English: Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. I would like to thank both speakers for indicating their support for the regulations and acknowledge the questions within them. As Rhun ap Iorwerth knows, we are moving on a step-by-step basis, in line with the scientific evidence and public health advice. I'll come to that again when dealing with one of Mark Isherwood's questions - sorry, Mark Reckless's questions; I do recognise that the two Marks are slightly different, albeit Mr Reckless is often more consistently supportive of the UK Government's approach on easements. On your questions around vaccination, Rhun, as you know we've discussed this many times in both the informal briefings and in committee and indeed in the statement. I recognise you take a different view to the approach of the Government in following the JCVI advice, as you are perfectly entitled to do. On your question about improving people's well-being with further easements, that is very much in the mind of the Government, about how with further easements we can take account of improving people's mental health and well-being and have physical exercise, access to the outdoors, as the weather is generally improving - although I do touch wood when I say that; I remember not so long ago having snow in April. But we are thinking about what that might mean, and we're contemplating whether the next phase may include a period of 'stay local' - you'll recall that England has already indicated that it's likely to enter a period of staying local as well - and whether it may be possible to have further easements that would allow people to travel for outdoor activity in particular. That is very much one of the things we are considering, although choices haven't definitively been made, because we want to understand what the data tells us at the end of this current three-week review before we make the choices about the future. On Mark Reckless's comments about supporting the regulations as they provide some greater elements of liberalisation, compared to where we were previously, that's to be welcomed. On your point about UK-wide consistency, it may be possible for us to do more, but that would require us to have conversations at an earlier point in time. There is a greater level of UK-wide conversation than there was in the middle of the summer - that is true and that's to be welcomed actually. Even though we don't always agree with other parts of the United Kingdom, we have never gone about - despite his charge - just being different for the sake of it; we've done things we think are right, and other people are, of course, entitled to disagree with the choices that we've made. But for there to be an even greater prospect of there being common UK-wide choices, that would require a more open conversation and one that would need to involve the Prime Minister. The challenge of the meetings chaired by Michael Gove for the UK Government is that he still needs to return to the Prime Minister, and there are times when there can be a difference in nuance and direction, and that's important. I would welcome very much a much more regular engagement between the Prime Minister and the First Ministers of Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, but sadly, that has not been the case over a number of months. On your point about schools, you're right that we could make a policy choice to open all schools on 8 March or 15 March - that is open to Ministers to do so. The point that we have made consistently is that that isn't supported by the scientific evidence and the public health advice. We've published this advice, it's made it very clear that there should be a phased return because of the impact that schools opening can have on the R figure. And we're feeling our way through this on a step-by-step basis, as Rhun ap Iorwerth indicated, because we now have the Kent variant as a dominant variant. It's much more contagious than the previous versions of coronavirus. And actually, this isn't about being different from England for the sake of it, England has made a policy choice that makes it an outlier compared to Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. We are following the public health and scientific evidence and advice; England has made a different policy choice, as they're entitled to do. We all will look on with interest at what will happen from 8 March and we will continue to interrogate the data in making future choices. All primary schools can expect to return to face-to-face learning from 15 March and all exam years can then expect to return, and there are further discussions about if there are other things that may be possible, but the Government will confirm that once the education Minister has concluded those matters. It will either be the education Minister or the First Minister who announces that position to give clarity to learners, to parents, to carers and, of course, our staff. But I do look forward, over the coming weeks, to seeing more and more of our children and young people returning to face-to-face learning. With that, I'd like to thank Members for their contributions and I hope that we'll receive the support of the Senedd today for these regulations.