English: Thank you, Minister. Following on from Jenny Rathbone's comment about school inspections, I believe school inspections are vital to ensure that the delivery of high standards of education is available across Wales. However, figures obtained under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 show that 189 schools were last inspected between seven and 10 years ago, and a further 417 schools were inspected between five and seven years ago. One school in Wales was inspected over 10 years ago, Minister. These figures show school inspections were lacking long before coronavirus hit, which means hundreds of schools across the country could have been underperforming for years. What action will the Minister now be taking in light of these figures to ensure that schools are properly inspected and that youngsters and young people are getting the education that they deserve? Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch, Weinidog. Yn dilyn sylw Jenny Rathbone am arolygiadau ysgolion, credaf fod arolygiadau ysgolion yn hanfodol i sicrhau bod darpariaeth addysg o safon uchel ar gael ledled Cymru. Fodd bynnag, mae ffigurau a gafwyd o dan Ddeddf Rhyddid Gwybodaeth 2000 yn dangos bod 189 o ysgolion wedi cael eu harolygu ddiwethaf rhwng saith a 10 mlynedd yn ôl, a 417 o ysgolion eraill wedi'u harolygu rhwng pump a saith mlynedd yn ôl. Arolygwyd un ysgol yng Nghymru dros 10 mlynedd yn ôl, Weinidog. Mae'r ffigurau hyn yn dangos bod arolygiadau ysgolion yn annigonol ymhell cyn y coronafeirws, sy'n golygu y gallai cannoedd o ysgolion ledled y wlad fod wedi bod yn tangyflawni ers blynyddoedd. Pa gamau y bydd y Gweinidog yn eu cymryd yn awr yng ngoleuni'r ffigurau hyn i sicrhau bod ysgolion yn cael eu harolygu'n iawn a bod pobl ifanc yn cael yr addysg y maent yn ei haeddu? Diolch.
English: Well, I think I agree with the Member's point about how important it is to make sure schools are inspected regularly in order to provide us with information around school accountability more broadly. As she knows, in future, under the new curriculum, inspection will happen on a much more regular basis. At the moment, as she knows, Estyn has suspended its core inspection programme for this term, recognising the challenges that schools have been grappling with over the last 12 to 18 months. During spring term next year, Estyn is going to be starting to pilot its new inspection regime with schools who participate in that. So, that will provide a different basis, going forward, for that inspection regime. But I absolutely echo the point that she made about how important that is, as part of our accountability process overall.
Welsh: Wel, credaf fy mod yn cytuno â phwynt yr Aelod ynghylch pa mor bwysig yw sicrhau bod ysgolion yn cael eu harolygu'n rheolaidd er mwyn darparu gwybodaeth i ni am atebolrwydd ysgolion yn ehangach. Fel y gŵyr, yn y dyfodol, o dan y cwricwlwm newydd, cynhelir arolygiadau'n llawer mwy rheolaidd. Ar hyn o bryd, fel y gŵyr, mae Estyn wedi atal eu rhaglen arolygu graidd ar gyfer y tymor hwn, i gydnabod yr heriau y mae ysgolion wedi eu hwynebu dros y 12 i 18 mis diwethaf. Yn ystod tymor y gwanwyn y flwyddyn nesaf, bydd Estyn yn dechrau treialu eu trefn arolygu newydd gydag ysgolion sy'n cymryd rhan yn y cynllun peilot hwnnw. Felly, bydd hynny'n darparu sylfaen wahanol, wrth symud ymlaen, ar gyfer y drefn arolygu honno. Ond yn sicr, rwy'n ategu'r pwynt a wnaeth am bwysigrwydd hynny fel rhan o'n proses atebolrwydd yn gyffredinol.
English: Before we move on to further Senedd business, I want to touch on events on the Senedd estate last night. I want to reiterate to Members that threats to the safety and welfare of Members, our staff and, indeed, our visitors are totally unacceptable, and that too many of you faced threats of that kind last night from protestors. There is, of course, a place for non-violent protest - indeed, most of us have taken part in protests of that kind - but protest that threatens individuals' safety, be it here at the Senedd or anywhere else in Wales, is entirely unacceptable. The relevant authorities will be reviewing last night's events and I will be in a position to update Members in due course.
