English: I'd like to raise the case of Rubylicious dance studio. It's a fantastic company that is based in Canton in Cardiff West. My concern is that they should be - or they should have been - entitled to the £10,000 grant in terms of the business rate rebate, but unfortunately for them and also for other businesses in the same situation, the £10,000 has been passed on to the landlord who, in fact, doesn't actually have a business other than renting the premises, and the landlord here, as with other landlords, it would seem, is not going to suffer any financial loss and yet is refusing to pass on the £10,000. So, I thought maybe I'd ask you to address that and possibly as well have a word with the First Minister and ask him if he could ask his member of staff, Councillor Patel, to maybe pass on the £10,000 to Rubylicious in Cardiff West instead of pocketing it himself. I think that would be a really good thing to do. So, if you could do that, I'd be really grateful.
Welsh: Hoffwn nodi achos stiwdio ddawns Rubylicious. Mae'n gwmni gwych sydd wedi'i leoli yn Nhreganna yng Ngorllewin Caerdydd. Fy mhryder yw y dylent fod - neu dylent fod wedi bod - â hawl i gael y grant o £10,000 o ad-daliad ardrethi busnes, ond yn anffodus iddynt hwy a hefyd i fusnesau eraill yn yr un sefyllfa, mae'r £10,000 wedi'i drosglwyddo i'r landlord nad oes ganddo fusnes mewn gwirionedd heblaw gosod y safle ar rent, ac mae'n ymddangos nad yw'r landlord yma, fel landlordiaid eraill, yn mynd i ddioddef unrhyw golled ariannol ac eto maent yn gwrthod trosglwyddo'r £10,000. Felly, roeddwn i'n meddwl efallai y byddwn yn gofyn i chi fynd i'r afael â hynny a chael gair gyda'r Prif Weinidog efallai a gofyn iddo a allai ofyn i'w aelod o staff, y Cynghorydd Patel, drosglwyddo'r £10,000 i Rubylicious yng Ngorllewin Caerdydd yn lle ei bocedu ei hun. Rwy'n credu y byddai hynny'n beth da iawn i'w wneud. Felly, byddwn yn ddiolchgar iawn os gallwch wneud hynny.
English: I'll certainly make investigations and enquiries into this specific case. I can't comment on specific cases without having all of the detail to hand, but I'll certainly investigate this matter. It's vitally important that we all work together to overcome coronavirus, not just the public health consequences but the economic consequences as well. So, I'll ask officials to look into this particular case but also just generally to take a look at how the grant arrangements are being administered across local government.
Welsh: Yn sicr, fe wnaf ymchwilio ac ymholi ynghylch yr achos penodol hwn. Ni allaf wneud sylwadau ar achosion penodol heb gael yr holl fanylion wrth law, ond byddaf yn sicr yn ymchwilio i'r mater. Mae'n hanfodol bwysig ein bod i gyd yn gweithio gyda'n gilydd i oresgyn y coronafeirws, nid yn unig y canlyniadau i iechyd y cyhoedd ond y canlyniadau economaidd hefyd. Felly, byddaf yn gofyn i swyddogion ymchwilio i'r achos penodol hwn ond hefyd yn gyffredinol i edrych ar sut y mae'r trefniadau grant yn cael eu gweinyddu ar draws llywodraeth leol.
English: Minister, what plans do you have to work with the UK Government to support key employers in Alyn and Deeside? Airbus, Tata steel and KK Fine Foods are amongst many who are facing uncertain challenges, business challenges, economic challenges and extreme uncertainty. Minister, we need both Governments around the table to further support these employers and to further support those employees, both directly employed and any agency staff.
Welsh: Weinidog, pa gynlluniau sydd gennych i weithio gyda Llywodraeth y DU i gefnogi cyflogwyr allweddol yn Alun a Glannau Dyfrdwy? Mae Airbus, dur Tata a KK Fine Foods ymhlith llawer sy'n wynebu heriau ansicr, heriau busnes, heriau economaidd ac ansicrwydd eithafol. Weinidog, mae arnom angen y ddwy Lywodraeth o amgylch y bwrdd i gefnogi'r cyflogwyr hyn ymhellach ac i roi cymorth pellach i'r gweithwyr a gyflogir yn uniongyrchol ac unrhyw staff asiantaeth.
