English: Thank you very much for that politically motivated question. What I can say to the Member is this: I think she may have a misunderstanding of what has happened with the process. It's because we initially started a judicial review process, and the judicial review went to the Court of Appeal, the Court of Appeal basically said that it wouldn't consider it unless there was a particular Bill in front of it, et cetera. We then sought to appeal to the Supreme Court on those issues, but also, it was necessary to have a Bill in preparation, to have a Bill that would be there. The Bill has two motivations in terms of expedition. One is the one that was put forward by the Minister for Climate Change, and that is they need to get this Bill up and running as quickly as possible, that it was essential that it be in place. For my consideration, really, as the law officer, is the extent to which that Bill would be relevant, to get to be there in time, and be appropriate with regard to any particular reference to court. What changed since then, of course, is that the Supreme Court declined permission to appeal to it. So, the legislation has gone through and, of course, what kicks in then is the constitutional issue of a referral on competence to the Supreme Court. That is a power that lies with me, and it's also a power that lies specifically with the Attorney-General. The Attorney-General has chosen not to refer it. I regard that as a victory. I regard that a victory in the Attorney-General accepting our arguments in terms of our constitutional interpretation of the legal position. I'm prepared to support the Attorney-General in that particular position, and that is why I've chosen myself not to refer this to the Supreme Court. So, we can accept that the position now is the UK Government accepts the Welsh Government's legal analysis in respect of that particular piece of legislation. If the issue is to arise again, it could arise in other circumstances, but I felt it was appropriate that, when the UK Government's Attorney-General basically declined to refer it to the Supreme Court, I could rely on that as setting a precedent in terms of our interpretation of our constitutional position.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn am y cwestiwn hwnnw a oedd wedi'i gymell yn gwleidyddol. Yr hyn y gallaf ei ddweud wrth yr Aelod yw hyn: rwy'n credu efallai ei bod wedi camddeall beth sydd wedi digwydd gyda'r broses. Y rheswm yw ein bod wedi dechrau proses adolygiad barnwrol i ddechrau, a bod yr adolygiad barnwrol wedi mynd i'r Llys Apêl, ac yn y bôn, fe ddywedodd y Llys Apêl na fyddai'n ei ystyried oni bai bod Bil penodol ger ei fron, ac ati. Fe wnaethom geisio apelio wedyn i'r Goruchaf Lys ar y materion hynny, ond hefyd, roedd angen paratoi Bil, cael Bil a fyddai yno. Mae dau gymhelliad i gyflymu'r Bil. Un yw'r un a gyflwynwyd gan y Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd, sef bod angen iddynt gael y Bil hwn ar waith cyn gynted â phosibl, a'i bod yn hanfodol ei fod yn ei le. Fy ystyriaeth i, mewn gwirionedd, fel swyddog y gyfraith, yw i ba raddau y byddai'r Bil hwnnw'n berthnasol, i allu cyrraedd yno mewn pryd, a bod yn briodol o ran unrhyw gyfeiriad penodol at y llys. Yr hyn a newidiodd ers hynny, wrth gwrs, yw bod y Goruchaf Lys wedi gwrthod caniatâd i apelio. Felly, mae'r ddeddfwriaeth wedi ei phasio ac wrth gwrs, yr hyn sy'n codi wedyn yw'r mater cyfansoddiadol o atgyfeiriad ar gymhwysedd i'r Goruchaf Lys. Mae hwnnw'n bŵer sydd gennyf fi, ac mae hefyd yn bŵer sydd gan y Twrnai Cyffredinol yn benodol. Mae'r Twrnai Cyffredinol wedi dewis peidio â'i atgyfeirio. Rwy'n ystyried hynny'n fuddugoliaeth. Rwy'n ystyried hynny'n fuddugoliaeth oherwydd bod y Twrnai Cyffredinol yn derbyn ein dadleuon o ran ein dehongliad cyfansoddiadol o'r sefyllfa gyfreithiol. Rwy'n barod i gefnogi'r Twrnai Cyffredinol gyda'r safbwynt hwnnw, a dyna pam y dewisais beidio ag atgyfeirio hyn at y Goruchaf Lys. Felly, gallwn dderbyn mai'r safbwynt yn awr yw bod Llywodraeth y DU yn derbyn dadansoddiad cyfreithiol Llywodraeth Cymru mewn perthynas â'r darn penodol hwnnw o ddeddfwriaeth. Os yw'r mater yn codi eto, gallai godi mewn amgylchiadau eraill, ond roeddwn yn teimlo ei bod yn briodol, pan wrthododd Twrnai Cyffredinol Llywodraeth y DU ei atgyfeirio at y Goruchaf Lys, y gallwn ddibynnu ar hynny fel rhywbeth sy'n gosod cynsail o ran ein dehongliad o'n sefyllfa gyfansoddiadol.
