English: Thank you, leader of the house. Newport's road network is undeniably under strain. Any incident or heavy congestion on the M4 has a significant effect, not just on the main artery for Wales, but a severe knock-on effect on local roads. It also causes traffic that's passing through the city on the M4, like heavy goods vehicles and others, to spill out onto Newport's roads. Next week, the Severn bridge tolls will finally be lifted. Without any mitigation, this will put an additional pressure on the bottleneck at the Brynglas tunnels. Already poor air quality due to idling traffic will only get worse. With bus companies finding it hard to cope during heavy congestion and current disruption on trains, local people have very few alternatives. What preparation is being made to help alleviate congestion on an already struggling road network following the abolishment of the tolls?
Welsh: Diolch, arweinydd y tŷ. Ni ellir gwadu bod rhwydwaith ffyrdd Casnewydd o dan straen. Mae unrhyw ddigwyddiad neu dagfeydd trwm ar yr M4 yn cael effaith sylweddol, nid yn unig ar y brif ffordd i Gymru, ond sgil-effaith ddifrifol ar ffyrdd lleol. Mae hefyd yn achosi i draffig sy'n teithio drwy'r ddinas ar yr M4, fel cerbydau nwyddau trwm ac eraill, i orlifo allan i ffyrdd Casnewydd. Yr wythnos nesaf, bydd tollau pontydd Hafren, yn cael eu diddymu o'r diwedd. Heb unrhyw gamau lliniaru, bydd hyn yn rhoi pwysau ychwanegol ar y dagfa yn nhwnelau Bryn-glas. Bydd ansawdd aer sydd eisoes yn wael oherwydd traffig llonydd ddim ond yn gwaethygu. Gyda chwmnïau bysiau yn ei chael yn anodd ymdopi yn ystod tagfeydd trwm a'r tarfu presennol ar y trenau, prin iawn yw'r dewisiadau eraill i bobl leol. Pa waith paratoi sy'n cael ei wneud i helpu i leddfu tagfeydd ar rwydwaith ffyrdd sydd eisoes mewn trafferthion ar ôl diddymu'r tollau?
English: I note that the Minister got through a minute and a half before you actually mentioned the M4 relief road, and I do hope we have this debate next week, as I think you suggested in a prior session. I just wonder, given the First Minister has worked so hard to ensure that he doesn't prejudice his position so that he can consider the inquiry dispassionately and then take the planning decision, isn't it important that he's allowed to take that planning decision, even if a new First Minister in Welsh Government, nonetheless, thereafter, has to decide whether to actually spend the money on taking up that permission if he grants it?
Welsh: Rwy'n sylwi bod y Gweinidog wedi siarad am funud a hanner cyn i chi sôn am ffordd liniaru'r M4, ac rwy'n gobeithio y byddwn ni'n cael y ddadl hon yr wythnos nesaf, fel yr awgrymwyd gennych, rwy'n credu, mewn sesiwn flaenorol. Rwy'n meddwl tybed, o ystyried bod y Prif Weinidog wedi gweithio mor galed i sicrhau nad yw'n rhagfarnu ei safbwynt fel y gall ystyried yr ymchwiliad mewn modd diduedd ac yna gwneud y penderfyniad cynllunio, onid yw'n bwysig ein bod yn caniatáu iddo wneud y penderfyniad cynllunio hwnnw, hyd yn oed os oes rhaid i Brif Weinidog newydd yn Llywodraeth Cymru, serch hynny, wedyn, benderfynu a ddylid gwario'r arian ar fwrw ymlaen â'r caniatâd hwnnw os yw'n ei roi?
English: Well, no, that's not how the legals work; it's an executive decision for the Government. So, if it's not the Government, then, obviously, he can't take it. However, we are currently working very hard, as I've said repeatedly - we're currently working very hard to make sure that all of the legal advice and all of the other advice necessary to ensure that the decision can be properly considered and taken in the light of all relevant information will be available. As soon as it's available, then the First Minister will be able to apply his mind to that. There's no certainty of the outcome of that; the First Minister needs to apply his judgment to that when he's got all of that information in front of him. Once that has been done, then it can proceed to the next stages of that very, very complex legal set of issues that surround it.
