English: Diolch. Oh, Adam, Adam, Adam, I must say, I enjoyed your speech a little bit more than the motion itself. You did at least get to the glimmer of light at the end, which made it worth while me getting up in the morning, I suppose, and coming to work, and you did mention the budget at the end. Look, referring to the motion itself, I do like to be positive about some aspects of motions and there wasn't much that was positive in this motion, to be fair. I don't think this UK Government would proclaim to be the best thing since sliced bread, but I do think it does deserve a little bit more credit than you gave it there, at least, and in this motion. It's not my job to come here and defend the UK Government, even though it's my party that is in power there. It's my job to come here and represent my constituents in the National Assembly for Wales and to talk about what we can do here in this Chamber. And that's why I was a little disappointed by the tone of this motion, because I do think it rather dwells on the negative and doesn't talk about the positive: what we can do. [ Interruption.] If we can just turn to our amendments, we wish to note the £1.2 billion - [ Interruption.] You'll get a mention in a bit, Simon, don't worry. We wish to note the £1.2 billion increase in the Welsh budget over four years as a result of this budget. Now, I know I'm going to anticipate the finance Secretary's response later in saying that a proportion of that money is financial transaction capital. This was mentioned by the Chair of the Finance Committee in the session we had earlier. It's a term that's reared its head and I'm not sure it is the talk of breakfast tables up and down Wales, but as the finance Secretary will probably tell us, it does make it more difficult to deploy. But, as I'm sure the finance Secretary would recognise, it is at least more money coming to us than we had before, and that's key to this budget: there is additional money coming to Wales, so it is not all doom and gloom. We must, of course, welcome the proportion of that additional finance that is coming to Wales as a direct result of the hard-fought fiscal framework negotiated between the Welsh Government and the UK Government. As the Cabinet Secretary has said, very fairly, it's not an enormous sum of money in terms of the Welsh budget as a whole, but it is additional money that would not have happened without this agreement, and I pay credit to him in those negotiations, and indeed the UK Government. I'm pleased that I had a small role as well, along the way, in helping with that process. I'm not even saying we should shut the door on future Barnett reform. I think there is still a case, which we don't tend to talk about anymore, but there is still a long-term case, I think, to review the mechanisms that fund Wales overall. Perhaps that can be done in conjunction with the fiscal framework, because I think all of us here would want to have the best deal for Wales possible, and over time, financing mechanisms do become out of date. So, hopefully that can be discussed in future when we're looking at the UK's budget allocations. Of course, our amendment also notes progress that has been made with the north Wales growth deal. We've called for that for a long time. It's in this budget, so it's good news. I didn't hear it get a mention - I might have missed it. It didn't seem to get a mention in Adam Price's comments. It didn't seem to be mentioned in the motion, either. How many times do Members in this Chamber, particularly Members from the north of Wales, stand up and say in debates that we don't think that there's enough going to the north of the country, and that there's not enough going to rural parts of Wales? So, here is an example where there is a focus on a part of Wales. Adam Price is quite right, parts of Wales have been neglected in the past, and here there is an attempt, at least, to in some way rectify that. I heard what you said on the progress, or lack of progress as you saw it, with the Swansea bay tidal lagoon, and we will continue to call for that. We believe