English: The Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee reported on these regulations yesterday. They came into force at 6 p.m. on Friday, 23 October 2020, and expire at the end of the day on 8 November 2020, at which point they will have been in force in Wales for a total of 17 days. These regulations revoke the Health Protection (Coronavirus Restrictions) (No. 2) (Wales) (Amendment) (No. 19) Regulations 2020 and all its amending regulations, which include measures put in place for local lockdowns in Wales. The regulations make provision in four key areas, as the Minister has outlined. They limit movement and travel by requiring people to stay at home unless they have a reasonable excuse. They limit gatherings with other people. They require the closure of certain types of business and premises, and they place obligations on persons responsible for premises that are open to the public, or for work being carried out at any premises. The committee reported eight merits points. Our first point noted the Welsh Government's justification for any potential interference with human rights as a consequence of the restrictions being introduced. Our second point highlighted the lack of formal consultation undertaken, but noted that the Welsh Government undertook a series of urgent discussions with key sectors and stakeholders. Because of the widespread media reporting of dissatisfaction at the short notice given to introduce these regulations, we have requested further detail on who the Welsh Government consulted with, and when, prior to making the regulations. Regulation 16 places restrictions on mixed businesses that run both permitted and prohibited businesses on the same premises. We noted the widespread criticism of this particular policy and the confusion it has caused among stakeholders. Given that clarity is essential when making legislation, our third reporting point asked the Welsh Government whether it intends to amend this particular provision, or whether further guidance is to be given to business and members of the public. During our meeting yesterday, we considered further the extent to which the regulations impact on businesses and extended households. As a result, reporting points 6, 7 and 8 seek clarification on specific points in the regulations and how certain provisions apply in practice. For example, reporting point 6 seeks an explanation of where and how the regulations prohibit a supermarket from selling non-essential items, and asks the Welsh Government to clarify the meaning of the word 'business' that is used in regulations 11, 15 and 16. Our seventh reporting point seeks clarification about the effects of the regulations on extended households. In relation to reporting points 6 and 7, it would be helpful if the Welsh Government could, where we suggest, provide some practical examples to illustrate the points they wish to make in response. Turning to the matter of guidance, our fourth reporting point asks the Government to provide details of when guidance on the 17-day period was published for the purpose of providing stakeholders with the opportunity to comply with these legislative changes. Our fifth merits point notes that an integrated impact assessment has been published. We welcome that. This considers the impact of the regulations in relation to equality and children's rights in particular, which we welcome. In closing, I'd encourage the Welsh Government to take into account all the points we raise, and the principles underpinning them, when preparing the new regulations that were announced yesterday and that will replace the set that we are debating today. Thank you, Llywydd.
