English: We're of the view that the drafting in the Bill as presented is acceptable for this section. We are concerned that the Counsel General's amendments are an attempt by Government to intervene in the flow of the Bill and to overturn the drafting. It's important to note that this is not a Government Bill, and that's for good reason, because the Assembly gave the mandate to the Commission and the Llywydd to introduce the legislation. We will, therefore, reject the amendments. We will also reject David Melding's amendments. Our view is that there is appropriate provision in the Bill for oversight and management of statutory instruments made under this primary legislation. Specifically, section 28 (2) and 28 (4) make it a requirement for the Senedd to approve statutory instruments through a simple majority and also to revoke statutory instruments likewise, where that is appropriate. The Bill already requires a two-thirds majority to become legislation. We believe that requiring a two-thirds majority to support statutory instruments made under the primary legislation, if it receives that support, would be excessive and would put at risk the implementation of the legislation. Thank you very much.
Welsh: Rydyn ni o'r farn bod y drafftio yn y Bil fel y'i gyflwynwyd yn dderbyniol ar gyfer yr adran hon. Pryderwn fod gwelliannau'r Cwnsler Cyffredinol yn ymgais gan y Llywodraeth i ymyrryd yn llif y Bil ac i ailwampio'r drafftio. Mae'n bwysig cofio nad Bil y Llywodraeth yw hwn, a hynny am reswm da, a bod y Cynulliad wedi rhoi'r mandad i'r Comisiwn a'r Llywydd i gyflwyno'r Bil. Mi fyddwn ni'n ei wrthod, felly. Byddwn ni hefyd yn gwrthod gwelliannau David Melding yn yr un modd. Ein barn ni yw bod darpariaeth briodol yn y Bil i gadw goruchwyliaeth a rheolaeth dros offerynnau statudol a wneir dan y ddeddfwriaeth gynradd. Yn benodol, mae adran 28 (2) a 28 (4) yn ei gwneud yn ofynnol i'r Senedd gymeradwyo offerynnau statudol drwy fwyafrif syml a hefyd i ddiddymu offerynnau statudol yn yr un modd, lle bod hynny'n berthnasol. Mae'r Bil eisoes angen dwy ran o dair i'w droi'n ddeddfwriaeth. Rydyn ni'n meddwl y byddai gofyn am ddwy ran o dair i gefnogi offerynnau statudol a wneir dan y ddeddfwriaeth gynradd, os yw'n derbyn y gefnogaeth honno, yn ormodol ac yn peryglu a llesteirio gweithredu'r ddeddfwriaeth. Diolch yn fawr.
English: Amendments 54, 66 and 67 of the Counsel General broaden the Government's regulation-making powers under this Bill. The amendments will allow Ministers to make supplemental, incidental or consequential provisions to give full effect to the Bill. This will not allow Ministers to make significant changes to the Bill as passed by Members, but it does give Ministers wide discretion. I would like to remind Members that, in its report on making laws for Wales, published in 2015, the Constitutional and Legislative Affairs Committee recommended that powers to make supplemental or consequential provision should not be included routinely in Bills and should be reserved for cases where there are special reasons why the Welsh Government needs to deal with minor or consequential issues through delegated legislation. Therefore, Members will wish to assure themselves that they're clear on how the Welsh Government wishes to use the broader regulation-making powers proposed by amendments 54, 66 and 67. David Melding's amendment 67A requires the approval of two thirds of voting Members to approve regulations made under this Bill once enacted. I am sympathetic to these proposals. Any amendments to the Bill, if done by primary legislation, would require 40 out of 60 Members agreeing. It could, therefore, be viewed as appropriate that regulations that may amend the Bill are agreed by a supermajority as an additional safeguard.
