English: I thank you very much for those comments. And, of course, Jenny Rathbone has long been a proponent of this particular approach, and has lobbied the Government very strongly on this particular issue as well. So, I thank you for the work that you've been doing in preparation for this, for the introduction of the Bill. And you make an important point, which I think has been lost in a lot of the debate that we've had over the last 48 hours on the issue of minimum unit pricing, that it is very much about prevention and early intervention. Of course, you mentioned young people, and young people, especially those who drink heavily or frequently, have been shown to be particularly sensitive to price rises, and in particular there is evidence that demonstrates a relationship between drink prices and the heavy prevalence of drinking, and particularly pre-loading, amongst young people. So, I think that this legislation provides us with a good opportunity to take that preventative approach and allow young people to start their lives with a more healthy relationship with alcohol. Because we know that the recent health behaviour in school-age children survey data showed that drinking amongst young people should remain a concern for us, with 7 per cent of boys and 5 per cent of girls aged 11 to 16 in Wales drinking alcohol at least once a week. And the proportions get higher as the age of those children and young people gets higher as well. We need to ensure that, for those young people who do begin to misuse substances at an early point in their lives, there is early intervention and early identification available to them in order to limit harm and minimise the chances of misusing alcohol and drugs in future. And that's one of the reasons why we see this piece of legislation very much within a wider context of the support that we should offer to people in that preventative agenda, and that supporting agenda, if and when young people become involved in drugs and alcohol, and we do ensure that we have a range of services available. For example, we have counselling, emotional well-being - hidden harm services are very important, and those are services for children and young people impacted upon by problem alcohol and drug use by their parents, or their carers, within the family home as well. And, of course, education and prevention for young people under 18 is an important part of the work we do, as are brief interventions, for example, cognitive behavioural therapy, harm reduction advice, and relapse prevention as well. So, it does have to be seen within the much wider context of the work that we are undertaking. Jenny Rathbone also mentioned the importance of enforcement as well. I'm very grateful to the WLGA for their fulsome support of this particular piece of legislation, because the Bill specifically provides that the local authorities will be the ones to bring prosecutions, investigate complaints and take other steps with a view to reducing minimum pricing offences in their area. The legislation also gives them powers of entry, powers in relation to inspections and also powers to issue fixed-penalty notices to people who they have reason to believe have committed a minimum pricing offence as well. So, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the WLGA for their support of this legislation, and also all of those organisations who John Griffiths mentioned in his contribution and many others who see the benefit of this approach.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn am y sylwadau yna. Ac wrth gwrs, mae Jenny Rathbone wedi bod yn gefnogol i'r ymagwedd benodol hon ers tro, ac mae wedi lobïo'r Llywodraeth yn gryf iawn ar y mater penodol hwn hefyd. Felly, diolch ichi am y gwaith yr ydych chi wedi bod yn ei wneud wrth baratoi ar gyfer hyn, ar gyfer cyflwyno'r Bil. Ac rydych chi'n gwneud pwynt pwysig, y credaf sydd wedi ei golli mewn llawer o'r ddadl yr ydym wedi ei chael dros y 48 awr diwethaf ar y mater isafbris uned, sef ei fod yn ymwneud i raddau helaeth ag atal ac ymyrraeth gynnar. Wrth gwrs, soniasoch am bobl ifanc, a dangoswyd bod pobl ifanc, yn enwedig y rheini sy'n yfed yn drwm neu'n aml, wedi bod yn arbennig o sensitif i gynnydd mewn prisiau, ac yn arbennig ceir tystiolaeth sy'n dangos perthynas rhwng prisiau yfed a chyffredinrwydd yfed trwm, ac yn arbennig yfed cyn mynd allan, ymhlith pobl ifanc. Felly, credaf fod y ddeddfwriaeth hon yn rhoi cyfle da i ni gymryd yr ymagwedd ataliol honno a chaniatáu i bobl ifanc ddechrau eu bywydau gyda pherthynas fwy iach gydag alcohol. Oherwydd rydym yn gwybod bod yr ymddygiad iechyd diweddar mewn data arolwg plant oedran ysgol yn dangos y dylai yfed ymhlith pobl ifanc fod yn bryder i ni, gyda 7 y cant o fechgyn a 5 y cant o ferched 11 i 16 oed yng Nghymru yn yfed alcohol o leiaf unwaith yr wythnos. Ac mae'r cyfrannau'n codi wrth i oedran y plant a'r bobl ifanc hynny godi hefyd. Mae angen inni sicrhau, er mwyn i'r bobl ifanc hynny sy'n dechrau camddefnyddio sylweddau yn fuan yn eu bywydau, bod ymyrraeth gynnar ac adnabod cynnar ar gael iddynt er mwyn cyfyngu ar niwed a lleihau'r siawns o gamddefnyddio alcohol a chyffuriau yn y dyfodol. A dyna un o'r rhesymau pam yr ydym ni'n gweld y darn hwn o ddeddfwriaeth o fewn cyd-destun ehangach y gefnogaeth y dylem ei chynnig i bobl yn yr agenda ataliol honno, a'r agenda gefnogi honno, os a phryd y mae pobl ifanc yn ymwneud â chyffuriau ac alcohol, ac rydym yn sicrhau bod gennym amrywiaeth o wasanaethau ar gael. Er enghraifft, mae gennym wasanaethau cwnsela, lles emosiynol - mae gwasanaethau niwed cudd yn bwysig iawn, ac mae'r rhain yn wasanaethau i blant a phobl ifanc yr effeithir arnynt gan ddefnydd alcohol a chyffuriau mewn modd sy'n achosi problem gan eu rhieni, neu eu gofalwyr, yn y cartref teuluol hefyd. Ac, wrth gwrs, mae addysg ac atal i bobl ifanc dan 18 oed yn rhan bwysig o'r gwaith a wnawn, fel y mae ymyriadau byr, er enghraifft, therapi ymddygiadol gwybyddol, cyngor ar leihau niwed, ac atal atglafychu hefyd. Felly, mae'n rhaid ei weld o fewn cyd-destun llawer ehangach y gwaith yr ydym ni'n ei wneud. Soniodd Jenny Rathbone am bwysigrwydd gorfodi hefyd. Rwy'n ddiolchgar iawn i CLlLC am eu cefnogaeth lawn i'r ddeddfwriaeth benodol hon, gan fod y Bil yn darparu'n benodol mai'r awdurdodau lleol fydd y rhai i ddod ag erlyniadau, ymchwilio i gwynion a chymryd camau eraill gyda'r bwriad o leihau troseddau gosod isafbris yn eu hardal. Mae'r ddeddfwriaeth hefyd yn rhoi pwerau mynediad iddynt, pwerau mewn perthynas ag arolygiadau a hefyd bwerau i roi hysbysiadau cosb benodedig i bobl y mae ganddynt reswm dros gredu eu bod wedi cyflawni trosedd gosod isafbris hefyd. Felly, hoffwn fanteisio ar y cyfle hwn i ddiolch i CLlLC am eu cefnogaeth i'r ddeddfwriaeth hon, a hefyd yr holl sefydliadau hynny a grybwyllodd John Griffiths yn ei gyfraniad a llawer o bobl eraill sy'n gweld budd y dull hwn.