Welsh: Cyn inni symud ymlaen at fusnes y Senedd, hoffwn i gyfeirio at y digwyddiadau ar yr ystad neithiwr. Dwi eisiau cadarnhau wrth Aelodau fod bygythiadau i ddiogelwch a lles Aelodau, ein staff ni a'n hymwelwyr yn gwbl annerbyniol, a bod gormod ohonoch wedi profi bygythiadau o'r math neithiwr wrth rai protestwyr. Mae yna le, wrth gwrs, i brotest di-drais - mae'r rhan fwyaf ohonon ni wedi cymryd rhan mewn protest o'r fath - ond mae protest fygythiol i les unigolion naill ai yma yn y Senedd neu unrhyw le yng Nghymru yn gwbl annerbyniol. Mi fydd yr awdurdodau perthnasol yn adolygu'r digwyddiadau neithiwr ac mi fyddaf i mewn sefyllfa i ddiweddaru Aelodau maes o law.
English: And just as I'm on the subject of last night, I received a request from a Member to make a personal statement with regard to his absence from the vote last night. I received that request just before 1.30 p.m. today. I hadn't even had time to consider that request let alone agree to it when, just before 2.15 p.m., the content of that statement had been shared with the press and on Twitter. I consider that statement now in the public domain and that it no longer requires to be made to the Senedd. I'll take the opportunity, however, to reiterate to all Members that it is every individual Member's responsibility to ensure they are present early enough and in time to vote wherever you may be, and especially if voting from a location for the first time.
Welsh: A chan fy mod yn sôn am neithiwr, cefais gais gan Aelod i wneud datganiad personol mewn perthynas â'i absenoldeb o'r bleidlais neithiwr. Derbyniais y cais hwnnw ychydig cyn 1.30 p.m. heddiw. Nid oeddwn wedi cael amser i ystyried y cais hwnnw hyd yn oed, heb sôn am gytuno iddo, pan gafodd cynnwys y datganiad ei rannu gyda'r wasg ac ar Twitter ychydig cyn 2.15 p.m. Rwy'n ystyried y datganiad hwnnw'n wybodaeth gyhoeddus bellach ac nad oes angen ei wneud i'r Senedd mwyach. Rwyf am achub ar y cyfle, fodd bynnag, i ailadrodd wrth yr holl Aelodau mai cyfrifoldeb pob Aelod unigol yw sicrhau eu bod yn bresennol yn ddigon cynnar ac mewn pryd i bleidleisio lle bynnag y byddwch, ac yn enwedig os ydych yn pleidleisio o leoliad am y tro cyntaf.
English: I'll move on now to to the topical questions, and the only topical question is to be posed by Sioned Williams.
Welsh: Dwi'n symud ymlaen nawr i'r cwestiynau amserol, ac mae'r cwestiwn cyntaf - yr unig gwestiwn - gan Sioned Williams.
English: Well, diolch yn fawr, Sioned Williams. Thank you for this very important question. The UK Government has committed the greatest act of levelling down by cutting the £20 universal credit uplift, condemning hundreds of thousands of hard-working families to life on the poverty line. We shall not abandon families in Wales. Our discretionary assistance fund will help them keep their homes warm and children fed.
Welsh: Wel, diolch yn fawr, Sioned Williams. Diolch am eich cwestiwn pwysig iawn. Mae Llywodraeth y DU wedi cyflawni'r weithred waethaf o ostwng y gwastad drwy dorri'r ychwanegiad o £20 at y credyd cynhwysol, gan gondemnio cannoedd o filoedd o deuluoedd gweithgar i fyw ar ffin tlodi. Ni fyddwn yn cefnu ar deuluoedd yng Nghymru. Bydd ein cronfa cymorth dewisol yn eu helpu i gadw eu cartrefi'n gynnes a bwydo eu plant.
English: Thank you, Minister, and thank you, Llywydd, for accepting this important topical question.
Welsh: Diolch, Weinidog, a diolch, Llywydd, am dderbyn y cwestiwn amserol pwysig hwn.
