English: Thank you for that answer, Cabinet Secretary. It's perhaps timely to welcome the appointment of Linda Dickens as the chair of the Welsh Government's fair work commission, because when it comes to the issue of the minimum wage and workers' rights generally, we can see that the ball game is beginning to change at UK Government level, where the hard line Brexiteers are now beginning to talk about the opportunities of deregulation - that is, removing workers' rights, standards and terms and conditions. So, the steps being taken by Welsh Government at this stage, I think, are very welcome. My colleague Jo Stevens, the MP for Cardiff Central, raised last year the fact that there had been no prosecutions in Wales in 2016 for minimum wage breaches. I've just seen the announcement in respect of the 10 prosecutions that have taken place subsequently. Cabinet Secretary, it seems very clear that there is no will within the UK Government and no resource or commitment to dealing with the impact of the gig economy and the lack of worker rights. All of us as Assembly Members will know of companies and issues that arise where there are breaches of health and safety, terms and conditions, and where the minimum wage is clearly not being paid or is being abused through complex payment systems. Do you not agree with me that, firstly, the fair work commission in Wales, establishing that as the ethos of employment within Wales is something that is very much desired? Secondly, isn't it about time that the issue of the minimum wage or certainly its enforcement should be devolved to a Government that's prepared to stand up for it?
Welsh: Diolch am eich ateb, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet. Efallai ei bod yn adeg addas i groesawu penodiad Linda Dickens yn gadeirydd comisiwn gwaith teg Llywodraeth Cymru, oherwydd mewn perthynas â mater yr isafswm cyflog a hawliau gweithwyr yn gyffredinol, gallwn weld bod y gêm yn dechrau newid ar lefel Llywodraeth y DU, lle mae Brexiteers digyfaddawd yn dechrau sôn bellach am gyfleoedd yn sgil dadreoleiddio - hynny yw, cael gwared ar hawliau, safonau a thelerau ac amodau gweithwyr. Felly, credaf y dylid croesawu'r camau a gymerir gan Lywodraeth Cymru ar y cam hwn. Y llynedd, nododd fy nghyd-Aelod, Jo Stevens, yr AS dros Ganol Caerdydd, y ffaith na fu unrhyw erlyniadau yng Nghymru yn 2016 am dorri rheolau'r isafswm cyflog. Rwyf newydd weld y cyhoeddiad ynglŷn â'r 10 erlyniad a fu ers hynny. Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, ymddengys yn glir iawn nad oes unrhyw ewyllys yn Llywodraeth y DU nac unrhyw adnoddau neu ymrwymiad i fynd i'r afael ag effaith yr economi gig a diffyg hawliau gweithwyr. Gŵyr pob un ohonom, fel Aelodau'r Cynulliad, am gwmnïau a materion sy'n codi lle y ceir achosion o dorri rheolau iechyd a diogelwch, telerau ac amodau, a lle mae'n amlwg nad yw'r isafswm cyflog yn cael ei dalu neu ei fod yn cael ei gamddefnyddio drwy systemau talu cymhleth. Onid ydych yn cytuno â mi, yn gyntaf, fod sefydlu'r comisiwn gwaith teg yng Nghymru fel ethos cyflogaeth yng Nghymru yn rhywbeth y mae ei angen yn daer? Yn ail, onid yw'n hen bryd datganoli mater isafswm cyflog, neu'n sicr y broses o'i orfodi, i Lywodraeth sy'n barod i'w amddiffyn?
English: The Member makes many, many important points and I'd suggest that anybody who talks with great enthusiasm about the opportunities of deregulation should first just take a quick look at what's happened with bus services and then assess whether opportunities of deregulation are something that are always attractive and beneficial to the wider population. Can I thank the Member for welcoming the appointment of the chair of the fair work commission and say that, whilst enforcement of the statutory living wage is pitifully under-resourced and the minimum wage is pitifully under-resourced in the UK, this is something that our fair work board has recognised? So, as we transition from a fair work board to the fair work commission, it's been decided that enforcement and how we can make sure this happens in Wales will be an early part of the commission's consideration. The commission should be reporting back with early recommendations in the spring of next year and I would hope, given that it is going to be a priority area of concern, that enforcement of this important process will be part of the report, with recommendations next spring.