Welsh: Wel, na, nid dyna sut mae'r ochr gyfreithiol yn gweithio; penderfyniad gweithredol i'r Llywodraeth yw hwn. Felly, os nad y Llywodraeth, yna, yn amlwg, ni all ei wneud. Fodd bynnag, rydym ni'n gweithio'n galed iawn ar hyn o bryd, fel yr wyf i wedi ei ddweud droeon - rydym ni'n gweithio'n galed iawn ar hyn o bryd i wneud yn siŵr y bydd yr holl gyngor cyfreithiol a'r holl gyngor arall sydd ei angen i sicrhau y gall y penderfyniad gael ei ystyried yn briodol a'i wneud yng ngoleuni'r holl wybodaeth berthnasol a fydd ar gael. Cyn gynted ag y bydd ar gael, yna bydd y Prif Weinidog yn gallu rhoi ei feddwl ar hynny. Nid oes unrhyw sicrwydd ynghylch canlyniad hynny; mae angen i'r Prif Weinidog wneud ei ddyfarniad ynghylch hynny pan fydd ganddo'r holl wybodaeth honno o'i flaen. Ar ôl i hynny gael ei wneud, yna gall symud ymlaen i gamau nesaf y gyfres o faterion cyfreithiol cymhleth iawn, iawn sy'n gysylltiedig ag ef.
English: I'd like to take this opportunity to thank organisations such as Gwent Wildlife Trust and Friends of the Earth Cymru for their vocal opposition to the Government's proposed black route M4 around Newport, which, as we all know, will do nothing to alleviate congestion around the city or the wider area. I note that it took the leader of the house a little while to get round to mentioning the black route in her answer, but I wonder if she'll take this opportunity now to agree with me that we'd be far better off, financially and environmentally, by investing money earmarked for the black route instead on the final phases of the metro system and improving public transport links between the communities of the south-east.
Welsh: Hoffwn achub ar y cyfle hwn i ddiolch i sefydliadau fel Ymddiriedolaeth Bywyd Gwyllt Gwent a Chyfeillion y Ddaear Cymru am eu gwrthwynebiad llafar i lwybr du arfaethedig y Llywodraeth ar gyfer yr M4 o amgylch Casnewydd, na fydd, fel yr ydym ni i gyd yn gwybod, yn gwneud dim i leddfu tagfeydd o gwmpas y ddinas nac yn yr ardal ehangach. Nodaf iddi gymryd cryn dipyn o amser i arweinydd y tŷ gyfeirio at y llwybr du yn ei hateb, ond tybed a wnaiff hi achub ar y cyfle hwn nawr i gytuno â mi y byddem ni'n llawer gwell ein byd, yn ariannol ac yn amgylcheddol, drwy fuddsoddi arian a glustnodwyd ar gyfer y llwybr du ar gamau olaf y system fetro yn hytrach, a gwella cysylltiadau trafnidiaeth gyhoeddus rhwng cymunedau'r de-ddwyrain.
English: As I said, the Government is in a legal process; it's not for me to upset the legal process. The legal process is a set process that I've explained on a lot of occasions; I'm happy to explain it again. The reason I took a little while to get to the M4 is because I do think that Members need to understand that this is a range of measures; there are a suite of things happening across the road network in that area as well as across Wales, and to get fixated on a single project is not necessarily where we want to be. It's a very important project, of course it is. There is a legal process that we are in, the legal process is inexorable, we must follow it to its conclusion, whatever that is, and I'm sure the Member will be taking part in the debate when it's brought forth.