English: In April 2020, as a one-year response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the universal credit standard allowance received a temporary uplift of £20 a week. In his March 2021 budget, the UK Chancellor announced an extension of this temporary uplift for a further six months, alongside other advances to universal credit. The temporary uplift was always time-limited and it is misleading to pretend otherwise. As the First Minister said yesterday in regard to an NHS pay rise, Government can't just magic money out of the air. The UK Government, which delivered a £407 billion COVID support package, including a £9 billion injection into our welfare system, and an additional £2.14 billion to the Welsh Government for 2021-22, is now focused on investing in jobs and skills as we bounce back from the pandemic. Further, as we heard, the UK Government has also announced a new £500 million household support fund available to help those most in need as we enter, hopefully, the final stages of recovery, which will support millions of households. Devolved Governments will receive £79 million of this, so how will the Welsh Government ensure that its full share of this money ends up helping those most in need in Wales?
Welsh: Ym mis Ebrill 2020, fel ymateb un flwyddyn i bandemig COVID-19, rhoddwyd ychwanegiad dros dro o £20 yr wythnos i lwfans safonol y credyd cynhwysol. Yn ei gyllideb ym mis Mawrth 2021, cyhoeddodd Canghellor y DU estyniad i'r ychwanegiad dros dro hwn am chwe mis arall, ochr yn ochr â thaliadau ymlaen llaw eraill o'r credyd cynhwysol. O'r cychwyn, roedd yr ychwanegiad dros dro am amser cyfyngedig ac mae'n gamarweiniol esgus fel arall. Fel y dywedodd y Prif Weinidog ddoe ynglŷn â chodiad cyflog i'r GIG, ni all y Llywodraeth hudo arian o'r gwynt. Mae Llywodraeth y DU, a gyflwynodd becyn cymorth COVID gwerth £407 biliwn, gan gynnwys chwistrelliad o £9 biliwn i'n system les, a £2.14 biliwn yn ychwanegol i Lywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2021-22, bellach yn canolbwyntio ar fuddsoddi mewn swyddi a sgiliau wrth inni ymadfer wedi'r pandemig. Yn ogystal â hyn, fel y clywsom, mae Llywodraeth y DU hefyd wedi cyhoeddi cronfa gymorth newydd gwerth £500 miliwn i aelwydydd sydd ar gael i helpu'r rhai mwyaf anghenus wrth inni wynebu camau olaf yr adferiad, gobeithio, a bydd hwnnw'n cefnogi miliynau o aelwydydd. Bydd y Llywodraethau datganoledig yn cael £79 miliwn ohono, felly sut y bydd Llywodraeth Cymru'n sicrhau bod ei chyfran lawn o'r arian hwn yn helpu'r rhai mwyaf anghenus yng Nghymru?
English: I am surprised that Mark Isherwood hasn't listened to my answers to the questions that have been put so powerfully by Sioned Williams this afternoon. I can perhaps remind him that, actually, it was Stephen Crabb, the Conservative MP, who actually pointed to the fact that the reality is that even if the £20 per week payment is maintained it will not make up for the income that our poorest households lost, because of severe cuts year on year to their benefit payments, introduced by years of welfare cuts - years of welfare cuts, Mark Isherwood. Stephen Crabb admitted that he was part of that team that pushed more workers into poverty. That is one of your colleagues in Westminster. Also, can I just point out the fact that I'm looking at north Wales and Aberconwy, just one constituency, where 4,750 households are claiming universal credit, of which 45 per cent are working? There'll be 2,756 children in households that will lose that £20 per week. You are someone, Mark, who always stands up and always speaks in support of the third sector in your community. Are you listening to them in north Wales?
