoriad mawreddog y llwybr ar 23 Gorffennaf, lle bydd un o'r hen olwynion pen pwll a adnewyddwyd yn cael ei hagor. Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, a wnewch chi ymuno â mi i longyfarch prosiect treftadaeth y Parlwr Du, a John Wiltshire a'i dîm, am eu holl waith, ac annog eraill ledled Cymru i ddysgu gan y grŵp? Ac wrth gwrs, os ydych yn rhydd ar 23 Gorffennaf, rwy'n siŵr fod gwahoddiad i chi fynychu.
English: Well, I'd be more than delighted to attend that special occasion, and I, too, would like to congratulate those volunteers who are investing so much time and energy in promoting their local heritage. I was delighted to meet some of the volunteers with the Member recently, and, in addition, we know that this particular facility, this site, the Point of Ayr Colliery, is of enormous significance for the community of Talacre, but also for the communities of Mostyn and Ffynnongroyw, Llanasa, Pen-y-ffordd, Flint and Holywell - Indeed, a crucial tourist attraction for that part of north-east Wales. In addition nearby, we have the Brymbo ironworks, which has received, in recent times, £110,000 in grants from Welsh Government - again, a crucially important facility to attract tourists and to bring the community together. I was pleased also to recently attend the opening of the Rhydymwyn tunnels, again in my friend Hannah Blythyn's constituency, in Rhydymwyn, where it was quite apparent how much value the local community place on that facility. And I'd like to pay tribute in particular to David Hanson. He was honoured for the work that he's done over many years in ensuring that it can be open to the public, and indeed to Mark Isherwood, as an Assembly Member, who remains steadfast in support, as does Hannah Blythyn, for the community group that made this happen.
Welsh: Wel, byddwn yn fwy na pharod i fynychu'r achlysur arbennig hwnnw, a hoffwn innau longyfarch y gwirfoddolwyr sy'n buddsoddi cymaint o amser ac egni'n hyrwyddo eu treftadaeth leol. Roeddwn yn falch o allu cyfarfod â rhai o'r gwirfoddolwyr gyda'r Aelod yn ddiweddar, ac yn ogystal, gwyddom fod y cyfleuster arbennig hwn, y safle hwn, Glofa'r Parlwr Du, yn hynod o bwysig i gymuned Talacre, ond hefyd i gymunedau Mostyn a Ffynnongroyw, Llanasa, Pen-y-ffordd, y Fflint a Threffynnon - yn wir, mae'n atyniad pwysig iawn i dwristiaid yn y rhan honno o ogledd-ddwyrain Cymru. Gerllaw hefyd, mae gennym waith haearn Brymbo, sydd wedi derbyn £110,000 mewn grantiau gan Lywodraeth Cymru yn ddiweddar - unwaith eto, cyfleuster hollbwysig i ddenu twristiaid ac i ddod â'r gymuned ynghyd. Roeddwn yn falch hefyd o fynychu agoriad twneli Rhyd-y-mwyn yn ddiweddar, unwaith eto yn etholaeth fy ffrind Hannah Blythyn, yn Rhyd-y-mwyn, lle'r oedd yn eithaf amlwg pa mor werthfawr yw'r cyfleuster hwnnw i'r gymuned leol. A hoffwn dalu teyrnged i David Hanson yn arbennig. Fe'i hanrhydeddwyd am ei waith dros sawl blwyddyn i sicrhau y gall fod yn agored i'r cyhoedd, ac yn wir i Mark Isherwood, fel Aelod Cynulliad, sy'n parhau, fel Hannah Blythyn, yn frwd ei gefnogaeth i'r grŵp cymunedol a wnaeth i hyn ddigwydd.
English: Coincidental, but thank you for your comments. In the context of the Pontcysyllte aqueduct world heritage site, it's now, I think, eight years since that was awarded, and I think eight years since the then Welsh Government first established a regional partnership body to drive forward the regional industrial heritage offer, incorporating potentially Llangollen railway, the canals, the Ceiriog valley, Brymbo, as you've referred to, but stretching across to Flintshire's heritage trails, Rhydymwyn valley, Greenfield Valley Trust, and so very much more. But we still haven't got that joined-up approach now. We haven't got the through-ticketing, which bodies such as Llangollen railway are proposing. And a concern raised with me has been that the bodies have had insufficient representation from tourism and heritage bodies in the region themselves. It's good that Glandŵr Cymru are on board, but where are all the others? Do you agree with me that we therefore need to incorporate better those wider voices, so that, together, they can bring forward the proposals that can at last achieve, I think, the objectives that we both share?
