Yn dilyn cymeradwyaeth y Senedd ym mis Mehefin o’r argymhellion a wnaed gan y Pwyllgor Diben Arbennig ar Ddiwygio’r Senedd, cyhoeddodd Llywodraeth Cymru ei hymateb ffurfiol, gan wneud ymrwymiad i lunio a chyflwyno deddfwriaeth i roi’r argymhellion hynny ar waith.


Fel nododd ymateb Llywodraeth Cymru: “Mewn rhai achosion, gofynnir i Bwyllgor Busnes y Senedd hefyd ystyried yr argymhellion. Bydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn gweithio gyda’r Pwyllgor Busnes ar y meysydd penodol hyn”.


Rwy’n ddiolchgar i’r Pwyllgor Busnes am ei waith diweddar o ran Diwygio’r Senedd, ac am y casgliadau sydd wedi’u nodi yn ei adroddiad a gyhoeddwyd ar 9 Rhagfyr. Byddwn yn ystyried y casgliadau hyn – sy’n ymwneud â nifer y Gweinidogion, Llywyddion a Dirprwy Lywyddion, a Chomisiynwyr y Senedd, yn ogystal â materion sy’n ymwneud ag Aelodau’r Senedd yn ceisio newid pleidiau rhwng etholiadau – wrth inni ddatblygu’r ddeddfwriaeth berthnasol a’r gwaith polisi a chyflawni cysylltiedig.


Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn parhau i ddatblygu’r rhaglen waith gyffredinol sy’n ofynnol i drosi argymhellion y Pwyllgor Diben Arbennig ar Ddiwygio’r Senedd i’r ddeddfwriaeth sydd ei hangen i weithredu’r diwygiadau, yn unol â’r amserlenni a amlinellir yn y Cytundeb Cydweithio. Wrth wneud hynny, byddwn yn parhau i weithio mewn partneriaeth â Chomisiwn y Senedd a phartneriaid eraill wrth ddatblygu rhaglen waith gyffredinol ar gyfer y diwygiadau. Mae ymgysylltu pellach â phartneriaid allanol wedi’i gynllunio ar gyfer y flwyddyn newydd.


Byddwn yn rhoi’r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i’r Senedd ar ddatblygiad y gwaith hwn erbyn Pasg 2023\.

Following the Senedd’s endorsement in June of the recommendations made by the Special Purpose Committee on Senedd Reform (SPC), the Welsh Government issued its formal response, committing to prepare and introduce legislation to take those recommendations forward.


As the Welsh Government response noted: “In some cases, the Senedd’s Business Committee is also asked to consider the recommendations. The Welsh Government will work with the Business Committee on these specific areas”.


I am grateful to the Business Committee for its recent work in respect of Senedd Reform, and for the conclusions set out in its report published on 9 December. We will take into account these conclusions – which relate to the number of Welsh Ministers, Presiding and Deputy Presiding Officers, and Senedd Commissioners, as well as issues related to Senedd Members seeking to change party between elections – as we develop the relevant legislation and the associated policy and delivery work.


The Welsh Government continues to progress the overall programme of work required to translate the SPC recommendations into the legislation necessary to implement the reforms, in line with the timescales outlined in the Co\-Operation Agreement. In doing so, we will continue to work in partnership with the Senedd Commission and with other partners in developing the overall delivery programme for the reforms. Further engagement with external partners is planned for the new year.


We will provide a further update to the Senedd on progress with this work by Easter 2023\.
