Cwestiynau i'r Prif Weinidog
Wel, Llywydd, ers y cyfweliad hwnnw, mae'r Gweinidog wedi ysgrifennu ataf yn gofyn y dylid ymchwilio i'r honiadau hynny o dan god y gweinidogion. Felly, rwyf i wedi cytuno i hynny. Bydd ymchwiliad annibynnol i'r honiadau, a phan fydd yr ymchwiliad hwnnw…

Cwestiynau i'r Prif Weinidog
Llywydd, diolch i Alun Davies am hynna, oherwydd mae'n iawn i ddweud bod llawer iawn o ddiddordeb i Gymru yn yr hyn yr oedd Llywodraeth y DU yn ei gyflwyno o ran Gogledd Iwerddon. Os yw'n fformiwla wirioneddol seiliedig ar anghenion y maen nhw'n ei chynnig ar…

Cwestiynau i'r Prif Weinidog
Llywydd, gadewch i mi fod yn glir, nid oes unrhyw asesiad sy'n seiliedig ar anghenion yn y cyllid yn y fframwaith cyllidol; mae'n gyllid gwaelodol o'r math a argymhellodd Holtham. Ond yn syml, nid yw'r syniad ei fod yn seiliedig ar anghenion yn wir—nid yw…

Cwestiynau i'r Prif Weinidog
Wel, Llywydd, nid oes angen i Aelodau ddibynnu ar fy asesiad i yn unig; gallen nhw ddibynnu ar asesiad y Ganolfan Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol, a sefydlwyd gan Iain Duncan Smith, a adroddodd ddoe fod y rhaniad cymdeithasol yn y Deyrnas Unedig heddiw o ddyfnder na…

Cwestiynau i'r Prif Weinidog
Wel, Llywydd, ers dros ddegawd, mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi cymryd camau i liniaru effaith cyllidebau gostyngol ar ein gwasanaethau cyhoeddus. Bydd y dychweliad i gyni cyllidol llawn yn natganiad yr hydref yn gwneud lliniaru yn anoddach fyth. Byddwn yn…

Cwestiynau i'r Prif Weinidog
Wel, Llywydd, mae gwasanaethau bysiau dan bwysau ym mhobman. Mae llai o deithwyr yn golygu llai o refeniw i gefnogi'r rhwydwaith blaenorol o lwybrau. Ond, yn ardal Dwyfor Meirionnydd, bydd Cyngor Gwynedd yn dechrau gwasanaeth T22 newydd yn gynnar yn 2024, a…

Cwestiynau i'r Prif Weinidog
Wel, diolch i'r Aelod am y cwestiwn, Llywydd. Rydyn ni’n gweithio gyda Trafnidiaeth Cymru a Chyngor Gwynedd i wella’r gwasanaethau bws sy’n cael eu darparu'n lleol yn ardal Dwyfor Meirionnydd. Mae hyn yn cynnwys y gwelliannau sydd wedi cael eu gwneud yn…

No, it's for agreement, because there are sums of money set aside to support the co-operation agreement. As you say, inevitably, it isn't an exact match and you get it right on the very first day. When you have to move away from that, that is done by…

Myself, I will continue to make the case with my own colleagues that the only way we will achieve Senedd reform is if we are prepared to be half-a-loafers. If anybody thinks that they're going to get everything exactly as they would prefer it, they're going…

Of course, we will attend carefully to any proposals that come out of the committee and any amendments that are laid during the passage of the Bill. We will take those as seriously as you would expect, and then we will discuss together what our response to…

Public sector pension funds are there for the long haul. They want to invest in things that will give them a return over 40 years, and I think there is a growing recognition by those pension funds that the people whose funds are invested in them want to do…

Yes, they are different organisations, but they're complementary organisations, because they are both, in the end, about community ownership of our natural resources. Trydan Gwyrdd will be in the more commercial space. It will do things as a public developer…

Well, the study is linked to the Burns commission work in north Wales as well. That, I think, will be published—. It's for the commission to decide, not me, but I think they are hoping to publish before Christmas, their north Wales final study, so we will…

The work is completed [correction: nearly completed]. It hasn't come to Rhun or myself; it's being pursued between the designated Member and the Minister. What I have seen of it, the Welsh Government is broadly supportive of the conclusions of that work. I…

Well, Chair, there's no underspend in the co-operation agreement childcare commitments. The underspend is in the childcare offer, which is not part of the co-operation agreement. That is part of the Government's wider childcare provision, which has been there…

Well, as I said, I think it will be pursued in a number of different contexts. It will be pursued in the review of the regulations of school meals themselves—that will be the most powerful way—but it will be also pursued through the reform of our procurement…

Well, it's not the dominant part in public procurement, but it is an important part, isn't it? When we were talking about our free-school-meals ambitions, there are a range of different things that we're trying to achieve through a single policy. Rhun has…

Well, the agreement, in relation to free school meals, wasn't simply an agreement over volume. It was also an agreement over quality, and making sure that the quality of the meals that are provided in our primary schools meet some of those tests of local…

Well, it will depend, crucially, upon future budgets available to the Welsh Government. What we mustn't do, I think—and I talk to my colleagues about this a bit—is we mustn't talk ourselves into a belief that the current, very difficult position is typical…

Well, it's just important to say, Chair, isn't it, that, yes, it is frozen at that level, but that level is a considerably higher level than it was the year before, so there was a very significant uplift in the housing support grant, and the struggle has been…

Not at the level of the agreement itself. I'm not saying to you that there have not been some days when a member of my group has said to me, 'Have you seen the press release that was put out?' in some ward in their area, which they maybe didn't feel was an…

I can't think of any surprises that strike me immediately. You're going to give us one, now, Mark—you're going to say, 'Well, what about this?' [Laughter.]

Well, Chair, there's a long back history to this, isn't there? The Labour Party has never won a majority in an election to the Senedd, and we've always had to find working arrangements with other parties in order to be able to deliver a programme for…

It is protected, Chair, in the way that I described. The funding for the agreement is ring-fenced within the Welsh Government's overall budget. As Rhun said earlier, people shouldn't forget that, in the broader scheme of the £20 billion, this is a relatively…

Chair, I'm not sure that I can recite them all, admittedly, from memory, but they're not a secret. I think the finance Minister is happy to share them, but they would include—just to give you some immediate ones—of course, childcare and universal free school…