Welsh: Mae'r Aelod yn gwneud sawl pwynt pwysig a buaswn yn awgrymu y dylai unrhyw un sy'n siarad yn frwdfrydig ynghylch cyfleoedd dadreoleiddio roi ychydig o ystyriaeth yn gyntaf i'r hyn sydd wedi digwydd gyda gwasanaethau bws, ac asesu a yw cyfleoedd dadreoleiddio yn rhywbeth sydd bob amser yn ddeniadol ac yn fuddiol i'r boblogaeth ehangach. A gaf fi ddiolch i'r Aelod am groesawu penodiad cadeirydd y comisiwn gwaith teg a dweud, er bod y gwaith o orfodi'r cyflog byw statudol yn druenus o brin o adnoddau a bod yr isafswm cyflog yn druenus o brin o adnoddau yn y DU, fod hyn yn rhywbeth y mae ein bwrdd gwaith teg wedi'i gydnabod? Felly, wrth i ni newid o fwrdd gwaith teg i'r comisiwn gwaith teg, penderfynwyd y bydd gorfodi a sut y gallwn sicrhau bod hyn yn digwydd yng Nghymru yn rhan gynnar o ystyriaethau'r comisiwn. Dylai'r comisiwn fod yn adrodd yn ôl gydag argymhellion cynnar yn ystod gwanwyn y flwyddyn nesaf a buaswn yn gobeithio, o gofio'i fod am fod yn faes blaenoriaeth, y bydd gorfodi'r broses bwysig hon yn rhan o'r adroddiad, gydag argymhellion yn ystod y gwanwyn nesaf.
English: Cabinet Secretary, you'll know the Low Pay Commission is visiting Anglesey today and tomorrow to get the views of people affected by the minimum wage. Do you agree with me it's essential that all people are involved, from businesses, workers and trade unions - indeed, anyone with an interest in this important public policy area - to ensure that they deliver evidence so that next year's minimum wage is set at an appropriate level?
Welsh: Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, fe fyddwch yn gwybod bod y Comisiwn Cyflogau Isel yn ymweld ag Ynys Môn heddiw ac yfory i wrando ar farn pobl yr effeithiwyd arnynt gan yr isafswm cyflog. A ydych yn cytuno â mi ei bod yn hanfodol cynnwys pawb, o fusnesau, gweithwyr ac undebau llafur - yn wir, unrhyw un â buddiant yn y maes polisi cyhoeddus pwysig hwn - i sicrhau eu bod yn darparu tystiolaeth fel y gellir gosod isafswm cyflog y flwyddyn nesaf ar lefel briodol?
English: I'd agree that participation is crucial. The vast majority of businesses are incredibly responsible businesses and it's just a small minority that can be ruthless and exploit workers. In terms of ensuring that we get the best rates that can be paid, of course there are many concerns that need to be factored into it. They can't be factored into the setting of the wage rate unless participation by employers takes place, and for that reason I would certainly agree with the Member that participation is required.
Welsh: Buaswn yn cytuno bod cyfranogiad yn hanfodol. Mae'r mwyafrif helaeth o fusnesau yn fusnesau hynod gyfrifol a lleiafrif bach yn unig sy'n gallu bod yn ddiegwyddor a chamfanteisio ar weithwyr. O ran gwneud yn siŵr ein bod yn sicrhau'r cyfraddau gorau y gellir eu talu wrth gwrs, mae angen ystyried llawer o elfennau. Ni ellir eu hystyried yn y broses o osod cyfraddau cyflog oni bai bod cyflogwyr yn cymryd rhan ynddi, ac am y rheswm hwnnw, buaswn yn sicr yn cytuno gyda'r Aelod bod angen cyfranogiad.
English: Michelle Brown. Michelle Brown?
Welsh: Michelle Brown. Michelle Brown?
English: Sorry. No.
Welsh: Mae'n ddrwg gennyf. Na.
English: Yes. Presently, Transport for Wales's remit covers the implementation of the next rail service and the south Wales metro. TfW are establishing a plan to review the scope of services at key milestones throughout the contract. Where elements satisfy economic and deliverability tests, they will be delivered by Transport for Wales.
Welsh: Gwnaf. Ar hyn o bryd, mae cylch gwaith Trafnidiaeth Cymru yn cynnwys y gwaith o roi'r gwasanaeth rheilffyrdd nesaf a metro de Cymru ar waith. Mae Trafnidiaeth Cymru yn sefydlu cynllun i adolygu cwmpas y gwasanaethau ar gerrig milltir allweddol drwy gydol y contract. Lle bydd elfennau'n bodloni profion economaidd a phrofion cyflawnadwyedd, cânt eu rhoi ar waith gan Trafnidiaeth Cymru.