English: Can I thank Jack Sargeant for his question? I'm pleased to say that those companies that he's identified have benefited from direct Welsh Government support in recent times. It's absolutely vital that the support that is now being offered by UK Government in the form of the job retention scheme is lengthened. I've already mentioned in my answers to other Members how the aero-sector and, indeed, how KK Fine Foods are facing deep uncertainty right now because of a lack of detail over what will happen to the furlough scheme after the end of June, and I was reassured today by the comments from my counterpart in BEIS when he said that the UK Government are keen to avoid a cliff edge in the furlough scheme. I hope that will give some assurance to the likes of KK Fine Foods and other businesses that have issued those at-risk notices. And there is no doubt, as I've said to other Members, that the UK Government can carry out a swift learning exercise in the job retention scheme and make amendments to it that are necessary to protect as many jobs as possible in the future. As I said to Jack Sargeant at the outset of my answer, Welsh Government has stood shoulder to shoulder with the likes of Airbus, KK Fine Foods and Tata steel over many, many years, and, therefore, it's absolutely right that the UK Government now comes and joins us in supporting these vitally important employers so that they can get through coronavirus with as many jobs being retained as possible.
Welsh: A gaf fi ddiolch i Jack Sargeant am ei gwestiwn? Rwy'n falch o ddweud bod y cwmnïau y mae wedi'u nodi wedi elwa o gefnogaeth uniongyrchol Llywodraeth Cymru yn ddiweddar. Mae'n gwbl hanfodol fod y gefnogaeth sydd bellach yn cael ei chynnig gan Lywodraeth y DU ar ffurf y cynllun cadw swyddi yn cael ei hymestyn. Rwyf eisoes wedi crybwyll yn fy atebion i Aelodau eraill sut y mae'r sector awyrennau ac yn wir, sut y mae KK Fine Foods yn wynebu ansicrwydd dwfn ar hyn o bryd oherwydd prinder manylion ynghylch yr hyn a fydd yn digwydd i'r cynllun ffyrlo ar ôl diwedd mis Mehefin, a chefais fy sicrhau heddiw gan sylwadau fy aelod cyfatebol yn yr Adran Busnes, Ynni a Strategaeth Ddiwydiannol pan ddywedodd fod Llywodraeth y DU yn awyddus i osgoi ymyl clogwyn yn y cynllun ffyrlo. Rwy'n gobeithio y bydd hynny'n rhoi rhywfaint o sicrwydd i gwmnïau fel KK Fine Foods a busnesau eraill a gyhoeddodd yr hysbysiadau swyddi mewn perygl hynny. Ac fel y dywedais wrth Aelodau eraill, nid oes amheuaeth y gall Llywodraeth y DU gynnal ymarfer dysgu cyflym yn y cynllun cadw swyddi a gwneud newidiadau iddo sy'n angenrheidiol i ddiogelu cymaint o swyddi â phosibl yn y dyfodol. Fel y dywedais wrth Jack Sargeant ar ddechrau fy ateb, mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi sefyll ochr yn ochr â rhai fel Airbus, KK Fine Foods, a dur Tata dros nifer fawr o flynyddoedd, ac felly, mae'n hollol iawn fod Llywodraeth y DU yn awr yn dod ac yn ymuno â ni i gefnogi'r cyflogwyr hanfodol bwysig hyn fel y gallant oroesi'r coronafeirws gan gadw cymaint o swyddi â phosibl.
English: Many people have spoken today about the negative impact on tourism across Wales and, of course, my area is where tourism does provide a significant impact, perhaps disproportionately to other areas. We do know that tourism is worth £3 billion to the Welsh economy, but there's £2 billion-worth of funds from the Welsh Government. So, it seems very likely that, when we try to come out of lockdown and have some easement, the social distancing rules will make it virtually impossible for most tourism industries to survive, and I'm really pleased to hear what you're saying. So, moving forward from that, I think what we need to look at, and you've hinted at it, is building up the small community innovation that we are finding, and one such innovation happened in Ammanford. I met with them two years ago, with Rob Venus, and he put in an application at that time to have some money. It's a community-based organisation that's moving on now to look at possibly building ventilators. So, I suppose my question is this: moving forward, we have to be more sustainable - that is obvious and evident from everything that's happened - and investment in innovation where it currently exists and can be expanded is probably one of the ways forward, as well as looking after the existing industries that bring vast wealth to this country.
