English: Well, Llywydd, I certainly wouldn't be prepared to do that on the back of one study that I've not myself had any opportunity to look at. I think that there have been some outstanding examples in schools across Wales of the way in which teachers have been able to respond to the challenges of coronavirus and providing an education in the context that it has created. What we are now determined to do is to create a set of national expectations that mean that all schools in Wales in the autumn are able to draw on the experience of the very best to make sure that there are minimum attendance standards in school, that there are standards for frequency of contact when not in school and that quality of work assessment, marking and feedback standards are common across the whole of Wales. We will deploy Estyn inspectors from September to make sure that good practice is spread throughout the educational system in Wales, to make sure that the very best, which has been, I think, outstanding where it has been on offer, is on offer more broadly to all children in Wales.
Welsh: Wel, Llywydd, yn sicr, ni fyddwn i'n barod i wneud hynny ar sail un astudiaeth nad wyf i wedi cael unrhyw gyfle i edrych arni fy hun. Rwy'n credu y bu rhai enghreifftiau rhagorol mewn ysgolion ledled Cymru o'r ffordd y mae athrawon wedi gallu ymateb i heriau coronafeirws a darparu addysg yn y cyd-destun y mae wedi ei greu. Yr hyn yr ydym ni'n benderfynol o'i wneud nawr yw creu cyfres o ddisgwyliadau cenedlaethol sy'n golygu bod pob ysgol yng Nghymru yn yr hydref yn gallu manteisio ar brofiad y rhai gorau un i wneud yn siŵr bod safonau presenoldeb gofynnol yn yr ysgol, bod safonau ar gyfer amlder cyswllt pan nad ydyn nhw yn yr ysgol a bod safonau asesu ansawdd gwaith, marcio ac adborth yn gyffredin ar draws Cymru gyfan. Byddwn yn defnyddio arolygwyr Estyn o fis Medi ymlaen i wneud yn siŵr bod arferion da yn cael eu rhannu ar draws y system addysg yng Nghymru, i wneud yn siŵr bod y gorau un, sydd wedi bod yn rhagorol, yn fy marn ni, lle mae wedi cael ei gynnig, ar gael yn fwy eang i bob plentyn yng Nghymru.
English: Diolch, Llywydd. There are no changes to today's agenda. Draft business for the next three sitting weeks is set out on the business statement and announcement, which can be found amongst the meeting papers available to Members electronically.
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd. Nid oes unrhyw newidiadau i agenda heddiw. Mae'r busnes drafft ar gyfer y tair wythnos eistedd nesaf wedi'i nodi yn y datganiad a chyhoeddiad busnes, sydd i'w weld ymhlith papurau'r cyfarfodydd sydd ar gael i'r Aelodau'n electronig.
English: Trefnydd, I would be grateful if you could investigate the issue of written oral questions that have not been answered, dating back, in my case, as far as 2016, from Welsh Government Ministers. I know that this is an issue that has been raised a number of times in this Chamber, but I do feel now that we need to get to the bottom of why written questions are simply not answered by Welsh Government Ministers. Can you please investigate? According to the Table Office, some of my questions haven't been answered dating back as far as 2016. I'd be grateful if you could investigate this, business manager, with the Table Office and provide a statement to Members of this Senedd with an explanation of why this has occurred.
Welsh: Trefnydd, byddwn i'n ddiolchgar os gallech chi ymchwilio i'r mater cwestiynau llafar ysgrifenedig sydd heb eu hateb, yn dyddio'n ôl, yn fy achos i, cyn belled â 2016, gan Weinidogion Llywodraeth Cymru. Gwn fod hwn yn fater a godwyd nifer o weithiau yn y Siambr hon, ond teimlaf nawr fod angen inni ddarganfod pam nad yw cwestiynau ysgrifenedig yn cael eu hateb gan Weinidogion Llywodraeth Cymru. A allwch chi ymchwilio i hyn os gwelwch yn dda? Yn ôl y Swyddfa Gyflwyno, nid yw rhai o fy nghwestiynau i, yn dyddio'n ôl mor bell â 2016, wedi cael eu hateb. Byddwn i'n ddiolchgar os gallech ymchwilio i hyn, rheolwr busnes, gyda'r Swyddfa Gyflwyno a rhoi datganiad i Aelodau'r Senedd hon gydag esboniad o'r rheswm dros hyn.
