Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2022-23: Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Gweinidog yr Economi
I think that's fine, Chair, thank you.

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2022-23: Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Gweinidog yr Economi
Okay. And you've allocated an extra £20 million to the employability budget to support an expected increase in the cohort not in education, employment or training. What is the size of that cohort likely to be? How will the allocation to the employability…

And that comes back to the question of: how are you making up that gap between the end of EU funding and what you want to do? You've partially answered that, but is there anything further you want to say there?

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2022-23: Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Gweinidog yr Economi
Okay. So, you're taking a devolved approach to the research capacity.

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2022-23: Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Gweinidog yr Economi
With regard to the importance of regional skills partnerships, including apprenticeships and personal learning accounts, there hasn't been additional funding for a central research capacity. Can you just outline why?

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2022-23: Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Gweinidog yr Economi
Okay. I think if I pursue this any further we'll move away from budget scrutiny into more about degree apprenticeships, but it's certainly something I'd like to discuss with you and the Minister in the future.

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2022-23: Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Gweinidog yr Economi
Okay. So, are you anticipating an ability to expand degree apprenticeships then?
20 Ionawr 2022 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2022-23: Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Gweinidog yr Economi
So, there's an intention to expand, but you don't know what that's going to be yet.
20 Ionawr 2022 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2022-23: Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Gweinidog yr Economi
Okay, so I'd like to ask specifically first about the degree apprenticeship ambitions. Degree apprenticeships are using the same funding mechanism as they have in the past, and currently we've got two programmes. The Welsh Government, or the Welsh Labour…

My feeling is that as we're dealing with the consequences of flooding today, they will be caused in the future by things that are happening right now that we don't fully understand the consequences of, and wouldn't have happened in the past because we…

My feeling is that the understanding of the consequences of erosion that will be happening over the next 10 years is limited. Do you think that there is a need for perhaps a UK-wide budget that then is Barnettised for these issues, and would that be helpful…

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2022-23: Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda’r Gweinidog Materion Gwledig a Gogledd Cymru, a’r Trefnydd
I wanted to thank you, Minister, for the discussion we've had about flood erosion, river erosion and water erosion that can lead longer term to flooding but isn't covered currently by flooding funding for home owners and tenants and anyone who uses land. Do…

Okay. I'm just very aware that resourcing enforcement action often affects whether enforcement action may be able to be taken or not. And any additional regulations would require that money to follow. I think there's a little bit of concern about the fact…

Okay. Can I move on to the thorny question of the agricultural pollution regulations? Without getting into any additional issues that we don't want to get into, having had many conversations with NRW, regardless of a Wales-wide nitrate vulnerable zone and…

Okay. And the funding for agriculture customer engagement is actually remaining stable, so you don't anticipate any additional calls on that budget given the difficulties of transition at this point.

Can I just come back with a follow-up to Samuel Kurtz's question? The sustainable farming scheme and the basic payment scheme, are they going to run in parallel at any point?

And, finally, could the Minister just expand on the £2.7 million that's been allocated to regional consortia and local authorities for support for practitioners? How are the outcomes of that going to be measured to ensure they've been effective?

And if you don't mind me switching to English just to say that the numbers have fallen short of the target of 2,800 secondary school teachers. So, I'd like to understand how that bridge can be built to ensure that that happens.

Wel, mae'r Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol yn ardderchog, ond mae nifer yr athrawon mewn ysgolion uwchradd sy'n gallu addysgu'n Gymraeg wedi aros yn gymharol wastad.

Diolch, Cadeirydd. Mae problem fawr o ran nifer yr athrawon sy'n gallu addysgu yn Gymraeg. Sut mae'r gyllideb hon yn cefnogi'r angen dybryd i gynyddu nifer yr athrawon ysgol a all addysgu'r Gymraeg?