Welsh: Fel y dywedais, mae'r Llywodraeth mewn proses gyfreithiol; nid fy lle i yw amharu ar y broses gyfreithiol. Mae'r broses gyfreithiol yn broses sefydlog yr wyf i wedi ei hesbonio ar sawl achlysur; rwy'n hapus i'w hesbonio eto. Y rheswm y cymerais i ychydig o amser i gyfeirio at yr M4 oedd y ffaith fy mod i'n credu bod angen i'r Aelodau ddeall bod hon yn amrywiaeth o fesurau; mae cyfres o bethau sy'n digwydd ar draws y rhwydwaith ffyrdd yn yr ardal honno yn ogystal â ledled Cymru, ac nid datblygu obsesiwn gydag un prosiect yw'r sefyllfa yr ydym ni eisiau bod ynddi o reidrwydd. Mae'n brosiect pwysig iawn, wrth gwrs ei fod. Ceir proses gyfreithiol yr ydym ni ynddi, mae'r broses gyfreithiol yn ddiwrthdro, mae'n rhaid i ni ei dilyn i'w chasgliad, beth bynnag fydd hwnnw, ac rwy'n siŵr y bydd yr Aelod yn cymryd rhan yn y ddadl pan fydd hi'n cael ei chynnal.
English: Leader of the house, one of the issues, when it comes to tackling the pinch points, of course, is that you often just free up traffic to go to the next pinch point. One of the next pinch points further on from that location, of course, is the A470, which is now recognised, actually, as the most congested part of Wales with very serious pollution issues. Would you agree with me that the ultimate solution to our problems on the roads is the development and maintenance of a public transport system that gives people the opportunity not to have to drive on the roads to get to where they need to go, using a safe and efficient and comfortable public transport system?
Welsh: Arweinydd y tŷ, un o'r materion, o ran mynd i'r afael â mannau cyfyng, wrth gwrs, yw mai'r cwbl yr ydych chi'n ei wneud yn aml yw rhyddhau traffig i fynd ymlaen i'r man cyfyng nesaf. Un o'r mannau cyfyng nesaf ymhellach ymlaen o'r lleoliad hwnnw, wrth gwrs, yw'r A470, a gydnabyddir erbyn hyn, a dweud y gwir, fel y rhan brysuraf o Gymru sydd â phroblemau llygredd difrifol iawn. A fyddech chi'n cytuno â mi mai'r ateb yn y pen draw i'n problemau ar y ffyrdd yw datblygu a chynnal system trafnidiaeth gyhoeddus sy'n rhoi cyfle i bobl i beidio â gorfod gyrru ar ffyrdd i gyrraedd lle maen nhw angen mynd, gan ddefnyddio system trafnidiaeth gyhoeddus ddiogel ac effeithlon a chyfforddus?
English: Yes, and as I said, I emphasised that the pinch-point studies are designed to look at a range of solutions to congestion problems - not just road building, but absolutely everything, from public transport to active travel. A whole suite of measures is necessary to reduce congestion in most parts of Wales, not a fixation on a single part of that.
Welsh: Byddwn, ac fel y dywedais, pwysleisiais fod astudiaethau mannau cyfyng wedi'u cynllunio i ystyried amrywiaeth o atebion i broblemau tagfeydd - nid adeiladu ffyrdd yn unig, ond popeth, o drafnidiaeth gyhoeddus i deithio llesol. Mae angen cyfres lawn o fesurau i leihau tagfeydd yn y rhan fwyaf o rannau o Gymru, nid obsesiwn ag un rhan o hynny.
English: We are considering all options to improve air quality in Wales. As part of the clean air programme, the Minister for Environment has established an air quality evidence, innovation and improvements project, which will consider the practical application of the World Health Organization guidelines for air pollution in Wales.
Welsh: Rydym yn ystyried pob dewis i wella ansawdd aer yng Nghymru. Yn rhan o'r rhaglen aer glân, mae Gweinidog yr Amgylchedd wedi sefydlu prosiect tystiolaeth, arloesedd a gwelliannau ar gyfer ansawdd aer, a fydd yn ystyried y defnydd ymarferol o ganllawiau Sefydliad Iechyd y Byd ar gyfer llygredd aer yng Nghymru.
