Members will understand that this answer is subject to the established law officers' convention, which exists to protect the confidentiality of my legal adviser role. So, whereas as I can't say whether I've had any discussions, I can certainly tell you that it's a very early stage, and I haven't had any meetings at all yet on any matter. But I can say that the Welsh Government is committed to playing a full part in discussions around the timing and terms of UK withdrawal from the European Union, and around the shape of our future relationship with Europe.

Bydd yr Aelodau'n deall bod yr ateb hwn yn amodol ar gonfensiwn sefydledig swyddogion y gyfraith, sy'n bodoli i ddiogelu cyfrinachedd fy rôl fel cynghorydd cyfreithiol. Felly, er nad wyf yn gallu dweud a wyf wedi cael unrhyw drafodaethau, gallaf yn sicr ddweud wrthych ei bod yn gynnar iawn, ac nid wyf wedi cael unrhyw gyfarfodydd o gwbl eto ar unrhyw fater. Ond gallaf ddweud bod Llywodraeth Cymru wedi ymrwymo i chwarae rhan lawn yn y trafodaethau ynglŷn ag amseriad a thelerau ymadawiad y DU â'r Undeb Ewropeaidd, ac ynglŷn â ffurf ein perthynas ag Ewrop yn y dyfodol.
Cyfieithwch i'r Gymraeg:

Thank you. I had an excellent time visiting a clinic providing community dental services in Llanelli in September. I'd like to thank everyone who has been working in communities across Wales, particularly during the red period of the pandemic, to ensure that emergency services were available.

Diolch. Ces i amser gwych yn ymweld â chlinig a oedd yn rhoi gwasanaethau deintyddol cymunedol yn Llanelli ym mis Medi. Hoffwn ddiolch i bawb sydd wedi bod yn gweithio yn y cymunedau ar draws Cymru, yn enwedig yn ystod cyfnod coch y pandemig, yn sicrhau bod triniaeth frys ar gael.
Gweinidog, yr wythnos diwethaf, cyhoeddodd BBC Cymru stori yn cynnwys amrywiaeth o bryderon gan Sefydliad Bevan ynghylch cyflwyno dewis Llywodraeth Cymru o ran prydau ysgol am ddim i bob ysgol gynradd, a fydd yn dechrau ym mis Medi. Yn syml, nid oes gan lawer o ysgolion y seilwaith i gynnig pryd o fwyd i bob disgybl. Bydd cyfyngiadau ar geginau, seddi a gallu staffio. Cyn diwedd tymor yr haf, mae angen gwirioneddol i ni gael yr wybodaeth ddiweddaraf gan y Gweinidog addysg sy'n nodi'r heriau allweddol, ac a ydyn nhw wedi eu goresgyn, a pha gamau y mae ef ac awdurdodau lleol yn mynd i'w cymryd i fodloni'r disgwyliadau ymhlith rhieni yr ydych chi wedi eu creu. Diolch yn fawr, Gweinidog.

Minister, last week, BBC Wales carried a story featuring a range of concerns from the Bevan Foundation about the roll-out of the Welsh Government's free-school-meals option for all primary schools, which is to be commenced in September. Many schools simply don't have the infrastructure to offer a meal to all pupils. There will be limitations on kitchens, seating and staffing capacity. Before the end of the summer term, we really do need an update from the education Minister setting out the key challenges, whether they have been overcome, and what steps he and local authorities are going to take to meet the expectation among parents that you have created. Thank you, Minister.
Thank you very much, and good morning to both of you. I just want to look at the question of recovery post COVID and ask specifically about the innovation that needs to happen from hereon in, just to ensure that more people can be treated safely and in a timely manner. So, what's your opinion as to the main areas where we need to innovate? It could be creating COVID-lite areas or hospitals, or safe wards, reinforce how we test staff and patients so that we increase the stream of patients coming in. Andy first.

