Gofyn i’r Gweinidog Addysg a Sgiliau
Andrew RT Davies (Canol De Cymru): A wnaiff y Gweinidog amlinellu'r broses ar gyfer gweinyddu cyllido'r polisi brecwast am ddim mewn ysgolion, yn enwedig sut y caiff taliadau eu dyrannu i ysgolion i dalu costau clybiau brecwast, ac unrhyw newidiadau i'r broses hon sydd wedi digwydd yn y 12 mis diwethaf?

Weinidog Addysg a Sgiliau (Huw Lewis): Since the start of the 2013-2014 financial year, funding for the Free Breakfast in Primary Schools (FBIPS) initiative was transferred to local authorities’ Revenue Support Grant (RSG), and the duty to provide free breakfasts was underpinned by legislation. Local authorities are free to allocate the funding to schools using whatever methodology is most suitable for them, so long as they operate in accordance with the statutory duties placed on them by section 88 and 89 of the School Standards and Organisation (Wales) Act 2013.
Prior to the start of the 2013-2014 financial year, the FBIPS initiative was administered as a grant by Welsh Government. Schools would submit their expenditure to a nominated local authority contact, and Welsh Government would reimburse the local authority after checking that the spend satisfied the terms and conditions of the grant.
Andrew RT Davies (Canol De Cymru): A wnaiff y Gweinidog ddarparu cost flynyddol polisi brecwast am ddim mewn ysgolion Llywodraeth Cymru am bob un o'r pedair blynedd ariannol ddiwethaf, gan gynnwys y flwyddyn hyd yma? (WAQ66431)

Gofyn i'r Weinidog yr Economi, Gwyddoniaeth a Thrafnidiaeth
Paul Davies (Preseli Pembrokeshire): Will the Minister make a statement on the £2.9m which has been transferred to reserves from the Sustainable Travel Action with respect of the 2013/14 supplementary budget, and its impact on programmes such as the implementation of the Active Travel (Wales) Act?