Welsh: Mae gwelliannau 54, 66 a 67 y Cwnsler Cyffredinol yn ehangu pwerau'r Llywodraeth i wneud rheoliadau. Bydd y gwelliannau'n galluogi Gweinidogion i wneud darpariaethau atodol cysylltiedig neu ganlyniadol i roi effaith llawn i'r Bil. Ni fydd hyn yn caniatáu i Weinidogion wneud newidiadau sylweddol i'r Bil fel y'i basiwyd gan yr Aelodau, ond mae yn rhoi disgresiwn eang i Weinidogion. Hoffwn atgoffa'r Aelodau bod y Pwyllgor Materion Cyfansoddiadol a Deddfwriaethol, yn ei adroddiad ar ddeddfu yng Nghymru, a gyhoeddwyd yn 2015, wedi argymell na ddylai pwerau i wneud darpariaeth atodol neu ganlyniadol gael eu cynnwys fel mater o drefn mewn Biliau ac y dylid eu cadw ar gyfer achosion lle mae rhesymau arbennig pam y mae angen i Lywodraeth Cymru ymdrin â materion bach neu ganlyniadol drwy ddeddfwriaeth ddirprwyedig. Felly, bydd yr Aelodau heddiw am sicrhau eu hunain eu bod yn glir sut y mae Llywodraeth Cymru'n dymuno defnyddio'r pwerau ehangach hyn i wneud rheoliadau a gynigir yng ngwelliannau 54, 66 a 67. Mae gwelliant 67A David Melding yn gofyn am gymeradwyaeth dwy ran o dair o Aelodau sydd â phleidlais i gymeradwyo rheoliadau a wneir dan y Mesur yma ar ôl ei ddeddfu. Rwy'n cydymdeimlo â'r cynnig hyn. Byddai unrhyw newidiadau i'r Bil a fyddai'n cael eu gwneud gan ddeddfwriaeth sylfaenol angen cytundeb 40 o'r 60 Aelod, felly gellid ystyried eu bod yn briodol fod rheoliadau a allai ddiwygio'r Bil yn cael eu cytuno drwy uwch fwyafrif hefyd ac y byddai hynny'n amddiffyniad ychwanegol.
English: It's quite difficult to hear, to be honest. As I asked in my opening remarks, can you confirm to me that the intention of this amendment 79 is that, under the terms of this amendment, a Member of the UK Parliament would have the right to stand for election on condition that he or she steps down if successful in that election?
Welsh: Mae'n eithaf anodd clywed yma, a bod yn onest. Fel y gofynnais i yn fy sylwadau agoriadol, a allwch chi gadarnhau mai bwriad y gwelliant yma, 79 - neu y byddai, o dan y gwelliant yma, yr hawl gan Aelod o Senedd Prydain sefyll mewn etholiad i'r Cynulliad, ar yr amod y byddai'n yn camu i lawr os ydynt yn ennill etholiad?
English: It ensures that if a person is already a Member, they cannot stand as a Member or be a Member of the Senedd. That is the intention of the amendment. But, as I said, there's an opportunity for that person to stand down in the elections subsequently. That would allow them to be a Member.
Welsh: Mae'n sicrhau, os oes rhywun eisoes yn Aelod, nad ydyn nhw'n gallu sefyll fel Aelod nac yn gallu bod yn Aelod yn y Senedd. Dyna beth yw bwriad y gwelliant. Ond fel y gwnes i ei ddweud, mae yna gyfle i'r person yna i sefyll lawr yn yr etholiad nesaf ar ôl hynny. Byddai hynny'n caniatau iddyn nhw fod yn Aelod.
English: Speaking to the amendments in this group, we feel that making a small addition to the time allowed before a first meeting of Plenary is held following an election appears very reasonable. In many other nations, where negotiations on how to form a government can take a great deal of time, it is quite normal, because what's important, of course, is that the different groups can come together and draw up a programme for government. And I think making this relatively minor change does make sense and is a sign of the maturity of this Senedd. So, we will be opposing amendment 272. Further to that, we welcome the work that the Llywydd has done to significantly expand the range of activities happening in the Senedd and on the estate. People will recall the National Eisteddfod here, the celebrations of our sporting achievements, which have been held on the steps of the Senedd and within the Senedd, and, most recently, the very successful cultural provision as part of the GWLAD Festival. And, to support that, we do see a benefit in the possibility of the Senedd Commission charging for certain services and activities, but we would want to see it being used very carefully, in a way that doesn't exclude anyone from the core activity of the Senedd as a legislature for the people of Wales. We will be supporting amendments 2 and 25, in the name of the Llywydd.