English: Leader of the house, I'm sure you'll be aware that this is a very important matter that relates to the concerns of my colleague for Newport West, which is that pollution and congestion are very, very serious matters when it comes to public health. You may be aware that there was a report last month, published by the English public health organisation, about the effects of long-term exposure on cardiovascular morbidity i.e. it's killing more of us than it needs to. And although a lot of concern has been expressed about the levels of nitrogen oxides in the environment, I think it's really important we consider particulates in combination with them, because it's particulates that are the most damaging, because they penetrate the very smallest ventricles, and particularly the impact on children. So, I'd be very grateful if you could tell me what consideration, if any, the Government has so far given to adopting the WHO limits, which are obviously considerably better than the European Union's limits.
Welsh: Arweinydd y tŷ, rwy'n siŵr y byddwch chi'n ymwybodol bod hwn yn fater pwysig iawn sy'n ymwneud â phryderon fy nghyd-Aelod dros Orllewin Casnewydd, sef bod llygredd a thagfeydd yn faterion difrifol dros ben pan ddaw i iechyd y cyhoedd. Efallai y byddwch yn ymwybodol bod adroddiad fis diwethaf, a gyhoeddwyd gan sefydliad iechyd y cyhoedd yn Lloegr, ar effeithiau amlygiad hirdymor ar afiachusrwydd cardiofasgwlaidd h.y. mae'n lladd mwy ohonom ni nag y mae angen iddo. Ac er y mynegwyd llawer o bryder ynghylch y lefelau o ocsidau nitrogen yn yr amgylchedd, rwy'n credu ei bod hi'n bwysig iawn ein bod ni'n ystyried gronynnau mewn cyfuniad â nhw, oherwydd gronynnau sydd fwyaf niweidiol, gan eu bod nhw'n treiddio'r fentriglau lleiaf, ac yn enwedig yr effaith ar blant. Felly, byddwn yn ddiolchgar iawn pe gallech chi ddweud wrthyf pa ystyriaeth, os o gwbl, y mae'r Llywodraeth wedi ei rhoi hyd yma i fabwysiadu terfynau Sefydliad Iechyd y Byd, sy'n amlwg yn sylweddol well na therfynau'r Undeb Ewropeaidd.
English: Yes, absolutely. As part of the clean air programme established this summer, as I just said, an air quality evidence, innovation and improvements project has been set up. That will look at the World Health Organization guidelines for air pollution and all of their potential impacts and for potential adoption in Wales. The guidelines are based solely on scientific conclusions about public health aspects of air pollution, and don't consider the technical feasibility or the economic, political and social aspects of the achievement of those levels. Therefore, we have officials currently assessing such practical aspects so that we can underpin future targets with evidence, to ensure they deliver the most effective change, supporting the delivery of our well-being goals. We already have access to a wide range of levers to take forward action to improve air quality, including planning, infrastructure, legislation, regulation and communication measures. The Minister has indicated that we would consider legislating as well, if we find that that suite of measures isn't sufficient for the practical implementation of the standards.
Welsh: Gallaf, yn sicr. Yn rhan o'r rhaglen aer glân a sefydlwyd yr haf hwn, fel yr wyf i newydd ei ddweud, sefydlwyd prosiect tystiolaeth, arloesedd a gwelliannau ar gyfer ansawdd aer. Bydd hwnnw'n edrych ar ganllawiau Sefydliad Iechyd y Byd ar gyfer llygredd aer a'u holl effeithiau posibl, ac ar gyfer eu mabwysiadu o bosibl yng Nghymru. Mae'r canllawiau yn seiliedig ar gasgliadau gwyddonol am agweddau iechyd cyhoeddus llygredd aer yn unig, ac nid ydynt yn ystyried ymarferoldeb technegol nac agweddau economaidd, gwleidyddol a chymdeithasol ar gyflawni'r lefelau hynny. Felly, mae gennym ni swyddogion yn asesu agweddau ymarferol o'r fath ar hyn o bryd fel y gallwn seilio targedau yn y dyfodol ar dystiolaeth, i sicrhau eu bod yn cyflawni'r newid mwyaf effeithiol, gan helpu i gyflawni ein nodau llesiant. Mae gennym ni fynediad at amrywiaeth eang o ysgogiadau eisoes i fwrw ymlaen â chamau i wella ansawdd aer, gan gynnwys cynllunio, seilwaith, deddfwriaeth, rheoliadau a mesurau cyfathrebu. Mae'r Gweinidog wedi nodi y byddem yn ystyried deddfu hefyd, os byddwn yn canfod nad yw'r gyfres honno o fesurau yn ddigonol ar gyfer gweithredu'r safonau yn ymarferol.
