English: Diolch, Llywydd. As Chair of the Standards of Conduct Committee, I formally move the motion. The committee considered the report from the acting Commissioner for Standards in relation to a complaint regarding the conduct of Helen Mary Jones MS. This matter was referred to the Commissioner for Standards by the Member herself. The Standards of Conduct Committee gave the commissioner's report careful consideration and our report sets out the committee's findings and recommendations as to the sanction of censure that is considered appropriate in this case. The facts related to the complaint and the committee's reasons for its recommendations are set out in full in the committee's report. The committee also noted and gave credit to the Member for making a self-referral to the commissioner, admitting a breach of the Members' code of conduct. Following the drafting of the report, the Member wrote to the committee with a full apology to the Senedd and complete acceptance of the committee's recommendation. This is annexed to our report. This will be the last complaint report brought before the Senedd by the Standards of Conduct Committee in the fifth Senedd. In line with the decision of the Business Committee, and as set out in the Llywydd's letter to Members, which was laid before the Senedd on 17 March, the Standards of Conduct Committee will cease any further activity as we enter into the recess and election period. As a committee, we have acted on all reports to us. However, there are matters outstanding that have not completed all stages of the procedure. It will be for the successor committee to determine and publish in due course. The position from the start of the recess will therefore be as follows: any reports received from the Commissioner for Standards, or appeal decisions received from an independent legally qualified person, will be acknowledged by the committee secretariat. Any such report will be held confidentially, pending the establishment of a Standards of Conduct Committee in the sixth Senedd. Uncompleted consideration of any complaints against a Member who is returned at the election can be resumed by the standards committee of the sixth Senedd. If there are unpublished reports relating to breaches by a Member who is not returned at the election, then it will be for the incoming standards committee to arrange the publication of those reports. The original recommended sanction may no longer be available when asking the Senedd to note the reports. It will also be a matter for the incoming standards committee to publish any anonymised reports where there has been a formal investigation by the commissioner but no breach on the part of the Member has been found. I ask the Senedd to endorse the committee's recommendation.
Welsh: Diolch, Lywydd. Fel Cadeirydd y Pwyllgor Safonau Ymddygiad, rwy'n gwneud y cynnig yn ffurfiol. Ystyriodd y pwyllgor yr adroddiad gan y Comisiynydd Safonau dros dro mewn perthynas â chŵyn ynghylch ymddygiad Helen Mary Jones AS. Cyfeiriwyd y mater hwn at y Comisiynydd Safonau gan yr Aelod ei hun. Rhoddodd y Pwyllgor Safonau Ymddygiad ystyriaeth ofalus i adroddiad y comisiynydd ac mae ein hadroddiad yn nodi canfyddiadau ac argymhellion y pwyllgor o ran y sancsiwn o gerydd yr ystyrir ei fod yn briodol yn yr achos hwn. Mae'r ffeithiau sy'n gysylltiedig â'r gŵyn a rhesymau'r pwyllgor dros ei argymhellion wedi'u nodi'n llawn yn adroddiad y pwyllgor. Nododd y pwyllgor hefyd, a chanmolodd yr Aelod am hunangyfeirio i'r comisiynydd, gan gyfaddef ei bod wedi torri cod ymddygiad yr Aelodau. Ar ôl drafftio'r adroddiad, ysgrifennodd yr Aelod at y pwyllgor gydag ymddiheuriad llawn i'r Senedd a derbyniodd argymhelliad y pwyllgor yn llwyr. Mae hwn wedi'i atodi i'n hadroddiad. Hwn fydd yr adroddiad olaf ar gŵyn a gyflwynir gerbron y Senedd gan y Pwyllgor Safonau Ymddygiad yn y pumed Senedd. Yn unol â phenderfyniad y Pwyllgor Busnes, ac fel y nodir yn llythyr y Llywydd at yr Aelodau, a osodwyd gerbron y Senedd ar 17 Mawrth, bydd y Pwyllgor Safonau Ymddygiad yn rhoi'r gorau i unrhyw weithgarwch pellach wrth inni ddechrau ar y toriad a chyfnod yr etholiad. Fel pwyllgor, rydym wedi gweithredu ar bob adroddiad a ddaeth i law. Fodd bynnag, mae rhai materion heb eu cwblhau a heb fynd drwy bob cam o'r weithdrefn. Mater i'r pwyllgor olynol fydd penderfynu a chyhoeddi maes o law. Felly, bydd y sefyllfa o ddechrau'r toriad fel a ganlyn: bydd unrhyw adroddiadau a dderbynnir gan y Comisiynydd Safonau, neu benderfyniadau apêl a dderbynnir gan berson annibynnol â chymwysterau cyfreithiol, yn cael eu cydnabod gan ysgrifenyddiaeth y pwyllgor. Bydd unrhyw adroddiad o'r fath yn cael ei gadw'n gyfrinachol hyd nes y bydd Pwyllgor Safonau Ymddygiad yn cael ei sefydlu yn y chweched Senedd. Gall pwyllgor safonau'r chweched Senedd ailddechrau ystyried unrhyw gwynion yn erbyn Aelod sy'n cael ei ethol yn ôl yn yr etholiad. Os oes adroddiadau heb eu cyhoeddi sy'n ymwneud ag achosion o dorri rheolau gan Aelod nad yw'n cael ei ethol yn ôl yn yr etholiad, mater i'r pwyllgor safonau newydd fydd trefnu cyhoeddi'r adroddiadau hynny. Efallai na fydd y sancsiwn gwreiddiol a argymhellwyd ar gael mwyach wrth ofyn i'r Senedd nodi'r adroddiadau. Mater i'r pwyllgor safonau newydd hefyd fydd cyhoeddi unrhyw adroddiadau dienw lle bu ymchwiliad ffurfiol gan y comisiynydd ond na chanfuwyd unrhyw gamwedd ar ran yr Aelod. Gofynnaf i'r Senedd gymeradwyo argymhelliad y pwyllgor.
