Yn dilyn ymosodiad Rwsia ar Wcráin ar 24 Chwefror, mae Llywodraeth y Deyrnas Unedig wedi diwygio ei Rheolau Mewnfudo er mwyn darparu hawliau ychwanegol i gael arian cyhoeddus, sy’n cynnwys mynediad at dai a chymorth ar gyfer digartrefedd, i bobl a ddaw i’r Deyrnas Unedig i ddianc rhag y gyflafan. Mae'r gwelliannau hynny hefyd yn berthnasol i bobl sydd yn y DU ar hyn o bryd nad ydynt yn gymwys neu y bydd eu caniatad yn cwblhau cyn i'r gyflafan dod i ben. I sicrhau bod y gyfraith tai yng Nghymru yn cyd\-fynd â’r Rheolau Mewnfudo, er mwyn gallu gwneud y grŵp o bobl hynny yn gymwys ar gyfer tai cymdeithasol a chymorth digartrefedd, mae’n fwriad gennyf i osod drafft o Reoliadau Dyrannu Tai a Digartrefedd (Cymhwystra) (Cymru) (Diwygio) 2022 (“y Rheoliadau drafft 2022”) gerbron y Senedd. Bydd y rhai sy’n gymwys, gan gynnwys gwladolion Prydain neu’r rhai nad ydynt yn ddarostyngedig i reolau mewnfudo, wedi’u heithrio o’r prawf preswylio fel arfer.


Gan fod pobl eisoes yn cyrraedd Cymru o'r Wcráin, rhaid gwneud y newidiadau hyn cyn gynted â phosibl. O ganlyniad, caiff Rheoliadau drafft 2022 eu gosod ar 8 Ebrill i'w hystyried gan y Senedd ar 26 Ebrill. Sylweddolaf fod y broses garlam hon ar gyfer ystyried Rheoliadau drafft 2022 yn anarferol, ond rwyf wedi cymryd y cam hwn oherwydd yr angen ymdrin â’r sefyllfa ar frys a'r ansicrwydd posibl o ran sut i drin pobl sy'n ceisio noddfa yng Nghymru.


Rwyf wedi ysgrifennu at y Pwyllgor Deddfwriaeth, Cyfiawnder a’r Cyfansoddiad i geisio’u cymorth ar gyfer ystyried y Rheoliadau ar frys, fel y gall Aelodau’r Senedd weld adroddiad y Pwyllgor cyn y ddadl ar 26 Ebrill 2022\.

Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine on 24 February, the UK Government has amended its Immigration Rules to provide additional rights to public funds, which include access to housing and homelessness assistance, for people coming to the UK who are fleeing the conflict. Those amendments also apply to people currently in the UK who are not eligible or whose leave will expire before the conflict is over. To align housing law in Wales with the Immigration Rules, so that this group of people can be made eligible to apply for social housing and homelessness assistance, I intend to lay the draft Allocation of Housing and Homelessness (Eligibility) (Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2022 (“the draft 2022 Regulations”). Those eligible, including British nationals and others not subject to immigration control, will be exempt from the habitual residence test.


As people are already arriving in the Wales from Ukraine these changes must be made as soon as possible. Consequently, the draft 2022 Regulations will be laid on 8 April for consideration by the Senedd on 26 April. I appreciate that this accelerated process for considering the draft 2022 Regulations is unusual, but due to the urgency of the situation and potential uncertainty in the treatment of people seeking sanctuary in Wales, I have taken this step.


I have written to the Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee to seek their assistance for urgent consideration of the Regulations, in order that Members of the Senedd have sight of the Committee’s report before the debate on 26 April 2022\.
