Diolch yn fawr, Llywydd. Rwy’n cynnig y cynnig arferol ar gyfer y gyllideb atodol gyntaf gerbron y Cynulliad Cenedlaethol. Dyma’r cyfle cyntaf i wella cynlluniau cyllidebol ar gyfer y flwyddyn ariannol bresennol a gafodd eu cyhoeddi a’u cymeradwyo gan y Cynulliad ym mis Ionawr. Mae’r gyllideb atodol gyntaf yn aml yn eithaf syml ei chwmpas ac nid yw eleni’n eithriad. Mae o natur weinyddol yn bennaf. Mae’n rheoleiddio nifer fach o ddyraniadau o’n cronfeydd wrth gefn, yn newid rhwng cronfeydd adnoddau a chyfalaf ac yn trosglwyddo rhwng portffolios. Mae’n cynnwys addasiadau i gyllideb DEL Cymru i ystyried trosglwyddiadau a symiau canlyniadol a gafwyd yng nghyllideb Llywodraeth y Deyrnas Unedig ym mis Mawrth 2017. Ac mae’n adlewyrchu newidiadau i ragolygon gwariant a reolir yn flynyddol, yn unol â’r manylion diweddaraf yr ydym ni wedi eu rhoi i’r Trysorlys yn San Steffan. Fodd bynnag, mae’n cynrychioli rhan bwysig o’r system gyllidebu a chraffu. Hoffwn i fanteisio ar y cyfle i ddiolch i’r Pwyllgor Cyllid am ystyried y gyllideb hon yn ofalus ac am yr adroddiad a gafodd ei gyhoeddi ddiwedd yr wythnos ddiwethaf. Byddaf yn ymateb yn ffurfiol i’r adroddiad hwnnw maes o law.

Llywydd, a number of the changes set out in this first supplementary budget flow from agreements made with the UK Government and others. Agreement on governance arrangements for the Cardiff capital city deal mean that the £20 million has now been released for this purpose; £7.18 million from the Home Office in respect of our portion of the immigration health surcharge receipts has been allocated to the health, well-being and sport main expenditure group in this supplementary budget; £20 million pounds from reserves has been released for investment in social care, while an additional £750,000 in revenue and £1.6 million in capital funding have been allocated for the provision of Wi-Fi on trains and in stations. And I am, of course, aware of the one specific recommendation made by the Finance Committee in this regard.

Llywydd, we must also reflect adjustments made to the Welsh departmental expenditure limit by the UK Government, and the supplementary budget updates the position set out in the final budget in January for both revenue and capital consequentials. This budget allows us to reflect the amendments made in ministerial portfolio responsibilities. Following the transfer of responsibility for Careers Wales to the Minister for Skills and Science, £18.8 million in revenue funding and £6 million of annually managed expenditure funding has been transferred from the education main expenditure group to the economy and infrastructure MEG. No budget has been cut as a result of the supplementary budget, and any negative adjustments at MEG level are offset by corresponding positive adjustments in other MEGs. The net effect on the overall budget of these changes is zero.

Over the coming months, I will carefully monitor our financial position, and intend to table a second supplementary budget to the usual timetable. I continue to explore with colleagues the case for in-year allocation from reserves, while retaining a level of resource sufficient to match the uncertain financial times in which we operate. This will allow us to respond where necessary to possible further pressures on the budget, and to carry forward funding through the new Wales reserve arrangements, to guard against further cuts to our budget in 2019-20 and beyond. Any further allocations from reserves in this year will be reflected in the second supplementary budget.

Llywydd, I’d like to thank the Finance Committee once again for their scrutiny of this supplementary budget, and I ask Members to support it.
