Gosodir y datganiad ysgrifenedig hwn o dan Reol Sefydlog 30:  “Hysbysu mewn perthynas â Biliau Senedd y DU”. Mae’n ymwneud â darpariaeth ym Mil Cymru (y Bil), a wneir trwy welliant, sy’n addasu swyddogaethau Gweinidogion Cymru, ond nad oes angen Cynnig Cydsyniad Deddfwriaethol ar ei gyfer o dan Reol Sefydlog 29\.

Amcanion polisi datganedig Llywodraeth y DU ar gyfer y Bil yw gwneud Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru (“y Cynulliad”) a Llywodraeth Cymru’n fwy atebol i bobl Cymru am godi’r arian y mae’n ei wario, a gwella’r system etholiadau i’r Cynulliad.

Y gwelliant perthnasol yw gwelliant rhif 1 yn y “Marshalled List of Amendments to be moved on Third Reading” sydd i’w weld ar wefan y Senedd trwy’r ddolen isod.    
Lords Amendments: Wales Bill (21st November 2014\)  

Mae Cymal 13 o Fil Cymru’n darparu’r mecanwaith sy’n galluogi’r Cynulliad i sbarduno refferendwm ynghylch a ddylid cael cyfradd treth incwm i Gymru.  Caiff Prif Weinidog Cymru neu un o Weinidogion Cymru gyflwyno cynnig yn y Cynulliad y dylid gwneud argymhelliad i’w Mawrhydi i wneud Gorchymyn i gynnal refferendwm.

Ar 24 Tachwedd yn y Trydydd darlleniad yn Nhŷ’r Arglwyddi, cytunwyd ar welliant i gymal 13 o’r Bil sy’n ei gwneud yn ofynnol bod rhaid i unrhyw gynnig o’r fath sy’n cael ei gyflwyno ddatgan ai 16 neu 18 oed fydd yr oedran pleidleisio yn y refferendwm arfaethedig. Cafodd gwelliannau canlyniadol eu gwneud i Atodlen 1 hefyd. Felly byddai’n ofynnol i Brif Weinidog Cymru neu Weinidogion Cymru, fel gofyniad  statudol newydd o dan Fil Cymru, gynnig yr etholfraint ar gyfer unrhyw refferendwm treth incwm, i’w ystyried gan y Cynulliad.  

Mae Llywodraeth Cymru o’r farn ei bod yn briodol i’r darpariaethau hyn gael eu gwneud, a hynny trwy gyfrwng Bil Cymru, am na allai’r darpariaethau gael eu gwneud trwy Ddeddf Cynulliad.

This written statement is laid under Standing Order 30:  “Notification in relation to UK Parliament Bills”. It relates to provision in the Wales Bill (the Bill), made by amendment, which modifies Welsh Ministers’ functions, but which does not require a Legislative Consent Motion under Standing Order 29\.


The UK Government’s expressed policy objectives for the Bill are to make the National Assembly for Wales (“the Assembly”) and the Welsh Government more accountable to the people of Wales for raising the money they spend, and to improve the system of elections to the Assembly.


The relevant amendment is amendment number 1 in the “Marshalled List of Amendments to be moved on Third Reading” found on the Parliament website via the link below.    

Lords Amendments: Wales Bill (21st November 2014\)  


Clause 13 of the Wales Bill provides the mechanism through which the Assembly can trigger a referendum on whether there should be a Welsh rate of income tax.  The First Minister or a Welsh Minister may move a resolution in the Assembly that a recommendation should be made to Her Majesty to make an Order to hold a referendum.


On 24 November at Third Reading in the House of Lords, an amendment was agreed to clause 13 of the Bill which requires that any such resolution moved must state whether the voting age at the proposed referendum is to be 16 or 18\. Consequential amendments were also made to Schedule 1\. Therefore the First Minister or Welsh Ministers would, as a new statutory requirement under the Wales Bill, be required to propose the franchise for any income tax referendum, for the Assembly’s consideration.  


The Welsh Government considers it appropriate for these provisions to be made, and to be made by means of the Wales Bill, because the provisions could not be made by an Assembly Act.