that the tidal lagoon is a very important piece of infrastructure for the Welsh economy. Okay, it might not have been prevalent in this budget, but it is well-known that we are still calling for that tidal lagoon - and not just this party, of course, but the party opposite and the party of government. It's very close to Mike Hedges's heart as well, I know, so we will continue to look for progress on that. Of course, we are getting electrification of the Great Western Railway line - to Cardiff, I admit, before you jump up. The Severn tolls are being scrapped. How long have we been calling for that? That's good news, isn't it? So, that's another glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel, or at the end of the bridge, if you pardon the pun. So, that's a commitment from the UK Government that's going to happen. Also, of course, there's the commitment of the UK Government to fund the future maintenance of that bridge, without that cost falling solely upon us here in Wales. So, that's good as well. Let's acknowledge the positives. If I can just mention the Welsh Government amendment very briefly, I was rather bemused that it deletes point 4 of the motion and then reinstates it in a reworded format that basically says the same thing, but tries to blame the UK Government instead of blaming the Welsh Government. But I won't intervene in private grief between Plaid and Labour on that. Adam Price, you made some very good points - as you always do, to be fair - but I do think you could have been a little bit more upbeat about the prospects for our economy. I'm grateful you didn't mention the 'B' word, because I think we've all had enough of that being mentioned over the last few weeks. But there is more than a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel, and let's all of us in this Assembly work together to send a positive message to the UK Government: yes, give us more support in the future, but at least we're getting somewhere.
Welsh: Diolch. O, Adam, Adam, Adam, rhaid imi ddweud, fe fwynheias eich araith ychydig yn fwy na'r cynnig ei hun. Fe wnaethoch o leiaf gyrraedd y llygedyn o oleuni ar y diwedd, gan ei gwneud hi'n werth i mi godi yn y bore, mae'n debyg, a dod i'r gwaith, ac fe sonioch am y gyllideb ar y diwedd. Edrychwch, gan gyfeirio at y cynnig ei hun, rwy'n hoffi bod yn gadarnhaol ynglŷn â rhai agweddau ar gynigion ac nid oedd llawer yn gadarnhaol yn y cynnig hwn, a bod yn deg. Nid wyf yn credu y buasai Llywodraeth bresennol y DU yn datgan mai hi yw'r peth gorau ers cyn cof, ond rwy'n meddwl ei bod yn haeddu ychydig mwy o glod nag a roesoch iddi yno o leiaf, ac yn y cynnig hwn. Nid fy ngwaith i yw dod yma i amddiffyn Llywodraeth y DU, er mai fy mhlaid sydd mewn grym yno. Fy ngwaith i yw dod yma i gynrychioli fy etholwyr yng Nghynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru ac i siarad am yr hyn y gallwn ei wneud yma yn y Siambr hon. A dyna pam roeddwn braidd yn siomedig ynglŷn â chywair y cynnig hwn, oherwydd rwy'n credu ei fod yn oedi braidd ar y negyddol ac nid yw'n sôn am y cadarnhaol: yr hyn y gallwn ei wneud. [ Torri ar draws.] Os cawn droi at ein gwelliannau, rydym eisiau nodi'r £1.2 biliwn - [ T orri ar draws.] Byddaf yn sôn amdanoch mewn ychydig, Simon, peidiwch â phoeni. Hoffem nodi'r cynnydd o £1.2 biliwn yng nghyllideb Cymru dros bedair blynedd o ganlyniad i'r gyllideb hon. Nawr, rwy'n gwybod fy mod yn mynd i ragweld ymateb yr Ysgrifennydd cyllid yn nes ymlaen drwy ddweud bod cyfran o'r arian hwnnw'n gyfalaf trafodiadau ariannol. Soniwyd am hyn gan Gadeirydd y Pwyllgor Cyllid yn ystod y sesiwn a gawsom yn gynharach. Mae'n derm sydd wedi codi'i ben ac nid wyf yn siŵr fod pobl yn ei drafod wrth y bwrdd brecwast ledled Cymru, ond fel y bydd yr Ysgrifennydd cyllid yn sicr o ddweud wrthym, mae'n ei gwneud yn anos ei ddefnyddio. Ond fel rwy'n siŵr y buasai'r Ysgrifennydd cyllid yn cydnabod, o leiaf mae'n fwy o arian yn dod i ni nag a oedd gennym o'r blaen, ac mae hynny'n allweddol i'r gyllideb hon: mae arian ychwanegol yn dod i Gymru, felly nid yw pethau'n gwbl ddiobaith. Wrth gwrs, rhaid inni