English: Thank you for your statement and for our short meeting earlier, which was very helpful. Responding to your update on Ukraine statement here four weeks ago, I referred to your constructive relationship, which you've referred to again, with the former UK Government Minister for refugees, Lord Harrington, and asked how, based upon practical inter-governmental working relationships in Wales, you responded to his statement on resignation last month that the role was always meant to be temporary and that his work was essentially complete. I also asked what discussions you had had or were planning to have with the UK Government regarding a possible uplift to the monthly £350 payment to people hosting Ukrainians in their own homes, and again you've referred to that in your statement today. In your response then, you said that the job certainly wasn't done. Referring to the joint letter regarding these matters you had sent with your Scottish ministerial counterpart to the then new Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities and the then new Home Secretary, you stated that you would be, and I quote, 'very interested to see what reply we get'. Thank you for subsequently copying me into that letter. What, if any, reply did you receive? And if, given events elsewhere, you've not yet received a reply, how will you be following up on this once Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announces his Cabinet? In your reply to me, you stated that local leadership is crucially important in the provision of devolved service for which the Welsh Government is responsible. Following my reference to, for example, the need for English for speakers of other languages, or ESOL, lessons in person and online and for action to support skill and qualification transferability, something we also discussed earlier, what update can you provide on these matters, given your response then that you have fortnightly meetings on Ukraine, chaired by the Minister for Finance and Local Government? I refer to the document that I sent to you, produced by the Polish Integration Support Centre, or PISC, in Wrexham, detailing their humanitarian efforts to help Ukrainian refugees and the proposal for consolidated and sustainable support for Ukrainian people, including the construction of temporary housing. What engagement have you or your officials therefore subsequently had with them regarding this? More broadly, given that the latest figures show that 4,833 visa applications by people from Ukraine have been submitted with the Welsh Government as a supersponsor, that 4,564 have been issued with the Welsh Government as a supersponsor, and that 2,904 of the people who've arrived in the UK had the Welsh Government as a supersponsor, what is the current position regarding the pause to new applications for the Welsh Government supersponsor scheme announced in June? Both my colleague Russell George and I have received an e-mail saying, and I quote, 'I ask for Welsh Government help with a pilot project to use long-term empty housing units to provide short-term accommodation for Ukrainian refugees, using a short-life housing model of the kind implemented elsewhere since the 1980s.' Who is the best person to refer the sender to regarding this? Finally, I've previously referred you to the role played by faith groups in the Ukrainian link programme to support Ukrainians arriving in north Wales. In this context, what engagement have you had with the Catholic community regarding its response to the illegal and inhumane invasion of Ukraine, including the Catholic international development charity CAFOD's Ukrainian humanitarian appeal and dedicated emergency response team to reach people most in need, and the bishops' conference domestic social action agency, Caritas Social Action Network, or CSAN, which, with its partners, is supporting the relocation of refugees across the UK with the diocese and agencies of the church assisting the co-ordination efforts? Diolch.
