Cwestiynau i Weinidog yr Economi
5. Pa asesiad y mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi'i wneud o'r effaith y bydd cyllideb ddiweddar Llywodraeth y DU yn ei chael ar economi Cymru? OQ60843

Cwestiynau i Weinidog yr Economi
Wel, gwrandewais yn ofalus iawn yno ac ni chlywais unrhyw bolisïau newydd penodol a roddwyd mewn grym gennych ers ichi ddod yn Weinidog yr Economi. Os rhywbeth, roeddech yn swnio bron fel rheolwr. Felly, a ddylwn gymryd o hynny mai bod yn rheolwr yw brand…

Cwestiynau i Weinidog yr Economi
Diolch, Lywydd. Bydd yn syndod i'r Gweinidog, heb os, y byddaf yn parhau â'r thema mai hon, o bosibl, fydd ei sesiwn gwestiynau olaf ar yr economi. Tybed a allech chi roi polisi economi sy'n nodweddiadol o Vaughan Gething i mi. Beth yw 'brand Vaughan Gething…

& 12. Cynnig Cydsyniad Deddfwriaethol ar y Bil Masnach (Cytundeb Cynhwysfawr a Blaengar ar gyfer Partneriaeth y Môr Tawel)—cynnig 1, a Chynnig Cydsyniad Deddfwriaethol ar y Bil Masnach (Cytundeb Cynhwysfawr a Blaengar ar gyfer Partneriaeth y Môr Tawel)—cynnig 2
Hoffwn ailadrodd bod Plaid Cymru yn parhau i wrthwynebu'r defnydd o gynigion cydsyniad deddfwriaethol fel mater o egwyddor. Mae'r defnydd cynyddol o gynigion cydsyniad deddfwriaethol gan Lywodraeth y DU dros y blynyddoedd diwethaf yn arwydd o'u diystyrwch…

Sesiwn Graffu Gyffredinol ar Waith y Gweinidog: Gweinidog yr Economi
—one more question on the transition board, specifically. Last week, we took evidence from two academic panels. One of them had Dr Dean Stroud on that panel, and we asked about the remit of the transition board, and he had some, I think, pretty interesting…

I'm conscious of time, Chair, but if I could just ask one question—

Sesiwn Graffu Gyffredinol ar Waith y Gweinidog: Gweinidog yr Economi
Of course, to be fair, the Welsh Government doesn't have to wait for a general election to set out its plans for infrastructure projects. The key thing I'm looking for here is to identify whether or not the work is being done in the same way it was done in…

Sesiwn Graffu Gyffredinol ar Waith y Gweinidog: Gweinidog yr Economi
One of those alternative proposals that would require significant investment would be a plate steel mill. I think we can understand some of the frustrations that some people have around the idea of a free port, and I've made my view clear on free ports over…

Sesiwn Graffu Gyffredinol ar Waith y Gweinidog: Gweinidog yr Economi
Diolch, Cadeirydd. And I probably should declare for the record that I'm a member of one of the sub-groups of the transition board in Port Talbot, which I think indicates what set of questions I'm likely to be asking you, Minister, around steel. I think a…

Thank you, Dean. Before I hand back to the Chair, Vera, did you want to add anything at all?

Dyfodol Dur yng Nghymru: Panel arbenigol 2
[Inaudible.]—you referred to earlier. I'm conscious of time, so it would be great if you would be able to write some of those in to the committee for us to consider, but if I can just ask one more question, Chair. And, again, I'll have to re-declare that I…

If I could turn to Vera, how do Tata's proposals stack up against European steel makers in what they are proposing for a just transition?
29 Chwefror 2024 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Dyfodol Dur yng Nghymru: Panel arbenigol 2
No worries. If I could move on, the idea of a just transition is something that we all talk about on a regular basis. What does a just transition look like for Tata's workforce in Port Talbot and, of course, its wider workforce in Wales? Dean.
29 Chwefror 2024 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Dyfodol Dur yng Nghymru: Panel arbenigol 2
Thanks. In terms of DRI, would you agree with Dean's suggestion?

Dyfodol Dur yng Nghymru: Panel arbenigol 2
Diolch, Cadeirydd. If I could just focus in a bit on the electric arc furnace proposal itself for a moment, we've referred to it already in answers to Vikki, but I'll ask last both questions at the same time. It's a bit of a concern, really, isn't it, that…

Dyfodol Dur yng Nghymru: Panel arbenigol
I'm conscious of time, Chair—and I know Buffy's interested in asking about electricity costs, which I think are actually going to be quite important here—but if I could just ask a very brief question: what role can the UK's planned implementation of a carbon…

Dyfodol Dur yng Nghymru: Panel arbenigol
Because to get to that point where we're creating genuinely zero-carbon steel, the case that we've been making is it's better, then, to site steel production in places where there are better regulations.

Dyfodol Dur yng Nghymru: Panel arbenigol
Diolch, Cadeirydd. I've found this evidence session really interesting, and a lot of the questions I had around DRI have been answered. But if I just turn to the politics of it for a minute, much has been said around—and I think the Minister for Economy has…

Are there any conversations about potential compensation for workers if there was an early closure as a result of—?

Dyfodol Dur yng Nghymru: Undebau Dur
And I'm conscious this might be fairly sensitive, so I can understand if you guys are unable to answer it, but there have been some conversations around potential health and safety concerns in, I believe, blast furnace No. 5, and that potentially leading to…
