Professor Drakeford visited the House of Lords on Monday (29 January) to brief peers on his concerns with the EU Withdrawal Bill along with Scottish Brexit Secretary Mike Russell, Lord Jim Wallace, the former Deputy First Minister of Scotland, Welsh Government officials and former diplomat Sir Emyr Jones Parry.


The Finance Secretary presented his concerns to peers about clause 11 and other aspects of the bill which, as it currently stands, will mean powers in areas which are devolved to the National Assembly will have new restrictions placed on them once we leave the EU.


The Welsh and Scottish governments published amendments to the bill in September but these were defeated in the House of Commons as a result of the UK government opposition to them. Despite undertakings to do so, the government has not yet brought forward its own amendments to address the concerns about clause 11 and other aspects of the bill. The Welsh and Scottish Governments are therefore urging the House of Lords to consider supporting similar amendments, if the UK government does not bring forward its own amendments which are agreed with the Devolved Administrations.


Ever since the EU Withdrawal Bill, was published, the Welsh Government has resisted its power grab in devolved areas. Working with Scottish counterparts and peers  from both sides of the House of Lords, efforts will be redoubled to bring about the necessary substantial change to it.


Mark Drakeford said:



> “‘I am encouraged by the fantastic turnout and strong support from peers yesterday. I will work hard with peers from all sides of the House to ensure they have the briefing and information necessary to address this issue. What we now need is that the UK Government will come up with a satisfactory amendment early enough to mean a fight is not necessary. Be in no doubt, however, that if such an amendment is not produced, we will do everything we can to defeat this aspect of the bill and to bring about the changes which protect the devolution settlement across the UK."


A vote upon the inclusion of amendments to the EU Withdrawal Bill will take place later in February.

Bu’r Athro Drakeford yn Nhŷ’r Arglwyddi ddydd Llun (29 Ionawr) yn sôn wrth yr arglwyddi am ei bryderon ynglŷn â’r Bil Ymadael â’r UE. Gydag ef roedd Ysgrifennydd Brexit yr Alban, Mike Russell, yr Arglwydd Jim Wallace, cyn Dirprwy Brif Weinidog yr Alban, swyddogion o Lywodraeth Cymru a’r cyn\-ddiplomydd Syr Emyr Jones Parry.


Cyflwynodd yr Ysgrifennydd Cyllid  ei bryderon ynglŷn â chymal 11 y Bil, yn ogystal â  rhai agweddau eraill arno . Ar ei ffurf bresennol, bydd y Bil yn arwain at osod cyfyngiadau newydd ar bwerau mewn meysydd sydd wedi’u datganoli i’r Cynulliad Cenedlaethol, unwaith y byddwn wedi ymadael â’r UE.


Cyhoeddodd Llywodraeth Cymru a Llywodraeth yr Alban welliannau i’r Bil ym mis Medi, ond cafodd y rhain eu trechu yn Nhŷ’r Cyffredin yn sgil gwrthwynebiad Llywodraeth y DU iddynt. Er iddi ddweud y byddai’n gwneud hynny, nid yw’r Llywodraeth wedi cyflwyno’i gwelliannau ei hun hyd yma i ymdrin â’r pryderon ynghylch cymal 11 ac agweddau eraill ar y bil. Felly, mae Llywodraethau Cymru a’r Alban yn pwyso ar Dŷ’r Arglwyddi i ystyried cefnogi gwelliannau tebyg, os na fydd Llywodraeth y DU yn cyflwyno gwelliannau y bydd wedi cytuno arnynt gyda’r Gweinyddiaethau Datganoledig.


Ers i’r Bil Ymadael â’r UE gael ei gyhoeddi, mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi gwrthwynebu’r ymgais sydd ynddo i gipio pwerau mewn meysydd sydd wedi’u datganoli. Bydd yr ymdrech yn dwysáu yn awr, ar y cyd â chymheiriaid yn yr Alban ac arglwyddi ar ddwy ochr Tŷ’r Arglwyddi, i sicrhau y gwneir y newid sylweddol y mae angen ei wneud i’r Bil.


Dywedodd Mark Drakeford:



> “Roedd yn galonogol gweld cynifer o arglwyddi’n bresennol ddoe a chlywed cymaint o gefnogaeth. Byddaf yn mynd ati i weithio’n galed gydag arglwyddi ar bob ochr i’r Tŷ, gan sicrhau eu bod yn cael yr holl wybodaeth sydd ei hangen arnynt i fynd i’r afael â’r mater hwn. Mae angen nawr i Lywodraeth y DU gyflwyno gwelliant boddhaol yn ddigon buan i osgoi brwydr. Ond, does dim dwywaith amdani, os na ddaw gwelliant o’r fath i law, byddwn yn gwneud popeth yn ein gallu i drechu’r elfen hon yn y Bil ac i sicrhau’r newidiadau a fydd yn diogelu’r setliad datganoli ar draws y DU.”


Bydd pleidlais i benderfynu a ddylid cynnwys gwelliannau i’r Bil Ymadael â’r UE yn cael ei chynnal yn nes ymlaen ym mis Chwefror.
