Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2024-25: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Gweinidog y Gymraeg ac Addysg
Diolch, a diolch i chi, Weinidog. Dwi ddim cweit yn siŵr, gyda phob parch, eich bod chi wedi ateb cwestiwn Tom yn llawn. Mae hwn yn sgrwtineiddio'r gyllideb. Nawr, dwi'n cytuno gyda'r dadansoddiad dŷch chi wedi amlinellu'r bore yma bod yn rhaid i bob un adran…

Dadl ar Ddatganiad: Cyllideb Ddrafft 2024-25
Wrth gwrs nad yw hynny'n ddefnydd da o arian cyhoeddus, ond nid yw'n wych i bobl chwaith. Yr hyn sy'n rhaid i ni ei wneud yw sicrhau—[Torri ar draws.] Yr hyn sy'n rhaid i ni ei wneud yw buddsoddi mewn pobl. A wyddoch chi, pan wy'n edrych o gwmpas Cymru a phan…

Mae gen i'r fantais dros yr Aelod dros Ddyffryn Clwyd achos mae gen i gof hirach nag ef, ac rwy'n cofio Rab Butler yn dweud rhywbeth gwahanol ar achlysur gwahanol. Rwyf hefyd yn cofio arweinydd Ceidwadol a fynychodd ddadleuon yn y lle hwn o'r enw—. Nick…

Rhaid imi ddweud, rwyf am ddechrau fy nghyfraniad y prynhawn yma drwy gydymdeimlo â'r Gweinidog. Agorodd y ddadl hon drwy esbonio'r anawsterau sy'n wynebu'r Llywodraeth a'r wlad o ran yr adnoddau sydd ar gael i ni, ac mae hi wedi gorfod treulio'r ddwy awr…

Cwestiynau i'r Prif Weinidog
Rwy'n ddiolchgar i chi, Llywydd. Rydym ni'n gwybod bod datganiad yr hydref wedi arwain at fwy o anghydraddoldeb, o fewn cymdeithasau unigol a ledled y Deyrnas Unedig. Dangoswyd hynny eisoes gan y dadansoddiad o ddatganiad yr hydref. Ond, neithiwr, digwyddodd…

I thought that the Minister had answered a lot of those questions through earlier questions.
11 Rhagfyr 2023 , Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Bil Cyllid Llywodraeth Leol (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Okay. I'm grateful.

And just for the public record, my assumption is that the Government will give an undertaking to consult before exercising those powers.

And the statement of policy intent refers to the Bill enabling in-year changes to council tax reduction schemes. I'm interested as to how you would see that happening in year.

You're also taking powers to change the reference point for calculating council tax from band D. I was interested to understand how you would anticipate making use of the power and what impact you believe the use of that power would have.
11 Rhagfyr 2023 , Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Bil Cyllid Llywodraeth Leol (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Can we look at section 17 and the powers contained therein? Could you explain to us, Minister, how you intend to use those powers?

I think it's the principle of the balance of where the rightful powers of Government and the powers of the legislature rest. Finding that balance is the important part, and I would very much agree with the points that Adam Price has made in questioning you…

Well, let's try it, is it? Let's try it, because the conversation, which I enjoyed listening to, between the Minister and Adam Price, is one we've had before, of course, around the Finance Committee's consistent recommendations that the Government make use of…

Okay.

Bil Cyllid Llywodraeth Leol (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
I accept that, Minister. I've got no issue with that. A final question in this section would be about the Non-Domestic Rating Act 2023. You've mentioned, perhaps in passing, as you've been answering the questions, your relationship with the United Kingdom…

Bil Cyllid Llywodraeth Leol (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
I understand that. I appreciate those arguments and I have no issue with that at all. I'm just concerned that the argument is that we're providing these powers for Wales and the rest of it—I accept that—but we're actually providing a lot of powers to the…

You used interesting terminology in answering the questions, Minister, in terms of providing flexibility. It's a Bill that provides you with powers to do a wide range of things that aren't necessarily understood today. And by the time this Bill reaches the…
11 Rhagfyr 2023 , Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Bil Cyllid Llywodraeth Leol (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
No, but you can move forward with that proposal, surely.
11 Rhagfyr 2023 , Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee

But you can do that anyway.

Thank you. You've put forward a number of different proposals for reform in terms of local government finance recently. I'm not convinced that they all need legislation in terms of what you were proposing a few weeks ago. So, what does this Bill do? What's…

And this parent would like to hear that as well, I can tell you. Can I just ask you one more question, then, in terms of this wider remit? I said earlier that I like the philosophical approach, but I'm not sure about what it actually delivers in reality. And…

So, the relationship is good on a formal and informal basis, and that's a good thing. I'm glad to hear that. So, how does that affect your thinking and how do those conversations affect your thinking? For example, to what extent do you see yourselves as…

But going back to my earlier question, I think the committee would probably appreciate a bit more clarity from the amgueddfa on some of the answers we've had in terms of where we're going with—. We understand the answer to Llyr's question about the 'museum of…

Dwi'n cytuno gyda lot fawr o'r ateb athronyddol, os dŷch chi'n licio, Nia. Dwi ddim cweit yn siŵr amboutu realiti hynny, achos dwi ddim yn siŵr bod symud rhywbeth o'r brif amgueddfa yng Nghaerdydd i amgueddfa lot yn llai yn helpu pobl yn fy etholaeth i i gael…
