Thank you very much, Chair. Well, I'm the Minister for Social Justice. So, I have the prime responsibility for the violence against women and domestic abuse and sexual violence strategy, the implementation of the Act. And I really very much welcome your…

Dadl Aelodau o dan Reol Sefydlog 11.21(iv): Grymuso cymunedau
Yn olaf, a gaf fi roi sicrwydd i chi fod Llywodraeth Cymru yn cefnogi’r cynnig hwn heddiw? Credaf mai dyma'r cam cyntaf i ni o ran edrych ar lwybr cydgynhyrchiol ar gyfer ein polisi cymunedau newydd. Diolch yn fawr.

Diolch yn fawr iawn, Huw Irranca-Davies. Rwy'n falch iawn eich bod wedi gwneud yr ymyriad hwnnw ac wedi cydnabod egwyddorion nid yn unig y Blaid Gydweithredol, sydd wedi'u hymgorffori yng ngwerthoedd ac egwyddorion Llywodraeth Cymru hefyd, gan fod fy nhrydydd…

Dadl Aelodau o dan Reol Sefydlog 11.21(iv): Grymuso cymunedau
Mae hwn yn faes cymhleth o ran datblygu polisi cymunedol, a hoffwn symud ymlaen at hynny, a beth fydd hyn yn ei olygu o ran darparu’r gwasanaethau hynny ar lawr gwlad, a hefyd, gan gydnabod bod rhwystrau, fod hyn yn ymwneud â'r berthynas waith. Mae gennyf…

Diolch yn fawr, Lywydd dros dro, ac a gaf fi ddiolch i'r Aelodau am gyflwyno'r ddadl bwysig hon? I ddilyn yr hyn a ddywedodd nifer o'r Aelodau sydd wedi siarad heddiw, hoffwn ddweud fy mod innau hefyd yn falch o'r cyfle i gydnabod y miloedd o grwpiau…

Ymchwiliad i ddarparu safleoedd ar gyfer cymunedau Sipsiwn, Roma a Theithwyr—sesiwn dystiolaeth 5: y Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol
Diolch yn fawr, Mabon. I would just quickly say that we've just recently approved this partnership with the Fuel Bank Foundation, which is not just vouchers for pre-payment meters but also for off-grid, including access to Calor gas and oil. And I've already…

Ymchwiliad i ddarparu safleoedd ar gyfer cymunedau Sipsiwn, Roma a Theithwyr—sesiwn dystiolaeth 5: y Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol
Yes. It has to be ongoing. We've got opportunities to take stock, haven't we, in terms of monitoring, with the accommodation assessments coming through. But this is not just one-off, this is constant engagement from our officers. One of the things I haven't…

Ymchwiliad i ddarparu safleoedd ar gyfer cymunedau Sipsiwn, Roma a Theithwyr—sesiwn dystiolaeth 5: y Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol
I think that's a really good idea about town and community councillors, so we could add that in as well. And obviously there's lots of liaison between local authorities, unitary authorities and their town and community councils, so we could perhaps take that…

Ymchwiliad i ddarparu safleoedd ar gyfer cymunedau Sipsiwn, Roma a Theithwyr—sesiwn dystiolaeth 5: y Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol
It's in the statutory guidance, as well as in the legislation, that they should involve the Gypsy, Roma, Traveller community in their considerations of site provision, accommodation assessment et cetera. I think our anti-racist action plan measures and…

Ymchwiliad i ddarparu safleoedd ar gyfer cymunedau Sipsiwn, Roma a Theithwyr—sesiwn dystiolaeth 5: y Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol
Well, I've already mentioned my visit to Merthyr because I was very impressed with the fact that they've got designated local authority staff working with the Gypsy and Traveller community, and they obviously take this very seriously in terms of dedication to…

Ymchwiliad i ddarparu safleoedd ar gyfer cymunedau Sipsiwn, Roma a Theithwyr—sesiwn dystiolaeth 5: y Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol
Well, I think if we perhaps go back to our anti-racist Wales action plan, at the same time as drafting that and consulting on it, we were also very concerned about this forthcoming legislation, and we did agree that we would look at the guidance on managing…

Ymchwiliad i ddarparu safleoedd ar gyfer cymunedau Sipsiwn, Roma a Theithwyr—sesiwn dystiolaeth 5: y Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol
Yes. I co-chair the policing partnership board with the First Minister, and it's a really important partnership board. Actually, the Secretary of State for Wales attends those meetings, and Kit Malthouse also attended one of our meetings recently. We discuss…

Ymchwiliad i ddarparu safleoedd ar gyfer cymunedau Sipsiwn, Roma a Theithwyr—sesiwn dystiolaeth 5: y Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol
I did respond to this in my written evidence, and I will just go back to that to say—and this is pre the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act coming into force—that we raised repeated concerns with the UK Government about the provisions on unauthorised…

Ymchwiliad i ddarparu safleoedd ar gyfer cymunedau Sipsiwn, Roma a Theithwyr—sesiwn dystiolaeth 5: y Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol
Well, it's very clearly there in the action plan that we pilot additional new ways of funding permanent provision. And I would certainly want that to include private sites.

Ymchwiliad i ddarparu safleoedd ar gyfer cymunedau Sipsiwn, Roma a Theithwyr—sesiwn dystiolaeth 5: y Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol
Well, I don't think we would want to do that. This would be going right against the whole basis of Travelling Ahead, the Housing (Wales) Act 2014, and indeed, the commitment of local communities, and local elected members, to take their responsibilities and…

Ymchwiliad i ddarparu safleoedd ar gyfer cymunedau Sipsiwn, Roma a Theithwyr—sesiwn dystiolaeth 5: y Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol
Well, the essence of the legislation is that this is a local authority statutory duty. I think, as you will, clearly, agree, local authorities have got the responsibility and they certainly will want to make the decisions, and will make the decisions, in…

Ymchwiliad i ddarparu safleoedd ar gyfer cymunedau Sipsiwn, Roma a Theithwyr—sesiwn dystiolaeth 5: y Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol
As far as I'm concerned, absolutely, Sam, if there's land that we own, or indeed other public bodies, often health and local authorities, then the local authority has got every right and opportunity to look at that land. I don't think at the moment I can say…

Ymchwiliad i ddarparu safleoedd ar gyfer cymunedau Sipsiwn, Roma a Theithwyr—sesiwn dystiolaeth 5: y Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol
I've given you some figures already of the sites that we've funded between 2015 and 2021, so they're on record already in terms of new sites, new pitches, both construction and also for improvement and refurbishment.

Again, back to the anti-racist action plan, we're going to pilot additional and new ways of funding permanent provision and we're going to look at, for example, possible capital requirement for mobile home rental pilots. That's something that, again, has come…

Ymchwiliad i ddarparu safleoedd ar gyfer cymunedau Sipsiwn, Roma a Theithwyr—sesiwn dystiolaeth 5: y Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol
Thank you very much, Sam. We obviously have our capital grant, which is an annual capital grant. I think £3.5 million I said earlier on, or perhaps it was in my written evidence as well; it's £3.69 million for this financial year. That's our grant as it is at…
