English: Minister, firstly to say thank you very much for the work that you and the leader of RCT council did recently when we were failed by the UK Government in respect of the testing capacity. I don't think people will realise that, as I understand it, you both ended up almost virtually working around the clock, through the night, in order to try and alleviate and increase that capacity, and I think that is very much appreciated by those who were then able to get tested. Can I just ask about, though, elective surgery, hips and knees? Because these things do affect people's lives very, very considerably, and I think we all understand the impact that COVID has had on the capacity within our health assets, and I'm just wondering to what extent we can actually get information out to people, explain to them what the situation is, and give some indication of what is happening, with a view to, I suppose, a timetable of trying to restore and increase the amount of elective surgery that can actually take place. People are reasonable, people do understand, and sometimes it is the most reasonable people who are the ones who suffer silently, and I think we have an obligation to at least, I think, be as transparent as possible with them with the challenges we face.
Welsh: Gweinidog, yn gyntaf hoffwn ddweud diolch yn fawr iawn ichi am y gwaith a wnaethoch chi ac arweinydd cyngor Rhondda Cynon Taf yn ddiweddar pan gawsom ein siomi gan Lywodraeth y DU o ran y capasiti profi. Nid wyf yn credu y bydd pobl yn sylweddoli, yn ôl a ddeallaf, fod y ddau ohonoch wedi gweithio fwy neu lai ddydd a nos, er mwyn ceisio lleddfu a chynyddu'r capasiti hwnnw, a chredaf fod y rhai a oedd wedyn yn gallu cael eu profi yn gwerthfawrogi hynny'n fawr iawn. Ond a gaf i ofyn ynghylch llawdriniaeth ddewisol, cluniau a phengliniau? Gan fod y pethau hyn yn effeithio ar fywydau pobl yn sylweddol iawn, a chredaf ein bod i gyd yn deall yr effaith y mae COVID wedi'i chael ar y capasiti o fewn ein hasedau iechyd, a tybed i ba raddau y gallwn ni mewn gwirionedd hysbysu bobl, egluro iddyn nhw beth yw'r sefyllfa, a rhoi rhyw syniad o'r hyn sy'n digwydd, gyda'r bwriad, mae'n debyg, o gael amserlen i geisio adfer a chynyddu faint o lawdriniaeth ddewisol a all ddigwydd mewn gwirionedd. Mae pobl yn rhesymol, mae pobl yn deall, ac weithiau'r bobl fwyaf rhesymol yw'r rhai sy'n dioddef yn dawel, a chredaf fod gennym ni rwymedigaeth i fod o leiaf mor dryloyw â phosibl ynghylch yr heriau a wynebwn.
English: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Minister, could I turn straight away to the NHS COVID-19 app? Could I ask first of all: are there similarities with the system being used in Scotland, where, for example, the QR codes are on every table and every counter and every bar in every restaurant? It is very easy, very convenient to use, and I have to say that everybody that I observed when I was there recently was using it. What proportion of the population need to actually update this and use this for it to be effective, and how can you promote that uptake, not least among the young and those who are big data sceptics? And, can you confirm that this is in addition to - not replacing - the old-school, tried and tested, localised test, trace and protect taking place in Wales? Finally, what's your very simple message to the people of Wales about why they should use this app? If you can't answer all of these in detail now, just write out to Members and we'll pass it on to our constituents. Thank you, Minister.