English: I'll certainly investigate why those responses haven't arrived, certainly going back to such a date. If you let me have the numbers that would be helpful, otherwise I can liaise directly with the Table Office to get that information for you. FootnoteLink
Welsh: Yn sicr, byddaf yn ymchwilio i'r rheswm pam nad yw'r ymatebion hynny wedi cyrraedd, gan fynd yn ôl yn sicr i'r dyddiad hwnnw. Os allwch adael imi gael y niferoedd, byddai hynny'n ddefnyddiol, neu fel arall gallaf gysylltu'n uniongyrchol â'r Swyddfa Gyflwyno i gael yr wybodaeth honno ar eich cyfer. FootnoteLink
English: I wonder if it would be possible to have a Government time debate on the planning system in Wales, and in particular with regard to the role of the Planning Inspectorate. It's becoming increasingly clear to me and many other Assembly Members that there are real question marks about the fitness for purpose of the Planning Inspectorate and whether we should now be moving towards a system whereby local decisions by councils on planning matters should be prioritised to a far higher degree, rather than the way in which it seems to happen at the moment with the way in which the Planning Inspectorate seems to override local interest. It seems to me that it's an important and long-overdue debate, and I wonder if Government can make time for such a debate.
Welsh: Tybed a fyddai'n bosibl cael dadl amser y Llywodraeth ar y system gynllunio yng Nghymru, ac yn enwedig o ran swyddogaeth yr Arolygiaeth Gynllunio. Mae'n dod yn fwyfwy eglur i mi ac i lawer o Aelodau eraill y Senedd fod amheuon gwirioneddol ynghylch pa mor addas i'r diben yw'r Arolygiaeth Gynllunio ac a ddylem bellach fod yn symud tuag at system lle y dylai penderfyniadau lleol gan gynghorau ar faterion cynllunio gael eu blaenoriaethu'n fwy, yn hytrach na'r ffordd y mae'n digwydd ar hyn o bryd gyda'r Arolygiaeth Gynllunio yn ymddangos fel petai'n diystyru buddiannau lleol. Mae'n ymddangos i mi ei bod yn ddadl bwysig a hir-ddisgwyliedig, a tybed a all y Llywodraeth wneud amser ar gyfer dadl o'r fath.
English: I thank Mick Antoniw for that suggestion. Over the summer, I'll be having some discussions with colleagues about the debates that they would wish to bring forward, and I know that they'll be considering the requests that colleagues bring forward today, and have done in recent times as well, in terms of setting out that agenda of Government business for the next term, which I hope will, to a degree, allow us to return to more usual and more normal kinds of tabling of business. But, obviously, we will see where we are in the autumn term.
Welsh: Diolch i Mick Antoniw am yr awgrym hwnnw. Yn ystod yr haf, byddaf yn cael rhai trafodaethau â chyd-Aelodau am y dadleuon y byddent yn dymuno eu cyflwyno, a gwn y byddant yn ystyried y ceisiadau sydd wedi'u cyflwyno gan gyd-Aelodau heddiw, ac a wnaethant yn ddiweddar hefyd, o ran gosod yr agenda honno o fusnes y Llywodraeth ar gyfer y tymor nesaf. Gobeithio y bydd hynny, i raddau, yn caniatáu inni ddychwelyd at y mathau mwy arferol a mwy normal o gyflwyno busnes. Ond, yn amlwg, cawn weld ble'r ydym arni yn nhymor yr Hydref.