Diolch yn fawr iawn, a bore da i'r ddau ohonoch chi. Dwi jest eisiau edrych ar y cwestiwn o adfer ar ôl COVID a gofyn yn benodol am yr arloesi sydd angen digwydd o hyn ymlaen er mwyn sicrhau bod mwy o bobl yn gallu cael triniaeth yn ddiogel ac yn amserol. Beth ydy'ch barn chi ynglŷn â'r prif feysydd lle mae angen arloesi? Gallai o fod yn creu ardaloedd COVID lite neu ysbytai COVID lite, ardaloedd COVID ddiogel, cryfhau sut ydyn ni'n profi staff a chleifion er mwyn gwella llif y cleifion, ac ati. Andy gyntaf.
That is something that the Cabinet Secretary for health will be able to announce in due course. We all know, of course, that it's hugely important that we provide as many training places as we can and places in areas where people can gain the greatest experience that they can, whilst, of course, building on the recruitment campaign that's been so successful in bringing doctors into Wales.

Mae hynny'n rhywbeth y bydd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros iechyd yn gallu ei gyhoeddi maes o law. Rydym ni i gyd yn gwybod, wrth gwrs, ei bod hi'n eithriadol o bwysig ein bod ni'n darparu cymaint o leoedd hyfforddi ag y gallwn ni a lleoedd mewn meysydd lle y gall pobl gael y profiad mwyaf posibl, gan, wrth gwrs, adeiladu ar yr ymgyrch recriwtio sydd wedi bod mor llwyddiannus o ran dod â meddygon i Gymru.
No, I do not believe that to be the case. I want to ensure that Welsh-domiciled students that have the academic ability and the desire to study at a higher education level have the opportunity to do so, and are supported by the most generous system of student support in the United Kingdom.

Nac ydw, nid wyf yn credu bod hynny'n wir. Rwyf am sicrhau bod myfyrwyr o Gymru sydd â gallu academaidd a'r awydd i astudio ar lefel addysg uwch yn cael cyfle i wneud hynny, ac yn cael eu cefnogi gan y system fwyaf hael o gymorth i fyfyrwyr yn y Deyrnas Unedig.

Sorry, I just suspected that you were winding up. You haven't addressed the closed periods, which have been raised by about three or four different speakers.

Mae'n ddrwg gennyf, roeddwn yn meddwl eich bod yn dirwyn i ben. Nid ydych wedi rhoi sylw i'r cyfnodau gwaharddedig, sydd wedi'u codi gan dri neu bedwar o siaradwyr gwahanol.

I will give you the same response as I've given over the last few months, and what I'm doing is, I'm just supporting the response given at the Labour Party conference in Liverpool back in September.

Wel, rydw i'n rhoi'r un ymateb rydw i wedi'i roi dros y misoedd diwethaf, a beth rydw i'n ei wneud, rydw i jest yn cefnogi'r ymateb a oedd yng nghynhadledd y Blaid Lafur yn Lerpwl nôl ym mis Medi.

Thank you. You obviously refer to a very specific road in your constituency. I think it would be better, because you're obviously asking about financial compensation as well, if you wrote directly to the Deputy Minister for Climate Change.

Diolch. Mae'n amlwg eich bod chi'n cyfeirio at ffordd benodol iawn yn eich etholaeth. Rwy'n credu y byddai'n well, oherwydd eich bod chi'n amlwg yn gofyn am iawndal ariannol hefyd, pe baech chi'n ysgrifennu'n uniongyrchol at y Dirprwy Weinidog Newid Hinsawdd.

Well, Darren Millar never misses an opportunity to sow division and try and create a sense of grievance -

Wel, nid yw Darren Millar byth yn colli cyfle i greu rhwyg a cheisio creu ymdeimlad o anghyfiawnder -
Yn ystod y blynyddoedd diwethaf rydym wedi clywed dro ar ôl tro am ymyrraeth Putin o fewn democratiaethau gorllewinol ac etholiadau gorllewinol. Ai dyma'r amser mewn gwirionedd i danseilio rheoleiddiwr annibynnol etholiadau yma yn y Deyrnas Unedig? Erbyn hyn rydych wedi fy nghlywed ar sawl achlysur yn cwyno nid yn unig am y Bil hwn - .

