Darlledu Gwasanaeth Cyhoeddus yng Nghymru: sesiwn dystiolaeth gydag Ofcom (2)
Okay. Can I turn to Lord Grade? I'm grateful, Lord Grade, for your time this morning. You were appointed in the spring of this year, I understand, and up until your appointment, you took the Conservative whip in the House of Lords. How can I trust you to…

Yes, but that's the easy answer, with all due respect.

I'm grateful to you for that. So, do you think that Wales is currently fairly and properly represented within that broadcast ecology, or do you think that there are improvements to be made, assuming that you've made recommendations for improvements? I assume…

Darlledu Gwasanaeth Cyhoeddus yng Nghymru: sesiwn dystiolaeth gydag Ofcom (2)
I didn't suggest that you were, with due respect. What I said was you're a regulator, and that's different, because that means that you have tools where you can intervene in the market in order to ensure that there is fair representation. You've relied on…

Ofcom is very good at writing reports. We're always reading reports from Ofcom. I'm interested in what you're doing as a consequence of that report and that information and that knowledge. What have you been doing? How have you intervened in the market to…

Darlledu Gwasanaeth Cyhoeddus yng Nghymru: sesiwn dystiolaeth gydag Ofcom (2)
Sure, but you are also a regulator. So, how has your regulation and your role as a regulator increased Welsh representation in UK broadcasting? You said it was a priority for you, so I'd like to know what you've been doing and what Ofcom have been doing to…

Yes, but sorry, that's S4C. I find it difficult if Ofcom could claim credit for S4C producing Welsh language programmes in Wales.

I seem to remember, at the time, you said how excited you were to be joining Ofcom, and that your priorities included 'boosting broadband speeds in rural Wales' and 'enhancing Welsh representation in UK broadcasting'. I was wondering how that had gone.

Dwi ddim eisiau mynd lawr y llwybr ymyrraeth gormod; atebolrwydd, dwi'n credu, sy'n fwy pwysig, a sut dŷn ni'n sicrhau atebolrwydd seneddol, a ddim jest atebolrwydd i Lywodraeth ac atebolrwydd i San Steffan, achos mae yna sawl peth sy'n digwydd, yn arbennig…

Ie, ateb diddorol iawn. Ac rydych chi fel unigolyn wedi bod yn hael gyda'ch amser, yn dod i fan hyn am flynyddoedd i ateb cwestiynau seneddol, a dwi'n credu ein bod ni'n gwerthfawrogi hynny. Ond mae'n rhaid inni gael strwythurau mewn lle sydd yn delio â…

Dwi ddim yn awgrymu bod yna ymyrraeth gan y Llywodraeth—a dim hynny yw byrdwn fy nghwestiwn, fel mae’n digwydd—ond dŷn ni wedi gweld dirywiad yn y cynnwys Saesneg sy’n cael ei greu yng Nghymru ar gyfer Cymru—cynnwys Cymreig ar ITV ac ar y BBC. Dŷn ni wedi…

Ac ail ran y cwestiwn, wrth gwrs, yw annibyniaeth S4C. Fel dŷch chi’n gwybod, roeddwn i’n arfer gweithio i S4C ugain mlynedd yn ôl, ac un o'r pethau roedd pobl yn mynnu amddiffyn oedd annibyniaeth S4C ac annibyniaeth fel darlledwr annibynnol, a gobeithio y…
