Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: Sesiwn tystiolaeth 5
Andrew, you're shaking your head there, so do you want to come in on that? Just unmute Andrew for me, please. There we are.

Dwi'n gwybod ein bod ni'n mynd i ddod yn ôl at yswiriant gwladol later on hefyd, ond diolch am y pwyntiau hynny. Sam.

Nia, oes gen ti—? Wyt ti eisiau ymateb i gwestiwn Sam?

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: Sesiwn tystiolaeth 5
It's good to have that comment, because it helps, not necessarily with the budget now, but especially with policy development and legislation. But I'll come to Nia now.

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: Sesiwn tystiolaeth 5
Before I come to Nia, just a point that I think Andrew Morgan made there, or it might have been yourself, Sam: one thing that this committee, when looking at regulatory impact assessments for Bills, sees is how much it's going to cost Government, but then not…

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: Sesiwn tystiolaeth 5
Yes. I've got Nia who wants to come in, but I'll bring Mike in and then I'll bring Nia in after that.

Lis.

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: Sesiwn tystiolaeth 5
Maybe Andrew, from a WLGA standpoint, and maybe from Rhondda Cynon Taf as well.
15 Ionawr 2025 , Finance Committee
Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: Sesiwn tystiolaeth 5
I'll go to Sam Rowlands for some questions. Diolch, Sam.
15 Ionawr 2025 , Finance Committee
Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: Sesiwn tystiolaeth 5
Diolch yn fawr.

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: Sesiwn tystiolaeth 5
Ocê, diolch. Nia, oeddet ti eisiau dod i mewn ar hwnna, neu mae'n bosib na wnes i ddod atat ti efo'r llawr chwaith, yn gynharach. So, dwi ddim yn gwybod a oes gen ti jest rywbeth byr yn y fan honno, ac fe wnaf i symud at Sam wedyn.
15 Ionawr 2025 , Finance Committee
Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: Sesiwn tystiolaeth 5
Okay, thank you. And finally from me, before I come to Sam, your capital funding will increase from £180 million to £200 million, alongside which there will be an additional £10 million of funding for decarbonisation—a total of £30 million. What does this…

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: Sesiwn tystiolaeth 5
Okay, thank you very much. Just looking at the tables that were published by the Cabinet Secretary when making the announcement, it looks as if the Welsh Government has updated those tables that sit behind the provision of local government since their…

Anthony, you indicated.

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: Sesiwn tystiolaeth 5
Of course, Lis, yes.
15 Ionawr 2025 , Finance Committee
Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: Sesiwn tystiolaeth 5
Okay. That's fine. That's fine. Mike, did you want to come in on this?
15 Ionawr 2025 , Finance Committee
Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: Sesiwn tystiolaeth 5
So, if you got everybody to 4.3 per cent.
15 Ionawr 2025 , Finance Committee
Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: Sesiwn tystiolaeth 5
Of course. And any idea what it would be—? Because the further up that floor goes, the more councils get. Do you know roughly what a 5 per cent floor would cost?
15 Ionawr 2025 , Finance Committee
Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: Sesiwn tystiolaeth 5
Have you done any work around how much a floor at, say, 4 per cent would cost, how much a floor at 5 per cent would cost, 6 per cent would cost?

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: Sesiwn tystiolaeth 5
This is directed, maybe, at Anthony now. I was reading the letter that Jayne Bryant sent to local authorities at the time of announcing the revenue support grant, and then a letter going back from yourselves as the WLGA talking about—. In that, she was…

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: Sesiwn tystiolaeth 5
Okay. Thank you very much for that.

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: Sesiwn tystiolaeth 5
Nia, oes gen ti rywbeth i ddweud ynglŷn â beth mae hyn yn mynd i fod yn effaith ar wasanaethau yn dy gyngor di, ac o siarad efo arweinwyr eraill hefyd?
15 Ionawr 2025 , Finance Committee
Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: Sesiwn tystiolaeth 5
Lis, there's obviously a range within that settlement across Wales, and the formula and things like that. So, from your experience in your council, and talking to other leaders, what are those challenges, then? You talked about social services, but those…
