Bore da, bawb, a chroeso i chi i gyd i Bwyllgor y Blynyddoedd Cynnar, Plant a Phobl Ifanc ac Addysg y seithfed Senedd. Nodwch os gwelwch yn dda bod eitemau cyhoeddus y cyfarfod yn cael eu darlledu'n fyw ar Senedd.tv a bydd cofnod o'r trafodion yn cael ei gyhoeddi fel arfer. Mae yna gyfieithu ar gael heddiw o'r Gymraeg i'r Saesneg, felly bydd y cyfarfod yn gwbl ddwyieithog. Ni chafwyd unrhyw ymddiheuriadau heddiw. Oes yna unrhyw fuddiant i'w ddatgan gan unrhyw Aelod heddiw, os gwelwch yn dda? Ie, Donna, diolch.

Good morning, and a warm welcome to you all to this meeting of the Early Years, Children, Young People and Education Committee in the seventh Senedd. Please note that the public items of the meeting are being broadcast live on Senedd.tv and that a record of proceedings will be published as usual. Interpretation is available today from Welsh to English, so the meeting will be fully bilingual. We've not received any apologies today. Are there any declarations of interest from any Members? Yes, Donna, thank you.

Yes, item 2. I was on the Petitions Committee when that particular item was discussed, so I declare an interest on that.

Diolch, Donna. Thank you.

Unrhyw un arall gyda unrhyw fuddiant i'w ddatgan? Lynne.

Thank you, Donna. Anyone else with any declarations of interest? Lynne.

Diolch. I'd also like to refer Members to my register of interests. We've all got a link, haven't we, in terms of education in some form or another, but we've all recorded those on our register of interests.
