Rydym wedi galw dro ar ôl tro ar Lywodraeth y DU i ddarparu rhagor o gyllid ar gyfer buddsoddi cyfalaf. Yn y Cyfarfod Pedairochrog diweddar rhwng y Gweinidogion Cyllid roeddem yn glir mai hybu twf ac amddiffyn swyddi yw’r flaenoriaeth i ni o hyd. Mewn llythyr ar y cyd â Gweinidogion Cyllid yr Alban a Gogledd Iwerddon yr wythnos diwethaf, galwyd ar y Prif Ysgrifennydd i ddarparu rhagor o gyllid ar gyfer prosiectau seilwaith er mwyn hybu twf economaidd ac amddiffyn swyddi. Mae’r cyhoeddiad a wnaed heddiw yn rhoi setliad cyfalaf siomedig i ni, nad yw’n darparu rhagor o gyllid, ac a fydd yn gwneud fawr ddim i hybu’r economi.
We have repeatedly called on the UK Government to boost the funds available for capital investment.  At the recent Finance Ministers’ Quadrilateral we were clear that our priority continues to be to stimulate growth and to protect jobs.  In a joint letter with the Scottish and Northern Irish Finance Ministers last week, we called on the Chief Secretary for a funding boost for infrastructure projects to stimulate economic growth and to protect jobs.  Today’s announcement is a disappointing capital settlement which does not increase the funding available and will do little to boost the economy.
