I wonder, in so doing, would the Minister have a look at something that was raised by me on the committee a couple of times - the excellent example provided by Bridgend County Borough Council who, on a non-political, non-partisan basis, did a tremendous promotional campaign about standing as a councillor if you've never thought of it, and then went through extensive training with people about what that meant, what it entailed, how you could overcome obstacles? It wasn't for everybody - some people said, 'Thank you very much but I'm not interested' - but it brought in a whole new batch of people that were not the normal people, some of whom were not aligned politically in any way. So, have a look at those when you're thinking about working in partnership.

Wrth wneud hynny, tybed a wnaiff y Gweinidog edrych ar rywbeth a godwyd gennyf ar y pwyllgor unwaith neu ddwy - yr enghraifft ragorol a welwyd gan Gyngor Bwrdeistref Sirol Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr a wnaeth waith hyrwyddo aruthrol ar sail amhleidiol ar ymgyrch ynglŷn â sefyll fel cynghorydd os nad ydych erioed wedi meddwl am wneud hynny, ac yna aeth drwy hyfforddiant helaeth gyda phobl ynglŷn â beth y golygai hynny, sut y gallech oresgyn rhwystrau? Nid oedd yn gweddu i bawb - dywedai rhai pobl, 'Diolch yn fawr iawn ond nid oes gennyf ddiddordeb' - ond daeth â llwyth newydd o bobl wahanol i'r arfer i mewn, ac nid oedd cysylltiad gwleidyddol o unrhyw fath gan rai ohonynt. Felly, edrychwch ar y rheini pan fyddwch yn meddwl am weithio mewn partneriaeth.

Thank you very much, Nick. The Welsh Government must get over its reticence to instruct local government, for the sake of the thousands of disabled people let down by the implementation of the blue badge scheme in Wales. The Welsh Government must accept all the committee's recommendations. We must ensure the blue badge scheme application process is fair, swift and efficient. The application process should be offering a lifeline, not yet another hurdle for disabled people. Minister, for the sake of our disabled constituents, please, please reconsider.

Diolch yn fawr iawn, Nick. Rhaid i Lywodraeth Cymru ddod dros ei chyndynrwydd i gyfarwyddo llywodraeth leol er mwyn y miloedd o bobl anabl a gafodd eu siomi gan weithrediad y cynllun bathodyn glas yng Nghymru. Rhaid i Lywodraeth Cymru dderbyn holl argymhellion y pwyllgor. Rhaid inni sicrhau bod proses ymgeisio'r cynllun bathodyn glas yn deg, yn gyflym ac yn effeithlon. Dylai'r broses ymgeisio gynnig achubiaeth, nid rhwystr arall eto i bobl anabl ei oresgyn. Weinidog, er mwyn ein hetholwyr anabl, os gwelwch yn dda, ailystyriwch.

Thank you for raising this issue. I know that this matter is clearly a very complex matter that is requiring some detailed consideration. I will ensure that you receive a more comprehensive and complete idea of when a decision will be made.

Diolch i chi am godi'r mater hwn. Gwn fod y mater hwn yn amlwg yn fater cymhleth iawn ac mae angen ei ystyried yn fanwl. Byddaf yn sicrhau eich bod yn cael gwybodaeth mwy cynhwysfawr a chyflawn ynghylch pryd y gwneir penderfyniad.

Thank you, and welcome to the Culture, Welsh Language and Communications Committee. Item 1 on the agenda: introductions, apologies, substitutions and declarations of interest. Does any Member have anything to declare this morning? Apologies: we have received apologies from Siân Gwenllian, but perhaps she will be here for the private session to discuss the forward work programme. Adam Price will attend the meeting for the session on Pinewood in his role as a member of the Public Accounts Committee in accordance with Standing Order 17.49, but we're not expecting any other substitutes.

Diolch, a chroeso i'r Pwyllgor Diwylliant, y Gymraeg a Chyfathrebu. Eitem 1 ar yr agenda: cyflwyniad, ymddiheuriadau, dirprwyon a datgan buddiannau. A oes gan unrhyw Aelod rywbeth i'w ddatgan y bore yma? Ymddiheuriadau: cafwyd ymddiheuriadau gan Siân Gwenllian, ond efallai y bydd hi yma yn y sesiwn breifat i drafod y flaenraglen waith. Bydd Adam Price yn mynychu'r cyfarfod am y sesiwn ar Pinewood yn ei rôl fel aelod o'r Pwyllgor Cyfrifon Cyhoeddus o dan Reol Sefydlog 17.49, ond nid ydym yn disgwyl unrhyw ddirprwyon.
