I am writing to inform the Senedd of a recent consent to the UK Government exercising a delegated legislative power in a devolved area in relation to Wales. Agreement was sought to the making of The Social Security (Scotland) Act 2018 (Disability Assistance and Information Sharing) (Consequential Provision and Modifications) Order 2022\. This is the second Order to be made under section 104 of the Scotland Act 1998 in consequence of section 31 of the Social Security (Scotland) Act 2018\.  

  

Section 104 of the Scotland Act 1998 enables the Secretary of State to make provision which is considered necessary or expedient in consequence of any provision made by or under an Act of the Scottish Parliament.


Article 11 of the proposed Order amends regulation 53 of the Representation of the People (England and Wales) Regulations 2001 to enable individuals to apply to vote by proxy in UK Parliamentary elections and local government elections in England and Wales without the need for proof (attestation) of their application if they are in receipt of the enhanced rate of the mobility component of a new disability benefit in Scotland called the Adult Disability Payment (ADP). The amendments to Regulation 53, insofar as they relate to proxy vote applications for local government elections in Wales are making provision in an area which is within the Senedd’s legislative competence.  

  

The effect of the Order is that an individual who has recently moved to Wales and is temporarily still in receipt of the enhanced rate of the mobility component of ADP payable in Scotland will still be entitled to apply to vote by proxy without proof (attestation) of their application in a Welsh local government election, subject to satisfying all relevant registration conditions.


The proposed amendment is consistent with the approach that The Social Security (Scotland) Act 2018 (Disability Assistance, Young Carer Grants, Short\-term Assistance and Winter Heating Assistance) (Consequential Provision and Modifications) Order 2021 previously took towards individuals who are in receipt of the mobility component of disability assistance for children and young people at the higher rate in Scotland.


The amendment will provide continuity for individuals and allow them to participate in the democratic process on the same basis that they would have been entitled to, had their new claim for social security benefit payable in Wales been processed at the relevant time. As this would be for a narrow time period and would be likely to have a limited impact I therefore agreed to the Order being taken forward by the UK Government on the same basis as the 2021 Order.  

  

The Order will be laid before the UK Parliament on 27 January 2022\.

Ysgrifennaf i hysbysu’r Senedd am gydsyniad diweddar i Lywodraeth y DU arfer pŵer deddfwriaethol dirprwyedig mewn maes datganoledig mewn perthynas â Chymru. Ceisiwyd cytundeb i wneud Gorchymyn Deddf Nawdd Cymdeithasol (Yr Alban) 2018 (Cymorth Anabledd a Rhannu Gwybodaeth) (Darpariaeth Ganlyniadol ac Addasiadau) 2022\. Hwn yw’r ail Orchymyn i gael ei wneud o dan adran 104 o Ddeddf yr Alban 1998 o ganlyniad i adran 31 o Ddeddf Nawdd Cymdeithasol (Yr Alban) 2018\.


Mae adran 104 o Ddeddf yr Alban 1998 yn galluogi’r Ysgrifennydd Gwladol i wneud darpariaeth yr ystyrir ei bod yn angenrheidiol neu’n fuddiol o ganlyniad i unrhyw ddarpariaeth a wneir gan neu o dan Ddeddf gan Senedd yr Alban.


Mae erthygl 11 o’r Gorchymyn arfaethedig yn diwygio rheoliad 53 o Reoliadau Cynrychiolaeth y Bobl (Cymru a Lloegr) 2001\. Bydd y diwygiadau yn galluogi unigolion cymwys i ymgeisio am bleidlais drwy ddirprwy yn etholiadau Senedd y DU ac etholiadau llywodraeth leol yng Nghymru a Lloegr heb fod angen prawf o’u cais (heb fod angen iddo gael ei ardystio) os ydynt yn derbyn yr elfen symudedd o gymorth anabledd newydd yn yr Alban, a elwir yn Daliad Anabledd i Oedolion (ADP), ar y raddfa uwch. Mae’r diwygiadau i reoliad 53, i’r graddau eu bod yn berthnasol i geisiadau am bleidlais drwy ddirprwy ar gyfer etholiadau llywodraeth leol yng Nghymru, yn gwneud darpariaeth mewn maes sydd o fewn cymhwysedd deddfwriaethol y Senedd.


Effaith y Gorchymyn yw bod unigolion sydd wedi symud i Gymru yn ddiweddar ac sy’n parhau, am y tro, i dderbyn yr elfen symudedd o’r cymorth ADP ar y raddfa uwch sy’n daladwy yn yr Alban yn dal yn gymwys i ymgeisio am bleidlais drwy ddirprwy mewn etholiad llywodraeth leol yng Nghymru heb fod angen prawf o’u cais (heb fod angen iddo gael ei ardystio), ar yr amod y bodlonir yr holl amodau cofrestru perthnasol.


Mae’r diwygiad arfaethedig yn gyson â’r dull a fabwysiadwyd cyn hyn gan Orchymyn Deddf Nawdd Cymdeithasol (Yr Alban) 2018 (Cymorth Anabledd, Grantiau Gofalwyr Ifanc, Cymorth Tymor Byr a Chymorth Gwresogi'r Gaeaf) (Darpariaeth Ganlyniadol ac Addasiadau) 2021 mewn perthynas ag unigolion sy’n derbyn yr elfen symudedd o gymorth anabledd i blant a phobl ifanc ar y gyfradd uwch yn yr Alban.


Bydd y diwygiad yn rhoi parhad i unigolion ac yn caniatáu iddynt gymryd rhan yn y broses ddemocrataidd ar yr un sail ag y byddent wedi bod yn gymwys i’w wneud pe bai eu hawliad newydd am fudd\-daliadau nawdd cymdeithasol sy’n daladwy yng Nghymru wedi cael ei brosesu ar yr adeg berthnasol. Gan mai am gyfnod byr y byddai hyn, ac mae’n debygol mai cyfyngedig fyddai’r effaith, cytunais felly fod Llywodraeth y DU yn parhau â’r Gorchymyn ar yr un sail â Gorchymyn 2021\.  

  

Bydd y Gorchymyn yn cael ei osod gerbron Senedd y DU ar 27 Ionawr 2022\.
