English: I will turn to this budget at the moment and how it impacts on my constituency. I look over the last five years in my patch, and there isn't a single town or community that hasn't had a new school built that is affecting its primary or secondary school children, or a college that has had investment. It's the biggest investment since the 1960s in the infrastructure of our schools and colleges, and that has come under this Welsh Government. As we look forward, we have commitments there of over £50 million in terms of the band B twenty-first century schools, going forward from 2021 to 2026. I know that there will be more schools. All of those Victorian schools, most of which have now gone, will be transformed into twenty-first century learning hubs for our young people. I look at the investment in active travel, Pencoed technology park - £2.5 million - the nearly £50 million that has been brought into this part of the Cardiff city region, into Bridgend and Ogmore. We are hoping for a very good announcement within the next few days that will allow an area that I know the Minister knows very well from her background, the Ewenny strategic site - we are hoping for good news on that as part of city deal funding and Welsh Government funding, to allow the brownfield remediation of that, so that we can get on with a big, large-scale development. This is despite the challenges that we have. If you look at Maesteg Town Hall, there's the £7 million investment in there. I know that we are losing the European money now, and the UK shared prosperity fund is nowhere to be seen at the moment, but we have European money and Welsh Government money coming in to transform that iconic building, which was built with the miners' pennies from this town, like many across the Valleys areas. It will now be transformed as an iconic venue, like what they did with Gwyn Hall in Neath, for the twenty-first century. We have extra-care housing built to the tune of £3 million in Tondu and in the top of the Llynfi valley, providing not just residential care for older people, but wraparound elderly care, including bungalows, where people can move from apartments into bungalows outside, and so on, as their condition changes. That's why I think that it's worth reflecting, as we look at this budget, going forward, on what we have been able to achieve in these five years, despite, I have to say, the long tail end of austerity. I think that it has been remarkable. It has been well prioritised. It's been on our children, it's been on our elderly, it's been on jobs and skills and getting people into jobs as well, with construction of homes and schools and highways development and so on. Let me just touch on some of the aspects of this and why I will be supporting this today. I thoroughly welcome the fact that we have managed to find over £630 million for our NHS and for local government, not just in response to the pandemic, but the wider strains they're under. At some point, even with the challenges, a future Government here in Wales is going to have to deal with that long tail of austerity, which has hollowed out parts of local government. They have done incredible work, and our NHS and carers, under great pressure. But, that additional £630 million is very welcome indeed. I hugely welcome the additional investment of £220 million within house building and the schools programme. I know that, in my area, I have walked into the homes that are being built with that money. I have touched the walls, seen the electrics being put in, seen the people sitting there, building these homes. That's what this money is all about. It's not just bricks and mortar. It's people in jobs at a time when we need it absolutely the most. These are Welsh Government priorities. But, I have to say as well, with respect to everybody else in the Cabinet, they are Welsh Labour priorities in action as well, and I applaud that entirely. I simply want to say that it is going to be difficult for the next Government coming in. It really will be, not least because the UK Government seems to be taking away much of the support that we have seen previously from EU funding. The UK shared prosperity fund and so on is still nowhere to be seen whatsoever. It looks like pork-barrel politics to me. But, we need to continue on this set of priorities. Ultimately, it is about looking after the communities that need it the most, and keeping people in jobs, now and into the long-term future as well, and giving people hope. That's what this budget does. It gives people hope, even in the most challenging of times. So, well done, Minister, and thank you for what you've done, not just now, but in the years gone by as well.
