Mae'r datganiad hwn yn dilyn y newyddion siomedig ar 2 Medi am fwriad Tata Steel i gau safle Orb Electrical Steels yng Nghasnewydd.  Bu'r Prif Weinidog a minnau yn ymweld â safle Orb ar 13 Tachwedd i gyfarfod Undeb Community, sydd wedi gweithio gyda'r ymgynghorwyr Syndex i lunio adroddiad sy'n rhoi amlinelliad o ddewis arall yn lle cau Orb.  Yn dilyn hyn, trafodais bwysigrwydd gadael digon o amser i ystyried y cynnig hwn ac unrhyw gynigion eraill a ddaw allai gynnig dyfodol hyfyw i'r gwaith gyda Henrik Adam, Prif Swyddog Gweithredol Tata Steel Europe.
This statement follows the disappointing news on 2 September about Tata Steel’s proposed closure of the Orb Electrical Steels site in Newport. The First Minister and I visited the Orb site on 13 November to meet Community Union, which has worked with consultants Syndex to produce a report outlining an alternative to the closure of Orb. Following this, I raised the importance of allowing sufficient time to consider this proposal and any other offers that come forward that might offer a viable future for the plant with Henrik Adam, the chief executive of Tata Steel Europe.