Welsh: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Gweinidog, a gaf i droi'n syth at ap COVID-19 y GIG? A gaf i ofyn yn gyntaf oll: a yw'n debyg i'r system sy'n cael ei defnyddio yn yr Alban, lle mae'r codau QR, er enghraifft, ar bob bwrdd a phob cownter a phob bar ym mhob bwyty? Mae'n hawdd iawn, yn gyfleus iawn i'w ddefnyddio, a rhaid imi ddweud bod pawb a welais pan oeddwn yno'n ddiweddar yn ei ddefnyddio. Pa gyfran o'r boblogaeth sydd angen diweddaru hwn a'i ddefnyddio er mwyn iddo fod yn effeithiol, a sut y gallwch chi hyrwyddo'r defnydd hwnnw, yn enwedig ymhlith yr ifanc a'r rhai sy'n amheus iawn o ddata? Ac, a allwch chi gadarnhau bod hyn yn ychwanegol at - nid yn disodli - y profi, olrhain a diogelu lleol traddodiadol sydd wedi ennill ei blwyf yng Nghymru? Yn olaf, beth yw eich neges syml iawn i bobl Cymru ynghylch pam y dylent ddefnyddio'r ap hwn? Os na allwch chi ateb y rhain i gyd yn fanwl nawr, ysgrifennwch at yr Aelodau a byddwn yn ei drosglwyddo i'n hetholwyr. Diolch, Gweinidog.
English: Thank you very much, Minister. There will now be a short break, just so people can re-clean the seats for change over. Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn, Gweinidog. Bydd seibiant byr nawr, dim ond er mwyn i bobl allu ail-lanhau'r seddi ar gyfer y trosglwyddiad. Diolch.
English: The next item of business is the statement by the Minister for Housing and Local Government on housing, poverty and communities and I call on the Minister to make the statement. Julie James.
Welsh: Yr eitem nesaf o fusnes yw'r datganiad gan y Gweinidog Tai a Llywodraeth Leol ar dai, tlodi a chymunedau a dwi'n galw ar y Gweinidog hynny i wneud y datganiad. Julie James.
English: Diolch, Delyth. Thank you very much for that suite of comments and questions. Just on the human right to housing, we are very much working alongside a number of organisations looking at how that might work. I just want to remind Members once more, as I constantly remind myself, that the Assembly, as it then was, passed the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016, and what a groundbreaking piece of legislation that is. And that actually goes quite a long way to doing some of the things that you mentioned there. But we have got some other things that we need to do. For example, the renting homes Act means that anybody renting a home, including social landlords, has to have a house that's fit for human habitation. And I'd just like to remind the Chamber that, of course, the Tories at Westminster level refused to put 'fit for human habitation' into their legislation, so that just shows you how low the benchmark is. So, we have done that - we've already moved that forward.
Welsh: Diolch, Delyth. Diolch yn fawr am y gyfres yna o sylwadau a chwestiynau. O ran yr hawl ddynol i dai, rydym yn gweithio'n galed iawn ochr yn ochr â nifer o sefydliadau sy'n edrych ar sut y gallai hynny weithio. Hoffwn atgoffa'r Aelodau unwaith eto, fel yr atgoffaf fy hun yn gyson, fod y Cynulliad, fel yr oedd bryd hynny, wedi pasio Deddf Rhentu Cartrefi (Cymru) 2016, ac am ddarn arloesol o ddeddfwriaeth yw hwnnw. Ac mae hynny'n gwneud cryn dipyn i gyflawni rhai o'r pethau y sonioch chi amdanyn nhw yn y fan yna. Ond mae gennym ni rai pethau eraill y mae angen i ni eu gwneud. Er enghraifft, mae'r Ddeddf rhentu cartrefi yn golygu bod yn rhaid i unrhyw un sy'n rhentu cartref, gan gynnwys landlordiaid cymdeithasol, gael tŷ sy'n addas i bobl fyw ynddo. A hoffwn atgoffa'r Siambr fod y Torïaid ar lefel San Steffan, wrth gwrs, wedi gwrthod rhoi 'yn addas i bobl fyw yno' yn eu deddfwriaeth, felly mae hynny'n dangos i chi pa mor isel yw'r meincnod. Felly, rydym wedi gwneud hynny - rydym ni eisoes wedi gwneud cynnydd gyda hynny.
