Credaf fod yr Aelod yn gwneud pwynt pwysig iawn yn yr ystyr fod gan awdurdodau lleol rôl arwyddocaol yn y gwaith o hybu twf economaidd yn eu hardaloedd. Un o fy mhryderon yn ystod fy nghyfnod yn y swydd hon yw diffyg capasiti ac adnoddau mewn rhai rhannau o Gymru i wneud hynny ar lefel yr awdurdodau lleol, a dyna pam rwy’n cymeradwyo’r dull a fabwysiadir ar lefel ranbarthol, drwy ardaloedd y dinas-ranbarthau a rhanbarthau cytundeb twf, i ddod â’r rhai sy’n llwyddo i sbarduno twf lleol a’r rhai sydd â phrofiad o allforio at ei gilydd. Nawr, yr hyn a wnaethom yn ne Cymru ac yng ngogledd Cymru—ac rydym yn ystyried gwneud yr un peth yn y canolbarth—yw dod â’r rhai sy’n gyfrifol am ddatblygu economaidd a’r rhai sydd â phrofiad o allforio at ei gilydd ar lefel yr awdurdodau lleol, ac estyn allan at yr holl allforwyr posibl ym mhob rhanbarth er mwyn sicrhau eu bod yn derbyn yr holl gyngor a chefnogaeth sydd eu hangen i fanteisio ar allforion yn y dyfodol.
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.