English: Trefnydd, will you ask the Minister for economy to come forward with a statement to confirm who exactly is entitled to receive a business support package from the economic recovery fund during the pandemic? There is still much confusion as to who qualifies, as in the case of my constituent who has three businesses, is paying three lots of tax for them, but because they're run from the same address, he has been given assistance for only one business, saying that he does not qualify. So, before his other two businesses, employing several people, are beyond repair, what financial assurance can my constituent be afforded?
Welsh: Trefnydd, a wnewch chi ofyn i Weinidog yr economi gyflwyno datganiad i gadarnhau pwy yn union sydd â'r hawl i gael pecyn cymorth busnes gan y gronfa adfer economaidd yn ystod y pandemig? Mae llawer o ddryswch yn parhau ynglŷn â phwy sy'n gymwys. Er enghraifft, yn achos un o fy etholwyr i sydd â thri busnes, ac sy'n talu treth dair gwaith, oherwydd eu bod yn cael eu rhedeg o'r un cyfeiriad, mae ond wedi cael cymorth ar gyfer un busnes, gan ddweud nad yw'n gymwys. Felly, cyn i'w ddau fusnes arall, sy'n cyflogi nifer o bobl, fynd y tu hwnt i achubiaeth, pa sicrwydd ariannol y gellid ei roi i fy etholwr?
English: I thank Caroline Jones for raising this. I do think that the criteria for the grants related to non-domestic rates are quite clear, in the sense that they are set out on the Business Wales website. The situation you describe certainly sounds as if it would only be the one business that would be eligible for the business rate related grant, because those grants are directly related to those businesses that are paying the non-domestic rates. That said, other businesses are being asked to look to the economic resilience fund, which opened for phase 2 earlier on this week, to seek support for businesses that aren't eligible for the non-domestic relief-related grants. So, we've tried to put in support, as the First Minister's said, in order to plug those gaps as far as is possible.
Welsh: Diolch i Caroline Jones am godi hyn. Rwy'n credu bod y meini prawf ar gyfer y grantiau sy'n ymwneud ag ardrethi annomestig yn eithaf clir, yn yr ystyr eu bod wedi'u nodi ar wefan Busnes Cymru. Mae'r sefyllfa yr ydych chi'n ei disgrifio yn sicr yn swnio fel pe bai dim ond un busnes fyddai'n gymwys i gael y grant ardrethi busnes, oherwydd bod y grantiau hynny'n gysylltiedig yn uniongyrchol â'r busnesau hynny sy'n talu ardrethi annomestig. Wedi dweud hynny, gofynnir i fusnesau fynd at y gronfa cydnerthedd economaidd, a agorodd ar gyfer cam 2 yn gynharach yr wythnos hon, i geisio cymorth i fusnesau nad ydyn nhw'n gymwys i gael grantiau sy'n gysylltiedig â rhyddhad ardrethi annomestig. Felly, rydym wedi ceisio rhoi cefnogaeth, fel y dywedodd y Prif Weinidog, er mwyn llenwi'r bylchau hynny cyn belled ag y bo modd.
English: Leader of the house, could I have two statements, if possible? I appreciate that they'll be done in a written form. One in relation to the Government missing its deadline for farm payments yesterday - 30 June itself is the deadline to make all farm payments other than complex payments. I'm led to believe that the Government has missed that deadline and will be subject to EU fines for missing the deadline. We now need to understand what the new timeline will be for farm businesses to receive this money, especially with the COVID crisis impacting on many farm businesses, and the flow of cash into those businesses. And secondly, the Auditor General for Wales's report yesterday touched on a very pertinent issue that has been plaguing the rural development plan and its delivery right the way through its lifetime since 2014. The auditor general did a report in 2018 that highlighted the same problems that were highlighted by the report yesterday. And, sadly, it does seem as if much of this money goes to favoured companies, individuals or Government agencies themselves, as the auditor general highlights. It is vitally important that the Minister responds to this report in a timely manner and that Members see that response so that, with the remaining time for the rural development plan, we can have confidence that the remaining money will not be frittered away and will be used to best effect.
