English: Well, Llywydd, I don't think the spirit of Christmas entirely entered into the Member's question, because I think the extra support for childcare providers has been welcomed by that sector, and it's consistent with this Government's policy of being able to provide an extended level of childcare support for working parents. The extra money for local authorities is to help them to go on using their discretionary powers. We know their budgets are under pressure, and some of the areas where they have discretion to offer relief have come under pressure as a result. That extra money will allow local authorities to go on providing targeted relief to support local businesses, where that help is most needed. I think I ought to have mentioned as well, Llywydd, that, in the announcement, I also made it clear that I have decided to use the money that has come to Wales in the budget to change the way in which the annual uplift in which business rates are calculated in Wales - to move it from retail prices index to consumer prices index. That by itself will be worth £9 million to businesses in Wales next year, and £22 million to businesses in the year after, and that's a very substantial additional support to businesses here in Wales. On the general point that Mr Hamilton raises, however, I'm happy to say that we are already committed to a more fundamental look at the way in which taxes are raised in this area. Whether we will be able to do it in a way that links ability to pay to taxes paid is something that we will look at. But land value taxation, which it is often argued that, in a practical way, you would be best to try and introduce it in the field of non-domestic rates, rather than trying to do it in domestic rates, in the first instance - we're certainly committed to research that will look at the practical issues that will have to be addressed, if that way of raising money were preferable to the system we have currently.
Welsh: Wel, Lywydd, nid wyf yn credu bod llawer o ysbryd y Nadolig yng nghwestiwn yr Aelod, oherwydd credaf fod y cymorth ychwanegol ar gyfer darparwyr gofal plant wedi'i groesawu gan y sector hwnnw, ac mae'n gyson â pholisi'r Llywodraeth hon o allu darparu lefel estynedig o gymorth gofal plant i rieni sy'n gweithio. Rhoddir yr arian ychwanegol i awdurdodau lleol er mwyn eu helpu i barhau i ddefnyddio eu pwerau disgresiwn. Rydym yn gwybod bod eu cyllidebau o dan bwysau, ac mae rhai o'r meysydd lle mae ganddynt ddisgresiwn i gynnig rhyddhad wedi dod o dan bwysau o ganlyniad i hynny. Bydd yr arian ychwanegol hwnnw yn galluogi awdurdodau lleol i barhau i ddarparu rhyddhad wedi'i dargedu i gefnogi busnesau lleol, lle mae angen y cymorth hwnnw fwyaf. Credaf y dylwn fod wedi crybwyll hefyd, Lywydd, fy mod, yn y cyhoeddiad, wedi'i gwneud yn glir fy mod wedi penderfynu defnyddio'r arian sydd wedi dod i Gymru yn y gyllideb i newid y ffordd y caiff trethi busnes eu cyfrifo yng Nghymru drwy'r cynnydd blynyddol - ei symud o'r mynegai prisiau manwerthu i fynegai prisiau defnyddwyr. Bydd hynny ynddo'i hun yn werth £9 miliwn i fusnesau yng Nghymru y flwyddyn nesaf, a £22 miliwn i fusnesau yn y flwyddyn wedyn, ac mae hwnnw'n gymorth ychwanegol sylweddol iawn i fusnesau yma yng Nghymru. O ran y pwynt cyffredinol y mae Mr Hamilton yn ei godi, fodd bynnag, rwy'n falch o ddweud ein bod eisoes wedi ymrwymo i fwrw golwg mwy sylfaenol ar y dull o godi trethi yn y maes hwn. Mae pa un a fyddwn yn gallu ei wneud mewn ffordd sy'n cysylltu'r gallu i dalu â threthi a delir yn rhywbeth y byddwn yn edrych arno. Ond o ran trethiant gwerth tir, dadleuir yn aml y byddai'n well i chi, yn ymarferol, geisio ei gyflwyno ym maes ardrethi annomestig, yn hytrach na cheisio ei wneud ym maes ardrethi domestig, yn y lle cyntaf - rydym yn bendant wedi ymrwymo i ymchwil a fydd yn edrych ar y materion ymarferol y bydd yn rhaid mynd i'r afael â hwy, pe bai'r ffordd honno o godi arian yn well na'r system sydd gennym ar hyn o bryd.