Welsh: Mae llawer o bobl wedi siarad heddiw am yr effaith negyddol ar dwristiaeth ledled Cymru ac wrth gwrs, mae twristiaeth yn cael effaith sylweddol ar fy ardal i, yn anghymesur efallai o gymharu ag ardaloedd eraill. Rydym yn gwybod bod twristiaeth yn werth £3 biliwn i economi Cymru, ond daw gwerth £2 biliwn o gronfeydd Llywodraeth Cymru. Felly, mae'n ymddangos yn debygol iawn pan geisiwn droi cefn ar y cyfyngiadau symud a chael rhywfaint o lacio y bydd y rheolau cadw pellter cymdeithasol yn ei gwneud hi'n amhosibl bron i'r mwyafrif o ddiwydiannau twristiaeth oroesi, ac rwy'n falch iawn o glywed yr hyn rydych chi'n ei ddweud. Felly, gan symud ymlaen o hynny, rwy'n credu mai'r hyn sydd angen inni edrych arno, ac rydych chi wedi cyffwrdd ar hyn, yw adeiladu'r arloesedd cymunedol bach rydym yn ei weld, a digwyddodd un enghraifft o'r fath o arloesedd yn Rhydaman. Cyfarfûm â hwy ddwy flynedd yn ôl, gyda Rob Venus, ac fe gyflwynodd gais bryd hynny i gael rhywfaint o arian. Mae'n sefydliad cymunedol sy'n symud ymlaen yn awr i edrych ar y posibilrwydd o greu peiriannau anadlu. Felly, mae'n debyg mai fy nghwestiwn yw hwn: wrth symud ymlaen, mae'n rhaid i ni fod yn fwy cynaliadwy - mae hynny'n glir ac yn amlwg o bopeth sydd wedi digwydd - ac mae'n debyg mai buddsoddi mewn arloesedd lle mae'n bodoli ar hyn o bryd a lle gellir ei ehangu yw un o'r ffyrdd ymlaen, yn ogystal â gofalu am y diwydiannau presennol sy'n dod â chyfoeth enfawr i'r wlad hon.
English: Well, Joyce Watson is absolutely right - we've seen incredible innovation across Welsh businesses during the course of the crisis. We've seen distilleries turn their hands to making hand sanitiser, we've seen businesses in the aero sector produce ventilators, we've seen a huge number of businesses producing vital PPE, and I'm in no doubt that those efforts will continue for some weeks to come. There will be opportunities that will emerge during the course of the recovery, and innovation will be crucial in making sure that we take full advantage of them, and that's why I'm determined to ensure that we intensify our call for businesses to utilise the calls-to-action funding, the economy futures fund that was set up to futureproof businesses, to drive R&D and innovation. One of those five calls is, of course, innovation, and I'm confident that we made the right decision when we published the economic action plan to include innovation as one of the five calls, and I'm absolutely determined to maintain it as one of the key features of our condition of funding in the years to come.
Welsh: Wel, mae Joyce Watson yn llygad ei lle - rydym wedi gweld arloesedd anhygoel ar draws busnesau Cymru yn ystod yr argyfwng. Rydym wedi gweld distyllfeydd yn troi at wneud hylif diheintio dwylo; rydym wedi gweld busnesau yn y sector awyrennau'n cynhyrchu peiriannau anadlu; rydym wedi gweld nifer enfawr o fusnesau'n cynhyrchu cyfarpar diogelu personol hanfodol, ac nid oes amheuaeth gennyf y bydd yr ymdrechion hynny'n parhau am rai wythnosau i ddod. Bydd cyfleoedd yn codi yn ystod y cyfnod adfer a bydd arloesi'n hanfodol ar gyfer sicrhau ein bod yn manteisio'n llawn arnynt, a dyna pam rwy'n benderfynol o sicrhau ein bod yn dwysáu ein galwad ar fusnesau i ddefnyddio'r cyllid meysydd gweithredu, cronfa dyfodol yr economi a sefydlwyd i ddiogelu busnesau ar gyfer y dyfodol, i ysgogi ymchwil a datblygu ac arloesedd. Un o'r pum galwad, wrth gwrs, yw arloesedd, ac rwy'n hyderus ein bod wedi gwneud y penderfyniad cywir pan wnaethom gyhoeddi'r cynllun gweithredu economaidd i gynnwys arloesedd fel un o'r pum galwad, ac rwy'n gwbl benderfynol o'i gadw fel un o nodweddion allweddol ein hamod cyllido yn y blynyddoedd i ddod.