Welsh: Cyd-ddigwyddiad, ond diolch am eich sylwadau. Yng nghyd-destun safle treftadaeth y byd traphont Pontcysyllte, credaf fod wyth mlynedd wedi bod bellach ers ennill y statws hwnnw, a chredaf fod wyth mlynedd wedi bod ers i Lywodraeth Cymru ar y pryd sefydlu corff partneriaeth rhanbarthol cyntaf i lywio'r cynnig treftadaeth ddiwydiannol rhanbarthol, gan ymgorffori, o bosibl, rheilffordd Llangollen, y camlesi, dyffryn Ceiriog, a Brymbo, fel y crybwyllwyd gennych, ond gan ymestyn draw i lwybrau treftadaeth Sir y Fflint, dyffryn Rhyd-y-mwyn, Ymddiriedolaeth Dyffryn Maes Glas, a llawer iawn mwy. Ond rydym eto i gael yr ymagwedd gydgysylltiedig honno. Nid oes gennym y tocynnau trwodd y mae cyrff megis rheilffordd Llangollen yn eu cynnig. Ac un pryder a fynegwyd wrthyf oedd nad yw'r cyrff wedi cael eu cynrychioli'n ddigonol gan gyrff twristiaeth a threftadaeth y rhanbarth. Mae'n dda fod Glandŵr Cymru yn cefnogi, ond ble mae'r lleill? A ydych yn cytuno â mi, felly, fod angen i ni ymgorffori'r lleisiau ehangach hynny'n well, fel y gallant, gyda'i gilydd, gyflwyno'r argymhellion a all gyflawni, o'r diwedd, yr amcanion y credaf ein bod ein dau yn eu rhannu?
English: I'd agree entirely with the Member. I've been keen to encourage movement speedily, and with dynamism, in the direction that he outlines. I'd like to see more through-ticketing for sure. I'd like to see greater co-ordination between and amongst the various organisations that are involved in the culture and heritage sector in industrial north-east Wales. And, for that reason, I think it would perhaps be very sensible to convene a culture and heritage summit during the summer, to bring together those organisations, including Glandŵr Cymru, who the Member rightly identifies as a lead partner in the Pontcysyllte world heritage site activity, and I think, in drawing together those various interests, we may be able to make progress.
Welsh: Cytunaf yn llwyr â'r Aelod. Rwyf wedi bod yn awyddus i annog symud yn gyflym, ac yn ddynamig, i'r cyfeiriad a amlinellwyd ganddo. Yn sicr, hoffwn weld mwy o docynnau trwodd. Hoffwn weld mwy o gydweithio rhwng ac ymhlith y gwahanol sefydliadau sy'n ymwneud â'r sector diwylliant a threftadaeth yng ngogledd-ddwyrain diwydiannol Cymru. Ac oherwydd hynny, credaf efallai y byddai'n syniad da cynnull uwchgynhadledd diwylliant a threftadaeth yn ystod yr haf, i ddod â'r sefydliadau hynny ynghyd, gan gynnwys Glandŵr Cymru yr oedd yr Aelod yn gywir i nodi ei fod yn brif bartner yng ngweithgaredd safle treftadaeth y byd Pontcysyllte, a thrwy ddod â'r gwahanol fuddiannau hynny ynghyd, credaf ei bod yn bosibl y gallwn wneud cynnydd.
English: Questions, now, from the party spokespeople to the Cabinet Secretary. The Plaid Cymru spokesperson, Adam Price.
Welsh: Cwestiynau nawr gan lefarwyr y pleidiau i'r Ysgrifennydd Cabinet. Llefarydd Plaid Cymru, Adam Price.
English: Diolch, Llywydd. Cabinet Secretary, this week in a written reply to me, you accused the company behind the Circuit of Wales of, many material gaps and inaccuracies in the information' they have provided to you. Now, that's a fairly extraordinary claim for anyone to make, let alone a Government, about a counterparty with which you are just weeks away from making a decision about a £425 million-project, which you've been discussing for over six years. Isn't it the case, Cabinet Secretary, that it's your Government that's been inaccurate? You promised, at that dispatch box in February, a four to six-week process, which is the standard timeline for confirmatory due diligence. What you've done is conduct a forensic audit with the express purpose, it seems to me, of finding some excuse - any excuse at all - to justify saying 'no'. And isn't it also the case, Cabinet Secretary, that having first delayed the decision until after the May local elections, you're now delaying it beyond 8 June? Not because of any gaps in information, but because you don't want to be open and honest with the people of Blaenau Gwent, who you've strung along with false hope and empty promises for six years.
