English: Thank you for that response. Almost 5,000 people in Gwynedd live with visual impairments, and as the use of lateral flow tests becomes part of our lives, and is likely to be for some time yet, we need to ensure that there is support available to them in terms of taking these tests and also in understanding the results. I am aware of the plan to provide support through an app called Be My Eyes, but it hasn't been successful for everyone, with many having to rely on support from others, and, of course, not everyone has access to digital devices. So, can you give us an update on what other steps are being taken in light of the findings of this specific pilot?
Welsh: Diolch am yr ateb. Mae bron i 5,000 o bobl yng Ngwynedd yn byw efo problemau golwg, ac wrth i'r defnydd o brofion llif unffordd fod yn rhan o'n bywydau ni am gyfnod eto, mae angen sicrhau bod cymorth ar gael iddyn nhw o ran cymryd y profion a hefyd o ran deall y canlyniadau. Dwi'n ymwybodol o'r cynllun i gynnig cymorth drwy ap o'r enw Be My Eyes, ond dydy o ddim wedi bod yn llwyddiannus i bawb, efo llawer yn gorfod dibynnu ar gymorth gan bobl eraill, ac, wrth gwrs, nid pawb sydd â mynediad at ddyfeisiau digidol. Fedrwch chi roi diweddariad inni o ba gamau eraill sydd yn cael eu rhoi ar waith yn sgil canfyddiadau'r peilot penodol yma?
English: It's really important that I draw this to the attention of my colleague, the health and social services Minister particularly, in relation to Be My Eyes as one example of how we can reach out to those people who are finding it difficult in terms of the use of lateral flow tests because they are inaccessible to them. I will want to take this up with our accessible communication group, which was set up in 2022 to discuss and overcome barriers stopping people from accessing information, particularly as a result of COVID-19. Can I finally say as well, last week we had the second meeting of our disability taskforce, which is responding to the very strong recommendations that came out of 'Locked Out: Liberating disabled people's lives and rights in Wales beyond Covid-19' as a result of evidence of the impact of the pandemic on disabled people? So, I'm fully committed to supporting visually impaired and blind people in Wales. I will take this back and come back to you, because this is crucial in terms of us delivering on the social model of disability, which is about removing barriers and understanding from lived experience people's lives.
Welsh: Mae'n bwysig iawn fy mod yn tynnu sylw fy nghyd-Aelod, y Gweinidog iechyd a gwasanaethau cymdeithasol yn arbennig, at Be My Eyes fel un enghraifft o sut y gallwn estyn allan at bobl sy'n ei chael yn anodd defnyddio profion llif unffordd am eu bod yn anhygyrch. Byddaf am ei godi gyda'n grŵp cyfathrebu hygyrch a sefydlwyd yn 2022 i drafod a goresgyn rhwystrau sy'n atal pobl rhag cael gafael ar wybodaeth, yn enwedig o ganlyniad i COVID-19. A gaf fi ddweud i orffen hefyd, yr wythnos diwethaf cawsom ail gyfarfod ein tasglu anabledd, sy'n ymateb i'r argymhellion cryf iawn a ddeilliodd o 'Drws ar Glo: Datgloi bywydau a hawliau pobl anabl yng Nghymru ar ôl COVID-19' o ganlyniad i dystiolaeth o effaith y pandemig ar bobl anabl? Felly, rwyf wedi ymrwymo'n llwyr i gefnogi pobl â nam ar eu golwg a phobl ddall yng Nghymru. Fe edrychaf ymhellach ar hyn a dod yn ôl atoch, oherwydd mae'n hollbwysig er mwyn gallu cyflawni'r model cymdeithasol o anabledd, sy'n ymwneud â dileu rhwystrau a dealltwriaeth o brofiad bywyd pobl.
English: We're working across portfolio and across Government to increase access to fair work. This includes promoting benefits of the real living wage for employers, for workers and for our communities. A better deal for workers, built on social partnership and fair work, is essential to broader prosperity throughout Wales including in north Wales.