Welsh: Adroddodd y Pwyllgor Deddfwriaeth, Cyfiawnder a'r Cyfansoddiad ar y rheoliadau hyn ddoe. Fe wnaethon nhw ddod i rym am 6 p.m. ddydd Gwener, 23 Hydref 2020, ac maen nhw'n dod i ben ar ddiwedd y dydd ar 8 Tachwedd 2020, ac ar yr adeg honno byddan nhw wedi bod mewn grym yng Nghymru am gyfanswm o 17 diwrnod. Mae'r rheoliadau hyn yn dirymu Rheoliadau Diogelu Iechyd (Cyfyngiadau Coronafeirws) (Rhif 2) (Cymru) (Diwygio) (Rhif 19) 2020 a'i holl reoliadau diwygio, sy'n cynnwys y mesurau a gafodd eu rhoi ar waith ar gyfer cyfyngiadau lleol yng Nghymru. Mae'r rheoliadau yn gwneud darpariaeth mewn pedwar maes allweddol, fel y mae'r Gweinidog wedi ei amlinellu. Maen nhw'n cyfyngu ar symud a theithio drwy ei gwneud yn ofynnol i bobl aros gartref oni bai bod ganddyn nhw esgus rhesymol. Maen nhw'n cyfyngu ar ymgynnull â phobl eraill. Maen nhw'n ei gwneud yn ofynnol i gau mathau penodol o fusnesau a lleoliadau, ac maen nhw'n gosod rhwymedigaethau ar y bobl sy'n gyfrifol am leoliadau sy'n agored i'r cyhoedd, neu am waith sy'n cael ei wneud mewn unrhyw leoliad. Adroddodd y pwyllgor wyth pwynt rhinwedd. Nododd ein pwynt cyntaf gyfiawnhad Llywodraeth Cymru dros unrhyw ymyrraeth bosibl â hawliau dynol o ganlyniad i'r cyfyngiadau sy'n cael eu cyflwyno. Amlygodd ein hail bwynt y diffyg ymgynghori ffurfiol a wnaed, ond nododd fod Llywodraeth Cymru wedi cynnal cyfres o drafodaethau brys gyda sectorau a rhanddeiliaid allweddol. Oherwydd yr adroddiadau eang yn y cyfryngau am anfodlonrwydd ynghylch y rhybudd byr a gafodd ei roi i gyflwyno'r rheoliadau hyn, rydym ni wedi gofyn am ragor o fanylion ynghylch pwy yr ymgynghorodd Llywodraeth Cymru â nhw, a phryd, cyn gwneud y rheoliadau. Mae rheoliad 16 yn gosod cyfyngiadau ar fusnesau cymysg sy'n rhedeg busnesau a ganiateir a rhai sydd wedi eu gwahardd ar yr un safle. Fe wnaethom ni nodi'r feirniadaeth eang o'r polisi penodol hwn a'r dryswch y mae wedi ei achosi ymhlith rhanddeiliaid. O gofio bod eglurder yn hanfodol wrth wneud deddfwriaeth, gofynnodd ein trydydd pwynt adrodd i Lywodraeth Cymru a yw'n bwriadu diwygio'r ddarpariaeth benodol hon, neu a fydd yn rhoi rhagor o ganllawiau i fusnesau ac aelodau o'r cyhoedd. Yn ystod ein cyfarfod ddoe, fe wnaethom ni ystyried ymhellach i ba raddau y mae'r rheoliadau yn effeithio ar fusnesau ac aelwydydd estynedig. O ganlyniad, mae pwyntiau adrodd 6, 7 ac 8 yn gofyn am eglurhad ar bwyntiau penodol yn y rheoliadau a sut y mae cymhwyso darpariaethau penodol yn ymarferol. Er enghraifft, mae pwynt adrodd 6 yn gofyn am esboniad o ble a sut y mae'r rheoliadau yn gwahardd archfarchnad rhag gwerthu eitemau nad ydyn nhw'n hanfodol, ac yn gofyn i Lywodraeth Cymru egluro ystyr y gair 'busnes' pan gaiff ei ddefnyddio yn rheoliadau 11, 15 ac 16. Mae ein seithfed pwynt adrodd yn gofyn am eglurhad ynghylch effeithiau'r rheoliadau ar aelwydydd estynedig. O ran pwyntiau adrodd 6 a 7, byddai'n ddefnyddiol pe gallai Llywodraeth Cymru, yn y mannau yr ydym yn eu hawgrymu, ddarparu rhai enghreifftiau ymarferol i ddangos y pwyntiau y maen nhw'n dymuno eu gwneud mewn ymateb. Gan droi at fater canllawiau, mae ein pedwerydd pwynt adrodd yn gofyn i'r Llywodraeth ddarparu manylion ynghylch pryd y cafodd canllawiau ar y cyfnod o 17 diwrnod eu cyhoeddi er mwyn rhoi cyfle i randdeiliaid gydymffurfio â'r newidiadau deddfwriaethol hyn. Mae ein pumed pwynt rhinwedd yn nodi bod asesiad effaith integredig wedi ei gyhoeddi. Rydym ni'n croesawu hynny. Mae hyn yn ystyried effaith y rheoliadau mewn cysylltiad â chydraddoldeb a hawliau plant yn benodol, ac rydym ni'n croesawu hynny. Wrth gloi, rwyf i'n annog Llywodraeth Cymru i ystyried yr holl bwyntiau yr ydym yn eu codi, a'r egwyddorion sy'n sail iddyn nhw, wrth baratoi'r rheoliadau newydd a gafodd eu cyhoeddi ddoe a bydd hynny yn disodli'r gyfres yr ydym yn ei thrafod heddiw. Diolch, Llywydd.
