Cynnig Cydsyniad Deddfwriaethol ar y Bil Diogelwch Ar-lein
Diolch, Llywydd. Wrth gloi'r ddadl, yn gyntaf oll, a gaf i ddiolch i'r Aelodau hynny am eu sylwadau a'u barn y prynhawn yma? Mewn ymateb i'r pwyntiau a wnaed, yn enwedig gan Peredur Owen Griffiths, ac rwy'n cydnabod gwrthwynebiad egwyddorol Plaid Cymru i…

Cynnig Cydsyniad Deddfwriaethol ar y Bil Diogelwch Ar-lein
Diolch, Llywydd. Rwy'n cynnig ac yn argymell bod y Senedd yn cydsynio i ddarpariaethau perthnasol y Bil Diogelwch Ar-lein, fel yr amlinellir yn y pum caniatâd deddfwriaethol a gyflwynwyd hyd yma. Drwy'r Bil hwn, mae Llywodraeth y DU yn ceisio sefydlu…

Cynnig Cydsyniad Deddfwriaethol ar y Bil Troseddau Economaidd a Thryloywder Corfforaethol
Diolch, Llywydd. Dim ond i ddweud yn fyr iawn na fyddwn o reidrwydd yn anghytuno â phryderon Peredur am oligarchiaid a chysylltiadau Rwsiaidd yn y DU. Fodd bynnag, nod y Bil yw cryfhau ffiniau'r DU mewn ymateb i droseddau economaidd yn benodol, gan roi pwerau…

There absolutely has been, and will continue to be. It's a very important sector, and it does remain a priority for Creative Wales. We have provided £9 million for music venues, to help support music venues. A lot of the music venues are very small venues, of…

Well, certainly, we supported cinemas through COVID. Clearly, they had significant access to the cultural recovery fund, as did other cultural venues. So, we did what we could to support them through that period. But, beyond that, what we have done is we've…

I think, really, that's just following on from what Gerwyn was talking about earlier on, particularly the Criw scheme that we developed—initially started in south Wales, moved to north Wales. So, I think there's—. Really, there's nothing much more I can add…

Again, we're doing a lot of work in that area. We're making funding available for Welsh language productions. Our memorandum of understanding that we have both with S4C and the BBC has got a specific commitment in there to Welsh language productions. That MOU…

I think it's certainly something we can explore. Just a few years ago, it was computer programming wasn't it? It was the skill that everybody was trying to acquire and we started to see all primary school having computers and iPads, and kids at a very young…

Following on from what Gerwyn was saying earlier on, we've got very close working connections with the universities in particular, but through Screen Alliance Wales we've also got a section on the Creative Wales website, which is now being developed, which is…

Yr heriau sy’n wynebu gweithlu’r diwydiant creadigol: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Dirprwy Weinidog y Celfyddydau, Chwaraeon a Thwristiaeth
To an extent, I suppose the short-term needs are due to the very nature of the sector, because it's productions and you have a production for a limited period of time. But, certainly, since I've been in post, I've been very well aware of the need to develop a…

Yr heriau sy’n wynebu gweithlu’r diwydiant creadigol: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Dirprwy Weinidog y Celfyddydau, Chwaraeon a Thwristiaeth
I'd like to think that we're doing a bit of both, because it is important that we do help to develop growth in other sectors, and that, certainly, is what our funding attempts to do. But, inevitably, when you have a very successful sector, then the demands on…

Yr heriau sy’n wynebu gweithlu’r diwydiant creadigol: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Dirprwy Weinidog y Celfyddydau, Chwaraeon a Thwristiaeth
All of the subsectors have been recipients of support from Creative Wales, but, inevitably, the production sector is the most successful, so it follows success, doesn't it, in that sense. I wouldn't agree that other sectors are not receiving the level of…

There may or there may not be. It may be that they haven't leveraged support because they don't necessarily need it. It's a very successful sector; it's a very successful industry. We've put something in the region of £0.5 million into that sector so far this…

Yr heriau sy’n wynebu gweithlu’r diwydiant creadigol: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Dirprwy Weinidog y Celfyddydau, Chwaraeon a Thwristiaeth
This is similar to a question that we had yesterday about, 'Does everybody in the public libraries and leisure sector know about the support available through the Wales energy schemes?', for instance. I think I'm always open to reviewing that, Tom, and…

Is it enough? Is anything ever enough? Everything we deliver, Tom, we could always do with more money, but £1 million a year I don't think is a bad start for a creative skills fund, and we've had a significant number of very positive projects that have…

Yr heriau sy’n wynebu gweithlu’r diwydiant creadigol: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Dirprwy Weinidog y Celfyddydau, Chwaraeon a Thwristiaeth
I don't accept that as a criticism, because I think we need to see how it works, don't we? You can't criticise something before it really starts. We're allocating £1 million a year for the creative skills fund, so that's not an insignificant amount of money.

Okay. I was just going to say I think that those are fair points, and particularly the challenges around transport. We had a very similar conversation yesterday, Carolyn, if you remember, in the Local Government and Housing Committee about accessing libraries…

And I think, to follow on from that, and to answer Carolyn's question about how do we ensure that some of this happens, I go back to the question earlier about, where we are directly funding organisations, of course, we can make that a funding condition, and…

Okay. So, there's a range of data sources that we gather to better understand equality and diversity. And again, I'm going to refer to Gerwyn, because this is very technical detail, and this is something that the team works on on a regular basis. Go on.

Well, I mean, what you report there is clearly what we've heard as well, and it is very concerning and it's very worrying. I think it is a reflection of society; we've seen it in other organisations. I mean, this committee had to do an inquiry around what was…