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd. Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, yr wythnos hon mewn ateb ysgrifenedig i mi, fe gyhuddoch chi'r cwmni sy'n gyfrifol am Gylchffordd Cymru o lawer o fylchau sylweddol a gwallau yn y wybodaeth y maent wedi ei darparu i chi. Nawr, mae hynny'n gryn dipyn o honiad i unrhyw un ei wneud, heb sôn am Lywodraeth, am barti i gontract y byddwch, mewn ychydig wythnosau, yn gwneud penderfyniad gyda hwy ynglŷn â phrosiect £425 miliwn y buoch yn ei drafod ers dros chwe blynedd. Onid y gwirionedd, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, yw mai eich Llywodraeth chi sydd wedi bod yn wallus? Fe addawoch, wrth sefyll yn y fan honno ym mis Chwefror, broses rhwng pedair a chwe wythnos o hyd, sef yr amserlen safonol ar gyfer diwydrwydd dyladwy cadarnhaol. Yr hyn rydych wedi'i wneud yw cynnal archwiliad fforensig gyda'r bwriad penodol, ymddengys i mi, o ganfod rhyw esgus - unrhyw esgus o gwbl - i gyfiawnhau dweud 'na'. Ac onid yw hefyd yn wir, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, ar ôl gohirio'r penderfyniad yn gyntaf tan ar ôl etholiadau lleol mis Mai, eich bod bellach yn ei ohirio tan ar ôl 8 Mehefin? Nid oherwydd unrhyw fylchau yn y wybodaeth, ond am nad ydych eisiau bod yn agored ac yn onest gyda phobl Blaenau Gwent, sydd wedi cael eu camarwain gennych gyda gobeithion ffug ac addewidion gwag ers chwe blynedd.
English: Not at all. The Member is completely and utterly wrong. He asked a series of questions; I gave a series of honest answers. Never before have I seen an opposition spokesperson criticise a Minister for giving honest answers. My duty is to ensure that projects that can create jobs, that are sustainable, get the support of this Government. My job is to make sure we invest our resources where there are employment opportunities. I am excited by this project, but I will not short-circuit the due diligence process, unlike the Member, who would have signed it off last year with, incidentally, another £18 million of public funding guarantees.
Welsh: Dim o gwbl. Mae'r Aelod yn gyfan gwbl anghywir. Gofynnodd gyfres o gwestiynau; rhoddais gyfres o atebion gonest. Nid wyf erioed wedi gweld llefarydd yr wrthblaid yn beirniadu Gweinidog am roi atebion gonest. Fy nyletswydd yw sicrhau bod prosiectau a all greu swyddi, sy'n gynaliadwy, yn cael cymorth gan y Llywodraeth hon. Fy ngwaith yw gwneud yn siŵr ein bod yn buddsoddi ein hadnoddau lle ceir cyfleoedd cyflogaeth. Mae'r prosiect hwn yn fy nghyffroi, ond ni fyddaf yn osgoi proses diwydrwydd dyladwy, yn wahanol i'r Aelod, a fyddai wedi'i gymeradwyo y llynedd gyda £18 miliwn arall, gyda llaw, o warantau arian cyhoeddus.
English: You accuse the company of misleading you, and you say you give honest answers. Well, isn't it the case that if anyone has been guilty of misleading people, it's your Government? In the auditor general's report, he refers to a press release that your Government issued on the FTR acquisition, which he says, in terms, was both incorrect and misleading. That's the auditor general's verdict, not mine, on this Government. Now, in your response to the auditor general's report, you said that you were shocked and disappointed at its release during the pre-election period. Yet, isn't it true, Cabinet Secretary, that the deputy permanent secretary was informed of the intention to publish on 10 March, almost six weeks before? As the auditor general has said in a letter to me, and I quote: Although I can understand why the Cabinet Secretary has expressed disappointment regarding the timing of my report, I find it hard to understand how officers could express shock in this respect.' You're blaming the company, blaming the auditor general, blaming everyone else, but isn't it true, Cabinet Secretary, that it's you and your Government that are to blame for the fact that, here we are, six years on, still waiting for a decision?
