English: Can I thank the Minister for his statement, and I very much welcome the vision for the new centre up at the top end of the Dulais valley, as Dai Lloyd said, an area that has obviously had mining in its past and is now looking to develop a new direction that you wish to go in in my neighbouring constituency of Neath? You mentioned a couple of points, I think, I want to raise with you, and I also welcome Neath Port Talbot and Powys councils for their vision in recognising the opportunities such a project will bring, and working together here is going to be critical in this move forward, and I'm very pleased that they've joined the Welsh Government in a joint agreement. The questions I want to raise: you mentioned universities - what discussions have you had with universities so that they are aware and they will be getting involved in the development and the research aspects that this offers? Because if you're talking about a chair, it's an across-the-UK opportunity for those universities, but have you had discussions with both Welsh and UK-wide universities as to the opportunities? Have you looked at UK research funding? You talk about Innovate UK research funding, and clearly the UK will have to put some funding into this - I'm not talking about EU funding now; I'm talking about Innovate UK funding - to look at how they're going to perceive this opportunity, so that they can actually invest into this? Network Rail is mentioned here, and you want Network Rail to actually look at their programme and how we can fit in. How far have those discussions gone as to how Network Rail will be looking at involvement in this project? And are they going to submit themselves at some point to actually say, 'Yes, we will use this centre as part of our programme as well?' That's going to be crucial, I think, to the future. I also want to ask about rail gauges. We all think that rail is one track, but, actually, there are various gauges available. Is the centre going to be looking at multiple gauges or a single gauge? Is it going to look at freight as well as passenger? Is it going to look at different rail gauges, because if you're going to attract European investment and European companies, you may need to look at different gauges to suit their needs as well? So, will the centre have a difference in the gauges being used, and, as a consequence, have you thought about that in the planning application? It's all well and good to say we're going to have a planning application, but what's it for? Is it just for the track, is it for the whole infrastructure, is it for the maintenance centre? Will the planning application be a totality, or will it be piecemeal in that sense as well? And finally, and Russell highlighted this, and I think it's important - the skills agenda. This, if it comes off and works, will, you said, initially give 150 permanent jobs, highly skilled jobs, some of those will be, and, as you highlighted, European colleagues have up to 400 or so. They're going to want a newer facility; if they've got one on the doorstep that is brand-new, they'll be looking at it. So, we could end up seeing quite an expansion as a consequence of this. Have you put into place plans to actually develop skills both of the existing workforce in the area, but also university graduate skills that come into this scheme, to ensure that we are able not just to have facilities, but that we can actually have the people who will work there?
