English: Can I start by thanking Mark Isherwood for sharing his own family stories of Mack, who flew a glider in the second world war? There are so many tales of tremendous bravery in service that I'm sure that we're all able to share ourselves now as we reflect and remember and also learn from the past. I'll do my best to try and address a number of the questions that the Member raised. Just to start with the final point with regard to priority access in terms of housing allocation and homelessness, as I referred to in the statement, there is currently an independent review of priority need in housing, which is due to report back in April next year. And, of course, the impact on veterans and the work of our scoping exercise will be a part of that as well. Alongside the talk of transition, the scoping exercise has picked up that there is support there and it's about the signposting as well and making sure that people are aware of this support, but also, actually, the scoping exercise does highlight transition as one of those areas where we might need to look to see how we can, perhaps, plug some of those gaps. So, I hope, possibly, early in the new year, to be in a position to further update Members on that and the work that the armed forces expert group is now taking forward in order for us to be able to deliver on that. You raised a very significant point in terms of older veterans in particular, and perhaps the complex needs that they may have. It was my pleasure to be part of the Age Cymru Project 360 and to contribute to that, as well as speak at their conference - to work collaboratively with them and other partners to ensure that, as we move forward, we make sure we are providing the necessary support and assistance for all of our veterans and particularly people as they get older as well. In respect to another issue, the application of council tax reduction was raised in this Chamber by a colleague of yours last week in business questions, and it's certainly something that I and the Minister for Housing and Local Government can take forward with colleagues in local authorities to ensure that people are being made aware of these reductions and they are being applied where they should be applied as well. In terms of the question on PLASC, I'm working closely with officials across Government, both in the DES department and with the Minister for Education, with regard to actually taking forward that recommendation. We recognise that having that data would be incredibly beneficial in order to support service children in education and that work is ongoing. I hope to be in a position to update Members shortly.
Welsh: A gaf i ddechrau drwy ddiolch i Mark Isherwood am rannu hanesion ei deulu ef ei hunan am Mack, a fu'n hedfan gleider yn yr ail ryfel byd? Ceir cymaint o hanesion am ddewrder aruthrol yn y lluoedd arfog ac rwy'n siŵr y byddem ni i gyd yn gallu eu rhannu nawr ein hunain wrth inni fyfyrio a chofio a dysgu o'r gorffennol hefyd. Byddaf yn gwneud fy ngorau i geisio mynd i'r afael â nifer o'r cwestiynau a godwyd gan yr Aelod. I ddechrau gyda'r pwynt olaf ynglŷn â mynediad blaenoriaethol o ran dyrannu tai a digartrefedd, fel y cyfeiriais ato yn y datganiad, ceir adolygiad annibynnol ar hyn o bryd o angen blaenoriaethol ym maes tai, y disgwylir iddo adrodd yn ôl ym mis Ebrill y flwyddyn nesaf. Ac, wrth gwrs, bydd yr effaith ar gyn-filwyr a gwaith ein hymarfer cwmpasu ni'n rhan o hynny hefyd. Ynghyd â'r sôn am bontio, mae'r ymarfer cwmpasu wedi canfod bod cefnogaeth ar gael ac mae hynny'n ymwneud â chyfeirio hefyd a sicrhau bod pobl yn ymwybodol o'r cymorth hwn. Ond hefyd, mewn gwirionedd, mae'r ymarfer cwmpasu yn dangos bod pontio'n un o'r meysydd hynny lle y gallai fod angen inni ystyried sut y gallwn, o bosib, lenwi rhai o'r bylchau hynny. Felly, rwy'n gobeithio, yn gynnar yn y flwyddyn newydd, fod mewn sefyllfa i roi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i'r Aelodau am hynny yn ogystal â'r gwaith y mae grŵp arbenigol y lluoedd arfog yn ei wneud nawr er mwyn inni allu cyflawni hynny. Fe wnaethoch chi godi pwynt pwysig iawn o ran cyn-filwyr hŷn yn benodol, a'r anghenion cymhleth a allai fod ganddyn nhw. Roedd yn bleser gennyf fod yn rhan o Brosiect 360 Age Cymru a chyfrannu at hwnnw, yn ogystal â siarad yn eu cynhadledd - i gydweithio gyda nhw a phartneriaid eraill i sicrhau, wrth inni symud ymlaen, ein bod yn rhoi'r gefnogaeth angenrheidiol a'r cymorth i bob un o'n cyn-filwyr ac yn enwedig i bobl wrth iddyn nhw heneiddio hefyd. Gyda golwg ar fater arall, codwyd mater y gostyngiad yn y dreth gyngor yn y Siambr hon gan un o'ch cyd-Aelodau yr wythnos diwethaf yn y cwestiynau busnes. Mae hyn yn sicr yn rhywbeth y gallaf i a'r Gweinidog Tai a Llywodraeth Leol fwrw ymlaen ag ef gyda chydweithwyr mewn awdurdodau lleol i sicrhau bod pobl yn cael gwybod am y gostyngiadau hyn a'u bod nhw'n cael eu rhoi lle dylen nhw gael eu rhoi hefyd. O ran y cwestiwn ynglŷn â CYBLD, rwy'n gweithio'n agos gyda swyddogion ar draws y Llywodraeth, yn yr adran Addysg a chyda'r Gweinidog Addysg, i roi sylw i'r argymhelliad hwn. Rydym yn cydnabod y byddai cael y data hynny o fudd aruthrol i gefnogi plant y lluoedd mewn addysg ac mae'r gwaith hwn yn mynd rhagddo. Rwy'n gobeithio bod mewn sefyllfa i roi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i'r Aelodau cyn bo hir.