English: I listened with interest to the Cabinet Secretary's answer to Dawn Bowden with regard to the depot at Rhymney, and I have to say what he's offered is not enough. I think more can be done for that economically deserving area, with particular regard - . He's mentioned stabling and light maintenance. I'd like to ask him how many jobs will that create, and what further can be done in the Rhymney area.
Welsh: Gwrandewais â diddordeb ar ateb Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet i Dawn Bowden mewn perthynas â'r depo yn Rhymni, a rhaid imi ddweud nad yw'r hyn a gynigiwyd ganddo yn ddigon. Credaf y gellir gwneud mwy dros yr ardal economaidd haeddiannol honno, yn enwedig - . Soniodd am fannau cadw trenau a mân waith cynnal a chadw. Hoffwn ofyn iddo faint o swyddi y bydd hynny'n eu creu, a beth arall y gellir ei wneud yn ardal Rhymni.
English: First of all, I'd say that the provision of four trains per hour is hugely, hugely beneficial to the community, and I'd also say that, whilst I know you've been a champion of establishing a depot there, the Taffs Well option was more deliverable. The alternative would have cost in the order of an additional £144 million. But we're keen to ensure that the metro is used to redevelop communities, particularly where transport hubs and where stations are going to be upgraded, and it's worth remembering that all of the stations are going to be upgraded as a consequence of the agreement we've reached with KeolisAmey. It's a startling fact that, in the last 15 years, approximately £600,000 has been spent on stations, whereas, in the next 15 years, we'll see something in the order of £194 million spent on stations. We've also had agreement that many of those stations will be utilised to support business development and business growth, particularly those stations where there is existing space and office availability, but where it's not fully utilised. I can't give exact details in terms of the number of jobs that will be created as a consequence of the light maintenance that will be taking place, but I can give the Member assurance that we will look at exploiting every opportunity of the incredible sums of money that we are spending in the Valley to ensure that the Rhymney area gets as many new jobs attracted to the community as possible.
Welsh: Yn gyntaf oll, buaswn yn dweud bod darparu pedwar trên yr awr yn hynod o fuddiol i'r gymuned, a buaswn hefyd yn dweud, er y gwn eich bod o blaid sefydlu depo yno, fod opsiwn Ffynnon Taf yn fwy cyflawnadwy. Byddai'r dewis arall wedi costio oddeutu £144 miliwn yn ychwanegol. Ond rydym yn awyddus i sicrhau y defnyddir y metro i ailddatblygu cymunedau, yn enwedig lle bydd canolfannau trafnidiaeth a gorsafoedd yn cael eu huwchraddio, ac mae'n werth cofio y bydd pob un o'r gorsafoedd yn cael eu huwchraddio o ganlyniad i gytundeb rhyngom a KeolisAmey. Mae'n ffaith syfrdanol, dros y 15 mlynedd diwethaf, fod oddeutu £600,000 wedi'i wario ar orsafoedd, ac yn y 15 mlynedd nesaf, bydd oddeutu £194 miliwn yn cael ei wario ar orsafoedd. Rydym hefyd wedi cael cytundeb y bydd llawer o'r gorsafoedd hynny'n cael eu defnyddio i gefnogi datblygiad busnes a thwf busnes, yn enwedig y gorsafoedd gyda lle a swyddfeydd ar gael eisoes, ond lle nad ydynt wedi cael eu defnyddio i'r eithaf. Ni allaf roi'r union fanylion o ran nifer y swyddi a gaiff eu creu o ganlyniad i'r mân waith cynnal a chadw a fydd yn mynd rhagddo, ond gallaf roi sicrwydd i'r Aelod y byddwn yn ceisio manteisio ar bob cyfle a ddaw yn sgil y symiau aruthrol o arian rydym yn eu gwario yn y Cwm i sicrhau bod ardal Rhymni yn denu cynifer o swyddi newydd â phosibl i'r gymuned.
English: Cabinet Secretary, Transport for Wales is at present seeking specialist civil contractors for the framework of rail works, which include ancillary works to stations, interchanges, car parks, roads and paths and other general construction work associated with rail enhancement. However, in 2014, your predecessor announced that Newport was to get £4 million for a new footbridge crossing the railway station, improvement to the new bus station and for bus stops in the city. I'm advised that this funding was never received and the work was not even undertaken. Could the Cabinet Secretary confirm this and advise the reason why these improvements did not proceed, in spite of being announced publicly in Wales? Thank you.
