English: I again thank the leader of Plaid Cymru for that supplementary question. He'll remember that I welcomed the report of the Equality, Local Government and Communities Committee, chaired by John Griffiths in the last Senedd term, when they produced their report, 'Benefits in Wales: options for better delivery'. That was the start of a debate about the devolution of the administration of welfare benefits. It was followed up, as he will know, by a piece of work that the Government commissioned from the Wales Centre for Public Policy, leading to their report, 'Administering social security in Wales'. One of the focuses for our action is the inquiry announced by the Welsh Affairs Committee on 15 June. They are to have a benefits inquiry. It's an important inquiry, because it allows us to conduct these arguments in the Westminster context, where, in the end, the decisions about devolution of welfare benefit administration would be made. Officials of the Welsh Government have already supplied evidence to the Welsh Affairs Committee at the start of their inquiry. I'm sure that if they invite Ministers to give evidence to it, we'll be happy to do that as well. I think it offers us an opportunity to develop the argument for how, if the devolution of administration of certain benefits could be transferred to Wales, with all the necessary financial costs that would come with it, that would allow us to administer benefits in a way that will be consistent with the preferences of the Senedd and, I believe, the preferences of people in Wales. These are rights that people have. They are often in difficult circumstances. They deserve to be treated in a way that is fair and is compassionate. I don't think you could think that either of those are characteristics of the way that the benefits system has been administered over the last 10 years.
Welsh: Diolchaf eto i arweinydd Plaid Cymru am y cwestiwn atodol yna. Bydd yn cofio i mi groesawu adroddiad y Pwyllgor Cydraddoldeb, Llywodraeth Leol a Chymunedau, dan gadeiryddiaeth John Griffiths yn nhymor diwethaf y Senedd, pan wnaethon nhw lunio eu hadroddiad, 'Budd-daliadau yng Nghymru: opsiynau i'w cyflawni'n well'. Dyna ddechrau dadl am ddatganoli'r gwaith o weinyddu budd-daliadau lles. Fe'i dilynwyd, fel y bydd yn gwybod, gan ddarn o waith a gomisiynwyd gan y Llywodraeth gan Ganolfan Polisi Cyhoeddus Cymru, a arweiniodd at eu hadroddiad, 'Gweinyddu nawdd cymdeithasol yng Nghymru'. Un o'r meysydd pwyslais ar gyfer ein gweithredu yw'r ymchwiliad a gyhoeddwyd gan y Pwyllgor Materion Cymreig ar 15 Mehefin. Maen nhw'n mynd i gael ymchwiliad budd-daliadau. Mae'n ymchwiliad pwysig, gan ei fod yn caniatáu i ni gynnal y dadleuon hyn yng nghyd-destun San Steffan, lle byddai'r penderfyniadau ynghylch datganoli gweinyddu budd-daliadau lles yn cael eu gwneud yn y pen draw. Mae swyddogion Llywodraeth Cymru eisoes wedi rhoi tystiolaeth i'r Pwyllgor ar Faterion Cymreig ar ddechrau eu hymchwiliad. Rwy'n siŵr, os byddan nhw'n gwahodd Gweinidogion i roi tystiolaeth iddo, y byddwn ni'n hapus i wneud hynny hefyd. Rwy'n credu ei fod yn cynnig cyfle i ni ddatblygu'r ddadl dros sut, pe gellid trosglwyddo datganoli budd-daliadau penodol i Gymru, gyda'r holl gostau ariannol angenrheidiol a fyddai'n dod yn sgil hynny, byddai hynny yn caniatáu i ni weinyddu budd-daliadau mewn ffordd a fydd yn gyson â dymuniadau'r Senedd ac, yn fy marn i, dymuniadau pobl yng Nghymru. Mae'r rhain yn hawliau sydd gan bobl. Maen nhw'n aml mewn amgylchiadau anodd. Maen nhw'n haeddu cael eu trin mewn ffordd sy'n deg ac sy'n dosturiol. Nid wyf i'n credu y gallech chi feddwl bod yr un o'r rheini yn nodweddion o'r ffordd y mae'r system fudd-daliadau wedi ei gweinyddu dros y 10 mlynedd diwethaf.
