English: There wasn't unanimous support. There was a take-note motion that we did not want to divide the Assembly on because, in the tactics of this, we have been keen that the Welsh Government's attempts to negotiate effective frameworks and effective framework governance get the maximum support from the Assembly. So, we took a very pragmatic decision, but that was not a decision to approve a continuity Bill, and we now have a continuity Bill before us. And I will make some remarks of where I do think it's important we speak with one voice here. Therefore, I have to conclude that the Welsh Government's decision to introduce this Bill can only add very considerably to legal uncertainty, and that is not going to be in the best interests of the people of Wales, organisations and businesses in Wales. As I said, the appropriate lever - and it is a huge one - is the LCM process. Can I just make some practical observations, Presiding Officer, about scrutiny? As you have said, these are not straightforward matters, which is another way of saying they would need extensive scrutiny to ensure that we are acting in an appropriate way and are legislating rigorously. Arguments exist on both sides. The situation in Scotland is that they've taken a different approach, and this could well result in a referral to the Supreme Court, and that itself will add to any level of uncertainty we may face. So, I have to say that, for these reasons, we urge caution, given the ambivalence that currently exists over this whole matter. But the biggest objection has to come back to how we would scrutinise an emergency Bill on such a major constitutional matter. Just reflecting on the timetable, it would be so lightning fast that scrutiny would only be cursory, where it was possible at all, over a certain number of limited areas. Next Tuesday we would have Stage 1, the Tuesday following, 20 March, Stage 2, and the day after that, 21 March, Stages 3 and 4. We have to make a decision today on whether to invoke an emergency procedure without an explanatory memorandum. The Minister is right: we have had the Bill in draft, but, you know, there is an explanatory memorandum, and it's been withheld. I do not think that adds very much to these proceedings, and, Presiding Officer, it may be something we want to look at in terms of Standing Order reform, that, in the exceptional circumstance of an emergency procedure, the explanatory memorandum has to be laid then. I know at the moment it's difficult and it's done on introduction, but this has not been a process where we've had maximum opportunity, at this stage at least, to make a sound judgment. Can I just conclude -
Welsh: Nid oedd cefnogaeth unfrydol. Cafwyd cynnig i nodi nad oeddem eisiau rhannu'r Cynulliad arno, oherwydd, yn nhactegau hyn, rydym wedi bod yn awyddus bod ymdrechion Llywodraeth Cymru i negodi fframwaith effeithiol a fframweithiau llywodraethu effeithiol yn cael cymaint o gymorth â phosib gan y Cynulliad. Felly, gwnaethom benderfyniad ymarferol iawn, ond nid penderfyniad oedd hwnnw i gymeradwyo Bil parhad, ac mae gennym bellach Fil parhad ger ein bron. Ac rwyf yn mynd i wneud rhai sylwadau ynglŷn â'r agweddau hynny yr wyf i o'r farn ei bod yn bwysig inni siarad yn unfrydol yn eu cylch yma. Felly, mae'n rhaid imi ddod i'r casgliad nad yw penderfyniad Llywodraeth Cymru i gyflwyno'r Bil hwn ond yn ychwanegu llawer iawn at ansicrwydd cyfreithiol, ac ni fydd hynny er budd pobl Cymru, na sefydliadau a busnesau yng Nghymru. Fel y dywedais, y cyfrwng priodol - ac y mae yn un enfawr - yw proses y cynnig cydsyniad deddfwriaethol. A gaf i wneud rhai sylwadau ymarferol, Llywydd, ynglŷn â chraffu? Fel y dywedasoch chi, nid yw'r rhain yn faterion syml, sydd yn ffordd arall o ddweud y byddai angen craffu helaeth i sicrhau ein bod yn gweithredu mewn ffordd briodol ac yn deddfu yn drylwyr. Mae dadleuon yn bodoli ar y ddwy ochr. Y sefyllfa yn yr Alban yw eu bod wedi mynd ati mewn ffordd wahanol, a gallai hyn arwain at gyfeirio'r mater at y Goruchaf Lys, a bydd hynny ynddo'i hun yn ychwanegu at ba bynnag ansicrwydd a all ein hwynebu. Felly, mae'n rhaid imi ddweud, am y rhesymau hyn, rydym yn awgrymu pwyllo, o ystyried yr amwysedd sy'n bodoli ar hyn o bryd ynghylch yr holl fater hwn. Ond mae'r gwrthwynebiad mwyaf yn ymwneud â sut y byddem ni'n craffu ar Fil brys ynglŷn â mater cyfansoddiadol mor sylweddol. O ystyried yr amserlen, byddai hynny mor gyflym fel na ellid ond craffu yn arwynebol, os oedd hynny'n bosib o gwbl, ar nifer penodol o feysydd cyfyngedig. Ddydd Mawrth nesaf byddai gennym Gyfnod 1, y dydd Mawrth canlynol, 20 Mawrth, Gyfnod 2, a'r diwrnod ar ôl hynny, 21 Mawrth, Gyfnodau 3 a 4. Mae'n rhaid inni benderfynu heddiw a ddylid rhoi gweithdrefn frys ar waith heb femorandwm esboniadol. Mae'r Gweinidog yn iawn: rydym wedi cael y Bil ar ffurf ddrafft, ond, wyddoch chi, mae memorandwm esboniadol yn bodoli, ac mae wedi ei atal. Nid wyf yn credu bod hynny'n ychwanegu llawer iawn at y trafodion hyn, a, Llywydd, hwyrach ei fod yn rhywbeth yr hoffem ni ei ystyried o ran diwygio'r Rheolau Sefydlog, sef, yn amgylchiadau eithriadol gweithdrefn frys, mae'n rhaid cyflwyno'r memorandwm esboniadol bryd hynny. Gwn ar hyn o bryd ei bod hi'n anodd ac y gwneir hynny yn ystod y cyflwyno, ond ni fu hon yn broses lle cawsom bob cyfle posib, ar hyn o bryd o leiaf, i lunio barn gadarn. A gaf i orffen -
