Sefydlwyd Loteri Sir Benfro 30 mlynedd yn ôl i ddarparu cronfa y gallai busnesau sir Benfro gael mynediad ati heb unrhyw gost i fuddsoddi yn eu dyfodol, gan greu a chadw swyddi yn sir Benfro. Syniad y diweddar Danny Fellows ydoedd, gŵr a ymunodd â Mike Peake…

Cwestiynau i Weinidog yr Economi
Weinidog, fe fyddwch yn ymwybodol iawn o fy niddordeb mewn porthladdoedd rhydd, yn enwedig y porthladd rhydd Celtaidd yn fy etholaeth, polisi economaidd a allai wella sir Benfro, de-orllewin Cymru a Chymru gyfan yn uniongyrchol. Mae eu buddion yn glir iawn…

Datganiad gan y Gweinidog Cyllid a Llywodraeth Leol: Diweddariad ar Sefyllfa Ariannol 2023-24
Er eglurder, ar y meinciau hyn, rydyn ni'n cefnogi gallu Llywodraeth Cymru i gynnal cyfnewidiadau cyfalaf i refeniw. Ond, Gweinidog, o fewn fy mhortffolio cysgodol, ni fydd yn syndod bod fy llygaid wedi'u tynnu, yn y ddogfen 'Diweddariad ar sefyllfa ariannol…

Dadl y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig: Iechyd meddwl
Yn sicr, ac rwy'n hapus iawn i gefnogi unrhyw elusen sy'n gweithio yn y sector hwn ac sy'n darparu gwasanaethau hanfodol tuag at hynny. Rwy'n credu ei fod yn cyffwrdd â'r hyn a ddywedodd Laura Anne Jones yn ei chyfraniad hi am argaeledd arferion gorau; os oes…

Dadl y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig: Iechyd meddwl
Diolch, Lywydd. Ac yn gyntaf, hoffwn ddechrau drwy ddiolch i'r holl Aelodau am eu cyfraniad heddiw. Yn wir, dyma un o'r rhesymau pam yr euthum i fyd gwleidyddiaeth—i allu trafod mater difrifol fel hwn yn yr hyn y buaswn yn ei galw'n ffordd aeddfed a threfnus…

Thank you, Chair.

Gweinidog yr Economi: Safleoedd Rheolaethau’r Ffin yng Nghymru; a Dyfodol Dur Cymru
So, that outline business case will be an opportunity for yourselves to work with the free-port organisations to be able to go, 'Right, this is good, this needs work, this is where it may require strengthening, this is something that we can park', et cetera…

Gweinidog yr Economi: Safleoedd Rheolaethau’r Ffin yng Nghymru; a Dyfodol Dur Cymru
Good. Likewise—as am I. In terms of the plan to publish guidance for free ports in Wales, do the free ports have sufficient information? I know you've mentioned that you've been working with them closely. Have they had the information required to be able to…

Gweinidog yr Economi: Safleoedd Rheolaethau’r Ffin yng Nghymru; a Dyfodol Dur Cymru
Okay. That's good. That's positive. Thank you for that positivity on that.

Gweinidog yr Economi: Safleoedd Rheolaethau’r Ffin yng Nghymru; a Dyfodol Dur Cymru
So, parking—I'm coming back to both of you on this point—a potential general election in May—for what it's worth, I think it'll be October—are we still on track for a final designation in spring 2024?
11 Hydref 2023 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Gweinidog yr Economi: Safleoedd Rheolaethau’r Ffin yng Nghymru; a Dyfodol Dur Cymru
Okay. I'm glad there has been—I don't like using the phrase, but—hand-holding. But, as this is a new model for both the free-port consortia—

Gweinidog yr Economi: Safleoedd Rheolaethau’r Ffin yng Nghymru; a Dyfodol Dur Cymru
So, there's no guarantee as of yet whether the free-port areas will be business rates exempt.

Gweinidog yr Economi: Safleoedd Rheolaethau’r Ffin yng Nghymru; a Dyfodol Dur Cymru

11 Hydref 2023 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Gweinidog yr Economi: Safleoedd Rheolaethau’r Ffin yng Nghymru; a Dyfodol Dur Cymru
I understand that. Forgive me, then, for pressing a little bit more on business rates, then. Has that caught the Welsh Government a little bit on the hop, that business rates were included in this and the way that business rates are administered in Wales…

Gweinidog yr Economi: Safleoedd Rheolaethau’r Ffin yng Nghymru; a Dyfodol Dur Cymru
Diolch, Cadeirydd. Minister, what progress has been made on developing reliefs for devolved taxes such as business rates and land transaction tax to support the development of free ports in Wales?

Gweinidog yr Economi: Safleoedd Rheolaethau’r Ffin yng Nghymru; a Dyfodol Dur Cymru

Gweinidog yr Economi: Safleoedd Rheolaethau’r Ffin yng Nghymru; a Dyfodol Dur Cymru
Or maybe a written statement to the Senedd itself.
11 Hydref 2023 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Gweinidog yr Economi: Safleoedd Rheolaethau’r Ffin yng Nghymru; a Dyfodol Dur Cymru
Fab. Are we entitled to a written update following that, as a committee?
11 Hydref 2023 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Gweinidog yr Economi: Safleoedd Rheolaethau’r Ffin yng Nghymru; a Dyfodol Dur Cymru
Excellent. So, you've previously told this committee that you expected inter-governmental discussions on the timetable for introducing physical checks on non-qualifying NI goods to begin around now. Are you able to update us on that?
11 Hydref 2023 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Gweinidog yr Economi: Safleoedd Rheolaethau’r Ffin yng Nghymru; a Dyfodol Dur Cymru
Fab. And in terms of the BCP at Fishguard, I think in your written evidence you've described there being a reuse of rock—excavation and reuse of rock at that location. That, to me, naturally seems like a good idea; it's reducing the amount of imported…

Gweinidog yr Economi: Safleoedd Rheolaethau’r Ffin yng Nghymru; a Dyfodol Dur Cymru
But you're angling towards sort of a private company or a private collaboration, saying that you don't have the civil servants to do it. That would naturally lead me to—
11 Hydref 2023 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Gweinidog yr Economi: Safleoedd Rheolaethau’r Ffin yng Nghymru; a Dyfodol Dur Cymru
So, is that looking at Welsh Government operating that, or bringing in a private operator to run facilities, or are these all measures being investigated?
