Datganiad gan y Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol: Rhoi Llesiant Cenedlaethau'r Dyfodol ar Waith yn Genedlaethol
Diolch yn fawr, Llywydd. Mae datblygu cynaliadwy wedi bod wrth wraidd datganoli yng Nghymru o'r cychwyn cyntaf. Yn 2015, gwnaeth y Senedd hon benderfyniad hanesyddol i newid cwrs Cymru a'i rhoi ar lwybr mwy cynaliadwy drwy basio Deddf Llesiant Cenedlaethau'r…

Diolch yn fawr, Jack Sargeant. Rhaid mai dyna'r ymateb mwyaf pwerus i gwestiwn gwreiddiol Joyce, gan Jack Sargeant. Mae'n siarad nid yn unig am 25 Tachwedd, am Ddiwrnod y Rhuban Gwyn, ond drwy gydol y flwyddyn, fel llysgennad Rhuban Gwyn, am drais dynion, am…

Diolch yn fawr, Sioned Williams, ac fe'ch clywais yn codi'r cwestiwn ddoe yn y Senedd, yn y datganiad busnes. A diolch am godi'r mater hollbwysig hwnnw ynglŷn ag ymyrraeth gynnar, atal a rôl y sefydliadau arbenigol, sy'n rhoi cryn dipyn o gymorth inni…

Wel, a gaf fi ddiolch i Joyce Watson am ofyn y cwestiwn hwn y prynhawn yma, yn dilyn fy natganiad ddoe, ac yn wir, am ei hymrwymiad hirdymor, hirsefydlog i ymladd trais yn erbyn menywod, ymhell cyn iddi gael ei hethol i’r Senedd hyd yn oed? Ac i Aelodau…

Diolch i Joyce Watson am ei chwestiwn. Ddoe, gwneuthum ddatganiad ar ddiogelwch menywod mewn mannau cyhoeddus. Yng Nghymru, rydym yn datblygu ein strategaeth trais yn erbyn menywod, cam-drin domestig a thrais rhywiol i gynnwys ffocws ar drais yn erbyn menywod…

Thank you very much, Altaf. You know I made a statement on Tuesday in the Senedd and you responded to it as did other colleagues here today. I'm getting daily updates on this, and I think my next step will be a written statement, probably over the next few…

Thank you. I will certainly take that back to my next meeting with the Minister for Education and the Welsh Language. Absolutely critical, and I think many of us have got daughters who are either on school buses or walking, and still are. This is crucially…

Well, thank you very much, Jack, for the question and for the White Ribbon; it reminds us that it's only a few weeks until the day when we all are together with our White Ribbons, the elimination of violence international day where we unite. And to our new…

Thank you very much, Chair. Well, this has been my question ever since May, since the election: how are we going to progress with securing the women's residential centre? What has been good is that the people who are responsible for actually working with…

Thank you very much, Altaf. Well, I know Claire mentioned—and indeed, Jane—California; there's the Finnish project. There are projects all over the world, actually, and, again, we would want to give that context, I think, in my statement. Rather than going…

Well, I think, Altaf, you will get a lot more information when I make my statement covering those points.

Well, that ended up with a very big question, Sioned, but because we've certainly engaged with Scottish colleagues at official level, I know Claire and officials have been looking—. Of course, they've moved on to looking at the minimum income guarantee, and…

Diolch yn fawr, Jane. It will give—. The statement will give as much detail as possible in terms of timescales and scoping of this pilot, and costings. We're obviously looking at every bit of evidence we can get. We've talked about it, Jane, as well, haven't…

Thank you very much, Jack; I remember the debate well and how you brought this to the Senedd. I just wanted to go back to, in a sense, Altaf's question about the pilot, because this is about how we do alleviate poverty—is this one of the levers, one of the…

Thank you very much, Altaf. And, of course, we set out with a commitment to look at and pilot a basic income scheme. And very, very early on, I think, in terms of making a statement, I made a ministerial statement and answered questions about it, and said…

Thank you very much, Vikki. This is crucial because of the role that the voluntary sector played during the pandemic, and that inquiry that was undertaken by the committee was so important. I think what has been great, in terms of the response, is that we…

Maybe I need to come in on that one, before we go on to—[Inaudible.]. I probably have begun to answer some of those points, in terms of those recommendations, but, of course, there were recommendations that related to childcare, particularly in terms of that…

Thank you very much, Altaf Hussain. These are key questions, which very much link to our employability and skills programmes, and so, again, a very early meeting I had bilaterally with the Minister for Economy, Vaughan Gething, was about the employability…

We've had a gender budgeting pilot with personal learning accounts. This was one of the recommendations that came out of the gender equality review, and, in fact, it's the responsibility of the finance Minister to take that forward and assess its outcomes. I…

Well, this is again where the sorts of powers and responsibilities of other Ministers are so crucial in terms of tackling poverty, the cross-government tackling poverty responsibilities. And one of the first meetings, the bilaterals I had, was with Julie…

Thank you very much, Jane, and great to see you as well on this committee, and I welcome your scrutiny as well. Quite clearly, in terms of gender, the fact that there has been a gender equality review, which was before we got to our race equality action plans…

It's been one of the most successful schemes or initiatives that we've undertaken in terms of tackling child poverty. The pilots have been very valuable and we're looking at the impact of the pilots, so I certainly hope that we will, in the next phase of…

That's a crucially important point, because we can discuss how we tackle poverty and strategies and plans, but actually we know that there is more we can do here and now. We talked about the discretionary assistance fund last week and how we need to extend it…

In terms of tackling poverty, as I said, it is—and you rightly recognise—a cross-Government responsibility, and particularly a responsibility in terms of tackling child poverty. We have our child poverty strategy, and I recently also announced the outcomes of…
