In my Written Statement of 11 July last year, following the conclusion of the Coroner’s Inquest into the tragic death of Carl Sargeant, I told Members that I thought it was right that there should be a period of reflection and that I would assess what further steps should be taken, in consultation with the Sargeant family and other interested parties.


I subsequently invited the Chair of ACAS Sir Brendan Barber, acting in a personal capacity, to speak with the parties to see if an agreed way forward could be found.  I am most grateful to Sir Brendan for agreeing to undertake this work.  I am also grateful to the family of the late Carl Sargeant and to the former First Minister Carwyn Jones for their constructive engagement. 


As a result of his discussions Sir Brendan has made two recommendations to me.  First that the Independent Investigation should not proceed, and second that the Welsh Government should meet the reasonable outstanding legal costs of the Sargeant family.  I have decided to accept and to implement both.  I am attaching with this Statement copies of the exchange of letters between Sir Brendan and myself, which set out the results of his discussions and his recommendations, together with my response. 


I know that all parties involved now share a wish to bring an end to the public controversy in relation to the tragic death of Carl, allowing us all to remember him as the valued husband, father, colleague and friend that he was.

Yn fy Natganiad Ysgrifenedig ar 11 Gorffennaf y llynedd, yn dilyn casgliad Cwest y Crwner i farwolaeth drasig Carl Sargeant, dywedais wrth yr Aelodau fy mod yn credu y byddai’n briodol inni gael cyfnod o adlewyrchu, ac y byddwn innau hefyd yn asesu pa gamau y dylid eu cymryd, mewn ymgynghoriad â’r teulu Sargeant ac eraill perthnasol.


Estynnais wahoddiad i Gadeirydd ACAS Syr Brendan Barber, gan weithredu mewn rhinwedd bersonol, i siarad â’r bobl berthnasol i weld a fyddai’n bosibl dod o hyd i gytundeb ynglŷn â’r ffordd ymlaen. Rwy’n hynod ddiolchgar i Syr Brendan am gytuno i wneud y gwaith hwn. Rwyf hefyd yn ddiolchgar i deulu’r diweddar Carl Sargeant a’r cyn Brif Weinidog Carwyn Jones am eu hymwneud adeiladol â’r broses.  


O ganlyniad i’w drafodaethau, mae Syr Brendan wedi gwneud dau argymhelliad imi. Y cyntaf yw na ddylai’r Ymchwiliad Annibynnol fynd rhagddo, a’r ail yw y dylai Llywodraeth Cymru dalu’r costau cyfreithiol rhesymol sydd gan y teulu Sargeant yn weddill. Rwyf wedi penderfynu derbyn a gweithredu’r ddau argymhelliad. Rwy’n atodi copïau o’r llythyrau rhwng Syr Brendan a minnau gyda’r Datganiad hwn. Mae’r llythyrau hyn yn amlinellu canlyniadau’r trafodaethau a’i argymhellion ef, ynghyd â’m hymateb innau. 


Rwy’n gwybod y bydd pawb a fu’n rhan o hyn yn awr yn rhannu’r dymuniad i ddod â’r trin a thrafod cyhoeddus ynglŷn â marwolaeth drasig Carl i ben, gan alluogi pob un ohonom i’w gofio fel gŵr, tad, cydweithiwr a chyfaill gwerthfawr.
