English: This debate this afternoon provides an opportunity to highlight the transformation that has taken place in the United Kingdom economy, thanks to the policies of the Conservative Government. Labour wasted 13 years in power and left behind a dismal economic legacy. I think that our Adam Price must remember very well what he just shouted very clearly and loudly, telling all this Chamber about the doom and gloom that is happening now. Britain had suffered the deepest recession since the war by that Government and Labour in London, not by our party. The country was borrowing £150 billion a year at that time. Unemployment had increased by nearly 0.5 million. Labour's legacy was one of debt, decline and despair. That was their legacy when we came into power in London. Thanks to decisions the Conservative Government has taken, the fundamentals of the economy are strong. Last year, our economy grew faster than all other advanced economies, except Germany, in the world. The Office for Budget Responsibility upgraded its forecast of UK growth for 2017 to 2 per cent from 1.24 per cent since last November. That's a great achievement. Employment is at a record high. It is up by 2.8 million since Labour were in power. That's 2.8 million people with the security of bringing home a regular pay packet to look after their children and family. That is economic growth. We have cut the deficit by almost two thirds. That is not me; they are the world economic forecast figures that we see. Don't shake your head; this is true. In cash terms, the deficit is down from £150 billion when we came to office to just over £51 billion today. A survey in April showed that activity in the UK manufacturing sector grew at its fastest pace for the last three years. The survey also found that new orders are being received at the fastest rate since January 2014. The service sector accounts for about three fourths of the UK economy. Activity in this sector grew at a faster rate than expected in March this year. Exports are increasing and the trade gap is narrowing. That is where the economy is growing with the policy of London.
Welsh: Mae'r ddadl hon y prynhawn yma yn gyfle i dynnu sylw at y trawsnewid sydd wedi digwydd yn economi'r Deyrnas Unedig, diolch i bolisïau'r Llywodraeth Geidwadol. Gwastraffodd Llafur 13 mlynedd mewn grym a gadael etifeddiaeth economaidd ddigalon ar ei hôl. Credaf fod yn rhaid bod Adam Price yn cofio'n iawn yr hyn y mae newydd ei weiddi'n glir ac yn uchel iawn, gan ddweud wrth y Siambr hon am y gofid a'r gwae sy'n digwydd yn awr. Roedd Prydain wedi dioddef y dirwasgiad gwaethaf ers y rhyfel dan law'r Llywodraeth honno a Llafur yn Llundain, nid dan law ein plaid ni. Roedd y wlad yn benthyca £150 biliwn y flwyddyn ar y pryd. Roedd diweithdra wedi cynyddu bron i 0.5 miliwn. Etifeddiaeth o ddyled, dirywiad ac anobaith oedd un Llafur. Dyna oedd eu hetifeddiaeth pan ddaethom i rym yn Llundain. Diolch i benderfyniadau a wnaed gan y Llywodraeth Geidwadol, mae hanfodion yr economi'n gryf. Y llynedd, tyfodd ein heconomi'n gyflymach na holl economïau gwledydd datblygedig eraill y byd, ar wahân i'r Almaen. Uwchraddiodd y Swyddfa Cyfrifoldeb Cyllidebol ei rhagolwg o dwf y DU ar gyfer 2017 i 2 y cant o 1.24 y cant ers mis Tachwedd diwethaf. Mae honno'n dipyn o gamp. Mae cyflogaeth yn uwch nag erioed. Mae 2.8 miliwn yn uwch ers i Lafur fod mewn grym. Dyna 2.8 miliwn o bobl sydd â sicrwydd o ddod â phecyn cyflog rheolaidd adref i edrych ar ôl eu plant a'u teuluoedd. Dyna dwf economaidd. Rydym wedi torri'r diffyg ariannol bron i ddwy ran o dair. Nid fi sy'n dweud hynny; dyna ffigurau rhagolygon economaidd y byd a welwn. Peidiwch ag ysgwyd eich pen; mae hyn yn wir. Mewn arian parod, mae'r diffyg i lawr o £150 biliwn pan ddaethom i rym i ychydig dros £51 biliwn heddiw. Dangosodd arolwg ym mis Ebrill fod gweithgarwch y sector gweithgynhyrchu yn y DU wedi tyfu ar ei gyflymaf dros y tair blynedd diwethaf. Canfu'r arolwg hefyd fod archebion newydd yn cael eu derbyn ar y gyfradd gyflymaf ers mis Ionawr 2014. Y sector gwasanaeth yw oddeutu tair rhan o bedair o economi'r DU. Tyfodd gweithgaredd yn y sector hwn yn gynt na'r disgwyl ym mis Mawrth eleni. Mae allforion yn cynyddu ac mae'r bwlch masnach yn culhau. Dyna ble mae'r economi'n tyfu gyda pholisi Llundain.