Welsh: Trof at y gyllideb hon yn y man a sut y mae'n effeithio ar fy etholaeth. Rwy'n edrych dros y pum mlynedd diwethaf yn fy ardal i, ac nid oes un dref na chymuned nad yw wedi cael ysgol newydd wedi'i hadeiladu sy'n effeithio ar ei phlant ysgol gynradd neu uwchradd, neu goleg sydd wedi cael buddsoddiad. Dyma'r buddsoddiad mwyaf ers y 1960au yn seilwaith ein hysgolion a'n colegau, ac mae hynny wedi dod o dan y Llywodraeth hon yng Nghymru. Wrth inni edrych ymlaen, mae gennym ymrwymiadau yno o dros £50 miliwn o ran ysgolion band B yr unfed ganrif ar hugain, wrth symud ymlaen o 2021 i 2026. Gwn y bydd mwy o ysgolion. Bydd pob un o'r ysgolion Fictoraidd hynny, y mae'r rhan fwyaf ohonyn nhw bellach wedi mynd, yn cael eu trawsnewid yn ganolfannau dysgu ar gyfer yr unfed ganrif ar hugain ar gyfer ein pobl ifanc. Edrychaf ar y buddsoddiad mewn teithio llesol, parc technoleg Pencoed - £2.5 miliwn - y bron i £50 miliwn sydd wedi'i sicrhau i'r rhan hon o ddinas-ranbarth Caerdydd, i Ben-y-bont ar Ogwr ac Ogwr. Rydym yn gobeithio cael cyhoeddiad da iawn o fewn yr ychydig ddyddiau nesaf a fydd yn caniatáu i ardal y gwn fod y Gweinidog yn ei hadnabod yn dda iawn o'i chefndir, safle strategol Ewenni - rydym yn gobeithio cael newyddion da am hynny fel rhan o gyllid bargen ddinesig a chyllid Llywodraeth Cymru, er mwyn caniatáu i hwnnw gael ei adfer yn dir llwyd, fel y gallwn fwrw ymlaen â datblygiad ar raddfa fawr. Mae hyn er gwaethaf yr heriau sydd gennym. Os edrychwch ar Neuadd y Dref Maesteg, mae buddsoddiad o £7 miliwn yno. Gwn ein bod yn colli'r arian Ewropeaidd nawr, ac nid yw cronfa ffyniant gyffredin y DU i'w gweld yn unman ar hyn o bryd, ond mae gennym arian Ewropeaidd ac arian Llywodraeth Cymru yn dod i mewn i drawsnewid yr adeilad eiconig hwnnw, a adeiladwyd gyda cheiniogau'r glowyr o'r dref hon, fel llawer ar draws ardaloedd y Cymoedd. Bydd nawr yn cael ei drawsnewid yn lleoliad eiconig, fel yr hyn a wnaethant gyda Neuadd Gwyn yng Nghastell-nedd, ar gyfer yr unfed ganrif ar hugain. Mae gennym dai gofal ychwanegol wedi'u hadeiladu ar gost o £3 miliwn yn Nhondu ac ym mhen uchaf cwm Llynfi, gan ddarparu nid yn unig gofal preswyl i bobl hŷn, ond gofal cofleidiol i'r henoed, gan gynnwys byngalos, lle gall pobl symud o fflatiau i fyngalos y tu allan, ac ati, wrth i'w cyflwr newid. Dyna pam yr wyf yn credu ei bod hi'n werth myfyrio, wrth i ni edrych ar y gyllideb hon, wrth symud ymlaen, ar yr hyn yr ydym ni wedi gallu ei gyflawni yn y pum mlynedd hyn, er gwaethaf, rhaid imi ddweud, ben ôl y cyni. Credaf y bu hi'n rhyfeddol. Mae wedi cael blaenoriaethau da. Mae wedi bod ynghylch ein plant, mae wedi bod ynghylch ein henoed, mae wedi bod ynghylch swyddi a sgiliau i gael pobl i mewn i swyddi hefyd, gydag adeiladu cartrefi ac ysgolion a datblygu priffyrdd ac ati. Gadewch imi sôn am rai o'r agweddau ar hyn a pham y byddaf yn cefnogi hon heddiw. Rwy'n croesawu'n fawr y ffaith ein bod wedi llwyddo i ddod o hyd i dros £630 miliwn ar gyfer ein GIG ac ar gyfer llywodraeth leol, nid yn unig mewn ymateb i'r pandemig, ond y mathau ehangach o straen sydd arnyn nhw. Ar ryw adeg, hyd yn oed gyda'r heriau, bydd yn rhaid i Lywodraeth yng Nghymru yn y dyfodol ymdrin â phen ôl hir cyni, sydd wedi gwastrodi rhannau o lywodraeth leol. Maen nhw wedi gwneud gwaith anhygoel, a'n GIG a'n gofalwyr, dan bwysau mawr. Ond, mae'r £630 miliwn ychwanegol hwnnw i'w groesawu'n fawr yn wir. Croesawaf yn fawr y buddsoddiad ychwanegol o £220 miliwn i adeiladu tai ac ar gyfer y rhaglen ysgolion. Gwn fy mod, yn fy ardal i, wedi cerdded i mewn i'r cartrefi sy'n cael eu hadeiladu gyda'r arian hwnnw. Rwyf wedi cyffwrdd â'r waliau, wedi gweld y trydan yn cael ei gysylltu, wedi gweld y bobl yn eistedd yno, yn adeiladu'r cartrefi hyn. Dyna yw diben yr arian hwn. Nid brics a morter yn unig sy'n bwysig ond pobl mewn swyddi ar adeg pan fydd ei angen arnom fwyaf. Blaenoriaethau Llywodraeth Cymru yw'r rhain. Ond, mae'n rhaid i mi ddweud hefyd, o ran pawb arall yn y Cabinet, eu bod yn flaenoriaethau Llafur Cymru ar waith hefyd, ac rwy'n cymeradwyo hynny'n llwyr. Rwyf eisiau dweud y bydd yn anodd i'r Llywodraeth nesaf a ddaw i mewn. Bydd hynny'n wir, yn bennaf oherwydd ei bod yn ymddangos bod Llywodraeth y DU yn dileu llawer o'r gefnogaeth yr ydym wedi'i gweld o'r blaen o gyllid yr UE. Nid yw cronfa ffyniant gyffredin y DU ac ati i'w gweld yn unman o gwbl o hyd. Mae'n edrych fel gwleidyddiaeth pot mêl i mi. Ond, mae angen i ni barhau gyda'r gyfres hon o flaenoriaethau. Yn y pen draw, mae'n ymwneud â gofalu am y cymunedau sydd eu hangen fwyaf, a chadw pobl mewn swyddi, nawr ac i'r dyfodol hirdymor hefyd, a rhoi gobaith i bobl. Dyna mae'r gyllideb hon yn ei wneud. Mae'n rhoi gobaith i bobl, hyd yn oed yn y cyfnod mwyaf heriol. Felly, da iawn, Gweinidog, a diolch am yr hyn yr ydych wedi'i wneud, nid yn unig nawr, ond yn y blynyddoedd a aeth heibio hefyd.