Welsh: Yn siarad i'r gwelliannau yn yr adran yma, rydym ni'n teimlo bod gwneud ychwanegiad cymharol fychan i'r amser mae'n rhaid ei ganiatáu ar gyfer cynnull Cyfarfod Llawn o'r Senedd yn dilyn etholiad yn ymddangos yn rhesymol iawn. Mewn llawer o wledydd eraill, lle mae trafodaethau ynglŷn â sut i ffurfio llywodraeth yn gallu cymryd peth amser, mae'n normal, achos beth sy'n bwysig, wrth gwrs, ydy bod gwahanol grwpiau'n gallu dod at ei gilydd a llunio rhaglen ar gyfer llywodraeth. A dwi'n meddwl bod gwneud y newid cymharol fach yma yn gwneud synnwyr ac yn arwydd o aeddfedrwydd y Senedd hon. Felly, mi fyddwn ni'n gwrthwynebu gwelliant 272. Ymhellach, rydym ni'n croesawu'r gwaith mae'r Llywydd wedi'i wneud i ehangu'n sylweddol ystod y gweithgareddau sy'n digwydd yn y Senedd ac ar y stâd yn ehangach. Mi fydd pobl yn cofio'r Eisteddfod Genedlaethol yma, dathliadau ein campau ni fel cenedl ar y meysydd chwarae, sydd wedi'u cynnal ar y grisiau ac yn y Senedd, ac, yn fwy diweddar, arlwy diwylliannol llwyddiannus fel rhan o ŵyl GWLAD. Ac, i gefnogi hynny, rydym ni'n gweld budd dros greu'r posibilrwydd i Gomisiwn y Senedd godi tâl am rai gwasanaethau a gweithgareddau, ond mi fyddem ni am ei weld, wrth gwrs, yn cael ei ddefnyddio'n ofalus, mewn ffordd nad yw'n cau neb allan o weithgarwch craidd y Senedd fel deddfwrfa i bobl Cymru. Mi fyddwn ni'n cefnogi gwelliannau 2 a 25 yn enw'r Llywydd.
English: Thank you, Chair. I would ask Members to oppose amendments 272 and 277 in the name of David Melding, which removes the section from the Bill that would provide the Assembly with the flexibility to meet within 14 days after a general election. In my view, the current requirement for the Assembly to meet within seven days is unduly restrictive. It limits the time available for political discussions and negotiations on the forming of an executive, and eligibility for the offices of Llywydd and Deputy Presiding Officer is contingent on the outcomes of such negotiations, because these outcomes may be a factor in Members' decisions about whether to put themselves forward to be elected as Llywydd or Deputy Presiding Officer and their decisions about who to support for election to these offices. I believe it is therefore wholly appropriate to extend the requirement for the Assembly to meet within seven days to become 14 days, bearing in mind, of course that that will still allow meeting within those seven days, if that's what Members wish. Also, I would ask Members to support amendment 2, tabled in my name, which amends section 4 of the Government of Wales Act to reflect the extension of the deadline for the first meeting of the Assembly after an election. And I would also ask Members to support amendments 4, 25, and 13, which all correct minor drafting errors in the Bill.
Welsh: Diolch, Cadeirydd. Dwi'n gofyn i Aelodau wrthwynebu gwelliannau 272 a 277 yn enw David Melding, sy'n dileu'r adran o'r Bil a fyddai'n rhoi hyblygrwydd i'r Cynulliad gwrdd o fewn 14 diwrnod ar ôl etholiad cyffredinol. Yn fy marn i, mae'r gofyniad presennol ar y Cynulliad i gyfarfod o fewn saith niwrnod yn rhy gyfyng. Mae'n cyfyngu ar yr amser sydd ar gael ar gyfer y trafodaethau gwleidyddol a thrafodaethau ynghylch ffurfio gweithrediaeth, ac mae cymhwystra ar gyfer swyddi'r Llywydd a'r Dirprwy Lywydd yn amodol ar ganlyniadau trafodaethau gwleidyddol o'r fath, achos gall y materion yma fod yn ffactor ym mhenderfyniadau Aelodau ynghylch a ddylent ymgeisio i gael eu hethol yn Llywydd neu'r Dirprwy Lywydd, neu eu penderfyniadau ynghylch pwy i'w gefnogi i'w ethol i'r swyddi yma. Dwi'n credu ei bod hi'n gwbl briodol ac yn gwbl ymarferol felly i ymestyn y gofyniad i'r Cynulliad gwrdd cyn pen saith niwrnod i 14 diwrnod, gan gofio, wrth gwrs, fod hynny yn dal yn mynd i ganiatáu cwrdd o fewn y saith niwrnod hynny, os taw dyna ddymuniad yr Aelodau. Hefyd, felly, byddwn yn gofyn i Aelodau gefnogi gwelliant 2, sydd wedi'i gyflwyno yn fy enw i, sy'n diwygio adran 4 o Ddeddf Llywodraeth Cymru i adlewyrchu ymestyn y terfyn amser yma ar gyfer cyfarfod cyntaf y Cynulliad ar ôl etholiad. A hefyd gofynnaf am gefnogaeth i welliannau 4, 25, ac 13, sy'n cywiro mân wallau drafftio yn y Bil.