In recent years we've heard time and time again about Putin's interference within western democracies and western elections. Is now really the time to undermine the independent regulator of elections here in the United Kingdom? By now you've heard me on several occasions complaining not only about this Bill - .
Thank you. This question is linked, in a way, to what you said earlier with regard to the lockdown period and its impact. To what extent do you understand that sexual harassment takes place outside of the school day, for example, online, and therefore what difference does that make, if at all, to the responsibility and capacity of schools and other settings, such as pupils referral units, to deal with these incidents?

Diolch. Mae'r cwestiwn yma'n gysylltiedig, mewn ffordd, o ran yr hyn ddywedoch chi'n gynharach ynglŷn ag effaith y cyfnod clo. I ba raddau ydych chi'n deall bod aflonyddu rhywiol yn digwydd y tu allan i'r diwrnod ysgol, er enghraifft, ar-lein, ac felly pa wahaniaeth mae hynny'n ei wneud, os o gwbl, i gyfrifoldeb a chapasiti ysgolion a lleoliadau eraill, fel unedau cyfeirio disgyblion, i fynd i'r afael â'r achosion yma?
Now, as I'm sure you'll appreciate, the UK's departure from the European Union could present significant challenges for Wales's agricultural industry, and it's crucial that the Welsh Government is tackling bovine TB in Welsh cattle, given the implications that this could have on trading with other countries post Brexit. Therefore, can you tell us what discussions the Welsh Government has already had with its European counterparts regarding post-Brexit trade and can you provide cast-iron guarantees to cattle farmers today that their businesses will not be adversely affected, post Brexit, by the Welsh Government's approach to actually tackling bovine TB?

Nawr, fel y byddwch yn deall, rwy'n siŵr, gallai ymadawiad y DU â'r Undeb Ewropeaidd arwain at heriau sylweddol i ddiwydiant amaethyddol Cymru, ac mae'n hanfodol fod Llywodraeth Cymru yn mynd i'r afael â TB buchol yng ngwartheg Cymru, o gofio'r goblygiadau a allai ddeillio o hyn ar fasnachu gyda gwledydd eraill ar ôl Brexit. Felly, a allwch ddweud wrthym pa drafodaethau y mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi eu cael eisoes gyda'i llywodraethau Ewropeaidd cyfatebol ynghylch masnachu ar ôl Brexit ac a allwch roi sicrwydd pendant i ffermwyr gwartheg heddiw na fydd eu busnesau'n dioddef ar ôl Brexit yn sgil dull Llywodraeth Cymru o fynd i'r afael â TB buchol?
I thank you for that answer, First Minister. Wales has traditionally provided disproportionate support to our armed forces, and that commitment and sacrifice needs to be honoured, especially this coming Remembrance Week. That is why your Government's increased funding for Veterans' NHS Wales, providing mental health support to ex-service personnel, and for the position of armed forces liaison officers, is so important. But the Financial Times assessment of last week's UK budget identified a real-terms drop of 1.4 per cent in the annual growth of day-to-day defence spending over the next four years - yet more Tory military cuts. Have you discussed that with UK Ministers, because the defence industry supports lots of good, high-skilled jobs in my region and Wales more widely, and we must protect the future and the quality of our armed forces' footprint?

Rwy'n diolch i chi am yr ateb yna, Prif Weinidog. Yn draddodiadol, mae Cymru wedi darparu cymorth anghymesur i'n lluoedd arfog, ac mae angen anrhydeddu'r ymrwymiad a'r aberth hwnnw, yn enwedig yn ystod yr Wythnos y Cofio nesaf. Dyna pam mae cyllid cynyddol eich Llywodraeth ar gyfer GIG Cymru i Gyn-filwyr, sy'n darparu cymorth iechyd meddwl i gyn-bersonél y lluoedd arfog, ac ar gyfer swydd swyddogion cyswllt y lluoedd arfog, mor bwysig. Ond nododd asesiad y Financial Times o gyllideb y DU yr wythnos diwethaf ostyngiad mewn termau real o 1.4 y cant i dwf blynyddol gwariant amddiffyn o ddydd i ddydd dros y pedair blynedd nesaf - mwy byth o doriadau milwrol gan y Torïaid. A ydych chi wedi trafod hynny gyda Gweinidogion y DU, oherwydd mae'r diwydiant amddiffyn yn cefnogi llawer o swyddi da, hynod fedrus yn fy rhanbarth i a Chymru yn ehangach, ac mae'n rhaid i ni ddiogelu dyfodol ac ansawdd ôl troed ein lluoedd arfog?
Again, I thank you, but I think you'll see that the thrust of my questioning is that, for instance, the European Commission Vice-President, Andrus Ansip, has said he was concerned that Chinese technology companies were required to co-operate with Chinese intelligence services on things such as mandatory back doors, which are designed to allow access to encrypted data. With those concerns in mind, leader of the house, can you assure us that all third-party suppliers will be thoroughly scrutinised?