Welsh: Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, ar hyn o bryd, mae Trafnidiaeth Cymru yn chwilio am gontractwyr sifil arbenigol ar gyfer fframwaith y gwaith ar y rheilffyrdd, sy'n cynnwys gwaith ategol ar orsafoedd, cyfnewidfeydd, meysydd parcio, ffyrdd a llwybrau a gwaith adeiladu cyffredinol arall sy'n gysylltiedig â gwella'r rheilffyrdd. Fodd bynnag, yn 2014, cyhoeddodd eich rhagflaenydd y byddai Casnewydd yn cael £4 miliwn ar gyfer pont droed newydd i groesi'r orsaf drenau, gwelliannau i'r orsaf fysiau newydd ac ar gyfer safleoedd bws yn y ddinas. Rwy'n deall na ddarparwyd y cyllid hwn ac na chafodd y gwaith ei wneud hyd yn oed. A all Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet gadarnhau hyn a rhoi gwybod inni pam na fwriwyd ymlaen â'r gwelliannau hyn, er iddynt gael eu cyhoeddi yng Nghymru? Diolch.
English: Thank you. Can I assure the Member that I'll look into this? It may require consultation with Network Rail. I'll need to look at the detail of the investment that was announced, and check against that what actually has been delivered. If there is a case of promises not being met, I'll then need to assess why it was that investment was not channelled into the station as the Member outlines.
Welsh: Diolch. A gaf fi sicrhau'r Aelod y byddaf yn edrych ar hyn? Efallai y bydd angen ymgynghori â Network Rail. Bydd angen imi edrych yn fanwl ar y buddsoddiad a gyhoeddwyd, a gwirio yn erbyn hynny yr hyn a gyflawnwyd mewn gwirionedd. Os ceir achos o dorri addewidion, bydd angen imi asesu wedyn pam na wnaed y buddsoddiad hwnnw yn yr orsaf fel y mae'r Aelod yn ei amlinellu.
English: I regularly discuss the importance of digital connectivity throughout Wales with the leader of the house, and we share the same view of its enormous importance to economic growth and sustainability throughout the country.
Welsh: Rwy'n trafod pwysigrwydd cysylltedd digidol ledled Cymru yn rheolaidd gydag arweinydd y tŷ, ac rydym o'r un farn ynglŷn â'i bwysigrwydd enfawr i gynaliadwyedd a thwf economaidd ledled y wlad.
English: Thank you, Cabinet Secretary, for that reply and I'm particularly pleased that you are working with the leader of the house on this issue and opportunity, in fact, because, in addition to the community and household benefits of broadband and full fibre and digital connectivity, there are clear economic benefits as well. Statistics clearly show that the country will receive £20 for every £1 investment in broadband, and this is a great return on infrastructure investment. Would the Cabinet Secretary agree with me that we need to do all we can to invest in digital full fibre connectivity, and support the idea of a gigabit hub in and around the Flintshire/Wrexham area like I've previously suggested to the leader of the house?
Welsh: Diolch am eich ateb, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, ac rwy'n arbennig o falch eich bod yn gweithio gydag arweinydd y tŷ ar y mater a'r cyfle hwn, mewn gwirionedd, oherwydd, yn ogystal â manteision ffeibr llawn a band eang a chysylltedd digidol i'r gymuned ac i'r cartref, ceir manteision economaidd clir hefyd. Dengys ystadegau'n glir y bydd y wlad yn cael £20 am bob £1 a fuddsoddir mewn band eang, ac mae hwn yn elw gwych ar fuddsoddiad mewn seilwaith. A fyddai Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet yn cytuno â mi fod angen inni wneud popeth a allwn i fuddsoddi mewn cysylltedd digidol ffeibr llawn, ac yn cefnogi'r syniad o sefydlu canolfan gigabit yn ac o gwmpas ardal y Fflint a Wrecsam, fel rwyf eisoes wedi'i awgrymu wrth arweinydd y tŷ?