English: Minister, first of all, can I thank you for the help you've given to my constituency and the businesses there, particularly the ones I've written to you about? I very much await a response to some of the other areas, but it's been very helpful in those areas. The biggest employer in my constituency is Tata, as has already been raised by Members, and Tata employs not just directly but also the sub-contractors that go into Tata. So, it's a huge aspect of the economy, and my MP colleague often says it's the beating heart of our economy. But, when you speak to the Ministers in London, can you highlight the fact that the cap on CBILS at the moment is £50 million. For our counterparts in Europe, in Holland, it's €150 million, and in Germany and France it's 25 per cent of the annual turnover. Therefore, we are way behind our competitors in being able to support those large businesses, and there's also talk in Europe about states asking the EU to relax state aid rules, which is something the UK Government has always fallen behind to say they can't help. Can you, therefore, push the UK Government to actually look very carefully at how they can help Tata and particular businesses like that, because, without that type of support, we may be facing very serious challenges in the years ahead?
Welsh: Weinidog, yn gyntaf oll, a gaf fi ddiolch i chi am yr help rydych chi wedi'i roi i fy etholaeth a'r busnesau yno, yn enwedig y rhai yr ysgrifennais atoch yn eu cylch? Ac rwy'n edrych ymlaen yn fawr at gael ymateb i rai o'r meysydd eraill, ond mae wedi bod yn ddefnyddiol iawn yn y meysydd hynny. Y cyflogwr mwyaf yn fy etholaeth yw Tata, fel sydd eisoes wedi'i grybwyll gan Aelodau, ac mae Tata'n cyflogi nid yn unig yn uniongyrchol ond hefyd yr isgontractwyr sy'n mynd i mewn i Tata. Felly, mae'n elfen enfawr o'r economi, ac mae fy nghyfaill yn Senedd y DU yn aml yn dweud mai dyna yw calon ein heconomi. Ond pan siaradwch â'r Gweinidogion yn Llundain, a wnewch chi dynnu sylw at y ffaith bod y cap ar y cynllun benthyciad tarfu ar fusnes yn sgil y coronafeirws ar hyn o bryd yn £50 miliwn. I'n cymheiriaid yn Ewrop, yn yr Iseldiroedd, mae'n €150 miliwn, ac yn yr Almaen a Ffrainc mae'n 25 y cant o'r trosiant blynyddol. Felly, rydym ymhell y tu ôl i'n cystadleuwyr o ran ein gallu i gefnogi'r busnesau mawr hynny, ac mae sôn hefyd yn Ewrop am wladwriaethau'n gofyn i'r UE lacio rheolau cymorth gwladwriaethol, sy'n rhywbeth y mae Llywodraeth y DU bob amser wedi cuddio tu ôl iddo i ddweud na allant helpu. A allwch chi, felly, wasgu ar Lywodraeth y DU i edrych yn ofalus iawn ar sut y gallant helpu Tata a busnesau penodol fel hynny, oherwydd heb y math hwnnw o gymorth, efallai ein bod yn wynebu heriau difrifol iawn yn y blynyddoedd i ddod?
English: Yes, of course, we'll do that. I can assure David Rees we will do that and, obviously, it's a pleasure to help the businesses that he has represented in recent weeks who have faced incredible difficulties. I do hope that we're helping as many businesses as we possibly can in his constituency and across Wales overcome the challenges of coronavirus. But I think, in terms of the support that's required by Tata, a bespoke package of support is needed from UK Government. UK Government has stepped in to support some major employers elsewhere. We are pressing the case on a very regular basis, including just today, for the UK Government to support Tata, and I am hopeful that they will do so.
