Cyflwyniad, ymddiheuriadau, dirprwyon a datgan buddiannau
Good morning, Chair, thanks. I'm still a Conwy county borough councillor, but I don't think we're discussing anything specific around Conwy County Borough Council.

Datganiad gan y Gweinidog Cyllid a Llywodraeth Leol: Y wybodaeth ddiweddaraf am gaffael
Diolch, Gweinidog, am gyflwyno'r datganiad heddiw. Fel roeddech chi'n ei amlinellu ar y dechrau, mae caffael yn un o'r ysgogiadau sylweddol hynny y gellir eu defnyddio wrth fynd i'r afael â newid yn yr hinsawdd, ac roeddwn i'n falch iawn o'ch clywed chi'n…

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2022-23: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 3 - y Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd
Thanks, Chair. I'm sorry to cut across your questions, Carolyn. It's just that my ears pricked up in terms of comments around the options around supporting the retrofit and decarbonisation of homes. I'm just wondering, with your previous hat on, Minister…

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2022-23: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 3 - y Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd
Thanks for that response as well. I think the challenge, I guess, is that a third of the houses in Wales are over 100 years old, and mine is included in that. The challenge of adapting those sort of properties is significant, I would expect. I think that what…

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2022-23: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 3 - y Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd
That's a fair point, Minister, and my office here looks across an estate that has just been built, in the last two or three years. There are 250 houses here, and there's a really good mix of, yes, very affordable housing and free-market houses as well. So…

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2022-23: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 3 - y Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd
Okay, thanks. And just specifically in that private development area, then, do you think the budget allocations you've currently got in your draft budget support the private developments to the extent that you'd want them to be supported?

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2022-23: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 3 - y Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd
Thanks, Minister. So, just moving on now, then, to some of the private sector developments and perhaps those who will be looking to purchase their own homes. Maybe it's just my reading of things, but I'm less clear on how the Help to Buy scheme is likely to…

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2022-23: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 3 - y Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd
So, just keeping on that, then, Minister—thanks for that response—in terms of that £1 million, I appreciate in the grand scheme of a Welsh Government budget it's not a huge amount, but of course we're always here to make sure value for money is happening. So…

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2022-23: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 3 - y Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd
Thank you. So, is that pointing to perhaps a breakdown in the relationship with existing construction companies, do you think, the reason that you have to put money into that, or what—? Do you want to talk more on that?

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2022-23: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 3 - y Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd
Thank you, Chair, and thanks, Minister, for that. So, just in relation to that, of course, part of the solution I believe that you see to deal with that is the development of the national construction company, Unnos—I'm not sure if I'm pronouncing that…

Thanks, Chair. Morning, Minister. I appreciate your taking the time this morning to come to the committee. Just a few questions around housing supply. So, first of all, in relation to the 20,000 new, low-carbon social homes that you mentioned earlier on, I…

Cwestiynau i Weinidog yr Economi
Diolch i’r Aelod am gyflwyno’r cwestiwn pwysig hwn hefyd. Weinidog, oherwydd y cyfyngiadau pellach dros y Nadolig ac i mewn i’r flwyddyn newydd, mae’r cyhoeddiad am ragor o gymorth ariannol o’r gronfa cadernid economaidd i’w groesawu ar gyfer y busnesau hynny…

Okay. Thanks. And just one more question, if I may, Chair. The draft budget is a lovely piece of paper, with lots of words. In terms of the practical delivery of that stuff, do you feel it's clear what will practically happen and what will practically be a…

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2022-23: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 7
Thanks. And Ben, FSB were calling for 100 per cent rates relief to continue, weren't they, so, do you have any comments on what the proposals are in the budget and how that might impact businesses?
19 Ionawr 2022 , Finance Committee
Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2022-23: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 7
Great, thanks. So, just moving on to the draft budget in particular then, and from a retail side in particular, perhaps, a question around how effective is the draft budget in providing support to businesses now that the pandemic funding is being withdrawn…

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2022-23: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 7
Thanks, Chair. Morning, all. I appreciate you taking time out to join us this morning. I've got a bit of a general question, perhaps leading on from some of that engagement stuff, before I come to some specifics. Because, of course, every single penny of what…

Okay. And just one more point on that, if I may, Chair. Just to come back to that earlier question I asked around personal responsibility, how do you think that balance around household borrowing is balanced with personal choice and then people taking…

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2022-23: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 6
You're right, there are some real challenges in that sector and, unfortunately, in the area that I represent, north Wales, a number of developers are just moving out of the region because they feel there are so many barriers in place for them to build houses…

Thanks, and around housing, then, around 90 per cent of houses being built are built by the private sector; only about 10 per cent, I believe, is social landlords or local authorities building them. Do you think that that relationship between the Government…
