English: I thank the Member for her observations. There are many issues. She raises again, as the local Member Dai Rees raised, the issue with regard to Ministry of Justice responses. Can I just say from my experience of HMP Berwyn that around 60 per cent of the employment in the development and construction was of local area personnel, so it was a big industrial boost for that particular area? In terms of prison reform, there is a Bill going through the Houses of Parliament. It's not for me to defend the UK administration, but I can say that modern prisons, where they are required under the reform agenda, are much better than our old antiquated prisons that we have scattered around the country. This is a much better way of minimising risk to our communities, also developing family liaison support for Welsh prisoners too, and making sure that we don't reoffend and end back up with the incarcerating element. On the issue around women's prisons, I absolutely agree that we should have a women's secure unit here for women in Wales. If that is the last point, of course, for incarceration, then I believe it is right and proper that we have facilities in Wales to deliver that. As both Members have alluded to, there are many questions that remain unanswered by the MOJ. It's very early stages. I would expect the MOJ, the local authority and the involvement of the Welsh Government to have a full engagement programme with the community. It is only right and proper that that happens. On your final point on land and land development, the land proposed is currently owned by Welsh Government, but that is not unique to any developer, in terms of private or public sector, where there is a look at the land base across Wales to see where developments may take place. This just happens to be a prison and it happens to be Welsh Government land. While this is a statement being made by the MOJ, it will have to go through the full planning process in order to gain momentum, if momentum at all.
Welsh: Diolch i'r Aelod am ei sylwadau. Mae llawer o faterion yn codi. Unwaith eto, mae'n crybwyll ymatebion y Weinyddiaeth Gyfiawnder, fel y crybwyllodd yr Aelod lleol, Dai Rees. A gaf fi ddweud, o fy mhrofiad o Garchar Berwyn, mai personél o'r ardal leol oedd tua 60 y cant o'r rhai a gyflogwyd i ddatblygu ac adeiladu'r carchar, felly roedd yn hwb diwydiannol mawr i'r ardal honno? O ran diwygio carchardai, mae Bil yn mynd drwy ddau Dŷ'r Senedd. Nid fy lle i yw amddiffyn gweinyddiaeth y DU, ond gallaf ddweud bod carchardai modern, lle y mae eu hangen o dan yr agenda ddiwygio, yn llawer gwell na'r hen garchardai hynafol sydd gennym wedi'u gwasgaru o amgylch y wlad. Mae hon yn ffordd lawer gwell o leihau'r risg i'n cymunedau, a datblygu cymorth cyswllt teulu hefyd ar gyfer carcharorion o Gymru, a gwneud yn siŵr nad ydym yn aildroseddu ac yn mynd yn ôl i'r carchar. Mewn perthynas â charchardai menywod, cytunaf yn llwyr y dylem gael uned ddiogel i fenywod yma yng Nghymru. Os mai dyna yw'r pwynt olaf, wrth gwrs, o ran carcharu, yna rwy'n credu ei bod yn gywir ac yn briodol fod gennym gyfleusterau yng Nghymru ar gyfer darparu hynny. Fel y mae'r ddau Aelod wedi dweud, mae llawer o gwestiynau sy'n parhau heb eu hateb gan y Weinyddiaeth Gyfiawnder. Mae'n ddyddiau cynnar iawn. Byddwn yn disgwyl i'r Weinyddiaeth Gyfiawnder, yr awdurdod lleol a chyfranogiad Llywodraeth Cymru gael rhaglen ymgysylltu lawn â'r gymuned. Nid yw ond yn iawn ac yn briodol fod hynny'n digwydd. O ran eich pwynt olaf ynglŷn â thir a datblygu tir, mae'r tir arfaethedig yn eiddo i Lywodraeth Cymru ar hyn o bryd, ond nid yw hynny'n unigryw i unrhyw ddatblygwr, o ran y sector preifat neu'r sector cyhoeddus, lle y ceir golwg ar y sylfaen tir ledled Cymru i weld ble y gallai datblygiadau ddigwydd. Mae hwn yn digwydd bod yn garchar, ac mae'n digwydd bod yn dir sy'n eiddo i Lywodraeth Cymru. Er bod hwn yn ddatganiad sy'n cael ei wneud gan y Weinyddiaeth Gyfiawnder, bydd yn rhaid iddo fynd drwy'r broses gynllunio lawn er mwyn ennill momentwm, os momentwm o gwbl.