Welsh: Rydym yn gweithio ar draws y portffolios ac ar draws y Llywodraeth i gynyddu mynediad at waith teg. Mae hyn yn cynnwys hyrwyddo manteision y cyflog byw go iawn i gyflogwyr, i weithwyr ac i'n cymunedau. Mae gwell bargen i weithwyr, wedi'i hadeiladu ar bartneriaeth gymdeithasol a gwaith teg, yn hanfodol i ffyniant ehangach ledled Cymru gan gynnwys yng ngogledd Cymru.
English: Thank you, Deputy Minister, for your response. I'm sure that you'll agree with me that one of the best ways of tackling poverty is to promote prosperity, and one of the best ways to move out of poverty is to be in a good, secure job and for businesses to be thriving to allow that to happen. I'm sure the Deputy Minister will be aware that one of my favourite bedtime readings is the co-operation agreement between your Government and Plaid Cymru, and whilst there's rightfully a number of mentions in there in terms of tackling poverty, I was disappointed to see the word 'prosperity' was not used once through that document, which may feel like a small issue to some, Llywydd, but it's actually about setting a positive tone about ambition for us here in Wales. In light of this, Minister, what discussions are you having with the Minister for Economy to ensure prosperity is promoted, while ensuring that jobs and careers are available throughout north Wales in order to help alleviate poverty? Diolch yn fawr iawn.
Welsh: Diolch am eich ymateb, Ddirprwy Weinidog. Rwy'n siŵr y byddwch yn cytuno â mi mai un o'r ffyrdd gorau o drechu tlodi yw hyrwyddo ffyniant, ac un o'r ffyrdd gorau o godi allan o dlodi yw bod mewn swydd dda a diogel ac i fusnesau ffynnu er mwyn caniatáu i hynny ddigwydd. Rwy'n siŵr y bydd y Dirprwy Weinidog yn ymwybodol mai peth o fy hoff ddeunydd darllen amser gwely yw'r cytundeb cydweithio rhwng eich Llywodraeth chi a Phlaid Cymru, ac er bod nifer o gyfeiriadau yno at drechu tlodi, siom oedd gweld na ddefnyddiwyd y gair 'ffyniant' un waith drwy'r ddogfen honno, rhywbeth a allai deimlo fel mater bach i rai, Lywydd, ond mae'n ymwneud â gosod cywair cadarnhaol ynghylch uchelgais i ni yma yng Nghymru. Yng ngoleuni hyn, Weinidog, pa drafodaethau a gawsoch gyda Gweinidog yr Economi i sicrhau bod ffyniant yn cael ei hyrwyddo, gan sicrhau bod swyddi a gyrfaoedd ar gael ledled gogledd Cymru er mwyn helpu i leihau tlodi? Diolch yn fawr iawn.
English: Can I thank the Member for his question, although I hesitate to say maybe he needs to get out more if his favourite bedtime reading is the co-operation agreement? [ Laughter.] But, no, I take on board that language is important in terms of what we do in terms of actually how we frame things and how we connect things together, because like I said in the opening statement, fair work and opportunity don't just benefit the individual that we're creating those opportunities for, but benefit, obviously, particularly small businesses and benefit our town centres and communities as people spend their money and invest locally as well. So, clearly, I work very, very closely with the Minister for Economy and I think I'd say across our social justice portfolio we have that connection between what I refer to as social justice and then the economic justice side, so the fair work, the living wage and the partnership working. So, I work very closely with the Minister for Economy to make sure things are as aligned as they can be, and, of course, as a Minister for the whole of Wales, I always consider the whole of Wales, but as a proud north Walian, I keep a keen eye on matters in north Wales.