Unwaith eto, diolch i chi, ond credaf y byddwch yn gweld mai byrdwn fy holi yw, er enghraifft, bod Is-lywydd y Comisiwn Ewropeaidd, Andrus Ansip, yn dweud ei fod yn pryderu bod angen i gwmnïau technoleg Tsieineaidd gydweithredu â gwasanaethau cudd-wybodaeth Tsieineaidd ar bethau megis drysau cefn gorfodol, sydd wedi eu cynllunio i ganiatáu mynediad i ddata wedi'i amgryptio. Gyda'r pryderon hynny mewn cof, arweinydd y tŷ, a allwch chi ein sicrhau ni y bydd yr holl gyflenwyr trydydd parti yn destun craffu trylwyr?
'To ensure the intentions of the new curriculum translate into practice, it is essential for Wales to address several issues, including a lack of deep understanding of what successful realisation of the curriculum might look like in practice'.

I sicrhau bod bwriadau'r cwricwlwm newydd yn trosi i ymarfer, mae'n hanfodol i Gymru fynd i'r afael â sawl mater, gan gynnwys diffyg dealltwriaeth ddofn o'r hyn y byddai gwireddu'r cwricwlwm yn llwyddiannus yn ei olygu yn ymarferol.
Ydy. Efallai na allaf ei gyfleu'n uchel iawn heddiw, ond - . [ Chwerthin.]

It is. I may not be able to convey it very loudly today, but - . [ Laughter.]
Hapus? Dŷn ni'n symud ymlaen nawr i ymdrin â'r concordat gofal argyfwng iechyd meddwl, ac mae David Rees yn gofyn y cwestiynau. David.

Content? Moving on now, then, to dealing with the mental health crisis care concordat, and David Rees is asking the questions. David.
Cyfieithwch i'r Gymraeg:

I'm very proud of representing my community on Cardiff Council. But I think the public sees through this. It's pretty obvious that you're trying to play party politics and achieve through legislation what you're unable to achieve through the ballot box. Two thousand, four hundred and fourteen people voted for me to sit over there last May, and, as a matter of democratic principle, you do not have the right to tell those people how they should think.

Rwy'n falch iawn o gynrychioli fy nghymuned ar Gyngor Caerdydd. Ond rwy'n credu bod y cyhoedd yn gweld drwy hyn. Mae'n eithaf amlwg eich bod yn ceisio chwarae gwleidyddiaeth plaid a chyflawni drwy ddeddfwriaeth yr hyn na allwch chi ei chyflawni drwy'r blwch pleidleisio. Pleidleisiodd dwy fil, pedwar cant a phedwar ar ddeg o bobl imi eistedd yn y fan yna fis Mai diwethaf, ac, fel mater o egwyddor ddemocrataidd, nid oes yr hawl gennych i ddweud wrth bobl sut y dylen nhw feddwl.
Thank you very much for that question. And I will find the answer in a few moments' time. Here we are. The Welsh Government has worked closely with the public service broadcasters and with Ofcom in Wales during this current public health crisis on broadcasting issues that affect Wales, despite the fact that broadcasting is not devolved.

Diolch yn fawr am y cwestiwn. Ac fe gaf i o hyd i'r ateb mewn dau funud. Dyma ni. Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi gweithio'n agos gyda darlledwyr gwasanaeth cyhoeddus a gydag Ofcom yng Nghymru yn ystod yr argyfwng iechyd cyhoeddus ar faterion darlledu sy'n effeithio ar Gymru, er gwaethaf y ffaith nad yw darlledu, wrth gwrs, wedi'i ddatganoli.
Minister, in terms of the standards in transport, can we have a timetable for when they're likely to be published?