Welsh: Wrth gwrs y gwnawn hynny. Gallaf sicrhau David Rees y byddwn yn gwneud hynny ac yn amlwg, mae'n bleser helpu'r busnesau y mae wedi'u cynrychioli yn ystod yr wythnosau diwethaf sydd wedi wynebu anawsterau anhygoel. Rwy'n gobeithio ein bod ni'n helpu cymaint o fusnesau ag y gallwn yn ei etholaeth ac ar draws Cymru i oresgyn heriau coronafeirws. Ond o ran y gefnogaeth sydd ei hangen ar Tata, rwy'n credu bod angen pecyn cymorth pwrpasol gan Lywodraeth y DU. Mae Llywodraeth y DU wedi camu i'r adwy i gefnogi rhai cyflogwyr mawr mewn mannau eraill. Rydym yn pwyso ar Lywodraeth y DU yn rheolaidd iawn, gan gynnwys heddiw ddiwethaf, i gefnogi Tata, ac rwy'n obeithiol y gwnânt hynny.
English: Thank you, Minister. We're taking a break of 10 minutes now, and can I ask Members who are taking part in the next statement to be back promptly? Diolch.
Welsh: Diolch, Weinidog. Fe gawn seibiant o 10 munud yn awr, ac a gaf fi ofyn i'r Aelodau sy'n cymryd rhan yn y datganiad nesaf ddychwelyd yn brydlon? Diolch.
English: So, the Plenary reconvenes and we move to item 5 on the agenda this afternoon, which is a statement by the Minister for International Relations and the Welsh Language on coronavirus, and I call on the Minister for International Relations and the Welsh Language, Eluned Morgan.
Welsh: Mae'r Cyfarfod Llawn yn ailymgynnull a symudwn at eitem 5 ar yr agenda y prynhawn yma, sef datganiad gan Weinidog y Gymraeg a Chysylltiadau Rhyngwladol ar y coronafeirws, a galwaf ar Weinidog y Gymraeg a Chysylltiadau Rhyngwladol - Eluned Morgan.
English: Thank you very much. I will turn now to two other issues that aren't related to the COVID crisis, you'll be pleased to hear, perhaps. What's your view on the statutory instrument on the census, which is currently going through Westminster, in terms of gathering data on the number of Welsh speakers? The likelihood is that a sampling system will be used for those who are unable to complete the census online. And, of course, that could mean that the data on the number of Welsh speakers will be incomplete. Will your Government oppose the use of sampling in Wales as part of the 2021 census? Finally, it appears that your Government will introduce the education curriculum Bill over the next few weeks. Can you confirm that you, as Minister for the Welsh language, will carry out a thorough assessment of the impact of the Bill on the Welsh language and on Welsh-medium education? There is one specific issue that is a cause for concern and that is the intention of the new legislation to provide powers to governing bodies rather than local authorities in terms of the language policies of schools. The decision to adopt immersion approaches during the foundation phase would be a choice for every separate governing body, and you can just imagine that that would undermine the robust language policies of a number of local authorities and would be a severe blow to the development of Welsh-medium education across Wales. So, will you hold urgent discussions with the education Minister in order to ensure that we strengthen the position of the Welsh language rather than weakening it through the new curriculum Bill?