English: Well, I'm delighted that in the summer the next phase of Superfast Cymru will be announced by the leader of the house. The Member is absolutely right to identify the economic benefits of digital connectivity. Indeed, the strong performance of the digital sector has helped to create or safeguard around about 11,000 high-value jobs in the last eight years as a consequence of Welsh Government support, and the sector's performance in the last year is particularly startling, for almost 30 per cent of foreign direct investment projects recorded for Wales came through the digital sector. So, it's a major, major contributor to the wealth of the nation. With regard particularly to north Wales, well, I'm very pleased to say that the six local authorities across north Wales are collaborating to develop a strategy to enhance digital connectivity right across the region. I know that the leaders of the growth deal bid will be very keen to explore every opportunity to exploit the latest digital technology and infrastructure.
Welsh: Wel, rwyf wrth fy modd y bydd cam nesaf Cyflymu Cymru yn cael ei gyhoeddi gan arweinydd y tŷ yn yr haf. Mae'r Aelod yn llygad ei le wrth nodi manteision economaidd cysylltedd digidol. Yn wir, mae perfformiad cryf y sector digidol wedi helpu i greu neu ddiogelu oddeutu 11,000 o swyddi uchel eu gwerth yn yr wyth mlynedd diwethaf o ganlyniad i gefnogaeth Llywodraeth Cymru, ac mae perfformiad y sector yn y flwyddyn ddiwethaf yn arbennig o syfrdanol, gan fod bron i 30 y cant o brosiectau buddsoddi uniongyrchol o dramor a gofnodwyd yng Nghymru wedi dod drwy'r sector digidol. Felly, mae'n gyfrannwr pwysig iawn i gyfoeth y genedl. O ran gogledd Cymru yn benodol, wel, rwy'n falch iawn o ddweud bod y chwe awdurdod lleol yng ngogledd Cymru yn cydweithio i ddatblygu strategaeth i wella cysylltedd digidol ar draws y rhanbarth. Gwn y bydd arweinwyr cais y fargen twf yn awyddus iawn i archwilio pob cyfle i fanteisio ar y seilwaith a'r dechnoleg ddigidol ddiweddaraf.
English: When you announced your digital innovation review, Cabinet Secretary, you said that you wanted to develop the potential of our regions so that they would support better jobs closer to home, and this is something that I would agree with you on. You've also been very supportive, like me, of a mid Wales growth deal. Now, in order to ensure that mid Wales is plugged into the wider midlands economy, improvements in high-speed broadband and mobile connectivity should be part of any mid Wales growth deal. I wonder: would you agree with me on that view? Can I ask what steps are you taking in association with your colleague the leader of the house to ensure that the digital divide between mid Wales and other parts of Wales does not widen further, which is, sadly, the case at the moment?
Welsh: Pan gyhoeddoch chi eich adolygiad arloesi digidol, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, fe ddywedoch eich bod yn awyddus i ddatblygu potensial ein rhanbarthau er mwyn iddynt gynnal gwell swyddi yn nes at adref, ac mae hyn yn rhywbeth y byddwn yn cytuno â chi yn ei gylch. Rydych hefyd wedi bod yn gefnogol iawn, fel finnau, i fargen twf ar gyfer canolbarth Cymru. Nawr, er mwyn sicrhau bod canolbarth Cymru yn cysylltu ag economi ehangach canolbarth Lloegr, dylai gwelliannau o ran cysylltedd band eang cyflym iawn a signal ffonau symudol fod yn rhan o unrhyw fargen twf ar gyfer canolbarth Cymru. Tybed a fyddech yn cytuno â mi ar hynny? A gaf fi ofyn pa gamau rydych yn eu cymryd ar y cyd â'ch cyd-Aelod, arweinydd y tŷ, i sicrhau nad yw'r gagendor digidol rhwng canolbarth Cymru a rhannau eraill o Gymru yn ehangu ymhellach, gan fod hynny, yn anffodus, yn digwydd ar hyn o bryd?
English: Well, I'm confident that, with the next phase of Superfast Cymru, we'll see that gap narrowed. The intention of the second phase, the next phase of the project, is to ensure that those harder-to-reach properties are connected, therefore leading to a narrowing of that gap that the Member has identified. And I would support the Member's call for the growth deal in mid Wales to dovetail with interventions and deals across the border. It's absolutely essential that a good degree of collaboration and co-operation takes place on a cross-border basis. I'm certainly encouraging that. I know that Lord Bourne as well has stated that this should take place, and I'm pleased to be able to tell the Member today that it's my intention to meet with him, subject to his diary availability, on 24 July to meet with a number of businesses in mid Wales to discuss how it is that we can promote economic development in places like Newtown and Welshpool, utilising not just the built infrastructure such as roads and rail networks but also digital infrastructure.