Welsh: Rwy'n synnu nad yw Mark Isherwood wedi gwrando ar fy atebion i'r cwestiynau a ofynnwyd mor bwerus gan Sioned Williams y prynhawn yma. Gallaf ei atgoffa, efallai, mai Stephen Crabb, yr Aelod Seneddol Ceidwadol, a nododd mai'r gwir amdani yw, hyd yn oed pe cedwir y taliad o £20 yr wythnos, na fyddai hynny'n gwneud iawn am yr incwm y mae ein haelwydydd tlotaf wedi'i golli, oherwydd y toriadau difrifol flwyddyn ar ôl blwyddyn i'w budd-daliadau, a gyflwynwyd gan flynyddoedd o doriadau lles - blynyddoedd o doriadau lles, Mark Isherwood. Cyfaddefodd Stephen Crabb ei fod yn rhan o'r tîm hwnnw a wthiodd fwy o weithwyr i mewn i dlodi. Mae'n un o'ch cyd-Geidwadwyr yn San Steffan. Hefyd, a gaf fi dynnu sylw at y ffaith fy mod yn edrych ar ogledd Cymru ac Aberconwy, un etholaeth yn unig, lle mae 4,750 o aelwydydd yn hawlio credyd cynhwysol, a 45 y cant ohonynt yn gweithio? Bydd 2,756 o blant mewn aelwydydd a fydd yn colli'r £20 yr wythnos hwnnw. Mark, rydych chi bob amser yn siarad o blaid ac yn dadlau dros y trydydd sector yn eich cymuned. A ydych chi'n gwrando arnynt yng ngogledd Cymru?
English: I thank the Member for putting this question forward, because it's really, really important, and this is happening today, now, to families. It is, as the Minister said, the largest single benefit cut since 1945 - one of the largest ever, in fact. After more than 10 years of Tory cuts - [ Interruption.] I've only just started. And you can't make an intervention anyway.
Welsh: Diolch i'r Aelod am gyflwyno'r cwestiwn, gan ei fod yn bwysig tu hwnt ac mae hyn yn digwydd heddiw, yn awr, i deuluoedd. Fel y dywedodd y Gweinidog, dyma'r toriad mwyaf i fudd-daliadau ers 1945 - un o'r rhai mwyaf erioed, a dweud y gwir. Ar ôl mwy na 10 mlynedd o doriadau Torïaidd - [ Torri ar draws.] Newydd ddechrau ydw i. Ac ni chewch wneud ymyriad beth bynnag.
English: Janet Finch-Saunders, if you wish to ask a question, put a request in.
Welsh: Janet Finch-Saunders, os ydych am ofyn cwestiwn, rhowch gais i mewn.
English: Yes, please do - after more than 10 years of Tory cuts, when workers are already facing choices between eating and heating. I read the letter from the devolved administrations to the Prime Minister asking him to reverse that decision. I know he's been busy cracking jokes in Manchester, but has he actually bothered to reply to that letter? Because those families that he is making poorer today deserve answers, and not a clown routine. I heard Mark Isherwood say that Governments can't magic money. Well, I'd like him to consider how people are going to magic food on their table and money to put in their gas meters, because that's what we're really talking about here today.
Welsh: Ie, gwnewch hynny a chroeso - ar ôl mwy na 10 mlynedd o doriadau Torïaidd, pan fo gweithwyr eisoes yn wynebu gorfod dewis rhwng bwyta a gwresogi. Darllenais y llythyr gan y gweinyddiaethau datganoledig at Brif Weinidog y DU yn gofyn iddo wrthdroi'r penderfyniad hwnnw. Gwn ei fod wedi bod yn brysur yn dweud jôcs ym Manceinion, ond a yw wedi trafferthu ymateb i'r llythyr hwnnw? Oherwydd mae'r teuluoedd y mae'n eu gwneud yn dlotach heddiw yn haeddu atebion, ac nid perfformiad gan glown. Clywais Mark Isherwood yn dweud na all Llywodraethau hudo arian o'r awyr. Wel, hoffwn pe bai'n ystyried sut y mae pobl yn mynd i hudo bwyd ar eu bwrdd ac arian i'w roi yn eu mesuryddion nwy, gan mai dyna rydym yn sôn amdano yma heddiw mewn gwirionedd.