Welsh: Diolch am eich datganiad ac am ein cyfarfod byr yn gynharach, a oedd yn ddefnyddiol iawn. Wrth ymateb i'ch diweddariad ar ddatganiad Wcráin yma bedair wythnos yn ôl, cyfeiriais at eich perthynas adeiladol, yr ydych chi wedi cyfeirio ati eto, gyda Gweinidog blaenorol Llywodraeth y DU dros ffoaduriaid, yr Arglwydd Harrington, a gofyn sut, ar sail perthnasoedd gweithio ymarferol rhyng-lywodraethol yng Nghymru, wnaethoch chi ymateb i'w ddatganiad adeg ei ymddiswyddiad fis diwethaf sef bod y swyddogaeth i fod yn un dros dro a bod ei waith yn ei hanfod yn gyflawn. Gofynnais hefyd pa drafodaethau yr oeddech wedi'u cael neu'n bwriadu eu cael gyda Llywodraeth y DU ynghylch cynnydd posibl i'r taliad misol o £350 i bobl sy'n lletya Wcreiniaid yn eu cartrefi eu hunain, ac unwaith eto rydych chi wedi cyfeirio at hynny yn eich datganiad heddiw. Yn eich ymateb chi bryd hynny, fe ddywedoch chi nad oedd y gwaith wedi ei gyflawni. Gan gyfeirio at y llythyr ynglŷn â'r materion hyn yr oeddech wedi'i anfon ar y cyd gyda'ch Gweinidog cyfatebol yn yr Alban at yr Ysgrifennydd Gwladol dros Ffyniant Bro, Tai a Chymunedau ar y pryd a'r Ysgrifennydd Cartref newydd ar y pryd, fe ddywedoch chi y byddech chi, ac rwy'n dyfynnu, 'â diddordeb mawr mewn gweld pa ateb a gawn'. Diolch am fy nghopïo i mewn i'r llythyr hwnnw wedyn. Pa ateb, os o gwbl, gawsoch chi? Ac os, o ystyried digwyddiadau mewn mannau eraill, nad ydych chi wedi cael ateb eto, sut fyddwch chi'n ymateb ar ôl i'r Prif Weinidog Rishi Sunak gyhoeddi ei Gabinet? Yn eich ateb i mi, fe ddywedoch fod arweinyddiaeth leol yn hanfodol bwysig yn narpariaeth y gwasanaeth datganoledig y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn gyfrifol amdano. Yn dilyn fy nghyfeiriad at, er enghraifft, yr angen am Saesneg i siaradwyr ieithoedd eraill, neu ESOL, gwersi personol ac ar-lein ac am weithredu i gefnogi trosglwyddo sgiliau a chymwysterau, rhywbeth a drafodwyd gennym hefyd yn gynharach, pa ddiweddariad gallwch ei ddarparu ar y materion hyn, o ystyried eich ymateb yna bod gennych gyfarfodydd bob pythefnos ar Wcráin, wedi'u cadeirio gan y Gweinidog Cyllid a Llywodraeth Leol? Rwy'n cyfeirio at y ddogfen a anfonais atoch, a gynhyrchwyd gan y Ganolfan Cefnogi Integreiddio Pwylaidd, neu PISC, yn Wrecsam, yn manylu ar eu hymdrechion dyngarol i helpu ffoaduriaid o Wcráin a'r cynnig am gefnogaeth gyfunol a chynaliadwy i bobl Wcráin, gan gynnwys adeiladu tai dros dro. Pa ymgysylltu fu rhyngoch chi neu eich swyddogion felly wedi hynny â nhw ynglŷn â hyn? Yn ehangach, o ystyried bod y ffigyrau diweddaraf yn dangos bod 4,833 o geisiadau fisa gan bobl o Wcráin wedi cael eu cyflwyno gyda Llywodraeth Cymru fel uwch-noddwr, bod 4,564 wedi eu cyhoeddi gyda Llywodraeth Cymru fel uwch-noddwr, a bod 2,904 o'r bobl sydd wedi cyrraedd y DU wedi cael Llywodraeth Cymru fel uwch-noddwr, beth yw'r sefyllfa bresennol o ran saib ceisiadau newydd yng Nghynllun uwch-noddwr Llywodraeth Cymru a gafodd ei gyhoeddi ym mis Mehefin? Mae fy nghyd-Aelod Russell George a minnau wedi cael e-bost yn dweud, ac rwy'n dyfynnu, 'Rwy'n gofyn am gymorth gan Lywodraeth Cymru gyda phrosiect treialu i ddefnyddio unedau tai gwag hirdymor i ddarparu llety tymor byr i ffoaduriaid o Wcráin, gan ddefnyddio model tai oes fer o'r math a weithredwyd mewn mannau eraill ers y 1980au.' Pwy yw'r person gorau y dylid cyfeirio'r anfonwr ato ynghylch hyn? Yn olaf, rwyf wedi eich cyfeirio chi o'r blaen at y rhan a chwaraewyd gan grwpiau ffydd yn rhaglen gyswllt Wcráin i gefnogi Wcreiniaid sy'n cyrraedd y gogledd. Yn y cyd-destun hwn, pa ymgysylltu ydych chi wedi'i gael â'r gymuned Gatholig ynglŷn â'i hymateb i'r ymosodiad anghyfreithlon ac annynol ar Wcráin, gan gynnwys apêl ddyngarol a thîm ymateb brys pwrpasol elusen yr Asiantaeth Gatholig ar gyfer Datblygu Tramor i gyrraedd pobl sydd fwyaf anghenus, ac asiantaeth gweithredu cymdeithasol domestig cynhadledd yr esgobion, Caritas Social Action Network, neu CSAN, sydd, gyda'i bartneriaid, yn cefnogi adleoli ffoaduriaid ar draws y DU gydag esgobaethau ac asiantaethau'r eglwys yn cynorthwyo'r ymdrechion cydlynu? Diolch.
