Mae'n rhaid cyflwyno Cwestiynau Ysgrifenedig bum diwrnod gwaith o leiaf cyn y disgwylir iddynt gael eu hateb.  Yn ymarferol, mae'r Gweinidogion yn ceisio ateb o fewn saith neu wyth diwrnod ond nid yw'n orfodol iddynt wneud hynny.  Cyhoeddir yr atebion yn yr iaith y'u cyflwynir ynddi, gyda chyfieithiad i'r Saesneg o ymatebion a roddir yn Gymraeg.

Gofyn i Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi a'r Seilwaith

Sian Gwenllian (Arfon): A oes unrhyw amodau ar gyfer grantiau gan Lywodraeth Cymru yn cynnwys unrhyw delerau sy'n sicrhau bod swyddi o ansawdd da yn cael eu creu a bod y defnydd o gontractau dim oriau yn cael ei gyfyngu? (WAQ73057)

Derbyniwyd ateb ar 2 Mawrth 2017

Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Economi a'r Seilwaith (Ken Skates): We consider a full range of measures including high value jobs and responsible employment practice for all grant applications.

In the coming weeks, the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government will be issuing a new Code of Practice on Ethical Employment in Supply Chain.  The Code shows how the principles for using non-guaranteed hours arrangements appropriately and fairly can be built into procurement and contract management processes for all public funding including grants. We expect all organisations in receipt of public money, including through grants, to sign up to the new Code of Practice.

Gofyn i Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Amgylchedd a Materion Gwledig

Janet Finch-Saunders (Aberconwy): A wnaiff Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet roi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf am y sefyllfa bresennol o ran cyfreithloni deorfeydd pysgod a'u hadfer yng Nghymru? (WAQ73056)

Derbyniwyd ateb ar 28 Chwefror 2017

Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Amgylchedd a Materion Gwledig (Lesley Griffiths): Fish hatcheries are required to be authorised by the Fish Health Inspectorate (FHI) under the Aquatic Animal Health (England and Wales) Regulations 2009.  The Keeping and Introduction of Fish (Wales) Regulations 2014 requires applicants, who wish to introduce freshwater fish into water bodies in Wales, to obtain a site permit from Natural Resources Wales (NRW) for the introduction of any fish.

Any hatchery involved in the production of fish for restocking rivers using wild caught brood stock requires written consent from NRW under section 27A of the Salmon and Freshwater Fisheries Act 1975.  In addition, any consent for these operations in rivers designated as a Special Area of Conservation (SACs) will require a Habitats Regulations Assessment.

The decision to not undertake, or permit, stocking of salmon and sea trout in Wales was an operational decision taken by the NRW Board on 2 October 2014. This followed a technical review, public consultation and expert advice, whereby NRW concluded stocking was damaging to wild populations due to unacceptable impact on stock genetic diversity which resulted from hatchery rearing.

With regard to the reinstatement of stocking hatchery reared salmon, it is important to note NRW approval is needed.  The applicant would need to demonstrate the cause of any decline in salmon population and also clearly demonstrate how stocking will arrest and reverse this decline while maintaining the genetic integrity of the wild salmon stock.

Derbyniwyd ateb ar 27 Chwefror 2017

Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Gymunedau a Phlant (Carl Sargeant): I am currently considering this matter.