Welsh: A gaf i ddiolch i'r Gweinidog am ei ddatganiad, ac rwy'n croesawu yn fawr y weledigaeth ar gyfer y ganolfan newydd ym mhen uchaf Cwm Dulais, fel y dywedodd Dai Lloyd, ardal sydd, yn amlwg, â hanes o fwyngloddio ac sydd bellach yn ystyried datblygu cyfeiriad newydd yr hoffech chi fynd iddi yn fy etholaeth gyfagos yng Nghastell-nedd? Fe wnaethoch chi gyfeirio at rai pwyntiau rwy'n credu, yr hoffwn i sôn wrthych chi yn eu cylch, ac rwy'n croesawu gweledigaeth cynghorau Castell-nedd Port Talbot a Phowys hefyd wrth gydnabod y cyfleoedd a ddaw yn sgil prosiect o'r fath, a bydd cydweithio yn hyn o beth yn hollbwysig yn y dyfodol, ac rwy'n falch iawn eu bod wedi ymuno â Llywodraeth Cymru mewn cytundeb ar y cyd. Y cwestiynau yr hoffwn i eu holi: fe wnaethoch chi sôn am brifysgolion - pa drafodaethau ydych chi wedi'u cael gyda phrifysgolion er mwyn iddyn nhw fod yn ymwybodol ac fel y byddant yn cymryd rhan yn y gwaith datblygu a'r agweddau ymchwil y mae hyn yn eu cynnig? Oherwydd os ydych chi'n sôn am gadair, mae'n gyfle ledled y Deyrnas Unedig i'r prifysgolion hynny, ond a ydych chi wedi cael trafodaethau gyda phrifysgolion Cymru a'r DU o ran y cyfleoedd? A ydych chi wedi edrych ar gyllid ymchwil y DU? Rydych chi'n sôn am ariannu ymchwil arloesol yn y DU, ac yn amlwg bydd yn rhaid i'r DU roi rhywfaint o arian at hyn - nid wyf yn sôn am gyllid yr UE yn awr; rwy'n sôn am ariannu arloesi yn y DU - i edrych ar sut maen nhw'n mynd i ystyried y cyfle hwn, fel y gallan nhw fuddsoddi mewn gwirionedd yn hyn? Mae sôn am Network Rail yma, ac rydych chi eisiau i Network Rail edrych mewn gwirionedd ar eu rhaglen a sut y gallwn ni fod yn rhan o hynny. Faint o drafodaeth a fu o ran sut y bydd Network Rail yn ystyried cymryd rhan yn y prosiect hwn? Ac a ydyn nhw'n mynd i ymrwymo eu hunain ar ryw adeg i ddweud mewn gwirionedd, 'byddwn, byddwn yn defnyddio'r ganolfan hon yn rhan o'n rhaglen hefyd'? Mae hynny'n mynd i fod yn hollbwysig, rwy'n credu, i'r dyfodol. Hoffwn ofyn hefyd am fesur rheilffyrdd. Rydym ni i gyd yn meddwl mai un trac yw'r rheilffordd, ond, mewn gwirionedd, mae sawl mesur ar gael. A fydd y ganolfan yn edrych ar sawl mesur neu fesur unigol? A yw'n mynd i ystyried cludo nwyddau yn ogystal â theithwyr? A yw'n mynd i ystyried rheilffyrdd o wahanol fesuriadau, oherwydd os ydych chi'n mynd i ddenu buddsoddiad Ewropeaidd a chwmnïau o Ewrop, efallai y bydd angen ichi edrych ar wahanol fesuriadau i ddiwallu eu hanghenion hwythau hefyd? Felly, a fydd y ganolfan yn gwahaniaethu o ran y mesur a ddefnyddir, ac, o ganlyniad, a ydych chi wedi meddwl am hynny yn y cais cynllunio? Mae'n iawn dweud ein bod ni'n mynd i gael cais cynllunio, ond beth yw'r diben? Ai ar gyfer y trac yn unig y mae, ai ar gyfer y seilwaith cyfan, ai ar gyfer y ganolfan gynnal a chadw? A fydd y cais cynllunio yn un cyfan, neu a fydd yn dameidiog yn yr ystyr hwnnw hefyd? Ac yn olaf, a thynnodd Russell sylw at hyn, ac rwy'n credu ei fod yn bwysig - yr agenda sgiliau. Bydd hyn, os bydd yn llwyddiannus ac yn gweithio, fel y gwnaethoch chi ddweud, yn creu 150 o swyddi parhaol yn y lle cyntaf, swyddi medrus iawn, y bydd rhai ohonyn nhw, ac, fel y gwnaethoch chi ddweud, mae gan y canolfannau cyffelyb yn Ewrop hyd at oddeutu 400. Byddan nhw eisiau cael cyfleuster mwy newydd; os oes un newydd sbon o fewn cyrraedd iddyn nhw, byddant yn rhoi ystyriaeth i hynny. Felly, yn y pen draw fe allem ni weld tipyn o ehangu o ganlyniad i hyn. A ydych chi wedi rhoi cynlluniau ar waith i ddatblygu sgiliau'r gweithlu presennol yn yr ardal, a hefyd y sgiliau i raddedigion mewn prifysgolion a fydd yn rhan o'r cynllun hwn, er mwyn sicrhau y gallwn ni nid yn unig gael cyfleusterau, ond y gallwn ni gael y bobl a fydd mewn gwirionedd yn gweithio yno?