Welsh: A gaf fi ddiolch i'r Aelod am ei gwestiwn, er fy mod yn petruso cyn dweud efallai fod angen iddo fynd allan mwy os mai ei hoff ddeunydd darllen amser gwely yw'r cytundeb cydweithio? [ Chwerthin.] Ond na, rwy'n derbyn bod iaith yn bwysig yn yr hyn a wnawn a sut rydym yn fframio pethau ac yn cysylltu pethau gyda'i gilydd, oherwydd fel y dywedais yn y datganiad agoriadol, yn ogystal â'r unigolion yr ydym yn creu'r cyfleoedd hynny ar eu cyfer, mae gwaith a chyfle teg o fudd arbennig i fusnesau bach a chanol ein trefi a'n cymunedau wrth i bobl wario'u harian a buddsoddi'n lleol hefyd. Felly, yn amlwg, rwy'n gweithio'n agos iawn gyda Gweinidog yr Economi ac ar draws ein portffolio cyfiawnder cymdeithasol, rwy'n credu y dywedwn fod gennym gysylltiad rhwng yr hyn y cyfeiriaf ato fel cyfiawnder cymdeithasol a'r ochr cyfiawnder economaidd, felly y gwaith teg, y cyflog byw a'r gwaith mewn partneriaeth. Rwy'n gweithio'n agos iawn gyda Gweinidog yr Economi i sicrhau bod pethau mor gyson ag y gallant fod, ac wrth gwrs, fel Gweinidog dros Gymru gyfan, rwyf bob amser yn ystyried Cymru gyfan, ond fel gogleddwr balch, rwy'n cadw llygad barcud ar bethau yng ngogledd Cymru.
English: The next item, therefore, is questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution. The first question comes from Janet Finch-Saunders.
Welsh: Yr eitem nesaf, felly, yw'r cwestiynau i'r Cwnsler Cyffredinol a Gweinidog y Cyfansoddiad. Mae'r cwestiwn cyntaf gan Janet Finch-Saunders.
English: I thank the Member for the question. The UK Government has informed the Welsh Government that it intends to fully engage with the devolved Governments in conducting its review of retained EU law. We are pressing for further information in terms of what the review will entail, the proposals that may follow and the implications for Wales.
Welsh: Diolch i'r Aelod am y cwestiwn. Mae Llywodraeth y DU wedi hysbysu Llywodraeth Cymru ei bod yn bwriadu ymgysylltu'n llawn â'r Llywodraethau datganoledig wrth gynnal ei hadolygiad o gyfraith yr UE a ddargedwir. Rydym yn pwyso am ragor o wybodaeth ynghylch yr hyn y bydd yr adolygiad yn ei wneud, y cynigion a allai ddilyn a'r goblygiadau i Gymru.
English: Thank you. Llywydd, I was really delighted upon reading the agenda that so many Members will be questioning the Counsel General today about retained EU law. And I'm sure that many, including my colleague Rhys ab Owen, are delighted that the UK Government is marking the two-year anniversary of Brexit by continuing to deliver on the democratic will of the people of the United Kingdom in Wales. Despite our exit from the bloc, EU law made before 1 January 2020 continue to have precedence in our domestic framework. That is actually a disgrace and is simply not compatible with our status as a sovereign independent country. Officials across Government are currently reviewing all the EU retained laws to determine if they are beneficial to the UK. Now, you have stated publicly that you want to engage with the UK Government constructively. Will you, therefore, be co-operating in a positive way by making recommendations as to which EU law you would like to see amended or removed, and please tell us what they might be? Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch. Lywydd, roeddwn wrth fy modd yn darllen ar yr agenda y bydd cynifer o Aelodau'n holi'r Cwnsler Cyffredinol heddiw am gyfraith yr UE a ddargedwir. Ac rwy'n siŵr fod nifer, gan gynnwys fy nghyd-Aelod Rhys ab Owen, wrth eu boddau fod Llywodraeth y DU yn nodi dwy flynedd ers Brexit drwy barhau i gyflawni ewyllys ddemocrataidd pobl y Deyrnas Unedig yng Nghymru. Er ein bod wedi gadael y bloc, mae cyfraith yr UE a wnaed cyn 1 Ionawr 2020 yn parhau i gael blaenoriaeth yn ein fframwaith domestig. Mae hynny'n warthus mewn gwirionedd ac nid yw'n gydnaws â'n statws fel gwlad annibynnol sofran. Ar hyn o bryd mae swyddogion ar draws y Llywodraeth yn adolygu holl gyfreithiau'r UE a ddargedwir i benderfynu a ydynt o fudd i'r DU. Nawr, rydych wedi datgan yn gyhoeddus eich bod am ymgysylltu'n adeiladol â Llywodraeth y DU. A fyddwch chi, felly, yn cydweithredu mewn ffordd gadarnhaol drwy wneud argymhellion ynghylch pa gyfraith yr UE yr hoffech ei gweld yn cael ei diwygio neu ei dileu, a dywedwch wrthym beth ydynt os gwelwch yn dda? Diolch.
