Cwestiynau i Weinidog yr Economi
Wel, yn amlwg, nid ydych yn cytuno â'ch cyd-Aelod, y Gweinidog addysg, ond mae'n debyg y bydd yn rhaid inni aros i weld a ddaw'r syniad o greu cyngor economaidd newydd yn realiti yn nes ymlaen eleni. Nawr, yn y cyfamser, mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi cyhoeddi ei…

Cwestiynau i Weinidog yr Economi
Dim byd adeiladol i drawsnewid pethau, dim ond gwawdio gwleidyddol fel arfer. Efallai ei fod wedi treulio gormod o amser yn ymgyrchu yn ddiweddar yn hytrach na chanolbwyntio ar y swydd sydd ganddo ar hyn o bryd. Wel, Weinidog, nid dyna’r unig ddata sy’n peri…

Cwestiynau i'r Prif Weinidog
Prif Weinidog, yn sir Benfro, rhagwelir y bydd toriad o hyd at 50 y cant o ddechreuadau prentisiaethau newydd yn y flwyddyn gontract o fis Awst 2024, a fydd yn cael effaith fawr ar y sgiliau hyn yn yr ardal leol. Ac rwy'n derbyn yn llwyr y pwysau ar…

Cynnig o dan Reol Sefydlog 17.42(ix) i benderfynu gwahardd y cyhoedd o weddill y cyfarfod ac o ddechrau'r cyfarfod ar 18 Ionawr 2024

You mentioned, obviously, some of the opportunities that could come because of this agreement, so what actions are you taking to support businesses to actually take advantage of some of these opportunities? And you identified some of these opportunities, I…

Thank you, Sam. I've just got some questions around the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, or the CPTPP, as it's called. What action have you taken to discuss the concerns you identified in your assessment of the CPTPP…

So, perhaps that's a polite way of telling us then that the apprenticeships budget will be cut, because stakeholders are telling me that it could be cut by 24 per cent in the forthcoming budget.

Craffu Cyffredinol ar Waith y Gweinidog: Gweinidog yr Economi
Now, Minister, one of your refreshed economic priorities is a platform for young people, fair work, skills, and success. Stakeholders have made it very clear that they're worried about the future of apprenticeships. And so, given that you've committed to…

Minister, your latest oral statement made it clear that you were holding an economic summit on 30 November, which, presumably, brought together partners, businesses, trade unions and stakeholders. Can you provide an update on the summit and any outcomes that…

Craffu Cyffredinol ar Waith y Gweinidog: Gweinidog yr Economi
Thank you very much indeed for those introductions. And perhaps I can kick off this session with a few questions. Now, Minister, at the start of the sixth Senedd, you said that your priorities for the portfolio included needing more people to work, and to be…
