(Dangosir rhif gwreiddiol y Cwestiwn mewn cromfachau)

Mae'n rhaid cyflwyno Cwestiynau Ysgrifenedig bum diwrnod gwaith o leiaf cyn y maent i 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'r Gweinidog Cyfoeth Naturiol

Suzy Davies (Gorllewin De Cymru): A wnaiff y Gweinidog gadarnhau pryd y bydd yn cyhoeddi'r adroddiad y dywedodd y byddai'n gofyn amdano ar 7 Hydref "gan Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru o ran eu proses o geisio sicrhau datrysiad gyda sefydliadau partner eraill" ynghylch Cwm Ivy a Llanmadog? (WAQ69517)

The Minister for Natural Resources (Carl Sargeant): I do not intend to publish the report submitted by Natural Resources Wales relating to recent developments at Cwm Ivy.  I have attached a copy for your information, which you are free to share with others.

Gofyn i'r Gweinidog Addysg a Sgiliau

Paul Davies (Preseli Sir Benfro): A wnaiff y Gweinidog gadarnhau nad yw'n bolisi Llywodraeth Cymru i gau'r chweched dosbarth mewn ysgolion a chyflwyno system drydyddol ar gyfer myfyrwyr Cymru? (WAQ69513)

Gweinidog Addysg a Sgiliau (Huw Lewis):

I can confirm that it is not Welsh Government policy to close sixth forms in schools and introduce a tertiary system.  However, we have introduced tertiary arrangements when appropriate.

Paul Davies (Preseli Sir Benfro): Yn sgil cynigion Cyngor Sir Penfro ar gyfer darpariaeth chweched dosbarth yn Hwlffordd, a wnaiff y Gweinidog gadarnhau mai dim ond awdurdodau lleol sy'n gyfrifol am wneud penderfyniadau ynghylch ad-drefnu ysgolion? (WAQ69514)

Huw Lewis: It is for local authorities to plan provision for their area in the light of their local knowledge and with due regard for effectiveness and efficiency. If a local authority decides that a change is necessary to school provision, then statutory procedures are normally required. These include consultation and the publication of notices that provide interested parties with an opportunity to have a say on matters that will affect them. Whilst the majority of final decisions on school changes now rest with local authorities, some proposals require a decision by the Welsh Ministers, for instance those solely involving the addition or removal of sixth forms.

Angela Burns (Gorllewin Caerfyrddin a De Sir Benfro): A wnaiff y Gweinidog ddarparu dyfarniad llawn Pearson UK ar gampws Caerdydd y West London Vocational Training College yn dilyn ei arolygiad o'r campws ym mis Hydref? (WAQ69515)

Derbyniwyd ateb ar 11 Rhagfyr 2015

Huw Lewis:

Pearson visited the College on 21 October following an approach from my officials. Its representative reported some concerns about the lack of student registrations with Pearson at that juncture and inaccurate prospectus information, but no recommendation was made to remove the course validation. Pearson's written report is required as evidence by South Wales Police and cannot be released until the investigation is concluded.

Angela Burns (Gorllewin Caerfyrddin a De Sir Benfro): Pwy ddarparodd y wybodaeth ar dueddiadau a phatrymau recriwtio myfyrwyr anarferol yng nghampws Caerdydd y West London Vocational Training College i'r Gweinidog, ac a wnaiff ddatgelu'r data hwn? (WAQ69516)

Derbyniwyd ateb ar 9 Rhagfyr 2015

Huw Lewis:

The Student Loans Company alerted BIS officials (who then involved my officials) that high numbers of students were registered at the College across the London and Cardiff campuses.

The HND and HNC in Business courses were specifically designated on 4 June this year for its campus in Cardiff. By 19 August, data from the Student Loans Company showed that there were 189 applications to the College, 95 students living in Cardiff, 94 students living in the London area, although all applications related to the London Campus. The information then available suggested that the Welsh domiciled students were correctly applying via Student Finance Wales for student finance to study these courses. The high start up numbers and concerns about where these students were actually studying were the reasons a review was undertaken.

Angela Burns (Gorllewin Caerfyrddin a De Sir Benfro): Faint y mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi'i wario hyd yma ar y grant ffioedd dysgu ers dechrau'r pedwerydd Cynulliad yn 2011? (WAQ69518)

Gofyn i'r Gweinidog Gwasanaethau Cyhoeddus

Janet Finch-Saunders (Aberconwy): Beth yw ymateb y Llywodraeth i farn arweinydd Cyngor Dinas Casnewydd fod y broses o ddiwygio llywodraeth leol yng Nghymru wedi bod yn 'Leming-aidd' ('Lemming-like')? (WAQ69512)

Derbyniwyd ateb ar 4 Rhagfyr 2015

Gweinidog Gwasanaethau Cyhoeddus (Leighton Andrews): Our proposals for the reform of Local Government in Wales will deliver net savings of up to £650m over ten years and will pay for themselves in two to three years.  We have consulted extensively on our proposals in three White Papers, and are consulting now on the Draft Local Government (Wales) Bill. Our approach has been open and transparent.
