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.

Gweinidog Cyfoeth Naturiol (Carl Sargeant):
Welsh Government is currently examining the long term options for strengthening the evidence and data that currently exists on housing conditions and fuel poverty levels in Wales.
In the short term we have commissioned the Building Research Establishment (BRE) to undertake research to estimate and project near term fuel poverty levels in Wales. The project commenced in October 2015, and we expect the findings to be made available in early 2016.
In addition we have commissioned the Centre for Sustainable Energy (CSE) to undertake a separate research project which aims to build an increased understanding of the individuals or households who are on a low income and are most at risk of the effects of living in a cold home. The project will also look at defining which of these individuals or households are the most in need of the support that can be offered through home energy efficiency improvements, and which routes these vulnerable individuals currently take to access help and support. The project commenced in August 2015, and we expect its findings to be made available in early 2016.

Dirprwy Weinidog Ffermio a Bwyd (Rebecca Evans): Anybody using live animals in circuses should comply with the requirements of the Animal Welfare Act 2006. However, the Welsh Government is looking at the policy in relation to the use of wild animals in circuses as we share the concerns expressed by many of the public.
Despite previous commitments from Defra to take forward primary legislation to ban the use of wild animals in circuses, and numerous promises from the Secretary of State, it is now clear the UK Government shows no appetite for action. We are therefore considering whether it may be appropriate for the Welsh Government to act alone.
We are commissioning an independent review of the available evidence about the welfare of wild animals used by travelling circuses. That will help inform whether legislation may be appropriate and if so, the form it might take. We will consult all parties with an interest in this issue before making a final decision.
We are also in discussion with the Welsh Local Government Association, the Animal and Plant Health Agency, Police and Local Authorities to monitor public safety and animal health and welfare standards in travelling circuses.
Gofyn i'r Gweinidog Gwasanaethau Cyhoeddus
Janet Finch-Saunders (Aberconwy): Beth y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn ei wneud i helpu i amddiffyn pobl hŷn rhag sgamiau ffôn, post ac e-bost, a galwadau diwahoddiad? (WAQ69243)

Gweinidog Gwasanaethau Cyhoeddus (Leighton Andrews):
Consumer protection is not a devolved matter and we therefore have no powers to enforce No Cold Caller Zones or to protect people from financial scams.
However we have provided funding to Local Authorities to increase the number of No Cold Caller Zones in Wales which help to protect vulnerable people from scams. We also provided funding to support Age Cymru's scams awareness project and we have developed our own information and advice service to tackle cold calling and scams around energy efficiency.
Gofyn i Weinidog yr Economi, Gwyddoniaeth a Thrafnidiaeth
Janet Finch-Saunders (Aberconwy): A wnaiff y Gweinidog ddatganiad am y ffaith bod Surf Snowdonia ar gau ar hyn o bryd? (WAQ69238)

Dirprwy Weinidog Sgiliau a Thechnoleg (Ken Skates): Surf Snowdonia has proved very popular since its launch and we welcome the further investment over coming winter months and are assured the attraction will return in time for 2016 season.
