Cwestiynau i Weinidog yr Economi
Iawn. Felly, credaf mai'r hyn a ddywedais yn y pwyllgor—ac rwy’n fwy na pharod i fynd yn ôl dros y trawsgrifiad, ond yr hyn y gwn i mi ei ddweud yn y pwyllgor oedd fy mod yn cael sgyrsiau gyda’n holl randdeiliaid, boed gydag URC neu eraill, lle mae rhai…
24 Mai 2023 , Cyfarfod Llawn
Cwestiynau i Weinidog yr Economi
Mae’r cyfarfod a gefais gyda Tonia Antoniazzi wedi'i gofnodi, a byddai hwnnw wedi bod ar gael o’r cais rhyddid gwybodaeth, fel y dywedwch. Nid oes unrhyw gyfrinach am hynny. Credaf y byddai cofnodion y cyfarfod hwnnw wedi’u crybwyll yn y llythyrau, yn yr…

Okay, we’ll certainly take that back and have a look at it. Thank you.

I would hope so, because, certainly, the Welsh Government energy service engages regularly with the chief leisure officers group to make sure that all the best available advice is provided. And last September, we had an energy costs webinar that was arranged…

Thanks for that question, Joel. I think I go back to the point that I've made in answering a number of questions today, about two things. One is that the level of local authority funding has increased significantly, including capital funding, and so it is a…

I wouldn't dare. I don't know whether the Minister for local government would—[Laughter.] I think you're right, it is horses for courses. I have two local authorities in my constituency. One provides direct leisure services, the other one is a trust. Which…

If they're an independent community organisation, they can apply direct. They would only have to go through the local authority if they're a local authority facility. But if they're an independent, registered community organisation—sport organisation—then…

All the costs that you've referred to are well known to us and, as you will imagine, Swim Wales and other organisations are regularly advising us of the difficulties that they are facing. Of course, we do continue to support swimming activity, which is free…

I'm not an expert in the field of energy efficiency schemes, Chair, but we clearly do have a net-zero ambition, so we do want to make sure that we've got energy-efficient schemes in all of these establishments. We would put in place, or work with the local…

Right, so, £1.2 million divided between them is £10,000. That's one month's energy bill. That isn't a solution. The solution is long-term energy efficiency. I understand all of the pressures and the difficulties that all of these pools and leisure centres are…

Well, what I would say to you, we've got 120 swimming pools in Wales, and £1.2 million—

Gwasanaethau Llyfrgell a Hamdden Awdurdodau Lleol - Tystiolaeth gan Ddirprwy Weinidog y Celfyddydau, Chwaraeon a Thwristiaeth
Well, I think it's important to put on record here that we have called on and continue to call on the UK Government to use its policy levers around energy costs. That is not a devolved matter. That is a matter for the UK Government and, as you know, leisure…

Gwasanaethau Llyfrgell a Hamdden Awdurdodau Lleol - Tystiolaeth gan Ddirprwy Weinidog y Celfyddydau, Chwaraeon a Thwristiaeth
Okay. It's interesting the way you framed that question, because you haven't said, 'Will you be spending that £3.5 million on swimming pools?', because I think that is the important principle of devolution, is that any consequential that we get is a matter…

So, the evidence that we have on this is through the discussions that we've had with those particular local authorities. I'm not aware that that's been published, Mary, has it?

I think all of those are fair points and fair challenges. I mean, transport is challenging in most areas at the moment, as we know. And I very much welcomed the transport Minister's announcement yesterday, which is about bridging the gap, particularly with…

Yes. I think you'll see, Sam, there's a theme emerging here, because what my response to that is going to be is: I think that's very much a matter for the local authority, because, again, it is very much horses for courses. So, where we have seen co-location…
