English: I thank the Member for what I take to be three main questions. In relation to contracts that the Welsh Government has, there is one contract - the contract in relation to the design phase of junctions 15 and 16 on the A55, which was awarded after the original warning about Carillion in July of next year. At the point that that warning was issued, the procurement process was paused, further assurances were sought from the company. Those assurances were received, and risks that might have been involved were mitigated. No other contract has been awarded since July of last year. As far as Abellio is concerned and the franchise arrangements there, I think there are a number of points that I should make. First of all, directly in answer to Adam Price's question, Transport for Wales, having seen the developments in July and during the autumn, have been involved in making sure that the necessary financial underpinning of bids is reliable, and they have been in discussions with Abellio on that basis. In the immediate aftermath of events earlier this week, the Cabinet Secretary has taken legal advice so that we are clear as to whether there are any impacts from these developments for the franchise process. The company itself is taking action to make sure that it is in a position to go forward with a bid, if it chooses that course of action. And the Welsh Government remains committed to a final outcome in the tender process that leads to the improvement in services that people in Wales wish to see secured. The third question that the Member raises is the broadest one, of course. He will have seen, I'm sure, a piece in the Financial Times today called 'The Problem of Bigness', in which the author teases out the difficulties that occur for public contracting organisations in a market where there has been radical consolidation and the number of players in the field doesn't necessarily give rise to genuine competition. So, that inevitably does come to the fore in the Carillion experience, and he is right to point to the fact that all public authorities that are involved in securing necessary services through going out to contract will want to review this experience, learn the lessons from it and make sure that public funds are not exposed unnecessarily in the future.
Welsh: Diolch i'r Aelod am yr hyn yr wyf i'n ei ystyried yn dri phrif gwestiwn. O ran contractau sydd gan Lywodraeth Cymru, mae un contract - y contract sy'n gysylltiedig â cham dylunio cyffyrdd 15 ac 16 ar yr A55, a ddyfarnwyd ar ôl y rhybudd gwreiddiol am Carillion ym mis Gorffennaf y llynedd. Ar yr adeg pan gyhoeddwyd y rhybudd hwnnw, cafodd y broses gaffael ei hoedi dros dro, a cheisiwyd rhagor o sicrwydd gan y cwmni. Cafwyd y sicrwydd hwnnw, a lliniarwyd risgiau a allai fod wedi chwarae rhan yn hynny o beth. Nid oes unrhyw gontract arall wedi'i ddyfarnu ers mis Gorffennaf y llynedd. O ran Abellio a'r trefniadau masnachfraint, credaf fod nifer o sylwadau y dylwn i eu gwneud. Yn gyntaf oll, mewn ymateb uniongyrchol i gwestiwn Adam Price, mae Trafnidiaeth Cymru, ar ôl gweld y datblygiadau ym mis Gorffennaf ac yn ystod yr hydref, wedi bod yn rhan o broses i sicrhau bod sylfaen ariannol angenrheidiol y cynigion yn ddibynadwy, ac maen nhw wedi bod yn trafod ag Abellio ar y sail honno. Yn union ar ôl y digwyddiadau yn gynharach yr wythnos hon, mae Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet wedi cael cyngor cyfreithiol fel ein bod yn glir ynghylch a oes unrhyw effeithiau o'r datblygiadau hyn ar y broses fasnachfraint. Mae'r cwmni ei hun yn cymryd camau i wneud yn siŵr ei fod mewn sefyllfa i fwrw ymlaen â chynnig, os yw'n dewis gwneud hynny. Ac mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn parhau i fod yn ymrwymedig i sicrhau canlyniad terfynol yn y broses dendro a fydd yn arwain at wella gwasanaethau y mae pobl yng Nghymru yn dymuno eu gweld yn cael eu sicrhau. Y trydydd cwestiwn y mae'r Aelod yn ei godi yw'r un ehangaf, wrth gwrs. Bydd ef wedi gweld, rwy'n siŵr, darn yn y Financial Times heddiw o'r enw 'The Problem of Bigness', lle mae'r awdur yn trafod yr anawsterau sy'n digwydd i sefydliadau contractio cyhoeddus mewn marchnad lle y bu cryn gyfuno ac nad yw nifer y cwmnïau yn y maes yn arwain o reidrwydd at gystadleuaeth wirioneddol. Felly, mae hynny yn dod i'r amlwg yn anochel yn y profiad gyda Carillion, ac mae e'n iawn i dynnu sylw at y ffaith y bydd pob awdurdod cyhoeddus sy'n ymwneud â sicrhau gwasanaethau angenrheidiol drwy gontractio allan eisiau adolygu'r profiad hwn, dysgu'r gwersi oddi wrtho a gwneud yn siŵr na chaiff arian cyhoeddus ei beryglu yn ddiangen yn y dyfodol.