English: Well, I thank the Member for that comment. I'd remind the Members - they may have read about it already - the concerns we have about the way this is actually being processed and suddenly rushed forward with apparently no clear reason as to why that might be the case. In December we received a letter from Lord Frost drawing our attention to a written statement setting out more detail about the review, in which he also offered to discuss the review at a future meeting of the new UK-EU inter-ministerial group. However, the devolved Government Ministers were only notified of the UK Government's intention to publish its policy document, 'The Benefits of Brexit', during a call on 29 January. It was published two days later. In fact, I think I saw it when it was published on 31 January. Details about the policy proposals being developed as part of the review have been extremely limited to date, and the policy document largely repeats Lord Frost's written statement. My policy officials are pressing for clarity in this regard, and have asked for a meeting this month for a further update on the UK Government's plans, which still remain extremely unclear.
Welsh: Wel, diolch i'r Aelod am y sylw hwnnw. Hoffwn atgoffa'r Aelodau - efallai eu bod wedi darllen amdano eisoes - am y pryderon sydd gennym ynglŷn â'r ffordd y mae hyn yn cael ei brosesu a'i ruthro yn ei flaen yn sydyn heb unrhyw reswm clir. Ym mis Rhagfyr cawsom lythyr gan yr Arglwydd Frost yn tynnu ein sylw at ddatganiad ysgrifenedig yn nodi mwy o fanylion am yr adolygiad, lle y cynigiodd drafod yr adolygiad hefyd mewn cyfarfod o grŵp rhyngweinidogol newydd y DU-UE yn y dyfodol. Fodd bynnag, ni chafodd Gweinidogion y Llywodraethau datganoledig wybod am fwriad Llywodraeth y DU i gyhoeddi ei dogfen bolisi 'The Benefits of Brexit' tan alwad a wnaed ar 29 Ionawr. Fe'i cyhoeddwyd ddeuddydd yn ddiweddarach. Yn wir, credaf imi ei weld pan gafodd ei gyhoeddi ar 31 Ionawr. Mae manylion am y cynigion polisi sy'n cael eu datblygu fel rhan o'r adolygiad wedi bod yn gyfyngedig iawn hyd yma, ac mae'r ddogfen bolisi i raddau helaeth yn ailadrodd datganiad ysgrifenedig yr Arglwydd Frost. Mae fy swyddogion polisi yn pwyso am eglurder yn hyn o beth, ac maent wedi gofyn am gyfarfod y mis hwn i gael diweddariad pellach ar gynlluniau Llywodraeth y DU, sy'n dal i fod yn aneglur iawn.
English: I agreed to a request by the Counsel General for the grouping of questions 1, 2, 3 and 4, and so I'll ask Rhys ab Owen now to ask his supplementary question.
Welsh: Cytunais i gais gan y Cwnsler Cyffredinol i grwpio cwestiynau 1, 2, 3 a 4, ac felly gofynnaf i Rhys ab Owen ofyn ei gwestiwn atodol yn awr.
