English: Leader of the house, I notice there are several new statements appearing on the order paper this afternoon, and I fully appreciate there's a pressure on time. I've raised the issue in spokespersons' questions with the rural affairs Minister, and I appreciate there's something slated for next week statement-wise, but I'd appreciate some form of written statement this week if possible, given the time constraints that many farmers face when it comes to TB testing, for example. You only need to look around this Chamber at how many absences there are today, and if vets aren't available, and other helpers involved with those types of testings, then obviously that puts animal health herd status into jeopardy. These are force majeure events that we are dealing with at the moment. And also the provision of feedstocks as well and also the application for the single farm payment window, which is open now and concludes the middle of May, and farm inspections. This isn't a criticism I am making - it's an observation that I think would be greatly received if there could be clarification about what exactly will be expected of farmers and animal keepers here in Wales, given the extraordinary circumstances we find ourselves in and the unpredictable nature. As things stand at the moment, the law doesn't allow for any tolerance - a zero-tolerance approach when it comes to bovine TB testing, for example - and some clarity, certainly this week, would be gratefully received. If we could have that in written statement form from the Minister, I think that would be greatly appreciated.
Welsh: Arweinydd y tŷ, rwy'n sylwi bod nifer o ddatganiadau newydd yn ymddangos ar y papur trefn y prynhawn yma, ac rwy'n deall yn iawn bod pwysau ar amser. Rwyf wedi codi'r mater yng nghwestiynau'r llefarwyr gyda'r Gweinidog materion gwledig, ac rwy'n gwerthfawrogi bod rhywbeth wedi ei nodi ar gyfer datganiad yr wythnos nesaf, ond byddwn i'n gwerthfawrogi rhyw fath o ddatganiad ysgrifenedig yr wythnos hon os yw'n bosibl, o gofio'r cyfyngiadau amser y mae llawer o ffermwyr yn ei hwynebu o ran mater profion TB, er enghraifft. Does dim ond angen i chi edrych o gwmpas y Siambr hon ar faint o absenoldebau sydd yma heddiw, ac os nad yw milfeddygon ar gael, a chynorthwywyr eraill sy'n ymwneud â'r mathau hynny o brofion, yna'n amlwg mae hynny'n peryglu statws gyrroedd anifeiliaid o ran iechyd. Mae'r rhain yn ddigwyddiadau enfawr yr ydym ni'n ymdrin â hwy ar hyn o bryd. A hefyd darpariaeth porthiant yn ogystal â'r cais ar gyfer y cyfnod taliad sengl, sydd ar agor nawr ac yn dod i ben ganol fis Mai, ac archwiliadau fferm. Nid beirniadaeth yw hon yr wyf i'n ei gwneud - sylw ydyw a fyddai'n cael croeso mawr yn fy marn i pe byddai modd cael eglurhad ynghylch beth yn union sydd i'w ddisgwyl gan ffermwyr a cheidwaid anifeiliaid yma yng Nghymru, o ystyried yr amgylchiadau eithriadol yr ydym ni'n canfod ein hunain ynddynt a'r natur na ellir ei ddarogan. Fel y mae pethau ar hyn o bryd, nid yw'r gyfraith yn caniatáu unrhyw oddefgarwch - mae dull gweithredu dim goddefgarwch o ran profion TB buchol, er enghraifft - a byddai rhywfaint o eglurder, yn sicr yr wythnos hon, i'w groesawu. Pe byddai modd i ni gael hynny ar ffurf datganiad ysgrifenedig gan y Gweinidog, rwy'n credu y byddai hynny'n cael ei werthfawrogi'n fawr.
