Diolch i chi am yr ateb hwnnw, Weinidog. Mae rhaglen ysgolion yr unfed ganrif ar hugain wedi bod yn enghraifft ardderchog hyd yn hyn o sut y gallwn wella’r cyfleusterau addysg ar gyfer ein plant ifanc. Yn fy etholaeth fy hun, rydym newydd weld Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet yn agor Ysgol Bae Baglan yn swyddogol; mae Awel y Môr wedi cael ei chreu; a cheir tri safle newydd ym Margam; yr ysgol uwchradd cyfrwng Cymraeg newydd yn Sandfields; a’r ysgol gynradd newydd yn Llansawel. Ond mae hyn yn bwysig, gan fod gennym ysgolion yng nghategorïau C a D o hyd, lle y mae angen ysgolion newydd yn lle’r ysgolion hynny. Rydych wedi rhoi llinell amser o 2019-24 i mi, ond pa feini prawf y gallwn eu cael ar waith i sicrhau bod yr ysgolion sydd angen symud ymlaen yn awr at y cam nesaf yn gallu cyflwyno eu ceisiadau cyn gynted ag y bo modd er mwyn sicrhau y gellir rhoi’r cyllid ar gyfer y plant sy’n mynd i’r ysgolion hynny, a’r cyfleusterau addysg ar gyfer y plant sy’n mynd i’r ysgolion hynny, ar waith cyn gynted â phosibl?
The cabinet is the group of twenty or so (and no more than 22) senior government ministers who are responsible for running the departments of state and deciding government policy.
It is chaired by the prime minister.
The cabinet is bound by collective responsibility, which means that all its members must abide by and defend the decisions it takes, despite any private doubts that they might have.
Cabinet ministers are appointed by the prime minister and chosen from MPs or peers of the governing party.
However, during periods of national emergency, or when no single party gains a large enough majority to govern alone, coalition governments have been formed with cabinets containing members from more than one political party.
War cabinets have sometimes been formed with a much smaller membership than the full cabinet.
From time to time the prime minister will reorganise the cabinet in order to bring in new members, or to move existing members around. This reorganisation is known as a cabinet re-shuffle.
The cabinet normally meets once a week in the cabinet room at Downing Street.