English: Thank you very much. Diolch yn fawr i chi, Llywydd. Counsel General, you're probably aware of Philip Rycroft's evidence this morning to the Wales select committee in the House of Commons. He described Brexit as a shock to the system, and that one of the premises that devolution is built upon - the Sewel convention - came a cropper through Brexit. Maybe not the usual words of a civil servant, but they were his words, not mine. When you gave evidence to the Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee last month, you described the situation of the Brexit isolation Bill, as I like to call it, as having a massive impact on the devolution settlement in devolved areas. I know you were only made aware of it on the Saturday, and I'm sure you had better things to do on a Saturday than to be part of that telephone call, but you couldn't give us much detail then about the level of engagement. I'm glad to hear that there has been assurance that there will be more levels of engagement and I look forward to hear more details about that. Do you consider it appropriate that Welsh stakeholders and this Senedd should also be engaged in that process? Diolch yn fawr.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn i chi, Lywydd. Gwnsler Cyffredinol, mae'n debyg eich bod yn ymwybodol o dystiolaeth Philip Rycroft y bore yma i bwyllgor dethol Cymru yn Nhŷ'r Cyffredin. Disgrifiodd Brexit fel sioc i'r system, a bod un o'r cynseiliau yr adeiladwyd datganoli arni - confensiwn Sewel - wedi methu oherwydd Brexit. Efallai nad yw'r rheini'n eiriau arferol gan was sifil, ond ei eiriau ef oeddent, nid fy ngeiriau i. Pan roesoch chi dystiolaeth i'r Pwyllgor Deddfwriaeth, Cyfiawnder a'r Cyfansoddiad fis diwethaf, fe wnaethoch ddisgrifio sefyllfa'r Bil ynysu Brexit, fel rwy'n hoff o'i alw, fel un sy'n cael effaith enfawr ar y setliad datganoli mewn meysydd datganoledig. Rwy'n gwybod mai dim ond ar y dydd Sadwrn y cawsoch wybod amdano, ac rwy'n siŵr fod gennych bethau gwell i'w gwneud ar ddydd Sadwrn na bod yn rhan o'r alwad ffôn honno, ond ni allech roi llawer o fanylion i ni bryd hynny am lefel yr ymgysylltu. Rwy'n falch o glywed bod sicrwydd wedi'i roi y bydd mwy o lefelau ymgysylltu ac edrychaf ymlaen at glywed mwy o fanylion am hynny. A ydych o'r farn ei bod yn briodol i randdeiliaid Cymreig a'r Senedd hon gymryd rhan yn y broses honno hefyd? Diolch yn fawr.
English: I thank you for the question. The points you raise are absolutely right - the issue of retained EU law and the review of law is something that is of significant concern to us, not just a constitutional issue, but the issue we have in terms of the statements that have been made across this Chamber from all parties about the importance of standards in the areas of food, environment and so on. So, it is unclear precisely what it is. I have to say, I read the document, and considering the earlier debate that was made - . Sam Rowlands, you can have a copy of my - [ Inaudible.] - it will certainly be a cure for insomnia. [ Laughter.] But I have to say, it does contain within it something I think will be on the lips of every citizen in Wales when they look to the wonders of achievement that are being declared. Listen: a reintroduction of our iconic blue passports, which are printed by a firm in France. But that's not enough - it actually gets better than that, because we're reviewing a ban on EU imperial marketing and sales to give businesses and consumers more choice over the measurements used. But it gets even better than that, because we're going to be allowing businesses to use a Crown stamp symbol on pint glasses. So, I think I can tell the Member we certainly have a lot to look forward to. But in all seriousness, this is a very significant and important document, and we will engage fully, and we will be discussing it fully with UK Government Ministers.
Welsh: Diolch am y cwestiwn. Mae'r pwyntiau a godwch yn gwbl gywir - mae cyfraith yr UE a ddargedwir ac adolygu'r gyfraith yn rhywbeth sy'n peri pryder sylweddol i ni, nid fel mater cyfansoddiadol yn unig, ond yn sgil y datganiadau a wnaed ar draws y Siambr hon gan bob plaid ynghylch pwysigrwydd safonau ym meysydd bwyd, yr amgylchedd ac yn y blaen. Felly, nid yw'n glir beth yn union ydyw. Rhaid imi ddweud, darllenais y ddogfen, ac o ystyried y ddadl gynharach a wnaed - . Sam Rowlands, gallwch gael copi o fy - [ Anghlywadwy.] - bydd yn sicr yn gwella eich insomnia. [ Chwerthin.] Ond mae'n rhaid i mi ddweud, mae'n cynnwys rhywbeth y credaf y bydd ar wefusau pob dinesydd yng Nghymru pan fyddant yn edrych ar y rhyfeddodau a gaiff eu datgan ynghylch cyflawniad. Gwrandewch: ailgyflwyno ein pasbortau glas eiconig, sy'n cael eu hargraffu gan gwmni yn Ffrainc. Ond nid yw hynny'n ddigon - mae'n rhagori ar hynny mewn gwirionedd, oherwydd rydym yn adolygu gwaharddiad ar farchnata a gwerthiannau imperial yr UE i roi mwy o ddewis i fusnesau a defnyddwyr ynghylch y mesuriadau a ddefnyddir. Ond mae'n mynd yn well na hynny hyd yn oed, oherwydd byddwn yn caniatáu i fusnesau ddefnyddio symbol stamp y Goron ar wydr peint. Felly, credaf y gallaf ddweud wrth yr Aelod fod gennym lawer i edrych ymlaen ato yn sicr. Ond o ddifrif, mae hon yn ddogfen arwyddocaol a phwysig iawn, a byddwn yn ymgysylltu'n llawn, a byddwn yn ei thrafod yn llawn gyda Gweinidogion Llywodraeth y DU.