English: Diolch yn fawr, Joyce Watson. I have responded to many of the important and valid points that you've made. I think it is important to recognise this joint letter that went from the First Minister of Scotland, the First Minister of Wales and the First Minister and deputy First Minister of Northern Ireland to Boris Johnson, calling on him, urging him, not to proceed with this completely unnecessary cut. In that letter, they say that 'this will increase poverty and hardship without delivering any tangible social or economic benefits. The UN Special Rapporteur on Extreme Poverty and Human Rights said - when calling upon you to reverse this cut - that for a healthy and well-qualified workforce to emerge, your Government must provide adequate levels of social protection. Years of a freeze on benefits means Universal Credit has not kept pace with rising living costs.' And, of course, as I said, the £500 million fund that's been handed out on a discretionary basis is wholly inadequate to making up the £6 billion shortfall in social security expenditure that will result from this cut.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr, Joyce Watson. Rwyf wedi ymateb i lawer o'r pwyntiau pwysig a dilys a wnaethoch. Credaf ei bod yn bwysig cydnabod y llythyr hwn a anfonwyd ar y cyd gan Brif Weinidog yr Alban, Prif Weinidog Cymru a Phrif Weinidog a dirprwy Brif Weinidog Gogledd Iwerddon at Boris Johnson, yn galw arno, yn ei annog, i beidio â bwrw ymlaen â'r toriad cwbl ddiangen hwn. Yn y llythyr hwnnw, maent yn dweud 'bydd hyn yn cynyddu tlodi a chaledi heb sicrhau unrhyw fuddion cymdeithasol neu economaidd gwirioneddol. Dywedodd Rapporteur Arbennig y Cenhedloedd Unedig ar Dlodi Eithafol a Hawliau Dynol - wrth alw arnoch i wrthdroi'r toriad hwn - er mwyn sicrhau gweithlu iach a chymwys, fod yn rhaid i'ch Llywodraeth ddarparu lefelau digonol o ddiogelwch cymdeithasol. Mae blynyddoedd o rewi budd-daliadau yn golygu nad yw Credyd Cynhwysol wedi codi i'r un graddau â chostau byw cynyddol.' Ac wrth gwrs, fel y dywedais, mae'r gronfa £500 miliwn a ddosbarthwyd ar sail ddewisol yn gwbl annigonol i wneud iawn am y diffyg o £6 biliwn mewn gwariant nawdd cymdeithasol a fydd yn deillio o'r toriad hwn.
English: It's absolutely clear that the UK Government is just turning a deaf ear even to the pleas from people within their own party and former Secretaries of State for Work and Pensions. So, I think we have to fall back on what we can do. Obviously, the increase in the discretionary assistance fund is very welcome, but I just wondered what conversations you might be able to have with your colleagues in the climate change ministry about how we could accelerate the retrofitting of social housing. Because, obviously, that is where a very large number of universal credit recipients are living, and they are therefore going to be £20 a week worse off. Also, what can we do to somehow rectify the total imbalance in the food that's rotting on the trees and is about to be culled in grotesque images on the farms, simply because we cannot get the right skills to rectify the problems that we have with our food security? So, what can we do to ensure that food that's currently not being collected reaches the people who most need it?
Welsh: Mae'n gwbl amlwg fod Llywodraeth y DU yn troi clust fyddar hyd yn oed i apeliadau pobl o'u plaid eu hunain a chyn Ysgrifenyddion Gwladol dros Waith a Phensiynau. Felly, credaf fod yn rhaid inni ddibynnu ar yr hyn y gallwn ei wneud ein hunain. Yn amlwg, mae croeso mawr i'r cynnydd yn y gronfa cymorth dewisol, ond tybed pa sgyrsiau y gallech eu cael gyda'ch cyd-Aelodau yn y weinyddiaeth newid hinsawdd ynglŷn â sut y gallem gyflymu'r gwaith o ôl-osod tai cymdeithasol. Oherwydd yn amlwg, dyna lle mae nifer fawr iawn o'r rhai sy'n derbyn credyd cynhwysol yn byw, ac felly maent yn mynd i fod £20 yr wythnos yn waeth eu byd. Hefyd, beth y gallwn ei wneud i unioni, rywsut, yr anghydbwysedd llwyr yn y bwyd sy'n pydru ar goed ac ar fin cael ei ddifa mewn lluniau gwrthun ar y ffermydd am y rheswm syml na allwn gael y sgiliau cywir i unioni'r problemau sydd gennym gyda diogelwch ein cyflenwad bwyd? Felly, beth y gallwn ei wneud i sicrhau bod bwyd nad yw'n cael ei gasglu ar hyn o bryd yn cyrraedd y bobl sydd ei angen fwyaf?
English: I thank Jenny Rathbone for that important question. We've got £25 million allocated - as I said, a derisory amount - to Wales. What I have sought to do - . As soon as we heard about that allocation, I've gone across the whole of the Welsh Government to say, 'What is it?' It's a one-off sum of money; it's not recurrent. It's a one-off sum of money, which is the hardest to spend sustainably. So, all Ministers are responding in terms of how they think we can most effectively use that funding, and, of course, I'm sure that your points today will be very valuable for the Minister for Climate Change.