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn ichi am hynny. Dwi'n troi at ddau fater arall sydd ddim yn gysylltiedig efo'r argyfwng COVID, byddwch chi'n falch o glywed, efallai. Beth ydy'ch barn chi am yr offeryn statudol ar y cyfrifiad o'r boblogaeth sydd yn mynd drwy San Steffan ar hyn o bryd, o safbwynt casglu data am y nifer o siaradwyr Cymraeg? Y tebygrwydd ydy mai dull samplo fydd ar gael ar gyfer y rhai hynny fydd yn methu cwblhau'r cyfrifiad ar-lein. Wrth gwrs, fe all hynny olygu y bydd data ar nifer y siaradwyr Cymraeg yn anghyflawn. Fydd eich Llywodraeth chi'n gwrthwynebu'r defnydd o samplu yng Nghymru fel rhan o gyfrifiad 2021? Ac yn olaf, mae'n ymddangos y bydd eich Llywodraeth chi yn cyflwyno Bil y cwricwlwm addysg yn yr wythnosau nesaf. A fedrwch chi gadarnhau y byddwch chi, fel Gweinidog y Gymraeg, yn gwneud asesiad trwyadl o effaith y Bil ar y Gymraeg ac ar addysg cyfrwng Cymraeg? Mae yna un mater penodol yn peri pryder, a hynny ydy bwriad y ddeddfwriaeth newydd i roi grym i gyrff llywodraethwyr yn hytrach nag i awdurdodau lleol o ran polisi iaith ysgolion. Byddai'r penderfyniad i ddilyn polisïau trochi ai peidio yn y cyfnod sylfaen yn ddewis i bob corff llywodraethol ar wahân ac fe fedrwch chi ddychmygu y byddai hyn yn tanseilio polisïau iaith cadarn nifer o awdurdodau lleol ac yn ergyd ddifrifol i ddatblygiad addysg cyfrwng Cymraeg ar draws Cymru. A wnewch chi gynnal trafodaeth fuan efo'r Gweinidog Addysg er mwyn sicrhau mai cryfhau ac nid gwanio sefyllfa'r Gymraeg fydd Bil y cwricwlwm newydd?
English: Thank you. Well, in terms of the census, we are keeping a close eye on how those questions are posed because people answer in different ways depending on the question asked, of course. So, we are keeping a very close eye on that. We will have to look at sampling and consider what they're likely to ask in that area and how that could perhaps impact the census. The important thing with the census is that you compare one decade with the next. Therefore, I do think that sampling is likely to introduce changes and perhaps not provide us with the assessment that we would expect to have. But we are in a different situation now, perhaps, and we will continue with those negotiations on the census. In terms of the curriculum, well, I've just come off a call with the education Minister and we were discussing this very issue. So, you can be confident that I am keeping a close eye on what's happening. The Minister for Education is aware of the situation and is committed to ensuring that we do keep a close eye on developments. Of course, we don't want to change the policy that we currently have or see that anything within that curriculum Bill would have a detrimental impact on what we have already developed and achieved.
Welsh: Diolch. Wrth gwrs, o ran y cyfrifiad, rŷn ni'n cadw golwg manwl ar sut mae'r cwestiynau'n cael eu gofyn, achos mae pobl yn ateb mewn ffyrdd gwahanol os ydych chi'n gofyn y cwestiwn mewn ffordd wahanol. Felly, rydym ni'n cadw golwg craff ar hwnna. Bydd yn rhaid inni edrych ar y samplo a gweld beth maen nhw'n debygol o ofyn yn y maes yna a sut y byddai hynny efallai'n effeithio ar y cyfrifiad. Y peth pwysicaf ar gyfer cyfrifiad yw eich bod chi'n gallu cymharu un flwyddyn gyda'r ddegawd flaenorol. Felly, dwi yn meddwl bod samplo wedyn yn debygol o roi newidiadau ac efallai ddim yn rhoi'r asesiad y byddem ni'n disgwyl ei gael. Ond rydym ni mewn sefyllfa wahanol nawr, efallai, a byddwn yn parhau gyda'r trafodaethau o ran y cyfrifiad. O ran y cwricwlwm Cymraeg, rwyf newydd ddod off galwad gyda'r Gweinidog Addysg. Roeddem ni'n trafod yr union fater yma, felly gallwch chi fod yn ffyddiog fy mod i yn cadw golwg craff ar beth sy'n digwydd. Mae'r Gweinidog Addysg yn ymwybodol o'r sefyllfa ac wedi ymrwymo i sicrhau y bydd hi'n cadw golwg craff ar beth sy'n digwydd. Wrth gwrs, dydyn ni ddim eisiau newid y polisi sydd gyda ni na gweld bod unrhyw beth y tu fewn i Fil y cwricwlwm yna yn cael effaith andwyol ar yr hyn rydym ni eisoes wedi ei ddatblygu.
