English: I very much welcome the statement today. As Chair of the Equality, Local Government and Communities Committee, these matters are central to our work, and, indeed, in our report on human rights in Wales, in the inquiry that we conducted, we made many recommendations that I think are relevant to this statement today. And, of course, in the joint debate with the External Affairs and Additional Legislation Committee, and correspondence that surrounded that, we've engaged with Welsh Government to try and take this agenda forward. One of our key concerns was the protections provided by the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights and trying to ensure that they remain in place, post Brexit, if Brexit occurs. And at the time, the former First Minister was in correspondence with the UK Government to try and take forward some sort of political agreement that would endorse that existing framework of equal treatment legislation. And I'd be interested, Dirprwy Lywydd, to hear whether the Minister is able to provide us with an update today in terms of those discussions - how they're progressing and the stage and any understanding that has been reached, and also whether we might have further information on the practicalities of commencing the socioeconomic duty of the Equality Act, because I think those practicalities are very significant in terms of effective implementation. Also, in terms of my committee's inquiry into parenting and employment in Wales, we made a number of recommendations around the public sector equality duties, including calling for data on maternity retention rates to be collected, and for the Welsh Government to refine the employment data required by the public sector equality duties, with the aim of reducing the administrative burden on authorities. These recommendations were accepted by Welsh Government, and the Equalities and Human Rights Commission and Fair Work Commission have also recommended improving these duties. So, further information, Minister, on work Welsh Government is doing to update the duties and when you expect that work to be completed would be useful. Just two other matters, very briefly, Dirprwy Lywydd - it's very good to hear what you mentioned on the Refugee and Asylum Seekers Week coming up next week, Minister. Again, my committee did a report, and we're very keen on the nation of sanctuary work, as I know you're aware of. I very much look forward to next week, and I hope some meaningful and substantive proposals and work from Welsh Government to take forward that very important agenda. Just finally on Windrush, again, I very much welcome what you said about that, Minister. I just wonder, in terms of Welsh Government's relationship with UK Government, whether you are representing some of the points that have been put forward by members of the Windrush community in Wales, and, hopefully, applying pressure on UK Government. One example, I think, is the cap on compensation, because I am aware of cases where very substantial loss has taken place as a result of the UK Government's actions, and people have lost their homes, for example, as a result of that. So, any cap on compensation that doesn't reflect the extent and the scale of loss is a very real and practical issue for members of our communities here, and I would hope that Welsh Government would put those points forward to UK Government.
Welsh: Rwy'n croesawu'r datganiad heddiw'n fawr iawn. A minnau'n Gadeirydd y Pwyllgor Cydraddoldeb, Llywodraeth Leol a Chymunedau, mae'r materion hyn yn ganolog i'n gwaith, ac, yn wir, yn ein hadroddiad ar hawliau dynol yng Nghymru, yn yr ymchwiliad a gynhaliwyd gennym, gwnaethom lawer o argymhellion y credaf eu bod yn berthnasol i'r datganiad hwn heddiw. Ac, wrth gwrs, yn y ddadl ar y cyd â'r Pwyllgor Materion Allanol a Deddfwriaeth Ychwanegol, a'r ohebiaeth yn sgil hynny, rydym ni wedi ymgysylltu â Llywodraeth Cymru i geisio bwrw'r agenda hon yn ei blaen. Un o'n prif bryderon oedd y mesurau amddiffyn a ddarperir gan Siarter Hawliau Sylfaenol yr UE a cheisio sicrhau eu bod yn aros yn eu lle, ar ôl Brexit, os digwydd hwnnw. Ac ar y pryd, roedd y cyn Brif Weinidog yn gohebu â Llywodraeth y DU er mwyn ceisio bwrw ymlaen â rhyw fath o gytundeb gwleidyddol a fyddai'n ategu'r fframwaith presennol hwnnw o ddeddfwriaeth trin yn gyfartal. A byddai gennyf ddiddordeb, Dirprwy Lywydd, i glywed a wnaiff y Gweinidog roi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf inni heddiw o ran y trafodaethau hynny - sut y maen nhw'n datblygu a'r cam ac unrhyw ddealltwriaeth a gyrhaeddwyd, a hefyd a allem ni gael mwy o wybodaeth am ymarferoldeb cychwyn dyletswydd economaidd-gymdeithasol y Ddeddf Cydraddoldeb, oherwydd credaf fod y materion ymarferol hynny'n arwyddocaol iawn o ran gweithredu'n effeithiol. Hefyd, o ran ymchwiliad fy mhwyllgor i rianta a chyflogaeth yng Nghymru, gwnaethom nifer o argymhellion yn ymwneud â dyletswyddau cydraddoldeb y sector cyhoeddus, gan gynnwys galw am gasglu data ar gyfraddau cadw mamolaeth, ac i Lywodraeth Cymru fireinio'r data cyflogaeth sy'n ofynnol gan ddyletswyddau cydraddoldeb y sector cyhoeddus, gyda'r nod o leihau'r baich gweinyddol ar awdurdodau. Derbyniwyd yr argymhellion hyn gan Lywodraeth Cymru, ac mae'r Comisiwn Cydraddoldeb a Hawliau Dynol a'r Comisiwn Gwaith Teg hefyd wedi argymell gwella'r dyletswyddau hyn. Felly, byddai rhagor o wybodaeth, Gweinidog, am y gwaith y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn ei wneud i ddiweddaru'r dyletswyddau a phryd ydych chi'n disgwyl i'r gwaith hwnnw gael ei gwblhau yn ddefnyddiol. Dim ond dau fater arall, yn fyr iawn, Dirprwy Lywydd - mae'n dda iawn clywed yr hyn yr ydych wedi'i grybwyll ynglŷn ag Wythnos y Ffoaduriaid a Cheiswyr Lloches sy'n digwydd yr wythnos nesaf, Gweinidog. Unwaith eto, fe wnaeth fy mhwyllgor adroddiad, ac rydym yn frwd iawn dros waith cenedl noddfa, y gwn eich bod yn ymwybodol ohono. Edrychaf ymlaen yn fawr at yr wythnos nesaf, a gobeithio, rhai cynigion ystyrlon a sylweddol a gwaith gan Lywodraeth Cymru i fwrw ymlaen â'r agenda bwysig iawn honno. Yn olaf ynghylch Windrush, unwaith eto, rwy'n croesawu'n fawr yr hyn a ddywedasoch am hynny, Gweinidog. Tybed, o ran perthynas Llywodraeth Cymru â Llywodraeth y DU, a ydych yn cynrychioli rhai o'r pwyntiau a gyflwynwyd gan aelodau o'r gymuned Windrush yng Nghymru, a, gobeithio, yn rhoi pwysau ar Lywodraeth y DU. Un enghraifft, fe gredaf, yw'r uchafswm iawndal, oherwydd rwy'n ymwybodol o achosion lle cafwyd cryn dipyn o golledion o ganlyniad i weithredoedd Llywodraeth y DU, ac mae pobl wedi colli eu cartrefi, er enghraifft, o ganlyniad i hynny. Felly, mae unrhyw uchafswm iawndal nad yw'n adlewyrchu maint a graddfa'r golled yn fater real ac ymarferol iawn i aelodau ein cymunedau yma, a byddwn yn gobeithio y byddai Llywodraeth Cymru yn cyflwyno'r pwyntiau hynny i Lywodraeth y DU.
