English: I continue to regret some of the language that has been used by the leader of Plaid Cymru. The progress that she describes as capitulation and as a stitch-up was described by the First Minister of Scotland, in her letter to the Prime Minister today, as 'substantial progress having been made'. That is what Michael Russell said to the Scottish Parliament yesterday, when he described the many - the many - advances that have been made as a result of the negotiations. Considering the many steps that we have gained through collaboration with our Scottish colleagues, to call what we have achieved a capitulation and a stitch-up is so far removed from the facts that the Member is a victim of her own hyperbole. I'm afraid, really, it bears no relation to what is in front of this National Assembly. When clause 11 was inverted in the amendments put forward in the House of Lords earlier in proceedings, we said, Llywydd, that there were four unanswered questions. All of those questions are answered by this agreement. We said, 'How are powers to be placed in the freezer?' to use Mark Isherwood's analogy. Well, now we know that they will be placed in the freezer with the agreement of this National Assembly and the Scottish Parliament. We said, 'What use can be made of the powers while they are there? Because we are prevented from using those powers by legislation.' Now, English Ministers are prevented from using those powers as well. Then we said, 'How will those powers be taken out of the freezer?' And now we know that we have a process for agreeing the frameworks that moves us into an entirely new constitutional space, and I think represents a major step forward in achieving the sort of arrangements that we want to see for the future of the United Kingdom. Now, of course it is true that this party is a devolutionist party. We therefore recognise that in the constitutional arrangements we currently have, if agreement cannot be secured, there is a need for a backstop arrangement to ensure that arrangements can go forward, and as things stand, that lies with the UK Parliament. We have put forward proposals that would amend that and place all of that on a far more equal footing, but that's because we believe that Wales's future is best secured in the United Kingdom - in a United Kingdom that operates effectively, that operates on the basis of parity, that operates on the basis of equal esteem. If you are a nationalist party, then it is absolutely proper that you are clear with people that you do not share that belief. You are not a devolutionist, you are a separatist. You simply believe that Wales should be entirely responsible for everything that goes on. It's a perfectly respectable position to take, but I think people are entitled not simply to have it respectably, but also to have it openly and in a way that is clear about what people believe. That's why, when the Member asks what powers are being retained at Westminster, I point her to the list agreed with the Scottish Government - the list that is appended to the inter-governmental agreement. It's there for everybody to see. 'What happens if agreement is not reached?' the Member asked. I believe that this agreement puts us clearly in a space where we are dedicated to achieving agreement. If you can't, somebody has to be able to take action to resolve matters that cannot be operated otherwise. Our proposals, and this agreement, take a step on that journey that would make that position resolved by all four component parts of the United Kingdom, coming together for that purpose.