Welsh: Arweinydd y Tŷ, a gaf i ddau ddatganiad, os oes modd? Rwy'n sylweddoli y byddan nhw'n cael eu gwneud ar ffurf ysgrifenedig. Un o ran y Llywodraeth yn methu ei therfyn amser ar gyfer taliadau fferm ddoe - 30 Mehefin yw'r dyddiad cau ar gyfer gwneud pob taliad fferm, ar wahân i daliadau cymhleth. Rwy'n deall bod y Llywodraeth wedi methu'r dyddiad cau hwnnw ac y bydd yn agored i ddirwyon yr UE am fethu'r dyddiad cau. Mae angen inni ddeall yn awr beth fydd y llinell amser newydd i fusnesau fferm gael yr arian hwn, yn enwedig gyda'r argyfwng COVID sy'n effeithio ar lawer o fusnesau fferm, a'r llif arian i'r busnesau hynny. Ac yn ail, soniodd adroddiad Archwilydd Cyffredinol Cymru ddoe am fater perthnasol iawn sydd wedi bod yn bla ar y cynllun datblygu gwledig a'r ffordd y cafodd ei gyflawni yn ystod ei oes ers 2014. Cyflawnodd yr Archwilydd Cyffredinol adroddiad yn 2018 a oedd yn amlygu'r un problemau a amlygwyd gan yr adroddiad ddoe. Ac, yn anffodus, mae'n ymddangos fel petai llawer o'r arian hwn yn mynd i gwmnïau ac unigolion a ffefrir, neu i asiantaethau'r Llywodraeth eu hunain, fel y mae'r archwilydd cyffredinol yn ei amlygu. Mae'n hanfodol bwysig bod y Gweinidog yn ymateb i'r adroddiad hwn mewn modd amserol a bod yr Aelodau'n gweld yr ymateb hwnnw fel y gallwn ni, gyda'r amser sy'n weddill ar gyfer y cynllun datblygu gwledig, fod yn hyderus na fydd yr arian sydd ar ôl yn cael ei wastraffu ac y caiff ei ddefnyddio yn y ffordd fwyaf effeithiol.
English: I will certainly make sure that the Minister is aware of your request for a statement and clarity on farm payments, particularly in the timing of those payments within this financial year. On the second issue that you raise about the Wales Audit Office report, obviously, we're grateful for the work that was done there, and we'll ensure that officials respond to them in due course. I do know that officials will need to provide evidence to the Public Accounts Committee in respect of the approach taken to the assessment of value for money through the RDP, and I think that that is a proper forum for those issues to be discussed and explored. As part of our ongoing review of the delivery of the RDP, officials had already identified the issues described by Audit Wales and have taken action to remedy them. The report's conclusions provide some helpful guidance to ensure that all the necessary actions have been implemented. And I can add that officials have reviewed the projects concerned to ensure that they do, in practice, deliver value for money, and, where appropriate, have taken action to ensure that we do achieve value for money, including retendering some of those projects. So, I hope that that's helpful as an interim update before officials give evidence to the Public Accounts Committee.
Welsh: Yn sicr, byddaf yn sicrhau bod y Gweinidog yn ymwybodol o'ch cais am ddatganiad ac eglurder ynghylch taliadau fferm, yn enwedig o ran amseriad y taliadau hynny o fewn y flwyddyn ariannol hon. O ran yr ail fater a godwch am adroddiad Swyddfa Archwilio Cymru, yn amlwg, rydym yn ddiolchgar am y gwaith a wnaed yno, a byddwn yn sicrhau bod swyddogion yn ymateb iddyn nhw maes o law. Gwn y bydd angen i'r swyddogion ddarparu tystiolaeth i'r Pwyllgor Cyfrifon Cyhoeddus ynglŷn â'r dull a gafodd ei ddefnyddio i asesu gwerth am arian drwy'r cynllun datblygu gwledig, ac rwy'n credu bod hwnnw'n fforwm priodol i'r materion hynny gael eu trafod a'u harchwilio. Fel rhan o'n hadolygiad parhaus o'r broses o ddarparu'r cynllun datblygu gwledig, roedd swyddogion eisoes wedi nodi'r materion yr oedd Archwilio Cymru wedi'u disgrifio ac wedi cymryd camau i'w hunioni. Mae casgliadau'r adroddiad yn rhoi tipyn o arweiniad defnyddiol i sicrhau bod yr holl gamau angenrheidiol wedi'u cymryd. A gallaf ychwanegu bod swyddogion wedi adolygu'r prosiectau dan sylw i sicrhau eu bod, yn ymarferol, yn sicrhau gwerth am arian a'u bod, lle bo hynny'n briodol, wedi cymryd camau i sicrhau ein bod ni'n cyflawni gwerth am arian, gan gynnwys ail-dendro rhai o'r prosiectau hynny. Felly, rwy'n gobeithio y bydd hynny o gymorth fel diweddariad dros dro cyn i swyddogion roi tystiolaeth i'r Pwyllgor Cyfrifon Cyhoeddus.
