Ymchwiliad undydd ar y diwydiannau celfyddydau a chreadigol
Diolch. A gaf i ofyn beth ddylai'r pwyllgor flaenoriaethu ar gyfer y pum mlynedd nesaf, a beth am flaenoriaethau Llywodraeth Cymru yn y dyfodol?

Ymchwiliad undydd ar y diwydiannau celfyddydau a chreadigol
Wel, soniodd Dyfrig am hyn, ond, yn fwy penodol, sut y gellir cynyddu darpariaeth o Gymraeg a'r defnydd ohoni yn eich sectorau chi?

Beth ddylai Llywodraeth Cymru flaenoriaethu yn y dyfodol, ac a oes gennych chi unrhyw flaenoriaethau penodol ar gyfer cyllideb ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru, sydd ar ddod?

Blaenoriaethau Pwyllgor yr Economi, Masnach a Materion Gwledig - Lles anifeiliaid
Chair, I think this is a discussion that goes beyond the scope of our committee today, but I'll certainly be taking up further discussions with stakeholders in the future.

Blaenoriaethau Pwyllgor yr Economi, Masnach a Materion Gwledig - Lles anifeiliaid
Diolch, Gadeirydd. I very much welcome the condolences that you've expressed today and in the Chamber. The whole community in Penyrheol is hurting and we're thinking of the family of Jack and his school friends and teachers and everyone who is affected there…

Blaenoriaethau Pwyllgor yr Economi, Masnach a Materion Gwledig - Sefydliadau ffermio
Okay. I think that's helpful. Thank you.

Blaenoriaethau Pwyllgor yr Economi, Masnach a Materion Gwledig - Sefydliadau ffermio
Yes, there's quite a lot to explore there. And there was something you said earlier that I was interested in about the relationship between tenant farmers and common land. Can you just expand on that, and how they interact with common land?

Blaenoriaethau Pwyllgor yr Economi, Masnach a Materion Gwledig - Sefydliadau ffermio
Can I direct my questions to George Dunn, please? I'd particularly like to ask whether the agriculture Bill White Paper proposals are appropriate specifically to tenant farming.

Craffu Cyffredinol ar Waith y Gweinidogion - Gweinidog yr Economi
Yes, very quickly. Regarding the degree apprenticeships, I would welcome them continuing, but one of the issues was gender balance. They were very male dominated in the last round. Do you recognise that, and will you be able to address that as an issue?

Craffu Cyffredinol ar Waith y Gweinidogion - Gweinidog yr Economi
Diolch, Gadeirydd.

Craffu Cyffredinol ar Waith y Gweinidogion - Gweinidog yr Economi
So, these issues, these approaches by the UK Government are working separately to the Welsh Government rather than in parallel and as a united step.
11 Tachwedd 2021 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Craffu Cyffredinol ar Waith y Gweinidogion - Gweinidog yr Economi
Okay, that's fine, thank you. And my last question: what are your views on the UK Government's announcement that it will set up a £130 million fund for business support to be delivered through the British Business Bank, and how does that fit with what the…
11 Tachwedd 2021 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Craffu Cyffredinol ar Waith y Gweinidogion - Gweinidog yr Economi
Okay. So, that's imminent then.
11 Tachwedd 2021 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Craffu Cyffredinol ar Waith y Gweinidogion - Gweinidog yr Economi
Can I just check the timescale of that? Is that dependent on the budget?
11 Tachwedd 2021 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Craffu Cyffredinol ar Waith y Gweinidogion - Gweinidog yr Economi
So, that'll be the criterion for applying to the fund.
11 Tachwedd 2021 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Craffu Cyffredinol ar Waith y Gweinidogion - Gweinidog yr Economi
Okay. More broadly, can you give us some more information about the business development and recovery fund that you've got planned, and what that will entail and how it will work?
11 Tachwedd 2021 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Craffu Cyffredinol ar Waith y Gweinidogion - Gweinidog yr Economi
So, basically, you're looking to double that.
11 Tachwedd 2021 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Craffu Cyffredinol ar Waith y Gweinidogion - Gweinidog yr Economi
So, just to be clear, you said there were 60 employee-owned business.
11 Tachwedd 2021 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Craffu Cyffredinol ar Waith y Gweinidogion - Gweinidog yr Economi
And one of the things you've also said is you'd like to double the number of employee-owned businesses in the time ahead. How many more businesses would that mean? It's not just about helping businesses survive; it's actually causing more businesses to be…
11 Tachwedd 2021 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Craffu Cyffredinol ar Waith y Gweinidogion - Gweinidog yr Economi
So, can I take from that that we would expect to see something done in that area?

Craffu Cyffredinol ar Waith y Gweinidogion - Gweinidog yr Economi
Can I ask the Minister what is his response to what the BBC is reporting as the comments of Ian Edwards, the boss of Celtic Manor, today, who said that small businesses could collapse if business rates are reintroduced in April?

Ymchwiliad undydd i dreftadaeth, amgueddfeydd ac archifau
Would you say that ties into the Welsh Government's international strategy?
10 Tachwedd 2021 , Culture, Communications, Welsh Language, Sport, and International Relations Committee
Ymchwiliad undydd i dreftadaeth, amgueddfeydd ac archifau
That's fine, I'm used to being patient. Can I just ask the panel about their view on promoting Wales to the world? What can each of you do, what can you do as a sector, to promote Wales to the world?