English: I echo the points made by Rhys about proper engagement and the constructive approach being taken by the Minister, but can I just say, citizens across the nation were hanging the bunting out over the weekend. They were overjoyed to hear this news, and also the appointment of man of the people, Jacob Rees-Mogg, as Minister for Brexit opportunities, and that there would be a bonfire of regulations brought forward as this grandly titled Brexit Bill mark 2 proceeds on retained law. We're far beyond parody now, of course. As this coincides with the cross-party Public Accounts Committee reporting that Brexit and the increased bureaucracy of cross-border movements of trade has suppressed trade with the EU every day since we've left. We see the political impact in Northern Ireland and Éire playing out before us every single day. Hauliers are choosing to bypass Welsh ports and the UK to ship directly to the continent, and we learnt only these last 24 hours that exports into Germany from the UK have tumbled by 8.5 per cent during 2021, and before the opposition benches say, 'Well, that's been the same for everybody', it's compared to a 16.8 per cent increase in imports from other European Union member states. Minister, Counsel General - . Does the Counsel General believe that this new iteration of Brexit Bill mark 2 will build on these remarkable successes?
Welsh: Ategaf y pwyntiau a wnaeth Rhys ynghylch ymgysylltu priodol ac ymagwedd adeiladol y Gweinidog, ond a gaf fi ddweud, roedd dinasyddion ledled y wlad yn chwifio'r baneri dros y penwythnos. Roeddent yn falch iawn o glywed y newyddion hwn, a hefyd am benodi dyn y bobl, Jacob Rees-Mogg, yn Weinidog dros gyfleoedd Brexit, ac y byddai coelcerth o reoliadau'n cael ei chreu wrth i'r Bil Brexit rhif 2 hwn â'r teitl mawreddog, fynd rhagddo ar y gyfraith a ddargedwir. Rydym ymhell y tu hwnt i barodi nawr, wrth gwrs, gan fod hyn yn cyd-daro ag adroddiadau'r Pwyllgor Cyfrifon Cyhoeddus trawsbleidiol fod Brexit a biwrocratiaeth gynyddol symudiadau masnach trawsffiniol wedi llesteirio masnach â'r UE bob dydd ers i ni adael. Gwelwn yr effaith wleidyddol yng Ngogledd Iwerddon ac Éire bob dydd. Mae cludwyr nwyddau'n dewis osgoi porthladdoedd Cymru a'r DU i deithio'n uniongyrchol i'r cyfandir, ac o fewn y 24 awr ddiwethaf dysgasom fod allforion i'r Almaen o'r DU wedi gostwng 8.5 y cant yn ystod 2021, a chyn i feinciau'r gwrthbleidiau ddweud, 'Wel, mae hynny wedi bod yr un fath i bawb', mae hynny o'i gymharu â chynnydd o 16.8 y cant mewn mewnforion o aelod-wladwriaethau eraill yr Undeb Ewropeaidd. Weinidog, Gwnsler Cyffredinol - . A yw'r Cwnsler Cyffredinol yn credu y bydd yr iteriad newydd o Fil Brexit rhif 2 yn adeiladu ar y llwyddiannau rhyfeddol hyn?