English: Thank you, Minister, for the statement. I noted what you had to say about the work to tackle homelessness and to increase the number of social houses available. I had hoped to hear more from you in the statement on how the Government is going to use the planning system to tackle the inequality and the increasing unsustainability in housing markets in many communities across Wales, driven mainly, as I referred earlier this afternoon, by the increase in the number of second homes that we're seeing in many communities across Wales. It's a trend that's also driven by the fact that we are now seeing more people moving from cities and highly-populated areas to rural areas in Wales as a result of COVID-19. We are facing an increasingly unsustainable scenario. Many people in counties such as Gwynedd can't afford to buy homes in the counties in which they live, work and were brought up. I saw a statistic that 40 per cent of all the homes sold in Gwynedd last year were bought as second homes. So, I want to hear from you as a Minister what your intentions are in terms of using the planning system to tackle this inequality and unsustainability as other areas within the UK have done and as other nations in Europe and beyond have also done.
Welsh: Diolch, Weinidog, am eich datganiad chi. Roeddwn i'n nodi'r hyn roeddech chi'n ei ddweud ynglŷn â'r gwaith i daclo digartrefedd ac, wrth gwrs, i gynyddu nifer y tai cymdeithasol. Roeddwn i wedi gobeithio efallai clywed mwy gennych chi yn y datganiad ynglŷn â sut mae'r Llywodraeth am ddefnyddio'r system gynllunio i fynd i'r afael â'r anghyfartaledd a'r anghynaliadwyedd cynyddol rydym ni'n ei weld yn y marchnadoedd tai mewn nifer o gymunedau ar draws Cymru, sy'n cael ei yrru'n bennaf, fel roeddwn i'n cyfeirio'n gynharach y prynhawn yma, gan y cynydd yn nifer yr ail gartrefi rydym ni'n eu gweld mewn nifer o gymunedau ar draws Cymru, ac mae'n dueddiad hefyd, wrth gwrs, sy'n cael ei yrru gan y ffaith nawr ein bod ni'n gweld mwy o bobl yn symud o ddinasoedd ac ardaloedd poblog i ardaloedd gwledig yng Nghymru yn sgil COVID-19 hefyd. Rydym ni'n wynebu sefyllfa gynyddol anghynaliadwy: nid yw mwyafrif pobl mewn siroedd fel Gwynedd nawr yn gallu fforddio prynu tai yn y sir maen nhw wedi'i geni a'i magu ac yn byw ac yn gweithio ynddi hi. Gwelais i ystadegyn oedd yn awgrymu bod 40 y cant o'r holl dai a gafodd eu gwerthu yng Ngwynedd llynedd wedi cael eu prynu i fod yn ail gartrefi. Felly, dwi eisiau clywed gennych chi fel Gweinidog beth yw eich bwriad chi o safbwynt defnyddio'r system gynllunio i fynd i'r afael â'r anghyfartaledd a'r anghynaliadwyedd yna fel y mae ardaloedd eraill o fewn y Deyrnas Unedig wedi gwneud ac fel y mae gwledydd eraill yn Ewrop a thu hwnt wedi gwneud hefyd.
English: Item 6 on the agenda this afternoon is a statement by the Counsel General and Minister for European Transition - the UK internal market Bill - and I call on the Counsel General and Minister for European Transition, Jeremy Miles.
Welsh: Eitem 6 ar yr agenda y prynhawn yma yw datganiad gan y Cwnsler Cyffredinol a'r Gweinidog Pontio Ewropeaidd - Bil marchnad fewnol y DU - a galwaf ar y Cwnsler Cyffredinol a'r Gweinidog Pontio Ewropeaidd, Jeremy Miles.
English: Thank you very much to Dai Lloyd for those questions. The powers that we currently hold, as a result of the changes proposed by this Bill, aren't powers that we will be able to enforce in the future, and as Dai Lloyd himself said, it's not simply a constitutional question; it impacts on the daily lives of the people of Wales. So, plastics, building standards, the minimum alcohol price, hormone-injected beef, all sorts of things that will have an impact on people's daily lives, be they goods and foodstuffs, then there is a risk for all of those in different ways. There is a reference in the Bill, in one of the parts of the Bill, that the health service is not within its scope, but that could be changed by a Minister in Westminster without any consent from this Senedd. So, there is a risk there, too, in terms of our health services and other public services. There are powers that we can continue to use but can't enforce, and there are powers that we can continue to use but the UK Government can circumvent those. There are examples of all of those things in the Bill, and that is why we are opposing it so strongly. I disagree with the end point that Dai Lloyd described at the end of his speech, but it's clear that we need fundamental reform of the relationship between the Welsh Government and the UK Government, and the constitutional settlement more generally, in order to ensure that we maintain the standards the people of Wales have expected and enjoyed over the past two decades.
