Bydd yr Aelodau eisoes yn ymwybodol o’r ffaith bod gweithgareddau buddsoddi’r Gronfa wedi cael eu hatal dros dro gan fy rhagflaenydd ym mis Hydref 2012. Gwnaed y penderfyniad hwn yn sgil ymchwiliadau gan Swyddfa Archwilio Cymru ynghylch amgylchiadau a oedd ynghlwm wrth werthu asedau tir y Gronfa. Rydym hefyd wedi bod yn cydweithio’n agos iawn â Swyddfa Archwilio Cymru ers hynny. Mae fy Adran hefyd wedi comisiynu ymchwiliadau ar wahân sy’n ceisio pennu a allai’r moratoriwm ar weithgareddau’r Gronfa ddod i ben yn y tymor byr.
Members will be aware that the Fund’s investment activities were suspended on a temporary basis by my predecessor in October 2012.  This decision was taken in the light of Wales Audit Office investigations into the circumstances surrounding the sale of land assets by the Fund.  We have been working with the WAO very closely ever since.  My Department has also commissioned separate investigations aimed at establishing whether the moratorium placed on the Fund could be lifted in the short term.
