English: Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. Some people will remember that we discussed the Birmingham Commonwealth Games Bill in a Plenary meeting on 8 October last year, and that we passed the motion in the Senedd. But we had to reintroduce the Bill to the Westminster Parliament on 7 January because it didn't finish its parliamentary passage before that Parliament was dissolved on 6 November, in order to have the general election. I therefore have agreed to promote an legislative competence motion for the Bill in Plenary today on behalf of the Deputy Minister. The Bill today is exactly as it was, even though there are some drafting and technical amendments. I'd like to thank the Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee and the Economy, Infrastructure and Skills Committee for their work in considering the LCM for the Bill, and recognise that they have decided not to introduce additional reports on the Bill as it was reintroduced. As you know, Birmingham had the right to hold the Commonwealth Games in 2022 on 21 December 2017. In order to hold them successfully, the Westminster Parliament has to pass the Birmingham Commonwealth Games Bill, which deals with the games and associated things, and it wants to have a temporary new offence of touting games. The opinion of the Westminster Government is that the provision in the Bill for ticketing is to come under the legislative competence of the Welsh Government. The purpose of this element is, firstly, to protect the brand and reputation of the games; secondly, to ensure that the tickets are affordable and available to everyone; and, thirdly, to prevent money laundering and other offences. The consent of this Parliament is needed for those parts of the Bill, because they are to do with promoting tourism and the Welsh economy, issues that we have competence over. Even though customer protection is a reserved matter under Schedule 7A of the Government Wales Act 2006, the purpose of these provisions is to protect the brand and reputation of sporting venues in Wales, which, in turn, help to promote tourism and the economy of Wales, which are both devolved matters. Also, the provisions in the Bill could also fall within the legislative competence of the Senedd, because they relate to the bye-law-making functions of local authorities. Preventing an obstruction or nuisance by ticket touting could fall under the good rule and government power under section 235 of the Local Government Act 1972. The Assembly could legislate on these issues, as it could legislate on the powers of local authorities to make bye-laws where touting is causing a nuisance within their area. So, the opinion of the Government is that it is appropriate to deal with these provisions in the UK Bill. That's the most appropriate, practical and proportionate medium to implement the provisions in Wales. And it's practical also in terms of time and cohesion, particularly in the circumstances that we're working under with coronavirus and so forth. So, dealing with ticket touting within the UK Bill would mean that it would come into force in Wales as it does in England. So, I do move the motion and ask the Assembly to support it.
Welsh: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Bydd rhai yn cofio inni drafod Bil Gemau Cymanwlad Birmingham mewn Cyfarfod Llawn ar 8 Hydref y flwyddyn ddiwethaf, ac inni basio'r cynnig yma yn y Senedd. Ond roedd rhaid inni ailgyflwyno'r Bil i Senedd San Steffan ar 7 Ionawr am na wnaeth orffen ei daith seneddol cyn i'r Senedd honno gael ei diddymu ar 6 Tachwedd, a hynny er mwyn cynnal yr etholiad cyffredinol. Dwi felly wedi cytuno i hyrwyddo cynnig cydsyniad deddfwriaethol ar gyfer y Bil yn y Cyfarfod Llawn eto heddiw ar ran y Dirprwy Weinidog. Mae'r Bil sy'n cael ei gyflwyno heddiw yn union fel yr oedd ef, er bod rhai newidiadau technegol neu ddrafftio wedi'u cynnwys. Hoffwn ddiolch i'r Pwyllgor Deddfwriaeth, Cyfiawnder a'r Cyfansoddiad a Phwyllgor yr Economi, Seilwaith a Sgiliau am eu gwaith yn ystyried memorandwm cydsyniad deddfwriaethol y Bil, a chydnabod eu bod wedi penderfynu peidio â chyflwyno adroddiadau ychwanegol ar y Bil fel y cafodd ei ailgyflwyno. Fel y gwyddoch chi, cafodd Birmingham yr hawl i gynnal Gemau'r Gymanwlad yn 2022 ar 21 Rhagfyr 2017. Er mwyn eu cynnal yn llwyddiannus, mae'n rhaid i Senedd San Steffan basio Bil Gemau Cymanwlad Birmingham, sy'n ymdrin â'r gemau a dibenion cysylltiedig, ac maent am wneud trosedd dros dro am dowtio tocynnau i'r gemau. Barn Llywodraeth y Deyrnas Unedig yw bod y ddarpariaeth yn y Bil am docynnau i ddod o dan gymhwysedd deddfwriaethol Llywodraeth Cymru. Diben yr elfen hon yw, yn gyntaf, i ddiogelu brand ac enw da y gemau; yn ail, i sicrhau bod tocynnau'n fforddiadwy ac ar gael i bawb; ac, yn drydydd, i atal troseddau fel gwyngalchu arian. Mae angen cydsyniad Senedd Cymru ar gyfer y rhannau hynny yn y Bil, gan eu bod nhw'n ymwneud â hyrwyddo twristiaeth ac economi Cymru, materion sydd gyda ni gymhwysedd deddfwriaethol drostyn nhw. Er bod diogelu'r cwsmer yn fater cadw o dan Atodlen 7A Deddf Llywodraeth Cymru 2006, pwrpas y darpariaethau hyn yw diogelu brand ac enw da meysydd chwaraeon yng Nghymru, sydd, yn ei dro, yn helpu i hyrwyddo twristiaeth ac economi Cymru - dau bwnc sydd yn ddatganoledig. Hefyd, gallai'r darpariaethau hyn yn y Bil ddod o dan gymhwysedd deddfwriaethol y Senedd, gan eu bod yn ymwneud â swyddogaethau is-ddeddfau awdurdodau lleol. Gallai atal rhwystr neu niwsans sy'n cael eu hachosi gan dowtwyr tocynnau ddod o dan bwerau rheoli a llywodraethau da adran 235 Deddf Llywodraeth Leol 1972. Gallai'r Senedd ddeddfu ar y materion hyn, fel y gallai, o bosib, ddeddfu ar bwerau awdurdodau lleol i greu is-ddeddfau i atal towtio tocynnau sy'n achosi niwsans yn eu hardal. Felly, barn y Llywodraeth yw ei bod yn briodol delio â'r darpariaethau hyn ym Mil y Deyrnas Unedig. Dyna'r cyfrwng deddfwriaethol mwyaf ymarferol a chymesur i roi'r darpariaethau ar waith yng Nghymru. Mae'n ymarferol hefyd o ran amser a chydlyniant, yn arbennig o dan yr amgylchiadau rŷn ni'n gweithio gyda coronafeirws yn digwydd. Felly, byddai delio â throsedd towtio tocynnau ym Mil y Deyrnas Unedig yn golygu y caiff ddod i rym yng Nghymru yr un pryd ag yn Lloegr. Ac felly, dwi'n cyflwyno'r cynnig ac yn gofyn i'r Cynulliad ei gefnogi.