English: Thank you. The evidence raised during Stage 1 has been supportive of the principle of reforming electoral law based on proposals from the Law Commission. However, the Assembly Commission appreciates concerns raised by both the Constitutional and Legislative Affairs Committee and the Counsel General regarding the propriety of addressing this issue through use of subordinate legislation-making powers. As such, I ask the Assembly to support my amendment 3 to remove section 36 of the Bill, and my amendments 27 and 1, which are consequential. I look forward to the Welsh Government pursuing in due course the Counsel General's preferred approach of addressing Law Commission recommendations through an expedited primary legislation procedure.
Welsh: Diolch. Mae'r dystiolaeth a gafwyd yn ystod Cyfnod 1 wedi cefnogi'r egwyddor o gyflwyno gwelliannau i'r gyfraith etholiadol yn seiliedig ar gynigion gan Gomisiwn y Gyfraith. Fodd bynnag, mae Comisiwn y Cynulliad yn cydnabod y pryderon a godwyd gan y Pwyllgor Materion Cyfansoddiadol a Deddfwriaethol a'r Cwnsler Cyffredinol ynglŷn â phriodoldeb mynd i'r afael â'r mater hwn drwy ddefnyddio pwerau llunio is-ddeddfwriaeth. Yn hynny o beth, felly, dwi'n gofyn i'r Cynulliad gefnogi fy ngwelliant 3 i ddileu adran 36 o'r Bil, a'm gwelliannau 27 ac 1, sydd yn rhai canlyniadol. Rwy'n edrych ymlaen, maes o law, at weld Llywodraeth Cymru yn dilyn yr ymagwedd a ffefrir gan y Cwnsler Cyffredinol o fynd i'r afael ag argymhellion Comisiwn y Gyfraith drwy broses frys ar gyfer deddfwriaeth sylfaenol.
English: Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. In terms of group 8, we accept the consensus that has developed that this provision should be dropped from the Bill, including the recommendation made by the Constitutional and Legislative Affairs Committee in this regard. Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Yn nhermau grŵp 8, rydyn ni'n derbyn y consensws sydd wedi datblygu y dylid gollwng y ddarpariaeth yma o'r Bil, gan gynnwys argymhelliad y Pwyllgor Materion Cyfansoddiadol a Deddfwriaethol yn y cyswllt hwn. Diolch yn fawr.
English: I'm pleased to support the Llywydd's amendments and I hope that the Senedd will do likewise.
Welsh: Rwy'n hapus i gefnogi gwelliannau'r Llywydd a gobeithio gwnaiff y Senedd hynny hefyd.
English: When Welsh legislation amends United Kingdom-wide legislation, I believe that it gives greater clarity if the country or countries to which the legislation relates - known as the extent of the Bill - are specified in the Bill. In this case, the legislation will be part of the laws of Wales and England. However, this is fundamentally a matter of the Bill's readability, and it will not have a bearing on its legislative effect. I am of a different view to the Counsel General on this, and therefore I ask Members to reject amendment the Counsel General's amendment 68 and the consequential amendment 36, and I would also ask Members to support my amendments 26 and 14, which correct minor drafting errors in the Welsh version of the Bill, and also amendment 9 for the same reason.
Welsh: Pan fydd deddfwriaeth Cymru yn diwygio deddfwriaeth y Deyrnas Unedig, dwi'n credu ei bod yn rhoi rhagor o eglurder os yw'r wlad neu'r gwledydd y mae'r ddeddfwriaeth yn gymwys iddi, sef rhychwant y Bil, wedi eu nodi yn y Bil. Yn yr achos hwn, bydd y ddeddfwriaeth yma'n rhan o gyfreithiau Cymru a Lloegr. Fodd bynnag, mae hyn yn sylfaenol yn fater o ba mor ddarllenadwy yw'r Bil, ac ni fydd hyn a'r newidiadau yma yn effeithio ar ei effaith ddeddfwriaethol. Dwi o farn gwahanol i'r Cwnsler Cyffredinol ar hyn a dwi felly'n gofyn i Aelodau wrthod gwelliant 68 y Cwnsler Cyffredinol a'r gwelliant canlyniadol, 36, a gofyn hefyd i Aelodau gefnogi gwelliannau 26 a 14, sy'n cywiro mân wallau drafftio yn fersiwn Gymraeg y Bil, a gwelliant 9 am reswm cywiro hefyd - y tri yna yn fy enw i.
English: I'll be asking my questions in Welsh. We've heard a lot about this situation with staffing and I have more questions about that later, but I just wanted to ask a general question as to whether you believe that the arrangements for you in this specific post have been sufficiently supportive. Do you think that if you'd received more support we'd be in this position? We've asked you many times about the situation with offices and with staffing. It's been very slow in terms of progress. So, what would you change if you could have your time over again?
