English: I think that Northern Ireland is a slightly different situation, in terms of its own process. I think, in terms of the common area that is among all parties, that we all agree that there is a need for politicians to inspire, and that is an obligation. I think, in order to inspire, we have to also have the opportunity to actually engage as well, and I think it is something that needs to be looked at with the education system and so on. Of course, there is variability, and obviously there are opportunities through the new curriculum in terms of increasing, I think, civic education, which I think is absolutely fundamental, but also the ability to engage fairly with young voters - with schools and so on - in a fair and non-partisan way about the way in which the electoral system operates, but also in terms of the sorts of issues that arise. As a personal item, I have always felt really disappointed that so many schools do not educate people about trade unions, about co-operativism and things like that - things like that have been very important in our history - but that's another matter. Clearly, there is going to be an issue in terms of any changes and how they are communicated and the engagement process on that, and that is something that will be considered within the consultation, but obviously something that is extremely important. In terms of the pilot, I think that the main point is going to be this: if we are going to set up a nationwide database in terms of automatic registration - basically, the digitisation of the electoral system - we can't really do that, because we don't have the power to do it. We need the legislation in place; we can then have the pilot. We will have the pilot after the legislation, which is why the timetable is really important. We'll have that pilot in order to assess the different sources from which information can be taken, because we have to ensure that the system that we set up and the databases that we use and the access to the information and how it is then maintained (1) respect privacy, but also are robust and maintain confidence in the integrity of the electoral system. We already have, of course, many, many databases. The NHS has an enormous database already. What it does mean, of course - . One of the things is that the electoral register, per se - or that database - would become a closed list. So, it wouldn't be out for sale, as it is at the moment in some ways. And I think that that would probably be a very good thing. It would be there for the appropriate authorities to access when required. In terms of the electoral managing and co-ordination board, well, of course, that is something that was set up on a completely voluntary basis amongst the electoral registration officers. We are one of the few places that doesn't actually have a statutory national electoral management board. So, what the legislation is proposing is that we do actually create that - we create, actually, a proper nationwide structure for the actual management and co-ordination of elections around Wales, with all the benefits that would exist in terms of maximising use of technology, systems, consistency, robustness and so on. In terms of the remuneration board, I think that is really just a matter where there's an opportunity to actually incorporate something within another body that is basically one of efficiency and effectiveness within the legislation. So, there's a proposal there as well. I hope I've answered all the points.
Welsh: Rwy'n credu bod y sefyllfa ychydig yn wahanol yng Ngogledd Iwerddon, o ran ei phroses arbennig hi. Rwy'n credu, o ran y farn gyffredin sydd ymysg pob un o'r pleidiau, ein bod ni i gyd yn gytûn o ran yr angen i wleidyddion fod yn ysbrydoli pobl, ac mae honno'n ddyletswydd i ni. Rwy'n credu, ar gyfer ysbrydoli, ei bod hi'n rhaid i ni gynnig cyfleoedd ar gyfer gwir ymgysylltiad hefyd, ac rwyf i o'r farn fod hynny'n rhywbeth y mae angen ei ystyried gyda'r system addysg ac ati. Wrth gwrs, fe geir amrywioldeb, ac yn amlwg mae yna gyfleoedd drwy'r cwricwlwm newydd o ran grymuso addysg ddinesig, sydd yn gwbl sylfaenol yn fy marn i, ond y gallu hefyd i ymgysylltu mewn ffordd deg â phleidleiswyr ifanc - gydag ysgolion ac yn y blaen - mewn ffordd deg ac amhleidiol ynglŷn â'r ffordd y mae'r system etholiadol yn gweithio, ond o ran sut fath o faterion sy'n gallu codi hefyd. Ar nodyn personol, rwyf i bob amser wedi teimlo yn siomedig iawn am nad yw cymaint â hynny o ysgolion yn dysgu pobl am undebau llafur, am y mudiad cydweithredol a phethau o'r fath - mae pethau fel hynny wedi bod yn bwysig iawn yn ein hanes ni - ond mater arall ydyw hwnnw. Yn amlwg, fe fydd yna broblem o ran unrhyw newidiadau a sut mae rhoi cyhoeddusrwydd iddyn nhw a'r broses ymgysylltu yn hynny o beth, dyna rywbeth a fydd yn cael ei ystyried yn yr ymgynghoriad, ond yn amlwg mae hynny'n hynod bwysig. O ran y cynllun treialu, rwy'n credu mai'r pwynt pennaf fydd hwn: os byddwn ni'n sefydlu cronfa ddata genedlaethol o ran cofrestru awtomatig - yn y bôn, digideiddio'r system etholiadol yw hyn - ni allwn ni wneud hynny mewn gwirionedd, oherwydd nid yw'r gallu gennym ni i wneud hynny. Mae angen sefydlu'r ddeddfwriaeth; fe allwn ni gael y cynllun treialu wedyn. Fe ddaw'r cynllun treialu ar ôl i ni gael y ddeddfwriaeth, a dyna pam mae'r amserlen yn bwysig iawn. Fe fydd y cynllun treialu hwnnw gennym ni i asesu'r gwahanol ffynonellau y gellir cael y wybodaeth ohonyn nhw, oherwydd mae'n rhaid i ni sicrhau bod y system sy'n cael ei sefydlu gennym ni a'r cronfeydd data yr ydym ni'n eu defnyddio ac argaeledd y wybodaeth a sut y caiff ei chynnal wedyn (1) yn parchu preifatrwydd, ond yn gadarn ac yn cynnal hyder yng ngonestrwydd y system etholiadol. Mae gennym ni eisoes, wrth gwrs, lawer iawn o gronfeydd data. Mae gan y GIG gronfa ddata enfawr yn barod. Yr hyn y mae hynny'n ei olygu, wrth gwrs - . Un o'r pethau yw y byddai'r gofrestr etholiadol, fel y cyfryw - neu'r gronfa ddata honno - yn rhestr gaeedig. Felly, ni fyddai honno ar gael i'w gwerthu, fel y mae hi ar hyn o bryd mewn rhai ffyrdd. Ac rwy'n credu mai peth da iawn fyddai hynny. Fe fyddai hi ar gael i'r awdurdodau priodol fynd ati hi yn ôl yr angen. O ran y bwrdd rheoli a chydlyniad etholiadol, wel, wrth gwrs, mae hwnnw'n rhywbeth a sefydlwyd yn gwbl wirfoddol ymhlith swyddogion cofrestru etholiadol. Y ni yw un o'r ychydig leoedd nad oes bwrdd rheoli etholiadol cenedlaethol statudol mewn gwirionedd. Felly, yr hyn y mae'r ddeddfwriaeth yn ei gynnig yw ein bod ni'n creu un felly mewn gwirionedd - creu, mewn gwirionedd, strwythur cenedlaethol addas ydym ni ar gyfer rheoli a chydlynu etholiadau o gwmpas Cymru mewn ffordd wirioneddol, gyda'r holl fanteision a fyddai'n dod o ran gwneud y mwyaf o ddefnyddio technoleg, systemau, cysondeb, cydnerthedd ac yn y blaen. O ran y bwrdd taliadau, rwy'n credu mai mater mewn gwirionedd yw hwnnw o fod â chyfle i ymgorffori rhywbeth mewn corff arall sydd yn y bôn yn fater o effeithlonrwydd ac effeithiolrwydd yn y ddeddfwriaeth. Felly, fe geir cynnig ynglŷn â hynny hefyd. Rwy'n gobeithio fy mod i wedi ateb y pwyntiau i gyd.