Welsh: Rwy'n parhau i resynu braidd at yr iaith a ddefnyddiwyd gan arweinydd Plaid Cymru. Disgrifiwyd y cynnydd y mae'n ei ddisgrifio fel ildiad a chamarwain gan Brif Weinidog yr Alban, yn ei llythyr at y Prif Weinidog heddiw, fel 'cynnydd sylweddol a wnaed'. Dyna a ddywedodd Michael Russell wrth Senedd yr Alban ddoe, pan ddisgrifiodd y llu - y llu - o ddatblygiadau a wnaed o ganlyniad i'r trafodaethau. O ystyried y nifer o gamau a enillwyd gennym drwy gydweithio â'n cymheiriaid yn yr Alban, mae galw'r hyn a gyflawnwyd yn ildiad ac yn gamarwain mor bell oddi wrth y ffeithiau fel bod yr Aelod yn cael ei threchu gan ei gormodiaith ei hun. Mae arnaf ofn, mewn gwirionedd, nad oes unrhyw gysylltiad rhyngddo a'r hyn sydd gerbron y Cynulliad Cenedlaethol hwn. Pan gafodd cymal 11 ei wrthdroi yn y gwelliannau a gyflwynwyd yn Nhŷ'r Arglwyddi yn gynharach, fe ddywedasom, Lywydd, fod yna bedwar cwestiwn heb eu hateb. Atebir y cwestiynau hynny i gyd gan y cytundeb hwn. Dywedasom, 'Sut y rhoddir pwerau yn y rhewgell?' i ddefnyddio cyfatebiaeth Mark Isherwood. Wel, fe wyddom yn awr y cânt eu rhoi yn y rhewgell gyda chytundeb y Cynulliad Cenedlaethol hwn a Senedd yr Alban. Dywedasom, 'Pa ddefnydd y gellir ei wneud o'r pwerau tra'u bod yno? Oherwydd cawsom ein hatal rhag defnyddio'r pwerau hynny gan y ddeddfwriaeth.' Nawr, caiff Gweinidogion Lloegr eu hatal rhag defnyddio'r pwerau hynny yn ogystal. Yna fe ddywedasom, 'Sut y caiff y pwerau hynny eu tynnu allan o'r rhewgell?' Ac yn awr, fe wyddom fod gennym broses ar gyfer cytuno ar y fframweithiau sy'n ein symud i le cyfansoddiadol newydd sbon, ac rwy'n credu bod hwnnw'n gam mawr ymlaen i gyflawni'r math o drefniadau rydym am eu gweld ar gyfer dyfodol y Deyrnas Unedig. Nawr, wrth gwrs mae'n wir fod y blaid hon yn blaid ddatganolaidd. Felly, yn y trefniadau cyfansoddiadol sydd gennym ar hyn o bryd, os na ellir sicrhau cytundeb, rydym yn cydnabod bod angen trefniant ôl-stop i sicrhau y gall trefniadau fynd yn eu blaenau, ac fel y mae pethau, mater i Senedd y DU yw hynny. Rydym wedi cyflwyno cynigion a fyddai'n newid hynny ac yn rhoi'r cyfan ar sail lawer mwy cyfartal, ond mae hynny oherwydd ein bod yn credu mai o fewn y Deyrnas Unedig y mae sicrhau'r dyfodol gorau i Gymru - mewn Teyrnas Unedig sy'n gweithredu'n effeithiol, sy'n gweithredu ar sail cydraddoldeb, sy'n gweithredu ar sail parch cydradd. Os ydych yn blaid genedlaethol, mae'n gwbl briodol eich bod dweud yn glir wrth bobl nad ydych yn rhannu'r gred honno. Nid ydych yn ddatganolwr, rydych yn ymwahanwr. Rydych yn credu y dylai Cymru fod yn gwbl gyfrifol am bopeth sy'n digwydd. Mae'n safbwynt cwbl barchus i'w arddel, ond credaf fod gan bobl yr hawl nid yn unig i'w gael ar sail parch, ond hefyd yn agored ac mewn ffordd sy'n glir ynglŷn â'r hyn y mae pobl yn ei gredu. Dyna pam, pan fydd yr Aelod yn gofyn pa bwerau sy'n cael eu cadw yn San Steffan, rwy'n tynnu ei sylw at y rhestr a gytunwyd gyda Llywodraeth yr Alban - y rhestr a atodwyd at y cytundeb rhynglywodraethol. Mae yno i bawb ei gweld. 'Beth sy'n digwydd os na cheir cytundeb?' gofynnodd yr Aelod. Rwy'n credu bod y cytundeb hwn yn ein rhoi'n amlwg mewn gofod lle rydym wedi ymrwymo i sicrhau cytundeb. Os na allwch chi, rhaid i rywun allu rhoi camau ar waith i ddatrys materion na ellir eu gweithredu fel arall. Mae ein cynigion, a'r cytundeb hwn, yn camu ymlaen ar y daith honno a fyddai'n sicrhau bod y sefyllfa honno'n cael ei datrys drwy fod pob un o bedair rhan y Deyrnas Unedig yn dod at ei gilydd i'r diben hwnnw.