English: Diolch, Llywydd. Trefnydd, can I call for a Welsh Government statement on when driving lessons, theory tests and practical tests will be able to recommence in Wales? There are a lot of people across the country, particularly young people, who were in the middle of taking their driving lessons and have been unable to complete their courses. In addition to that, there are those who've passed their theory tests, and the validity of those can expire before they're able to take the actual practical driving test, because of the coronavirus shutdown. And, of course, there are many driving schools with instructors on the English side of the border who are losing out to business to driving schools on the other side of the Welsh border, simply because of the current situation. The UK Government has announced that it's going to be recommencing these things on 4 July, and I think it would be great if we could get to a situation in Wales where we were able to announce the same as soon as possible.
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd. Trefnydd, a gaf i alw am ddatganiad gan Lywodraeth Cymru ynghylch pryd y bydd gwersi gyrru, profion theori a phrofion ymarferol yn gallu ailddechrau yng Nghymru? Mae llawer o bobl ledled y wlad, yn enwedig pobl ifanc, a oedd ar ganol cymryd eu gwersi gyrru ac wedi methu cwblhau eu cyrsiau. Yn ychwanegol at hynny, mae yna rai sydd wedi pasio eu profion theori, a dilysrwydd y rheini yn dod i ben cyn y gallan nhw sefyll y prawf gyrru ymarferol gwirioneddol, oherwydd cyfyngiadau coronafeirws. Ac, wrth gwrs, mae llawer o ysgolion gyrru gyda hyfforddwyr ar ochr Lloegr i'r ffin sy'n colli busnes i ysgolion gyrru ar ochr arall ffin Cymru, dim ond oherwydd y sefyllfa bresennol. Mae Llywodraeth y DU wedi cyhoeddi y bydd yn ailddechrau'r pethau hyn ar 4 Gorffennaf, ac rwy'n credu y byddai'n wych o beth pe byddai modd i ni gyrraedd sefyllfa yng Nghymru lle gallem gyhoeddi'r un peth cyn gynted â phosibl.
English: Well, a really wide range of circumstances are considered throughout our three-weekly rolling review of the regulations, and, clearly, we are considering many different types of employment and employment circumstances. So, obviously, there are circumstances across Wales - I've had guitar teachers who teach at home, for example, wanting to know what the rules mean for them. So, I know that we do need to provide as much clarity as we can, which we're seeking to do through our three-weekly reviews, but I will make sure that I express your concerns particularly about driving instructors and people undertaking driving lessons, with a view to taking tests, in those discussions that we'll be continuing to have this week.
