—so, in your assessment, if that continues in that way, this can't be delivered.

Yes. Sorry, just quickly. You sort of answered the question I was going to ask at the end there. But, Claire, you mentioned that the exemptions in particular delay the issue, and I forget who, but one of you said that this was not the right time to bring this…

Finally from me, what are your views on the requirement for all schools to have a Welsh language education delivery plan? How much of a change do you anticipate that would mean for schools in practice?

Do you mind answering your own question? What does get missed out?

Is that covered—? Sorry, I know Cefin's going to ask later about the exemption criteria, but is that covered in that, do you think, sufficiently?

Thank you. Given that these primarily English schools are being required to provide 10 per cent Welsh language education, and that can include the teaching of Welsh as a subject, how much of an increase does that actually entail, and what kind of proportion…

I understand that.

Thank you very much. Good morning, everybody. Thank you for coming in. Following on, I guess, from the point that Vaughan was making, focusing on the English language or English-medium sector, the Bill mentions, in schools in that sector, all pupils becoming…

Datganiad gan Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi, Ynni a Chynllunio: Tata Steel
Diolch yn fawr, Ysgrifennydd Cabinet, am eich datganiad. Gadewch i ni beidio â diystyru pwysigrwydd y foment hon. Ddoe, am y tro olaf, gwnaed y swp olaf o ddur o ffwrnais chwyth, gan nodi diwedd dull o wneud dur yn y dref sy'n dyddio'n ôl yn hirach nag y gall…

A gaf i hefyd ofyn am ddatganiad gan Lywodraeth Cymru ar filiau ynni? Heddiw, rydym wedi'u gweld yn cynyddu tua 10 y cant yma yng Nghymru, ac mae hynny er gwaethaf y ffaith bod Keir Starmer wedi dweud wrthym pan oedd yn arweinydd yr wrthblaid, 'mae gan y…

In the interest of time, I've got loads more, but I'll leave it there, because I know you've got to get on.

It's like you predicted my next question, because I was just about to ask you about workforce. I wonder whether others feel that the education workforce is in place to deliver the increased amount of Welsh language provision envisaged. I'm guessing that you…

Diolch, Buffy. You've touched on a lot of the ground I was going to ask, so, in the interest of time, I'll skip over a few of the questions I had planned. Can we talk about the exemptions? We'll start there, in terms of the provisions in the Bill for…

That's all right. I'll abbreviate my questions as well. Can I move on to the workforce? Does the Bill, in your view, do enough in terms of ensuring the necessary education workforce is in place to deliver the increased amount of Welsh language education…

Thank you very much. Can I stick though—? Because there's been a little bit of discussion about the 10 per cent in the primarily English sector. Can I get your general views on that minimum level of provision and how that would work, and what your views are…

I expected as much from Cefin. Can I ask what your views are on the language categories that will be applied to schools under the Bill? Do you believe that it's a step forward from the current arrangements set out in the non-statutory guidance?

Diddorol. Diolch. Ac un cwestiwn i gloi: a yw'r Bil, yn eich barn chi, yn gwneud digon o ran sicrhau bod y gweithlu addysg angenrheidiol yn ei le i gyflawni'r cynnydd yn y ddarpariaeth addysg Gymraeg a ragwelir? Os nad ydyw, sut gellid cryfhau'r Bil?

Thank you. In your evidence, you mentioned that there are potential unintended consequences in relation to placing the same language attainments of B1 or B2 for both dual and primarily English schools, partly Welsh schools. Can you just elaborate on that?

Thank you. Just one last one on this 10 per cent exemption, obviously, you mentioned the lack of—sorry, I'm paraphrasing what you said—the lack of clarity around where this might need to be used. So, would you support the Bill listing specific circumstances…

Diolch. I'm just going to change the order of my questions, I think, just to stay on this 10 per cent. I'm just wondering what your views are on these primarily English schools' ability to apply for these temporary exemptions to that 10 per cent Welsh…

Diolch. Mae'r Bil yn pennu isafswm darpariaeth addysg Gymraeg y mae'n rhaid ei darparu mewn ysgolion prif iaith Saesneg, rhannol Gymraeg, ond dim isafswm o'r fath ar gyfer ysgolion dwy iaith neu ysgolion Cymraeg yn bennaf. A ydych chi'n pryderu o gwbl bod y…

Diolch yn fawr. Bore da. Beth yw eich barn chi ar y categorïau iaith a fydd yn cael eu cymhwyso i ysgolion o dan y Bil? A ydych chi o'r farn bod hwn yn gam ymlaen o'r trefniadau presennol a nodir mewn canllawiau anstatudol?
