English: Gadeirydd, thank you very much, and thank you to Mick. Mick Antoniw began by pointing to the astonishing demands that have been made on Government lawyers in the COVID context. Over 60 items of subordinate legislation have been made by Welsh Ministers since early February. Members here will expect, of course, that those powers have been used in relation to the health and social care systems, but they've also had to deal with planning, business tenancies, carrier bag charges, bathing water, education and local government. It's been an enormous effort, and the scrutiny provided through Mick Antoniw's committee, with the help of lawyers on the Commission side, has been invaluable given the speed at which all of this has had to be done. I look forward, too, to leasehold and commonhold reform. We've already, in this Senedd term, Dirprwy Lywydd dros dro, made a decision that no Help to Buy properties can be leasehold if they're to get support through the Welsh Government, and the management company issues affect freehold sales as well as leasehold sales. I can see that there are other Members around the Chamber here who've had to deal with the results of people having bought a house finding themselves caught up in management fees for freehold properties over which they appear to have very little control or redress. On the social partnership Bill, I'm grateful to trade union colleagues for their understanding about why we're not able to proceed with it, and I've said to my officials that I want us to use this period to make it an even more effective and important Bill when we're able to publish it in draft. The socioeconomic duty has survived some very tough meetings where we have had to cull our secondary legislative programme to the bone, but the Minister responsible for it is Deputy Minister Jane Hutt, and I can tell you that the tenacity with which Jane has ensured that that piece of secondary legislation remains alive has been everything you would have expected of her. I referred to codification in my opening statement. Dirprwy Lywydd, we have moved ahead with codification in relation to the historic environment and in the field of planning, and the next Government, of whatever colour, will be under an obligation passed by this Senedd to come forward with further codification and consolidation measures.
Welsh: Cadeirydd, diolch yn fawr iawn, a diolch i Mick. Dechreuodd Mick Antoniw drwy gyfeirio at y galwadau rhyfeddol sydd wedi'u gwneud ar gyfreithwyr y Llywodraeth yng nghyd-destun COVID. Mae dros 60 o eitemau o is-ddeddfwriaeth wedi'u gwneud gan Weinidogion Cymru ers dechrau mis Chwefror. Bydd yr Aelodau yma'n disgwyl, wrth gwrs, i'r pwerau hynny gael eu defnyddio mewn cysylltiad â'r systemau iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol, ond maent hefyd wedi gorfod ymdrin â chynllunio, tenantiaethau busnes, codi tâl am fagiau siopa, dŵr ymdrochi, addysg a llywodraeth leol. Mae wedi bod yn ymdrech enfawr, ac mae'r gwaith craffu a wnaed drwy bwyllgor Mick Antoniw, gyda chymorth cyfreithwyr ar ochr y Comisiwn, wedi bod yn amhrisiadwy o ystyried mor gyflym y bu'n rhaid gwneud hyn i gyd. Edrychaf ymlaen, hefyd, at ddiwygio lesddaliadau a chyfunddaliadau. Rydym ni eisoes wedi gwneud penderfyniad, yn y tymor Senedd hwn, Dirprwy Lywydd dros dro, na all unrhyw eiddo Cymorth i Brynu fod yn eiddo lesddaliad os ydynt am gael cymorth drwy Lywodraeth Cymru, ac mae materion y cwmni rheoli yn effeithio ar werthiannau eiddo rhydd-ddaliad yn ogystal â gwerthiannau lesddaliad. Gallaf weld bod aelodau eraill o amgylch y Siambr yma wedi gorfod ymdrin â'r canlyniadau pan fo pobl sydd wedi prynu tŷ yn canfod eu bod wedi'u clymu i ffioedd rheoli ar gyfer eiddo rhydd-ddaliad y mae'n ymddangos nad oes ganddynt fawr ddim rheolaeth drostynt ac nad oes gobaith o gael iawndal. O ran y Bil partneriaethau cymdeithasol, rwy'n ddiolchgar i gydweithwyr yn yr undebau llafur am eu dealltwriaeth ynglŷn â pham nad ydym yn gallu bwrw ymlaen ag ef, ac rwyf wedi dweud wrth fy swyddogion fy mod eisiau i ni ddefnyddio'r cyfnod hwn i'w wneud yn Fil hyd yn oed mwy effeithiol a phwysig pan fyddwn yn gallu ei gyhoeddi ar ffurf drafft. Mae'r ddyletswydd economaidd-gymdeithasol wedi goroesi rhai cyfarfodydd anodd iawn lle y bu'n rhaid inni dorri ein rhaglen is-ddeddfwriaethol at yr asgwrn, ond y Gweinidog sy'n gyfrifol amdani yw'r Dirprwy Weinidog Jane Hutt, a gallaf ddweud wrthych fod dycnwch Jane, sydd wedi sicrhau bod y darn hwnnw o is-ddeddfwriaeth yn parhau'n fyw, wedi bod yn bopeth y byddech wedi'i ddisgwyl ganddi. Cyfeiriais at gyfundrefnu yn fy natganiad agoriadol. Dirprwy Lywydd, rydym ni wedi symud ymlaen gyda chyfundrefnu o ran yr amgylchedd hanesyddol ac ym maes cynllunio, a bydd y Llywodraeth nesaf, o ba bynnag liw, o dan rwymedigaeth a fydd yn cael ei phasio gan y Senedd hon i gyflwyno cyfundrefnu a mesurau cydgrynhoi pellach.