Ocê. Weinidog, o ran y safonau ar drafnidiaeth, ydym ni'n gallu cael amserlen o ran pryd fyddan nhw'n dod mas?
Dwi'n cytuno'n llwyr efo beth mae Fiona yn ei ddweud. Fel mae Fiona yn dweud, dydy'r gweithlu ddim yna chwaith, ar y funud. Rydyn ni'n tueddu treinio pobl yma ac wedyn maen nhw'n diflannu, yn ôl i Loegr neu ddim yn dod yn ôl, efallai, i'w hardal frodorol - maen nhw'n aros lle maen nhw wedi gwneud eu cymhwyso. So, efallai eich bod chi'n cael lot o'r DCPs lawr yng Nghaerdydd, ond wedyn mae gweddill y wlad yn dioddef.

I agree entirely with Fiona's comments. As she said, the workforce isn't there either at the moment. We tend to train these people and they disappear, either they return to England or they don't come back to their own areas - they stay where they completed their training and qualifications. So, you might have many DCPs in Cardiff, but the rest of the country will suffer.
Wel, Llywydd, dwi yn rhannu y consýrn, ac mae mwy o dystiolaeth gyda ni nawr am effaith COVID hir ar bobl ifanc, ac mae'n bwysig i ni fwrw ymlaen i gasglu mwy o wybodaeth a chael mwy o gyngor gan bobl sy'n gweithio yn y maes. Yn y llythyr anfonodd y Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol at yr ysgolion yng Nghymru, beth roedd e'n ei ddweud oedd doedd dim rhaid defnyddio mygydau mewn dosbarth ' as a matter of routine '.

Llywydd, I do share that concern, and we have more evidence now about the impact of a long COVID on young people, and it's important for us to press ahead and gather more information and have more advice from those who work in that area. In the letter that the Minister for Health and Social Services sent to the schools in Wales, what that letter said was that there was no need to use masks in classrooms 'as a matter of routine'.
Mae yna ryw £30 miliwn wedi mynd i mewn iddo fe, dwi'n meddwl, a £12 miliwn arall, dwi'n meddwl, wedi cael ei adnabod. Ydy'r camau sydd wedi cael eu cymryd arno fo hyd yma yn cynrychioli gwerth am arian, fyddech chi'n dweud?

Around £30 million has been put into it, and another £12 million has been allocated or earmarked for it. Do the steps that have been taken on it so far represent value for money, do you think?
A wnewch chi dderbyn ymyriad? Rwy'n ddiolchgar i chi am dderbyn ymyriad. Pan ddywedwch 'yn y blynyddoedd i ddod', pa mor hir yw hynny?

Will you take an intervention? I'm grateful to you for taking an intervention. When you say 'in the years to come', how long does that mean?
Yes, if I can come in. Thanks. To echo what Arfon said, it's nice to be here today. Thank you for the invitation.

Ie, os gallaf i ddod i mewn. Diolch. I ategu beth mae Arfon wedi'i ddweud, mae'n neis cael bod yma heddiw. Diolch am y gwahoddiad.

Excellent. Thank you very much. Unless any Member has any further questions - I don't see any Member indicating. So, may I thank you and Dyfan and Gwenith for providing evidence this morning? There are a number of points that we've noted where we will be asking for further information from you, and the clerks will also send you a transcript. But for the time being, thank you very much, and I'm sure we will be in touch again very soon.

Grêt. Diolch yn fawr iawn. Oni bai bod gan Aelod unrhyw gwestiwn pellach - dwi ddim yn gweld unrhyw Aelod yn codi llaw. A gaf i ddiolch i chi ac i Dyfan a Gwenith hefyd am roi tystiolaeth i ni y bore yma? Mae yna nifer o bwyntiau dŷn ni wedi cymryd nodyn ohonyn nhw lle y byddwn ni'n gofyn am fwy o wybodaeth gennych chi, a bydd y clercod hefyd yn danfon transgript atoch chi o'r hyn dŷch chi wedi ei ddweud. Ond am nawr, diolch yn fawr iawn i'r tri ohonoch chi, a dwi'n siŵr y byddwn ni mewn cysylltiad eto yn fuan iawn.