Welsh: Wel, mae amrywiaeth eang iawn o amgylchiadau'n cael eu hystyried drwy gydol ein hadolygiad treigl tair wythnos o'r rheoliadau, ac rydym yn ystyried llawer o wahanol fathau o gyflogaeth ac amgylchiadau cyflogaeth. Felly, yn amlwg, mae yna amgylchiadau ledled Cymru - rwyf wedi cael athrawon gitâr sy'n addysgu gartref, er enghraifft, eisiau gwybod yr hyn y mae'r rheolau yn ei olygu iddyn nhw. Felly, rwy'n gwybod bod angen inni ddarparu cymaint o eglurder ag y gallwn ni, ac rydym ni'n ceisio gwneud hynny drwy ein hadolygiadau tair wythnos, ond gwnaf yn siŵr fy mod yn mynegi'ch pryderon, yn enwedig o ran hyfforddwyr gyrru a phobl sy'n cael gwersi gyrru, gyda golwg ar sefyll profion, yn y trafodaethau hynny y byddwn ni'n parhau i'w cael yr wythnos hon.
English: The next item is questions to the Counsel General in respect of his law officer responsibilities, and the first question is from Helen Mary Jones.
Welsh: Yr eitem nesaf, felly, yw'r cwestiynau i'r Cwnsler Cyffredinol yn rhinwedd ei gyfrifoldebau fel y swyddog cyfreithiol, ac mae'r cwestiwn cyntaf gan Helen Mary Jones.
English: The Welsh Government is committed to upholding human rights, a responsibility that it takes very seriously. The COVID crisis has not diminished that commitment. Those rights are as important now as at any time in the past. The Welsh Government continues to ensure the protection of those rights throughout the management of the COVID-19 crisis.
Welsh: Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi ymrwymo i gynnal hawliau dynol, cyfrifoldeb y mae'n ei gymryd o ddifrif. Nid yw argyfwng COVID wedi lleihau'r ymrwymiad hwnnw. Mae'r hawliau hynny mor bwysig nawr ag y buon nhw ar unrhyw adeg yn y gorffennol. Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn parhau i sicrhau bod yr hawliau hynny'n cael eu diogelu drwy gydol y broses o reoli argyfwng COVID-19.
English: I'm grateful to the Counsel General for his response and for his reassurances. He will, of course, as I'm sure we all are, be aware that this crisis has impacted more seriously on some sections of the population than others. We know, for example, about the economic impact on women and the longer term impact of having to do increased domestic duties at the same time as working from home, and, of course, the impact of the virus on black people and people of colour. Is the Counsel General confident that the advice that he's been able to provide has ensured that the Welsh Government has exercised its public sector equality duty in how it has responded? Anecdotally, it would be my impression that certainly efforts have been done to do so, but it is, I'm sure he would agree with me, very important that as we move out of the crisis we ensure that these disproportionate impacts on already vulnerable sections of our community are built into our plans to rebuild and to develop particularly the economy.
Welsh: Rwy'n ddiolchgar i'r Cwnsler Cyffredinol am ei ymateb ac am y sicrwydd hwnnw. Fe fydd ef, wrth gwrs, fel yr ydym ni i gyd, rwy'n siŵr, yn ymwybodol bod yr argyfwng hwn wedi effeithio'n fwy difrifol ar rai carfannau o'r boblogaeth nag ar eraill. Rydym ni'n gwybod, er enghraifft, am yr effaith economaidd ar fenywod ac effaith tymor hwy gorfod gwneud mwy o ddyletswyddau domestig ar yr un pryd â gweithio gartref ac, wrth gwrs, effaith y feirws ar bobl ddu a phobl o liw. A yw'r Cwnsler Cyffredinol yn hyderus bod y cyngor y mae ef wedi gallu ei ddarparu wedi sicrhau bod Llywodraeth Cymru wedi arfer ei dyletswydd cydraddoldeb sector cyhoeddus yn y ffordd yr ymatebodd? Yn anecdotaidd, fy argraff i yw y gwnaed ymdrechion i wneud hynny, yn sicr. Ond mae'n bwysig iawn, rwy'n siŵr y byddai'n cytuno â mi, wrth inni symud allan o'r argyfwng, ein bod yn sicrhau bod yr effeithiau anghymesur hyn ar rannau o'n cymuned sydd eisoes yn agored i niwed yn cael eu cynnwys yn ein cynlluniau i ailadeiladu ac i ddatblygu'r economi.