Welsh: Diolch i Dai Lloyd am y cwestiynau hynny. Mae'r pwerau sydd gyda ni ar hyn o bryd, yn sgil y newidiadau sydd yn arfaethedig yn y Mesur hwn, ddim yn bwerau gallwn ni eu gweithredu yn y dyfodol, ac fel mae Dai Lloyd ei hun yn dweud, nid cwestiwn cyfansoddiadol yn unig yw hwn; mae'n gwestiwn sy'n effeithio ar fywyd pob dydd pobl yng Nghymru. Felly, plastigau, safonau adeiladu, isafswm alcohol, cig eidion gyda hormones, pob mathau o bethau sydd yn effeithio ar fywyd pob dydd, naill ai drwy nwyddau, bwydydd ac ati, mae peryg i'r rheini i gyd mewn gwahanol ffyrdd. Mae cyfeiriad yn y Bil, yn un o'r rhannau yn y Bil, nad yw'r gwasanaeth iechyd o fewn sgôp y Bil, ond gall hynny gael ei newid gan Weinidog yn San Steffan heb unrhyw rwystredigaeth wrth y Senedd hon. Felly, mae risg yn perthyn i hynny hefyd i'r gwasanaethau iechyd a gwasanaethau cyhoeddus. Mae pwerau gallwn ni barhau i'w defnyddio ond gallwn ni ddim eu gorfodi, ac mae pwerau gallwn ni barhau i'w defnyddio ond gall y Llywodraeth yn San Steffan fynd o'u hamgylch nhw. Mae enghreifftiau o'r holl bethau hynny yn y Bil, a dyna pam rŷn ni'n ei wrthwynebu fe mor ffyrnig. Dwi'n anghytuno ar ben y daith mae Dai Lloyd yn disgrifio ar ddiwedd ei araith, ond mae'n sicr ddigon yn sgil hyn fod angen diwygio sylfaenol ar y berthynas rhwng Llywodraeth Cymru a'r Deyrnas Gyfunol, a'r setliad cyfansoddiadol yn gyffredinol, er mwyn ein bod ni'n gallu sicrhau ein bod ni'n cynnal y safonau mae pobl yng Nghymru wedi disgwyl ac wedi mwynhau dros y ddau ddegawd diwethaf.
English: Dirprwy Lywydd, the reason I have challenged this Bill is not at all for the reason that the Member gives; it's precisely because I understand that if the UK Government proceeds in this way, it poses a threat to the union, actually, and I don't want to see that happen. And I know that devolution and high standards are nowhere near the top of the list of the Member's priorities, but they are in this place, and I stand by the remarks that I made in that letter. I think it's absolutely fundamental to any understanding of devolution that the UK Government ought to operate on an agreed basis with other Governments in the UK in relation to devolved matters. And we have put forward, as a Government, an alternative mechanism for achieving that, which is constructive, is capable of working, and incidentally it's one the UK Government have themselves been participating in. So, we're not opposed to the idea of an internal market. We have also said, incidentally, that we are not opposed to elements of legislation to support the common frameworks, but there is a much better way forward than the way this Bill represents. It's to continue the work of common frameworks and achieve this set of outcomes on an agreed basis across the UK, not an imposed basis, which is what this Bill represents.
