Dadl y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig: Chwe mis cyntaf Llywodraeth newydd y DU
Diolch. Rydym yn amlwg yn coffáu chwe mis o arweinyddiaeth Starmer. Rydych chi'n sôn am adroddiad Gordon Brown. A allwch chi bwyntio at un peth yn yr adroddiad hwnnw sydd wedi datblygu yn y chwe mis ers dechrau prif weinidogaeth Keir Starmer?

Cwestiynau i Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi, Ynni a Chynllunio
Nid yw’n ymwneud â phryd rydym yn ei fabwysiadu; mae eisoes yn cael ei fabwysiadu, ac mae’r Llywodraeth hon ar ei hôl hi ar hynny. Ac fe sonioch chi am gyhoeddiad Prif Weinidog y DU ar ddeallusrwydd artiffisial yn gynharach y mis hwn—eironig, felly, ei fod…

Cwestiynau i Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi, Ynni a Chynllunio
Onid yw’n eironig, felly, yn y 14 mlynedd yr ydych yn eu beirniadu o dan Lywodraeth Geidwadol, fod 800 o swyddi newydd wedi cael eu creu bob dydd—swyddi sy’n talu trethi, trethi sy’n ariannu’r gwasanaethau cyhoeddus sydd mor annwyl i bawb ohonom? Ac rydych…

Cwestiynau i Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi, Ynni a Chynllunio
Diolch, Lywydd. Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, mae rhai ffigurau economaidd wedi peri pryder gwirioneddol dros yr ychydig wythnosau diwethaf, yn dilyn argyfwng a grëwyd yn Stryd Downing. Mae’r Canghellor Llafur yn sôn am dwf economaidd, ond mae gan Lafur yma yng…

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: y Dirprwy Brif Weinidog ac Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Newid Hinsawdd a Materion Gwledig
Okay.

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: y Dirprwy Brif Weinidog ac Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Newid Hinsawdd a Materion Gwledig
Six or 7 per cent. How is that then split amongst the portfolio? Is it 50:50 rural affairs and climate change? Is it 60:40, 30:70? Has work been done to determine the split within the department as to how that is seen, or do you, as Deputy First Minister…

Okay, and then just one final point, coming back to Jamie’s earlier comments in my questioning around the 5 per cent, I believe you said, increase, if you take away the BPS payment. Was it 5 per cent or 6 per cent?

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: y Dirprwy Brif Weinidog ac Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Newid Hinsawdd a Materion Gwledig
Yes, and I appreciate that point on delivering the role, but are they funded sufficiently to be able to help develop the transition towards the sustainable farming scheme?

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: y Dirprwy Brif Weinidog ac Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Newid Hinsawdd a Materion Gwledig
Yes, I think they’ve been in touch with your office, but I’m happy to pick that up as well. And due to your succinct answers, Deputy First Minister, I’ve got time to go back to my original agricultural support questions. But specifically around Farming…

Thank you very much, Chair. Just sticking with fisheries, the economic development officer for aquaculture at Pembrokeshire County Council—you'll be aware and your team will be, Deputy First Minister, of this—their role is supported and funded by the shared…

Thank you very much. It's on the Pembrokeshire pilot project. Will continuity of funding for that project be coming forward?

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: y Dirprwy Brif Weinidog ac Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Newid Hinsawdd a Materion Gwledig
Okay, I'm happy, then, for these to go via written questions, if that's okay with the Cabinet Secretary.

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: y Dirprwy Brif Weinidog ac Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Newid Hinsawdd a Materion Gwledig
In layman's terms then, for me, your multi-annual support plan sits on top, and that £20 million that's been announced sits underneath, specifically in this period, where this is the sort of trajectory we'd like to go, but this injection of £20 million this…

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: y Dirprwy Brif Weinidog ac Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Newid Hinsawdd a Materion Gwledig
Okay. So, how, then, with the multi-annual support plan for agriculture for 2025-29—? You've just said, 'It's hard to do because we can't do multi-annual planning', so that £20 million, it's hard to correlate that to historical stuff, but then, at the same…

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: y Dirprwy Brif Weinidog ac Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Newid Hinsawdd a Materion Gwledig
Okay. Thank you, Deputy First Minister. An additional £20 million of funding is being provided for wider rural investment schemes. I'm just wondering how does that compare, historically, to those rural investment schemes.

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: y Dirprwy Brif Weinidog ac Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Newid Hinsawdd a Materion Gwledig
Okay, so in that answer, is there a guarantee that it will not be less than the £355 million earmarked for this financial year?

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: y Dirprwy Brif Weinidog ac Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Newid Hinsawdd a Materion Gwledig
Okay. And the £238 million BPS, including the rural investment scheme—a total of £355.17 million. You mentioned that, Deputy First Minister. Is that an indication of what's to come for the sustainable farming scheme?

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: y Dirprwy Brif Weinidog ac Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Newid Hinsawdd a Materion Gwledig
Okay, so that's climate change and rural affairs. So, that 6 per cent wouldn't necessarily be seeing an increase in agricultural finance and support, but it would be seen across some of the climate change elements that the Deputy First Minister is responsible…

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: y Dirprwy Brif Weinidog ac Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Newid Hinsawdd a Materion Gwledig
So, sorry, can I just ask: is that the total climate change and rural affairs budget, or the rural affairs budget specifically, the 6 per cent increase?

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: y Dirprwy Brif Weinidog ac Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Newid Hinsawdd a Materion Gwledig
Thank you, Chair. No surprises, Cabinet Secretary, Deputy First Minister: agricultural support is the theme that I'll be going in on, but I just wondered how, in setting the budget, you've taken inflation into account for farming support?