Welsh: Rydych yn cyhuddo'r cwmni o'ch camarwain, ac rydych yn dweud eich bod yn rhoi atebion gonest. Wel, onid y gwirionedd yw, os oes unrhyw un wedi bod yn camarwain pobl, mai eich Llywodraeth chi sy'n euog o hynny? Yn adroddiad yr archwilydd cyffredinol, cyfeiria at ddatganiad i'r wasg a gyhoeddwyd gan eich Llywodraeth mewn perthynas â chaffael FTR, gan ddweud yn blaen ei fod yn anghywir ac yn gamarweiniol. Barn yr archwilydd cyffredinol yw honno, nid fy un i, am y Llywodraeth hon. Nawr, yn eich ymateb i adroddiad yr archwilydd cyffredinol, dywedasoch eich bod yn synnu ac yn siomedig ei fod wedi ei ryddhau yn ystod y cyfnod cyn yr etholiad. Ond onid yw'n wir, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, fod y dirprwy ysgrifennydd parhaol wedi cael gwybod ynglŷn â'r bwriad i gyhoeddi ar 10 Mawrth, bron i chwe wythnos ynghynt? Fel y dywedodd yr archwilydd cyffredinol wrthyf mewn llythyr, ac rwy'n dyfynnu: Er y gallaf ddeall pam fod Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet wedi mynegi siom ynglŷn ag amseriad fy adroddiad, rwy'n ei chael hi'n anodd deall sut y gall swyddogion fynegi syndod yn hyn o beth. Rydych yn beio'r cwmni, yn beio'r archwilydd cyffredinol, yn beio pawb arall, ond onid yw'n wir, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, mai chi a'ch Llywodraeth sydd ar fai am y ffaith ein bod yma, chwe blynedd yn ddiweddarach, yn dal i aros am benderfyniad?
English: I'm astonished, again, that the Member used the term 'misleading'. I am astonished -
Welsh: Rwy'n synnu, unwaith eto, fod yr Aelod wedi defnyddio'r term 'camarweiniol'. Rwy'n syfrdanu -
English: The auditor general used the term 'misleading'.
Welsh: Yr archwilydd cyffredinol a ddefnyddiodd y term 'camarweiniol'.
English: In the context that he did. The Member should retract that, because what I stated in those written answers was true and factual - true and factual. And I say it again: my job is to ensure that projects that can gain Government support, that are proven to be sustainable and to create the jobs that they purport to be creating for the communities that they must serve - . My interest is with the people of Ebbw Vale; yours seems to be with political self-interest. There is a big difference - a big difference - between ambition and recklessness. I will not short-circuit the due diligence process. Where do you think the auditor general would have you, if you were to propose short-circuiting the due diligence process, if you were in my position? Do you think the auditor general would support you in that?
Welsh: Yn y cyd-destun a wnaeth. Dylai'r Aelod dynnu hynny yn ôl, gan fod yr hyn a ddywedais yn yr atebion ysgrifenedig hynny yn wir ac yn ffeithiol - yn wir ac yn ffeithiol. A dywedaf eto: fy ngwaith yw sicrhau bod prosiectau a all ennyn cefnogaeth y Llywodraeth, sydd wedi profi eu bod yn gynaliadwy ac yn creu'r swyddi y maent yn honni eu bod yn eu creu ar gyfer y cymunedau y mae'n rhaid iddynt eu gwasanaethu - . Pobl Glynebwy sydd o ddiddordeb i mi; ymddengys mai hunan-les gwleidyddol sydd o ddiddordeb i chi. Mae gwahaniaeth mawr - gwahaniaeth mawr - rhwng uchelgais a byrbwylltra. Ni fyddaf yn osgoi'r broses ddiwydrwydd dyladwy. Beth y credwch y byddai'r archwilydd cyffredinol yn ei ddweud amdanoch pe baech yn argymell osgoi'r broses ddiwydrwydd dyladwy, pe baech yn fy lle i? A ydych yn credu y byddai'r archwilydd cyffredinol yn eich cefnogi yn hynny o beth?
