Cwestiynau i Weinidog yr Economi
Mae'n werth cofio, yn amlwg, nad cysyniad haniaethol sydd o bwys i economegwyr yn unig yw cynhyrchiant; mae'n fesur sylfaenol o werth llafur gweithlu. Rwy'n meddwl am yr hyn a ddywedodd Paul Krugman: 'Nid cynhyrchiant yw popeth, ond yn y tymor hir, mae bron â…

Cwestiynau i Weinidog yr Economi
Diolch, Lywydd. Yr wythnos diwethaf, cyhoeddodd y Swyddfa Ystadegau Gwladol ddata ar gynhyrchiant is-ranbarthol ledled y DU yn ogystal â pherfformiad bargeinion dinesig neu fargeinion twf rhanbarthol yn y cyd-destun hwn. Ar sail yr allbwn prisiau presennol…

Cwestiynau i'r Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol a'r Prif Chwip
Yn dilyn cyhoeddi ystadegau'r Swyddfa Ystadegau Gwladol ar gyfer mis Mehefin yn dangos patrwm o ostyngiad yng nghyfraddau cyflogaeth a gweithgarwch economaidd Cymru, gofynnais i Weinidog yr Economi yr wythnos diwethaf p'un a oes angen asesiad llawer mwy…

—but there's concern around if you were looking to improve those standards, then there might be some interference.

Craffu Cyffredinol ar Waith y Gweinidog: Y Gweinidog Materion Gwledig a Gogledd Cymru, a’r Trefnydd
So, confident, essentially, in the maintaining of standards—

Craffu Cyffredinol ar Waith y Gweinidog: Y Gweinidog Materion Gwledig a Gogledd Cymru, a’r Trefnydd
So, how do you see it affecting your ability to perhaps improve or maintain food and agricultural standards? Are you confident that you’ll be able to improve, for example, without any interference? How do you see it affecting?

Craffu Cyffredinol ar Waith y Gweinidog: Y Gweinidog Materion Gwledig a Gogledd Cymru, a’r Trefnydd
—I'm just wondering what conversations are you having or have you had with UK Ministers, given that the Bill itself will give them powers to, essentially, interfere in devolved matters.

Craffu Cyffredinol ar Waith y Gweinidog: Y Gweinidog Materion Gwledig a Gogledd Cymru, a’r Trefnydd
Diolch, Gadeirydd. Moving on to the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill, I'm sure the highlight of your job at the moment—[Laughter.]

Craffu Cyffredinol ar Waith y Gweinidog: Gweinidog yr Economi
—so I imagine, when the Chair called me, you were expecting some questions that were going to, potentially, delve a bit more into the process. I'm just wondering, because it doesn't fill me with confidence when we see what goes on in places like Teesside, for…

Craffu Cyffredinol ar Waith y Gweinidog: Gweinidog yr Economi
Thank you, Minister. One final question. I have been consistent in my criticism of free ports—
21 Mehefin 2023 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Craffu Cyffredinol ar Waith y Gweinidog: Gweinidog yr Economi
Okay, it was 'could', but you still repeated that claim, and the reason I'm asking these questions is because there's been some analysis in the Financial Times by Peter Foster that has basically said that there's no concrete evidence between any of the data…

Craffu Cyffredinol ar Waith y Gweinidog: Gweinidog yr Economi
In the statement you made to the Senedd, you repeated the claim that a Celtic free-port bid would create 20,000 jobs.
21 Mehefin 2023 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Craffu Cyffredinol ar Waith y Gweinidog: Gweinidog yr Economi
Granted, the Government never guaranteed x amount of jobs being created, but it was happy enough to parrot those lines in talking about free-port bids, and how much they were saying they were going to create. I mean, the reason I'm asking this—
21 Mehefin 2023 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Craffu Cyffredinol ar Waith y Gweinidog: Gweinidog yr Economi
Specifically on job creation, then, because I think the bids here promised quite a lot to very low-income communities, essentially—. What was it? The Celtic free-port bid said they could create upwards of 20,000 jobs. What I'm trying to get at is what did the…
21 Mehefin 2023 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Craffu Cyffredinol ar Waith y Gweinidog: Gweinidog yr Economi
Diolch, Gadeirydd. Coming back to Sam's first question on free ports around the next steps in implementing some of these bids, I'd be really interested to understand what sort of work the Government have done in fact checking and assessing some of the claims…

Craffu Cyffredinol ar Waith y Gweinidog: Gweinidog yr Economi

I think it’s fair to say it’s broadly accepted now in terms of the investment that’s needed in the steel sector, as well as then tackling some of those energy issues, so a lot of that has to come from the UK Government, but to what degree do you see the Welsh…
21 Mehefin 2023 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Craffu Cyffredinol ar Waith y Gweinidog: Gweinidog yr Economi
Great. If I could move on then to steel. I'm sure you were expecting some questions on steel. The BBC recently reported that Tata have warned of uncertainty within the sector not just in Wales, but in the UK. I'd be interested just to see if I can get an…

So, you'll be taking a keen interest—

Just finally on the skills element, obviously I've been raising concerns around retention of students in both the college setting and the university setting, and we have now the education Minister committing to reviewing education maintenance allowance. How…

On that second point that I wanted to touch on, on the net-zero skills action plan, the Climate Change Committee also recommended that the action plan itself needed to be firmer now, with specific actions within the plan as well. How do you respond to that?