Welsh: Dirprwy Lywydd, nid y rheswm y mae'r Aelod yn ei roi yw'r rheswm yr wyf i wedi herio'r Bil hwn o gwbl; mae'n union oherwydd fy mod i'n deall, os bydd Llywodraeth y DU yn mynd ymlaen fel hyn, bod hynny'n fygythiad i'r undeb, mewn gwirionedd, ac nid wyf i eisiau gweld hynny'n digwydd. Ac rwy'n gwybod nad yw datganoli a safonau uchel yn agos o gwbl at frig rhestr blaenoriaethau'r Aelod, ond maen nhw yn y lle hwn, ac rwy'n parhau i gredu yn y sylwadau a wnes i yn y llythyr hwnnw. Rwy'n credu ei bod yn gwbl hanfodol i unrhyw ddealltwriaeth o ddatganoli y dylai Llywodraeth y DU weithredu ar sail gytunedig gyda Llywodraethau eraill yn y DU o ran materion datganoledig. Ac rydym ni wedi cyflwyno, fel Llywodraeth, dull amgen ar gyfer cyflawni hynny, sy'n adeiladol, a fyddai'n gallu gweithio, a gyda llaw mae'n un y mae Llywodraeth y DU wedi bod yn cymryd rhan ynddo. Felly, nid ydym ni'n gwrthwynebu'r syniad o farchnad fewnol. Rydym ni hefyd wedi dweud, gyda llaw, nad ydym ni'n gwrthwynebu elfennau o ddeddfwriaeth i gefnogi'r fframweithiau cyffredin, ond mae ffordd well o lawer ymlaen na'r ffordd y mae'r Bil hwn yn ei gynrychioli. Bydd yn parhau â gwaith fframweithiau cyffredin a chyflawni'r gyfres hon o ganlyniadau ar sail gytunedig ledled y DU, nid ar sail orfodol, sef yr hyn y mae'r Bil hwn yn ei gynrychioli.
English: I thank Mick Antoniw for those remarks, and they carry particular weight given his role as a former Counsel General as well. But I will just say this point: he is right to say that there are parts of this Bill that legislate to effectively put ministerial action above the law. There are express provisions that state that regulations can be made regardless of whether they comply with domestic law or international agreements. Now, that is corrosive, in my opinion, of the British Government's reputation. Successive British Governments have described themselves as having a commitment to the rule of law and that being fundamental to Britain's sense of itself in the world, and I think provisions like that in legislation are corrosive of that reputation. They're corrosive of that reputation internationally, but also they put in place additional barriers within the UK to relationships between the Governments, which are dependent almost entirely on commitments made between one Government and another, and I think, at this particular time, the UK Government ought not to be looking for reasons for that to be the case. I think there are a range of views in this Chamber about this Bill, there are certainly a range of views in this Chamber about the backdrop that EU exit provides to it, but I would hope that we could achieve a much broader coalition of support in this Chamber on the question of rule of law and the risk that this Bill runs to the rule of law.
Welsh: Diolch i Mick Antoniw am y sylwadau yna, ac mae ei sylwadau yn cario pwys arbennig o ystyried ei swyddogaeth fel Cwnsler Cyffredinol blaenorol hefyd. Ond fe dywedaf y pwynt hwn: mae'n gywir i ddweud bod rhannau o'r Bil hwn yn deddfu i, fwy neu lai, roi gweithrediadau gweinidogol uwchlaw y gyfraith. Mae darpariaethau datganedig sy'n nodi y ceir gwneud rheoliadau pa un a ydyn nhw'n cydymffurfio â chyfraith ddomestig neu gytundebau rhyngwladol ai peidio. Nawr, mae hynny'n ddeifiol, yn fy marn i, o enw da Llywodraeth Prydain. Mae Llywodraethau Prydeinig olynol wedi dweud eu bod yn ymrwymo i reolaeth y gyfraith a'i fod yn hanfodol i synnwyr Prydain ohono'i hun yn y byd, a chredaf fod darpariaethau o'r math hwnnw mewn deddfwriaeth yn ddeifiol i'r enw da hwnnw. Maen nhw'n llygru'r enw da rhyngwladol hwnnw, ond hefyd maen nhw'n rhoi rhwystrau ychwanegol o fewn y DU ar y berthynas rhwng y Llywodraethau, sy'n dibynnu bron yn gyfan gwbl ar ymrwymiadau a wnaed rhwng y naill Lywodraeth a'r llall, a chredaf, ar yr adeg benodol hon, na ddylai Llywodraeth y DU fod yn chwilio am resymau dros wneud hynny. Credaf fod amrywiaeth o safbwyntiau yn y Siambr hon ynglŷn â'r Bil hwn, yn sicr mae amrywiaeth o safbwyntiau yn y Siambr hon ynglŷn â'r cefndir y mae gadael yr UE yn ei roi iddo, ond rwy'n gobeithio y gallem sicrhau clymblaid ehangach o lawer o ran cefnogaeth yn y Siambr hon ar fater rheolaeth y gyfraith a'r perygl y mae'r Bil hwn yn ei achosi i reolaeth y gyfraith.
