English: I thought that the Cabinet Secretary for Finance made a powerful unionist case for this legislative consent motion. And, of course, I understand where Plaid Cymru are coming from; they don't believe in the United Kingdom, so they therefore take the maximalist view that has been expressed, and Plaid are quite right to make the points that they have made with the force and vigour that we've come to accept. If I took their view of what nationalism meant for Wales, I would agree with them, but I don't; I'm a unionist, and I accept the fundamental reality that was referred to by David Melding in his speech that this EU withdrawal Bill is consequent upon a decision of the people of the United Kingdom by referendum to leave the European Union, and I believe it's a trust that's been handed to us as legislators to deliver on the decision that they made. It is not for one constituent part of the United Kingdom to frustrate that process. Even in Scotland, where 62 per cent voted against Brexit, I don't believe it is constitutionally proper for them to stand in the way of the passage of the Bill. I believe that the Welsh Government has played an extremely good hand in the course of the negotiations, and there's been, I think, a deepening of the whole devolution process - a deepening of understanding of the constitutional processes that were set in train 20 years ago. I believe it is regrettable that the United Kingdom Government was so far behind the tide of events in this respect that the whole argument about clause 11, as was, was allowed to develop as it did. I thought it showed a sort of shocking failure of understanding on the part of UK Ministers of the constitutional realities of modern life in Britain, and that's highly regrettable.
Welsh: Roeddwn i'n credu y traddododd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Gyllid araith unoliaethol rymus ar gyfer y cynnig cydsyniad deddfwriaethol hwn. Ac, wrth gwrs, rwy'n deall safbwynt Plaid Cymru; nid ydynt yn credu yn y Deyrnas Unedig, felly maen nhw'n arddel y farn eithafol a fynegwyd, ac mae Plaid yn berffaith iawn i wneud y sylwadau y maen nhw wedi'u gwneud gyda'r grym a'r arddeliad yr ydym ni wedi dod i'w derbyn. Pe bawn i o'r un farn â nhw o ran beth mae cenedlaetholdeb yn ei olygu i Gymru, byddwn yn cytuno â nhw, ond dydw i ddim; rwy'n unoliaethwr, ac rwy'n derbyn y realiti sylfaenol y cyfeiriodd David Melding ato yn ei araith fod Bil ymadael yr UE yn ganlyniad i benderfyniad pobl y Deyrnas Unedig drwy gyfrwng refferendwm i adael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd, a chredaf ei bod hi'n ymddiriedaeth a roddwyd i ni fel deddfwyr i gyflawni'r penderfyniad a wnaed ganddynt. Nid lle un rhan gyfansoddol o'r Deyrnas Unedig yw rhwystro'r broses honno. Hyd yn oed yn yr Alban, lle pleidleisiodd 62 y cant yn erbyn Brexit, nid wyf yn credu ei bod hi'n gyfansoddiadol briodol iddyn nhw rwystro hynt y Bil. Rwy'n credu y bu Llywodraeth Cymru yn dringar rhyfeddol yn ystod y trafodaethau, ac, rwy'n credu, bod yr holl broses ddatganoli wedi dyfnhau - dyfnhau dealltwriaeth o'r prosesau cyfansoddiadol a sefydlwyd 20 mlynedd yn ôl. Credaf ei fod yn destun gofid bod Llywodraeth y Deyrnas Unedig mor ddi-ddeall o ddigwyddiadau yn hyn o beth fel y caniatawyd yr holl ddadl am gymal 11, fel yr oedd i ddatblygu fel y gwnaeth. Roeddwn yn credu ei fod yn dangos rhyw fath o fethiant syfrdanol o ddealltwriaeth ar ran Gweinidogion y DU o realiti cyfansoddiadol bywyd modern ym Mhrydain, ac mae hynny'n anffodus iawn.