Welsh: Diolch i Jenny Rathbone am ei chwestiwn pwysig. Mae gennym £25 miliwn wedi'i ddyrannu - fel y dywedais, swm gwarthus - i Gymru. Yr hyn y ceisiais ei wneud - . Cyn gynted ag y clywsom am y dyraniad hwnnw, rwyf wedi gofyn i bawb yn Llywodraeth Cymru, 'Beth ydyw?' Mae'n swm untro o arian; nid yw'n rheolaidd. Mae'n swm untro o arian, sef yr anoddaf i'w wario mewn modd cynaliadwy. Felly, mae pob Gweinidog yn ymateb o ran sut y credant y gallwn ddefnyddio'r cyllid hwnnw yn y ffordd fwyaf effeithiol, ac wrth gwrs, rwy'n siŵr y bydd eich pwyntiau heddiw'n werthfawr iawn i'r Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd.
English: Diolch, Llywydd. The Morriston Orpheus choir's musical director, Joy Amman Davies, has retired this year after 30 years of service with the choir. The quality of singing of the Morriston Orpheus choir is well known throughout the world. Joy was born in Glanamman and won a scholarship to have piano tuition at the Welsh College of Music and Drama before entering Bangor University. Joy joined Morriston Orpheus as an accompanist in 1991, and then in 2007 became the choir's musical director. She has travelled with the choir extensively, to venues such as Carnegie Hall in New York and the Sydney Opera House. As well as the Morriston Orpheus choir, she has been a guest accompanist to other choirs and accompanied many famous Welsh singers. During the COVID pandemic, Joy hasn't stopped, working as hard as ever, running online rehearsals twice a week, and recording songs virtually, which have been viewed by over 0.25 million people online. Her love for the choir and the choristers' love for her are most obvious, and she will be deeply and sorely missed by both the choristers and those of us who are regular attendees at Morriston Orpheus concerts. I want to say thank you to Joy publicly. Thank you for your commitment, your dedication and your love of music. I do not think there's a better sound than hearing Morriston Orpheus singing 'Myfanwy'.
Welsh: Diolch, Lywydd. Mae cyfarwyddwr cerdd côr Orpheus Treforys, Joy Amman Davies, wedi ymddeol eleni ar ôl 30 mlynedd o wasanaeth gyda'r côr. Mae safon canu côr Orpheus Treforys yn fyd-enwog. Ganed Joy yng Nglanaman ac enillodd ysgoloriaeth i gael hyfforddiant piano yng Ngholeg Cerdd a Drama Cymru cyn mynychu Prifysgol Bangor. Ymunodd Joy â chôr Orpheus Treforys fel cyfeilydd ym 1991, ac yna yn 2007, daeth yn gyfarwyddwr cerdd y côr. Mae hi wedi gwneud cryn dipyn o deithio gyda'r côr, i leoliadau fel Neuadd Carnegie yn Efrog Newydd a Thŷ Opera Sydney. Yn ogystal â chôr Orpheus Treforys, mae hi wedi bod yn gyfeilydd gwadd i gorau eraill ac wedi cyfeilio i lawer o gantorion enwog o Gymru. Yn ystod y pandemig COVID, nid yw Joy wedi stopio, gan weithio mor galed ag erioed, a chynnal ymarferion ar-lein ddwywaith yr wythnos, a recordio caneuon yn rhithwir, gan ddenu dros 0.25 miliwn o wylwyr ar-lein. Mae ei chariad at y côr a chariad y côr tuag ati hithau yn amlwg iawn, a bydd y cantorion a'r rhai ohonom sy'n mynychu cyngherddau côr Orpheus Treforys yn rheolaidd yn ei gweld hi'n chwith iawn ar ei hôl. Hoffwn ddiolch i Joy yn gyhoeddus. Diolch am eich ymrwymiad, eich ymroddiad a'ch cariad at gerddoriaeth. Ni chredaf fod sŵn gwell i'w gael na chlywed côr Orpheus Treforys yn canu 'Myfanwy'.