English: Counsel General, the behaviour of some Conservative MPs in last night's internal market Bill debate was deplorable. They continually misrepresented the facts through cynical contradiction, claiming the Bill conferred new devolved powers while gloating over the fact that it takes them away. It was particularly galling, and I'm sure that you'll agree with me, to hear the former Secretary of State, Alun Cairns, welcoming clause 46, which transfers wide spending powers from Wales to Westminster, when he told the External Affairs and Additional Legislation Committee in November 2017, 'there is no agenda in terms of withdrawing powers or rolling back powers from the Welsh Government.' There was an agenda, and he supported it. The Tories have misled us every step of the way and have dishonoured themselves with their appalling conduct. So, Counsel General, can you tell me what the current status is of the inter-governmental agreement now that the Tories have broken every key clause, including clause 6, which states 'The UK Government commits to make regulations through a collaborative process and in accordance with this agreement'? And can you assure me that you will do whatever it takes to protect the powers of our Senedd, including considering bringing a case to the Supreme Court, perhaps in conjunction with the Scottish Government?
Welsh: Cwnsler Cyffredinol, yr oedd ymddygiad rhai ASau Ceidwadol yn nadl y Bil marchnad fewnol neithiwr yn warthus. Fe wnaethon nhw gamliwio'r ffeithiau yn barhaus drwy wrth-ddweud sinigaidd, gan honni bod y Bil wedi rhoi pwerau datganoledig newydd wrth lawenhau ynghylch y ffaith ei fod yn mynd â hwy i ffwrdd. Roedd yn arbennig o sarhaus, ac rwy'n siŵr eich bod yn cytuno â mi, i glywed y cyn Ysgrifennydd Gwladol, Alun Cairns, yn croesawu cymal 46, sy'n trosglwyddo pwerau gwario eang o Gymru i San Steffan, ar ôl iddo ddweud wrth y Pwyllgor Materion Allanol a Deddfwriaeth Ychwanegol ym mis Tachwedd 2017 nad oedd agenda o ran tynnu pwerau'n ôl oddi wrth Llywodraeth Cymru. Roedd agenda, ac yr oedd ef yn ei chefnogi. Mae'r Torïaid wedi ein camarwain bob cam o'r ffordd ac wedi codi cywilydd ar eu hunain drwy eu hymddygiad gwarthus. Felly, Cwnsler Cyffredinol, a allwch chi ddweud wrthyf i beth yw statws presennol y cytundeb rhynglywodraethol gan fod y Torïaid bellach wedi torri pob cymal allweddol, gan gynnwys cymal 6, sy'n datgan bod Llywodraeth y DU yn ymrwymo i wneud rheoliadau drwy broses gydweithredol ac yn unol â'r cytundeb hwn? Ac a allwch fy sicrhau i y byddwch yn gwneud beth bynnag sydd ei hangen i ddiogelu pwerau ein Senedd, gan gynnwys ystyried cyflwyno achos i'r Goruchaf Lys, efallai ar y cyd â Llywodraeth yr Alban?