English: Back in March, leader of the house, I did ask the First Minister what leadership role the Welsh Government was taking to reduce the premature deaths through poor air quality. We know that 2,000 people a year die prematurely through poor air quality here in Wales. That's 6 per cent of all deaths in Wales, or five every day. Those are really, really major figures that we've desperately got to be tackling, and when you talk to certain organisations, they say there's good work going on in isolation, but not in a co-ordinated fashion. Would the Government be open-minded to actually having a summit of all relevant partners to try and drive forward this agenda, so that by 2021, when this Assembly breaks for the elections, we can see genuine improvement in those figures and a substantial reduction in the premature deaths through poor air quality here in Wales?
Welsh: Yn ôl ym mis Mawrth, arweinydd y tŷ, gofynnais i'r Prif Weinidog pa swyddogaeth arweinyddiaeth yr oedd Llywodraeth Cymru yn ei chymryd i leihau marwolaethau cynamserol drwy ansawdd aer gwael. Rydym ni'n gwybod bod 2,000 o bobl y flwyddyn yn marw'n gynamserol bob blwyddyn drwy ansawdd aer gwael yma yng Nghymru. Mae hynny'n 6 y cant o'r holl farwolaethau yng Nghymru, neu bump bob dydd. Mae'r rheini'n ffigurau mawr dros ben y mae hanfodol i ni fynd i'r afael â nhw, a phan fyddwch chi'n siarad â sefydliadau penodol, maen nhw'n dweud bod gwaith da yn cael ei wneud yn annibynnol, ond nid mewn modd cydlynol. A fyddai'r Llywodraeth yn ddigon meddwl agored i gynnal uwchgynhadledd o'r holl bartneriaid perthnasol i geisio bwrw ymlaen â'r agenda hon, fel y gallwn ni weld, erbyn 2021, pan fydd y Cynulliad hwn yn torri ar gyfer yr etholiadau, welliant gwirioneddol i'r ffigurau hynny a gostyngiad sylweddol i'r marwolaethau cynamserol drwy ansawdd aer gwael yma yng Nghymru?
English: Yes. As I said, we've got the studies going on at the moment, and I'm sure, once we've bottomed out some of the practical aspects, then we will be consulting on a way forward on that. I can't speak for this particular area, but normally we would look to consult and engage with as wide a range of stakeholders as possible - particularly those with expert knowledge on how to implement practical standards in clean air, which, after all, as the Member points out, is what we all want.
Welsh: Byddem. Fel y dywedais, mae gennym ni'r astudiaethau sy'n cael eu cynnal ar hyn o bryd, ac rwy'n siŵr, ar ôl i ni gytuno ar rai o'r agweddau ymarferol, y byddwn ni'n ymgynghori ar ffordd ymlaen ar hynny. Ni allaf siarad ar gyfer y maes penodol hwn, ond fel rheol byddem yn ceisio ymgynghori ac ymgysylltu ag amrywiaeth mor eang o randdeiliaid â phosibl - yn enwedig y rhai â gwybodaeth arbenigol am sut i weithredu safonau ymarferol mewn aer glân, sef, wedi'r cyfan, fel mae'r Aelod yn ei nodi, yr hyn yr ydym ni i gyd ei eisiau.
English: Well, dirty air is killing our citizens, and it's ruining the lives of our children. Now, Plaid Cymru has outlined some of our proposals in relation to tackling vehicle emissions, pollution monitoring, pollution and congestion charging, creating clean air zones, but also giving them that legal underpinning that they need. Now, you mentioned that you might consider it. Well, I would urge you, please, as a Government, to support Plaid Cymru's proposals for a clean air Bill for Wales.