English: Here we have a Cabinet Secretary who has delayed a decision not once but twice, beyond an election, for obvious reasons, and he accuses me of acting in self-interest. There's a simple answer to the charge of prevarication that we make, and that's to get on and make a decision. The Cabinet Secretary has said that he has now got all the information from the company that he requires and that he expects to receive the final due diligence reports very shortly. So, can he confirm there is now no impediment, no barrier, no excuse left that will prevent him from making a decision and an announcement before 8 June? Can I remind the Cabinet Secretary that Cabinet Office guidance on Westminster general elections states clearly that devolved functions should continue as normal? His predecessor, Edwina Hart, made a decision on the Circuit of Wales in the middle of the Assembly pre-election period. If she was honest enough to do so, then why should you and the First Minister be cowering behind this excuse of pre-election purdah instead of being honest with the people of Blaenau Gwent who put their trust in you?
Welsh: Yma, mae gennym Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet sydd wedi gohirio penderfyniad, nid unwaith ond ddwywaith, tan ar ôl etholiad, am resymau amlwg, ac mae'n fy nghyhuddo i o weithredu er hunan-les. Mae ateb syml i'r cyhuddiad a wneir gennym ei fod yn osgoi gwneud penderfyniad, sef gwneud penderfyniad. Mae Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet wedi dweud ei fod bellach wedi cael yr holl wybodaeth y mae ei hangen gan y cwmni a'i fod yn disgwyl cael yr adroddiadau diwydrwydd dyladwy terfynol cyn bo hir. Felly, a all gadarnhau nad oes unrhyw rwystr bellach, unrhyw atalfa, unrhyw esgus ar ôl a fydd yn ei atal rhag gwneud penderfyniad a chyhoeddiad cyn 8 Mehefin? A gaf fi atgoffa Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet fod canllawiau Swyddfa'r Cabinet ar etholiadau cyffredinol San Steffan yn datgan yn glir y dylai swyddogaethau datganoledig barhau yn ôl yr arfer? Gwnaeth ei ragflaenydd, Edwina Hart, benderfyniad ynglŷn â Chylchffordd Cymru yng nghanol y cyfnod cyn etholiad y Cynulliad. Os oedd hi'n ddigon gonest i wneud hynny, pam y dylech chi a'r Prif Weinidog guddio y tu ôl i'r esgus hwn ynglŷn â'r purdah cyn yr etholiad, yn hytrach na bod yn onest gyda phobl Blaenau Gwent sy'n ymddiried ynoch?
English: I should just suggest you keep digging yourself in, because what you're essentially saying is that we should, again, ignore the due diligence process. The reason that there have been delays is because the information has not been fully populated in the data bank. That is the reason why. That is the reason why. Do not blame the Government for failing to provide the information that the developer is required to provide. We remain excited by this project -
Welsh: Dylwn awgrymu eich bod yn parhau i balu twll i chi'ch hun, gan mai'r hyn a ddywedwch yn y bôn yw y dylem, unwaith eto, anwybyddu'r broses ddiwydrwydd dyladwy. Y rheswm dros yr oedi yw am nad yw'r wybodaeth wedi cael ei chynnwys yn llawn yn y banc data. Dyna'r rheswm pam. Dyna'r rheswm pam. Peidiwch â beio'r Llywodraeth am fethu darparu'r wybodaeth y mae'n ofynnol i'r datblygwr ei darparu. Rydym yn parhau i fod wedi'n cyffroi ynglŷn â'r prosiect hwn -
English: Ah; well, there we are. There we are, and there's the point. You're here to scrutinise me, but you don't wish to listen. You just wish to give lectures about how to dodge due diligence. That is not your role. [Interruption.] That is not your role. [Interruption.] Your role is to ensure that you scrutinise - [Interruption.] - the information that is presented to you, but you don't wish to do that. [Interruption.] You don't wish to do that. What you wish to do -
Welsh: A; wel, dyna ni. Dyna ni, a dyna'r pwynt. Rydych yma i graffu arnaf, ond nid ydych am wrando. Rydych ond eisiau rhoi pregeth ar sut i osgoi diwydrwydd dyladwy. Nid dyna eich rôl. [Torri ar draws.] Nid dyna eich rôl. [Torri ar draws.] Eich rôl yw sicrhau eich bod yn craffu - [Torri ar draws.] - ar y wybodaeth a gyflwynir i chi, ond nid ydych yn dymuno gwneud hynny. [Torri ar draws.] Nid ydych yn dymuno gwneud hynny. Yr hyn rydych yn dymuno'i wneud -
English: Can we hear the Cabinet Secretary's reply, please?
Welsh: A gawn ni glywed ateb Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, os gwelwch yn dda?
