English: I'm also grateful to the Cabinet Secretary for her statement. She says she hopes to work with parties across the Chamber, at least ones she deemed to have in-depth knowledge of the sector. She also said she welcomed the consensus that greeted the principles of Professor Diamond's report. I'd like to just then start on two areas where I was very pleased to hear what she said just now. I think, with part-time students, the parity of esteem and support is, indeed, as she said, unparalleled, and, in principle, I can't see the arguments the other way. And the fact that this will only happen in Wales, but not anywhere else, is something I think we can all rightly be proud of. Second, in my party we had something in our manifesto where we proposed a £6 million bursary fund for the best and brightest students in Wales to qualify and have support at the best institutions across the globe, not just in the UK. So, to hear her speak, at least possibly, of support being available for people who might go to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology or the California Institute of Technology, for example, was, I think, very, very encouraging, and I credit her for that. Where we I think have potential difficulty, at least, with the principles set out with the Diamond report - or, at least, how they may be implemented - was when we discussed universalism within a progressive system. We're concerned, potentially, that that means large amounts of money being given to students from well-off families, when, across Wales, there are greater needs from people who are less well-off and don't go to university. But compared to the previous statement she made, where Diamond had said £80,000 or £81,000 would be the amount that people could get money up to - we thought that was extraordinarily high, and I detected some discomfort on the Labour benches in parts as well. And when you are giving what you describe as a means-tested grant, all the way up the income scale to £80,000 or £81,000, I think that becomes very difficult to justify, so it's extremely welcome that she's reduced that upper threshold to £59,200. I thought Darren Millar's comments were quite revealing on this. He seemed unhappy with that reduction, and described this band of families earning between £60,000 and £80,000 as the squeezed middle. I think the definition of other parties in the Assembly of the squeezed middle may be a little different. [Interruption.] Sorry, there were a number of interventions there, which I haven't quite caught -
Welsh: Rwyf hefyd yn ddiolchgar i Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet am ei datganiad. Mae hi'n dweud ei bod hi'n gobeithio gweithio gyda phartïon ar draws y Siambr, o leiaf y rhai y mae hi yn barnu bod ganddynt wybodaeth fanwl o'r sector. Dywedodd hefyd ei bod yn croesawu'r consensws i egwyddorion adroddiad yr Athro Diamond. Hoffwn i ddechrau gyda dau faes yr oeddwn i'n falch iawn o'i chlywed yn sôn amdanynt gynnau. Rwy'n meddwl, gyda myfyrwyr rhan-amser, mae'r parch a'r gefnogaeth gydradd, yn wir, fel y dywedodd hi, heb ei ail, ac, mewn egwyddor, ni allaf weld y dadleuon y ffordd arall. Ac mae'r ffaith na fydd hyn yn digwydd yn unman heblaw am Gymru, yn rhywbeth yr wyf yn meddwl y gallwn ni i gyd fod yn falch iawn ohono. Yn ail, yn fy mhlaid i, roedd gennym rywbeth yn ein maniffesto lle'r oeddem yn cynnig cronfa fwrsariaeth gwerth £6 miliwn ar gyfer y myfyrwyr gorau a mwyaf galluog yng Nghymru i gymhwyso a chael cymorth yn y sefydliadau gorau ar draws y byd, nid dim ond yn y DU. Felly, roedd ei chlywed hi'n sôn, o leiaf o bosibl, am gefnogaeth a fyddai ar gael i bobl a allai fynd i Sefydliad Technoleg Massachusetts neu Sefydliad Technoleg Califfornia, er enghraifft, yn fy marn i, yn galonogol iawn, iawn, ac rwy'n ei chanmol am hynny. Rwy'n credu mai'r hyn y mae gennym anhawster ag ef o bosibl, o leiaf, o ran yr egwyddorion a nodwyd yn adroddiad Diamond - neu, o leiaf, sut y gellir eu gweithredu - oedd pan fuom yn trafod cyffredinoliaeth o fewn system flaengar. Rydym yn bryderus, o bosibl, fod hynny'n golygu symiau mawr o arian yn cael eu rhoi i fyfyrwyr o deuluoedd cefnog, pan, ledled Cymru, mae mwy o angen ar bobl lai cefnog ac nad ydynt yn mynd i'r brifysgol. Ond o'i gymharu â'r datganiad blaenorol a wnaeth hi, pan oedd Diamond wedi dweud y gallai bobl gael arian pe byddai'r incwm yn swm o hyd at £80,000 neu £81,000 - roeddem ni o'r farn bod hynny'n arbennig o uchel, ac roeddwn yn synhwyro ychydig o anesmwythder ar feinciau Llafur mewn mannau hefyd. A phan fyddwch chi'n rhoi yr hyn yr ydych yn ei ddisgrifio yn grant prawf modd, yr holl ffordd i fyny'r raddfa incwm i £80,000 neu £81,000, credaf fod hynny'n mynd yn anodd iawn i'w gyfiawnhau, felly rwy'n croesawu'r ffaith ei bod hi wedi gostwng y trothwy uchaf i £59,200. Roeddwn i'n meddwl bod sylwadau Darren Millar yn eithaf dadlennol ar hyn. Roedd yn ymddangos ei fod yn anhapus â'r gostyngiad hwnnw, a disgrifiodd y band hwn o deuluoedd sy'n ennill rhwng £60,000 a £80,000 fel y canol sy'n ei chael yn anodd yn ariannol. Rwy'n credu y bydd diffiniad y pleidiau eraill yn y Cynulliad o'r canol sy'n ei chael yn anodd yn ariannol ychydig yn wahanol. [Torri ar draws.] Mae'n ddrwg gennyf, roedd nifer o ymyriadau yno, ac nid wyf wedi dal -