groesawu'r gyfran o'r cyllid ychwanegol sy'n dod i Gymru o ganlyniad uniongyrchol i fframwaith cyllidol yr ymladdwyd yn galed amdano ac a negodwyd rhwng Llywodraeth Cymru a Llywodraeth y DU. Fel y dywedodd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet yn deg iawn, nid yw'n swm anferth o arian o safbwynt cyllideb Cymru yn ei chyfanrwydd, ond mae'n arian ychwanegol na fuasai wedi digwydd heb y cytundeb hwn, ac rwy'n talu teyrnged iddo yn y trafodaethau hynny, ac yn wir i Lywodraeth y DU. Rwy'n falch fy mod wedi cael rôl fach i'w chwarae ar hyd y ffordd, yn helpu gyda'r broses honno. Nid wyf hyd yn oed yn dweud y dylid cau'r drws ar ddiwygio Barnett yn y dyfodol. Credaf fod yna achos o hyd, nad ydym yn tueddu i siarad amdano mwyach, ond mae yna achos hirdymor, rwy'n credu, dros adolygu'r mecanweithiau sy'n ariannu Cymru'n gyffredinol. Efallai y gellir gwneud hynny ar y cyd â'r fframwaith cyllidol, oherwydd credaf y buasai pob un ohonom yma am gael y fargen orau sy'n bosibl i Gymru, a dros amser, mae dulliau ariannu'n dyddio. Felly, gobeithio y gellir trafod hynny yn y dyfodol pan fyddwn yn edrych ar ddyraniadau cyllideb y DU. Wrth gwrs, mae ein gwelliant hefyd yn nodi cynnydd a wnaed ar fargen twf gogledd Cymru hefyd. Rydym wedi galw am hynny ers amser hir. Mae yn y gyllideb hon, felly mae'n newyddion da. Ni chlywais i hynny'n cael sylw - efallai fy mod wedi colli hynny. Nid oedd i'w weld yn cael ei grybwyll yn sylwadau Adam Price. Nid oedd i'w weld yn cael ei grybwyll yn y cynnig, ychwaith. Pa mor aml y mae Aelodau yn y Siambr hon, yn enwedig Aelodau o ogledd Cymru, yn sefyll ar eu traed i ddweud mewn dadleuon nad ydym yn credu bod digon yn mynd i ogledd y wlad, ac nad oes digon yn mynd i rannau gwledig o Gymru? Felly, dyma enghraifft lle y ceir ffocws ar ran o Gymru. Mae Adam Price yn iawn, mae rhannau o Gymru wedi cael eu hesgeuluso yn y gorffennol, a dyma ymgais, o leiaf, i unioni hynny mewn rhyw ffordd. Clywais yr hyn a ddywedoch am y cynnydd, neu'r diffyg cynnydd fel roeddech chi'n ei weld, ar forlyn llanw bae Abertawe, a byddwn yn parhau i alw am hynny. Credwn fod y morlyn llanw yn ddarn pwysig iawn o seilwaith ar gyfer economi Cymru. Iawn, efallai nad yw wedi bod yn flaenllaw yn y gyllideb hon, ond mae'n hysbys ein bod yn dal i alw am y morlyn llanw hwnnw - ac nid y blaid hon yn unig, wrth gwrs, ond y blaid gyferbyn a phlaid y Llywodraeth. Mae'n agos iawn at galon Mike Hedges yn ogystal, rwy'n gwybod, felly byddwn yn parhau i edrych am gynnydd ar hynny. Wrth gwrs, rydym yn cael trydaneiddio rheilffordd y Great Western - i Gaerdydd, rwy'n cyfaddef, cyn i chi neidio ar eich traed. Mae tollau Hafren yn cael eu dileu. Pa mor hir y buom yn galw am hynny? Mae hynny'n newyddion da, onid yw? Felly, dyna lygedyn arall o olau ar ben draw'r twnnel, neu ar ben draw'r bont, os maddeuwch y chwarae ar eiriau. Felly, dyna ymrwymiad gan Lywodraeth y DU sy'n mynd i ddigwydd. Hefyd, wrth gwrs, ceir ymrwymiad Llywodraeth y DU i ariannu gwaith cynnal a chadw ar y bont honno yn y dyfodol, heb i ni orfod ysgwyddo'r gost i gyd yma yng Nghymru. Felly, mae hynny'n dda hefyd. Gadewch i ni gydnabod y pethau cadarnhaol. Os caf grybwyll gwelliant y Llywodraeth yn fyr iawn, roeddwn yn synnu braidd ei bod yn dileu pwynt 4 y cynnig ac yna'n ei adfer mewn fformat wedi'i aralleirio sy'n dweud yr un peth yn y bôn, ond yn ceisio beio Llywodraeth y DU yn hytrach na beio Llywodraeth Cymru. Ond nid wyf am ymyrryd mewn galar preifat rhwng Plaid Cymru a Llafur ar hynny. Adam Price, fe wnaethoch rai pwyntiau da iawn - fel y gwnewch bob amser, a bod yn deg - ond rwy'n meddwl y gallech fod wedi bod ychydig yn fwy gobeithiol ynglŷn â'r rhagolygon i'n heconomi. Rwy'n ddiolchgar na wnaethoch sôn am y gair 'B', oherwydd credaf fod pob un ohonom wedi cael digon ar glywed hwnnw'n cael ei grybwyll dros yr ychydig wythnosau diwethaf. Ond mae mwy na llygedyn o olau ar ben draw'r twnnel, a gadewch i bob un ohonom yn y Cynulliad hwn weithio gyda'n gilydd i anfon neges gadarnhaol at Lywodraeth y DU: ie, rhowch fwy o gymorth i ni yn y dyfodol, ond o leiaf rydym yn cyrraedd rhywle.