Welsh: Wel, rwy'n hyderus, gyda cham nesaf rhaglen Cyflymu Cymru, y byddwn yn gweld y bwlch hwnnw'n lleihau. Bwriad yr ail gam, cam nesaf y prosiect, yw sicrhau bod yr eiddo anodd eu cyrraedd yn cael eu cysylltu, gan arwain felly at leihau'r bwlch a nodwyd gan yr Aelod. A buaswn yn cefnogi galwad yr Aelod i sicrhau bod y fargen twf yng nghanolbarth Cymru yn cydweddu ag ymyriadau a bargeinion dros y ffin. Mae'n gwbl hanfodol fod lefel dda o gydweithredu a chydweithio'n digwydd ar sail drawsffiniol. Rwy'n sicr yn annog hynny. Gwn fod yr Arglwydd Bourne hefyd wedi dweud y dylai hyn ddigwydd, ac rwy'n falch o allu dweud wrth yr Aelod heddiw fy mod yn bwriadu cyfarfod ag ef, os yw ei ddyddiadur yn caniatáu, ar 24 Gorffennaf i gyfarfod â nifer o fusnesau yn nghanolbarth Cymru i drafod sut y gallwn hyrwyddo datblygiad economaidd mewn lleoedd fel y Drenewydd a'r Trallwng, gan ddefnyddio nid yn unig y seilwaith adeiledig megis ffyrdd a rhwydweithiau rheilffyrdd, ond y seilwaith digidol hefyd.
English: Cabinet Secretary, the Swansea Bay city deal is built around and dependent upon digital connectivity. In the initial business case for the city deal, a new terabit capacity transatlantic cable between New York and Oxwich Bay was proposed but never made it into the final deal. The new link would have put Swansea Bay region at the heart of a digital superhighway, not just delivering higher speeds and greater capacity but also, more importantly, lower latency. So, Cabinet Secretary, what happened to the new transatlantic cable?
Welsh: Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, mae bargen ddinesig Bae Abertawe yn seiliedig ac yn dibynnu ar gysylltedd digidol. Yn yr achos busnes cychwynnol ar gyfer y fargen ddinesig, cynigiwyd gosod cebl trawsatlantig newydd â chapasiti terabit rhwng Efrog Newydd a Bae Oxwich, ond ni chafodd ei gynnwys yn y fargen derfynol. Byddai'r cyswllt newydd wedi rhoi rhanbarth Bae Abertawe ar draffordd ddigidol, gan ddarparu nid yn unig cyflymderau uwch a gwell capasiti, ond hefyd, yn fwy pwysig, cuddni is. Felly, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, beth a ddigwyddodd i'r cebl trawsatlantig newydd?
English: Well, I always thought that the vision outlined by Sir Terry Matthews was absolutely compelling, and it's a vision that has been used to shape the Swansea Bay city deal. Now, it's for local authority leaders to construct a city deal that is based upon the existing strengths but also the future opportunities of the region. I know that the Swansea Bay city region leaders are determined to make best use of the levers available to them through the deal, and I am encouraging them to continue to reflect on that vision that was outlined by Sir Terry Matthews and to make sure that the interventions and investments that are made in the region get the maximum value for the people they're designed to serve.
Welsh: Wel, roeddwn bob amser o'r farn fod y weledigaeth a amlinellwyd gan Syr Terry Matthews yn gwbl ardderchog, ac mae'n weledigaeth a ddefnyddiwyd i lunio bargen ddinesig Bae Abertawe. Nawr, cyfrifoldeb arweinwyr awdurdodau lleol yw llunio bargen ddinesig sy'n seiliedig ar gryfderau presennol yn ogystal â chyfleoedd y rhanbarth yn y dyfodol. Gwn fod arweinwyr dinas-ranbarth Bae Abertawe yn benderfynol o wneud y gorau o'r dulliau sydd ar gael iddynt drwy'r fargen, ac rwy'n eu hannog i barhau i feddwl am y weledigaeth a amlinellwyd gan Syr Terry Matthews ac i sicrhau bod yr ymyriadau a'r buddsoddiadau a wneir yn y rhanbarth yn sicrhau'r gwerth mwyaf posibl i'r bobl y cawsant eu llunio i'w gwasanaethu.