Welsh: Wel, mae aer budr yn lladd ein dinasyddion, ac mae'n difetha bywydau ein plant. Nawr, mae Plaid Cymru wedi amlinellu rhai o'n cynigion o ran mynd i'r afael ag allyriadau o gerbydau, monitro llygredd, ffioedd llygredd a thagfeydd, creu ardaloedd aer glân, ond gan hefyd roi'r sail gyfreithiol honno sydd ei hangen arnyn nhw. Nawr, soniasoch efallai y byddwch chi'n ei ystyried. Wel, rwyf yn eich annog, os gwelwch yn dda, fel Llywodraeth, i gefnogi cynigion Plaid Cymru ar gyfer Bil aer glân i Gymru.
English: Yes, as I said, we've a range of measures in place, and we need to look to see what we can do with current levers, including that we have - . For example, we consulted earlier this year on tackling roadside nitrogen dioxide concentrations. That document set out how we will reduce concentrations of nitrogen dioxide around roads in Wales where levels are above the limit. That plan will be published by the end of this month. We've also got the clean air zone framework for Wales. The final framework will be published by the end of the year. We've a number of other, as I said, studies and so on going on. What we need to do is get the most comprehensive set of measures in place and then look to see what can be added by a clean air Act. Certainly, that's not off the table, but it may not be necessary. What we'd really like to do is just get on with it as soon as possible.
Welsh: Ie, fel y dywedais, mae gennym ni amrywiaeth o fesurau ar waith, ac mae angen i ni edrych i weld beth y gallwn ni ei wneud gydag ysgogiadau cyfredol, gan gynnwys bod gennym ni - . Er enghraifft, ymgynghorwyd yn gynharach eleni ar fynd i'r afael â chrynodiadau nitrogen deuocsid ar ymyl y ffordd. Roedd y ddogfen honno'n nodi sut y byddwn yn lleihau crynodiadau o nitrogen deuocsid o amgylch ffyrdd yng Nghymru lle mae lefelau yn uwch na'r terfyn. Bydd y cynllun hwnnw'n cael ei gyhoeddi erbyn diwedd y mis hwn. Mae gennym ni fframwaith ardal aer glân Cymru hefyd. Bydd y fframwaith terfynol yn cael ei gyhoeddi erbyn diwedd y flwyddyn. Mae gennym ni nifer o astudiaethau eraill ac ati, fel y dywedais, ar y gweill. Yr hyn y mae angen i ni ei wneud yw cael y gyfres fwyaf gynhwysfawr o fesurau ar waith ac yna edrych i weld beth y gellid ei ychwanegu drwy gael Deddf aer glân. Yn sicr, nid yw hynny oddi ar y bwrdd, ond efallai na fydd yn angenrheidiol. Yr hyn yr hoffem ni ei wneud yn sicr yw bwrw ymlaen â phethau cyn gynted â phosibl.
English: Thank you, leader of the house, responding on behalf of the First Minister.
Welsh: Diolch i arweinydd y tŷ, yn ateb ar ran y Prif Weinidog.
English: Now the next item is the business statement and announcement, and I call on the leader of the house, Julie James.
Welsh: Nawr, yr eitem nesaf yw'r datganiad a chyhoeddiad busnes gan arweinydd y tŷ, Julie James.
English: Diolch, Llywydd. The only change to this week's business is to reduce the time allocated to questions to the Counsel General tomorrow. Draft business for the next three weeks is set out in the business statement and announcement, which can be found amongst the meeting papers available to Members electronically.
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd. Yr unig newid i fusnes yr wythnos hon yw lleihau'r amser sydd wedi ei neilltuo ar gyfer holi'r Cwnsler Cyffredinol yfory. Mae'r busnes drafft ar gyfer y tair wythnos nesaf wedi ei amlinellu yn y datganiad a'r cyhoeddiad busnes, y gellir eu gweld ymysg papurau'r cyfarfod sydd ar gael i'r Aelodau yn electronig.