Well, of course, the submission is welcome. It's important that the public inquiry is open and detailed. That, of course, is what is happening at the moment.

Wel, wrth gwrs, mae'r cyflwyniad i'w groesawu. Mae'n bwysig bod yr ymchwiliad cyhoeddus yn agored ac yn fanwl. Dyna, wrth gwrs, yw'r hyn sydd yn digwydd ar hyn o bryd.

Assembly Commission questions, question 1.

Cwestiynau Comisiwn y Cynulliad, cwestiwn 1.

Also, in doing so, we should look at the value for money that we receive. So, in looking at the funding that's currently provided, the BBC says, 'You have so much' - what's the real value of that? If our people don't know where decisions are made, what's the value-for-money aspect there? So, whilst you're carrying out that financial research, it may be worth looking at that, too.

A hefyd, wrth wneud hynny, edrych ar y gwerth am arian rŷn ni'n ei gael. Felly, wrth edrych ar yr arian sydd ar hyn o bryd, mae'r BBC yn dweud, 'O, ni'n cael llwyth' - beth yw'r gwir werth? Os nad yw ein pobl ni'n gwybod ble mae'r penderfyniadau yn cael eu gwneud, beth yw'r gwerth am yr arian yna hefyd? Tra eich bod chi'n gwneud yr ymchwil ariannol, efallai y buasai'n werth edrych ar hynny, hefyd.
Rwy'n cytuno gyda chi bod y bwrdd uchelgais wedi gwneud gwaith ardderchog yn tynnu'r awdurdodau lleol, wrth gwrs, at ei gilydd, ond partneriaid eraill sector preifat hefyd a chreu rhyw focal point neu ryw endid i yrru'r agenda economaidd yma ymlaen. Ond wrth gwrs, beth rŷm ni'n gweld yng nghynllun gweithredu economaidd y Llywodraeth yw'r posibilrwydd y bydd yna endid arall yn cael ei greu yn y gogledd, a dwi jest eisiau deall i ba raddau mae hynny'n mynd i ddyblygu gwaith. Oni ddylai'r Llywodraeth fod yn adeiladu ar y llwyddiant a'r seiliau sydd yna'n barod, yn hytrach na thrio ail-greu rhyw fath o strwythur ei hunan?

I agree with you that the ambition board has done excellent work in drawing all the local authorities together, but also other partners from the private sector to create some sort of focal point or a body that can drive this economic agenda forward. But of course, what we are seeing in the Government's economic action plan is the possibility of another entity being created in north Wales, and I want to understand to what extent that is going to lead to a duplication of work. Shouldn't the Government be building on the success and foundations that are there presently, rather than recreating a structure of its own?
Cwestiynau i Gomisiwn y Senedd yw eitem 4, a David Rowlands fydd yn ateb y cwestiwn cyntaf y prynhawn yma. Cwestiwn 1, Jenny Rathbone.

Item 4 is questions to the Senedd Commission, and the first question this afternoon will be answered by David Rowlands. Question 1, Jenny Rathbone.
Thank you very much, Chair. I do wish to speak in Welsh.

Diolch yn fawr iawn, Cadeirydd. Dwi am siarad yn Gymraeg.
Rwyf am ofyn eto a cheisio clywed ei ateb ef hefyd. Gofynnais i'r Gweinidog: onid yw hefyd yn wir ei fod eisiau ymestyn erthygl 50 mewn ymgais i flocio Brexit?

I shall ask again and try his catch his answer as well. I asked the Minister: isn't it also the case that he is seeking an extension of article 50 as a step towards blocking Brexit?
Iawn. A allwch chi ei gymryd o'r papur trefn, neu a ydych chi eisiau i Rhun - ?

Okay. Are you able to take it from the order paper, or do you want Rhun to - ?

Mae'n rhaid i fi gofio nawr beth ddywedais i. [Chwerthin.]

I must now remember what I said. [Laughter.]
No, you're out of time.

Na, mae eich amser wedi dod i ben.