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr, Dirprwy Lywydd. Hoffwn ddiolch i'r ddau siaradwr am fynegi eu cefnogaeth i'r rheoliadau a chydnabod y cwestiynau sydd ynddynt. Fel y gŵyr Rhun ap Iorwerth, rydym ni'n symud gam wrth gam, yn unol â'r dystiolaeth wyddonol a chyngor ar iechyd y cyhoedd. Deuaf at hynny eto wrth ymdrin ag un o gwestiynau Mark Isherwood - mae'n ddrwg gennyf, cwestiynau Mark Reckless; rwyf yn cydnabod bod y ddau Farc ychydig yn wahanol, er bod Mr Reckless yn aml yn fwy cyson ei gefnogaeth i ddull Llywodraeth y DU o liniaru. O ran eich cwestiynau ynghylch brechu, Rhun, fel y gwyddoch chi, rydym wedi trafod hyn droeon yn y sesiynau briffio anffurfiol ac yn y pwyllgor ac yn wir yn y datganiad. Rwy'n cydnabod eich bod yn edrych yn wahanol ar ddull gweithredu'r Llywodraeth wrth ddilyn cyngor y Cyd-bwyllgor ar Imiwneiddio a Brechu, fel y mae gennych chi berffaith hawl i'w wneud. O ran eich cwestiwn am wella lles pobl gyda lliniaru pellach, dyna yw amcan y Llywodraeth i raddau helaeth, ynghylch sut y gallwn ni, gyda lliniaru pellach, ystyried gwella iechyd meddwl a lles pobl a chael ymarfer corff, mynediad i'r awyr agored, gan fod y tywydd yn gwella'n gyffredinol - er fy mod yn byw mewn gobaith pan ddywedaf hynny; cofiaf ychydig yn ôl inni gael eira ym mis Ebrill. Ond rydym ni yn meddwl am yr hyn y gallai hynny ei olygu, ac rydym ni yn ystyried a allai'r cam nesaf gynnwys cyfnod o 'aros yn lleol' - byddwch yn cofio bod Lloegr eisoes wedi nodi ei bod hi'n debygol o ddechrau ar gyfnod o aros yn lleol hefyd - ac a allai hi fod yn bosibl cael rhagor o liniaru a fyddai'n caniatáu i bobl deithio ar gyfer gweithgarwch awyr agored yn benodol. Dyna un o'r pethau yr ydym ni yn ei ystyried, er nad yw dewisiadau wedi'u gwneud yn bendant, oherwydd rydym ni eisiau deall yr hyn y mae'r data'n ei ddweud wrthym ni ar ddiwedd yr adolygiad tair wythnos presennol cyn i ni wneud y dewisiadau am y dyfodol. O ran sylwadau Mark Reckless am gefnogi'r rheoliadau gan eu bod yn cynnig mwy o liniaru, o'u cymharu â'r sefyllfa yr oeddem ni ynddi o'r blaen, mae hynny i'w groesawu. O ran eich sylw am gysondeb ledled y DU, efallai y bydd hi'n bosibl inni wneud mwy, ond byddai hynny'n ei gwneud hi'n ofynnol inni gael sgyrsiau'n gynharach. Mae mwy o sgwrsio ledled y DU nag a gafwyd yng nghanol yr haf - mae hynny'n wir ac mae hynny i'w groesawu mewn gwirionedd. Er nad ydym ni bob amser yn cytuno â rhannau eraill o'r Deyrnas Unedig, nid ydym ni erioed wedi mynd ati - er gwaethaf ei ddadl - i ddim ond bod yn wahanol er mwyn gwneud hynny; rydym ni wedi gwneud pethau sy'n iawn yn ein barn ni, ac mae gan bobl eraill, wrth gwrs, hawl i anghytuno â'r dewisiadau rydym ni wedi'u gwneud. Ond er mwyn cael mwy fyth o obaith o gael dewisiadau cyffredin ledled y DU, byddai hynny'n gofyn am sgwrs fwy agored ac un y byddai angen iddi gynnwys Prif Weinidog y DU. Her y cyfarfodydd dan gadeiryddiaeth Michael Gove ar gyfer Llywodraeth y DU yw bod angen iddo ddychwelyd at y Prif Weinidog o hyd, ac mae adegau pan all fod yna wahaniaeth mewn mân bethau ac mewn pwyslais, ac mae hynny'n bwysig. Byddwn yn croesawu'n fawr ymgysylltiad llawer mwy rheolaidd rhwng Prif Weinidog y DU a Phrif Weinidogion Cymru, yr Alban a Gogledd Iwerddon, ond yn anffodus, nid dyna fel y bu hi ers misoedd lawer. O ran eich sylw am ysgolion, rydych chi'n gywir wrth ddweud y gallem wneud dewis polisi i agor pob ysgol ar 8 Mawrth neu 15 Mawrth - mae rhwydd hynt i Weinidogion wneud hynny. Y pwynt yr ydym ni wedi'i wneud yn gyson yw nad yw hynny'n cael ei gefnogi gan y dystiolaeth wyddonol a'r cyngor ynglŷn ag iechyd y cyhoedd. Rydym ni wedi cyhoeddi'r cyngor hwn, mae wedi'i gwneud hi'n glir iawn y dylid dychwelyd yn raddol oherwydd yr effaith y gall ysgolion sy'n agor ei chael ar y ffigur R. Ac rydym yn gweithredu gan bwyll gam wrth gam, fel y nododd Rhun ap Iorwerth, oherwydd bellach mae gennym ni amrywiolyn Caint fel amrywiolyn amlwg. Mae'n llawer mwy heintus na'r fersiynau blaenorol o'r coronafeirws. Ac mewn gwirionedd, nid yw hyn yn ymwneud â bod yn wahanol i Loegr er mwyn gwneud hynny, mae Lloegr wedi gwneud dewis polisi sy'n ei gosod ar wahân i Gymru, yr Alban a Gogledd Iwerddon. Rydym yn dilyn tystiolaeth a chyngor gwyddonol ac ynglŷn ag iechyd y cyhoedd; mae Lloegr wedi gwneud dewis polisi gwahanol, fel y mae ganddynt hawl i'w wneud. Byddwn i gyd yn edrych ymlaen yn fawr at yr hyn a fydd yn digwydd o 8 Mawrth a byddwn yn parhau i graffu ar y data wrth wneud dewisiadau yn y dyfodol. Gall pob ysgol gynradd ddisgwyl dychwelyd i ddysgu wyneb yn wyneb o 15 Mawrth a gall pob blwyddyn arholiad ddisgwyl dychwelyd wedyn, a bydd trafodaethau pellach ynghylch a oes pethau eraill a allai fod yn bosibl, ond bydd y Llywodraeth yn cadarnhau hynny ar ôl i'r Gweinidog Addysg gwblhau'r materion hynny. Naill ai'r Gweinidog Addysg neu'r Prif Weinidog fydd yn cyhoeddi'r safbwynt hwnnw i roi eglurder i ddysgwyr, i rieni, i ofalwyr ac, wrth gwrs, i'n staff. Ond rwy'n edrych ymlaen, dros yr wythnosau nesaf, at weld mwy a mwy o'n plant a'n pobl ifanc yn dychwelyd i ddysgu wyneb yn wyneb. Gyda hynny, hoffwn ddiolch i'r Aelodau am eu cyfraniadau a gobeithio y cawn gefnogaeth y Senedd heddiw i'r rheoliadau hyn.
