Pa drafodaethau mae'r Gweinidog wedi'u cael gydag Undeb Rygbi Cymru mewn perthynas â'r benthyciad o £18 miliwn gan Lywodraeth Cymru i'r undeb, ac oedd unrhyw amodau ar y benthyciad a sut oedd yr arian hwnnw i gael ei wario?

I have regular discussions with the WRU in relation to the loan and other matters. The Welsh Government entered into a formal loan agreement with the WRU in early 2022 to enable settlement of the UK Government’s Coronavirus Large Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CLBILS) loan.  The CLBILS loan was taken out during COVID to support the four regions in their recovery from the Covid pandemic and there are general conditions in respect of the loan. Under the terms of the agreement, we have formal quarterly meetings with the WRU and an independent account manager oversees the ongoing arrangement, through a formal agency agreement with the Development Bank of Wales.
