English: Thanks for the question. The discussions that take place and the work that goes on isn't something that just happened in the last couple of months - it is work of a long, continuous process. One of the reasons it's part of that long process is because there is a real dysfunction in the England and Wales jurisdiction. I have to say that my view is that the England and Wales jurisdiction is dysfunctional and is not working. That is one of the reasons why we've published a paper, 'Delivering Justice for Wales', in order to put those across, not in terms of the issue of who controls justice or whatever, but, basically, how can it be delivered better? And you'd be perfectly valid in asking for details as to how we think that can be delivered better. Of the work that is going on, much of it is actually borne by my colleague the Minister for Social Justice in terms of women's issues; in terms of a women's blueprint; in terms of the youth justice work that is going on; in terms of the issues over the women's residence and the prison issues that arise. Those are things that have been going on for many, many months and have also been ones that have engaged partnership between the Ministry of Justice and the Welsh Government and between all the other agencies and bodies that have a direct interest within that. And I think those have been very effective and very successful, but they are only part of the picture. There was a very interesting publication that's just come from Cardiff University on criminal justice - The Welsh Criminal Justice System: On the Jagged Edge - which really begins to highlight the dysfunction in our justice system: the fact that we have no proper alignment between all the devolved functions and a very centralised Ministry of Justice, where Wales only plays a very peripheral part. You raised issues also with regard to policing. I mean, let's be honest about it in terms of the issues around crime and police operations: when the Conservative Government came into power in 2010, you cut 22,000 police officers and you're now talking about appointing 15,000, to some extent rectifying that disastrous damage that was actually done to policing and community safety. So, we work as a partnership; we work across board; we seek whatever opportunities there are for joint working and there are a number of blueprints and projects that are jointly under way. But they are really on the surface of what is happening. There is a need for a far deeper consideration of justice and I do not accept your view, and I don't think any logical, evidential analysis of the England and Wales jurisdiction can say that it is serving Wales well. That was a view that was found by the Thomas commission as well, but I think it's been justified in significant other evidence since then.
Welsh: Diolch am y cwestiwn. Nid yw'r trafodaethau sy'n digwydd a'r gwaith sy'n mynd rhagddo yn rhywbeth a ddigwyddodd yn ystod y misoedd diwethaf yn unig - mae'n broses hir, barhaus. Un o'r rhesymau ei fod yn rhan o'r broses hir honno yw oherwydd bod yna gamweithredu gwirioneddol yn awdurdodaeth Cymru a Lloegr. Mae'n rhaid imi ddweud mai fy marn i yw bod awdurdodaeth Cymru a Lloegr yn gamweithredol ac nad yw'n gweithio. Dyna un o'r rhesymau pam ein bod wedi cyhoeddi papur, 'Sicrhau Cyfiawnder i Gymru', er mwyn cyfleu'r syniadau hynny, nid mewn perthynas â phwy sy'n rheoli cyfiawnder neu beth bynnag, ond sut y gellir ei ddarparu'n well yn y bôn? A byddech yn berffaith iawn i ofyn am fanylion ynglŷn â sut y credwn y gellir darparu hynny'n well. O'r gwaith sy'n digwydd, mae llawer ohono'n cael ei wneud gan fy nghyd-Aelod y Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol mewn perthynas â materion menywod; y glasbrint i fenywod; y gwaith cyfiawnder ieuenctid sy'n mynd rhagddo; y materion sy'n ymwneud â chadw a charcharu menywod. Mae'r rheini'n bethau sydd wedi bod ar y gweill ers llawer iawn o fisoedd a hefyd wedi galw am bartneriaeth rhwng y Weinyddiaeth Gyfiawnder a Llywodraeth Cymru a rhwng yr holl asiantaethau a chyrff eraill sydd â diddordeb uniongyrchol yn hynny. A chredaf fod y rheini wedi bod yn effeithiol iawn ac yn llwyddiannus iawn, ond dim ond rhan o'r darlun ydynt. Cafwyd cyhoeddiad diddorol iawn gan Brifysgol Caerdydd ar gyfiawnder troseddol - System Cyfiawnder Troseddol Cymru: Ar y Rhwyg - sy'n dechrau tynnu sylw o ddifrif at y camweithredu yn ein system gyfiawnder: y ffaith nad oes cysondeb priodol rhwng yr holl swyddogaethau datganoledig a Gweinyddiaeth Gyfiawnder sy'n ganolog iawn, lle nad yw Cymru ond yn chwarae rhan ymylol iawn. Fe wnaethoch grybwyll materion yn ymwneud â phlismona hefyd. Hynny yw, gadewch inni fod yn onest am y materion sy'n ymwneud â throseddu a gweithrediadau'r heddlu: pan ddaeth y Llywodraeth Geidwadol i rym yn 2010, fe wnaethoch chi dorri 22,000 o swyddogion heddlu ac rydych chi nawr yn siarad am benodi 15,000, i ryw raddau er mwyn unioni'r niwed trychinebus hwnnw a wnaed i blismona a diogelwch cymunedol. Felly, rydym yn gweithio fel partneriaeth; rydym yn gweithio ar draws y bwrdd; rydym yn mynd ar drywydd pa gyfleoedd bynnag sydd yna i gydweithio ac mae nifer o lasbrintiau a phrosiectau'n mynd rhagddynt ar y cyd. Ond ar wyneb yr hyn sy'n digwydd y maent mewn gwirionedd. Mae angen ystyriaeth lawer dyfnach o gyfiawnder ac nid wyf yn derbyn eich safbwynt, ac nid wyf yn credu y gall unrhyw ddadansoddiad rhesymegol, yn seiliedig ar dystiolaeth o awdurdodaeth Cymru a Lloegr ddweud ei bod yn gwasanaethu Cymru'n dda. Dyna farn y daeth comisiwn Thomas iddi hefyd, ond rwy'n credu ei bod wedi'i chyfiawnhau mewn tystiolaeth sylweddol arall ers hynny.