Welsh: Byddaf i'n gofyn cwestiynau yn Gymraeg. Dŷn ni wedi clywed lot ynglŷn â'r sefyllfa gyda'r staffio. Mae mwy o gwestiynau gen i am hynny'n hwyrach, ond roeddwn i jest eisiau gofyn cwestiwn cyffredinol ynglŷn ag ydych chi'n credu bod y trefniadau ar eich cyfer chi yn y swydd benodol yma wedi bod yn ddigon cefnogol. Ydych chi'n credu, petaech chi wedi cael mwy o gefnogaeth, y byddem ni yn y sefyllfa yma? Dŷn ni wedi gofyn i chi nifer o weithiau am y sefyllfa gyda'r swyddfeydd a'r staffio, ond mae e'n araf iawn o ran cynnydd. Felly, beth fyddech chi'n newid petaech chi'n cael eich amser eto?
English: But if they don't comply with the legal framework, isn't there a way to bring them to account under that specific framework already in place? You've said there are problems with the DVSA, but why haven't they been brought to account for this?
Welsh: Ond os nad ydyn nhw'n cydymffurfio â'r fframwaith cyfreithiol, onid oes ffordd i'w dwyn nhw i gyfrif o fewn y fframwaith penodol hynny'n barod? Dŷch chi wedi dweud bod problemau gyda'r DVSA, ond pam nad ydyn nhw wedi cael eu dwyn i gyfrif am hyn?
English: The legal framework is what I'm talking about now. If the legal framework and the memorandum aren't working, why aren't there methods to hold them to account for that?
Welsh: Y fframwaith cyfreithiol dwi'n sôn am nawr. Os nad yw'r fframwaith cyfreithiol - y memorandwm - yn gweithio, pam nad oes yna ffyrdd i'w dwyn nhw i gyfrif am hynny?
English: But you have to realise that we're asking questions as politicians here, and if it's not working, someone, somewhere needs to say what needs to change, how people need to be held to account and then how we can scrutinise in future. That's what's difficult for us time after time in terms of this process.
Welsh: Ond mae'n rhaid ichi sylweddol, rŷn ni'n gofyn cwestiynau fel gwleidyddion ac os dyw e ddim yn gweithio, mae angen i rywun rhywle ddweud beth sydd angen ei newid, sut mae angen dwyn pobl i gyfrif a sut dŷn ni'n gallu wedyn sgrwtineiddio yn y dyfodol. Dyna beth sy'n anodd inni dro ar ôl tro o ran y broses yma.
English: Okay. I didn't want to talk about staffing specifically; I did want to talk about the legal framework, but perhaps we could look into that in greater detail. But just in terms of establishing staffing and offices, you told us in January that things would be changing quite quickly. That's what we understood from your statement - that more would happen more quickly in terms of staffing and offices in north Wales and staffing in Cardiff. Now, there has been some development, but not very much. So, what are the problems that have stopped this from developing so quickly?
Welsh: Ocê. Doeddwn i ddim eisiau siarad am staffio yn benodol; roeddwn i eisiau siarad am y fframwaith cyfreithiol, ond efallai gallwn ni edrych mewn i hynny mewn mwy o fanylder. Jest o ran sefydlu staffio a swyddfeydd, roeddech chi wedi dweud wrthym ni ym mis Ionawr bod pethau'n mynd i newid yn weddol o glou. Dyna'r hyn roeddwn i'n ei gymryd o'ch datganiad chi - bod mwy yn mynd i ddigwydd yn glouach o ran staffio, o ran swyddfeydd yn y gogledd ac o ran staffio yng Nghaerdydd. Mae yna rywfaint o ddatblygiad wedi digwydd, ond dim cymaint â hynny. Beth yw'r problemau sydd wedi stopio hyn rhag symud mor glou?
English: But you've been in post for 13 years now, haven't you? So, it is difficult to comprehend how you've been able to carry out the job effectively for 13 years without the staffing that would be supporting you in that role - or without enough staff.
Welsh: Ond rŷch chi wedi bod yn eich swydd am 13 mlynedd nawr, onid ŷch chi? Felly, mae'n anodd deall sut eich bod chi wedi gallu cyflawni'r swydd yn effeithlon am 13 mlynedd heb staffio sydd yn eich cefnogi chi yn y gwaith hynny - digon o staff.
English: Okay. Just a final question about facilities for tribunals. I think that you talked about this previously - about the lack of capacity to have suitable facilities because the headquarters in Pontypridd had not been completed. What's the position now?
Welsh: Ocê. Jest cwestiwn olaf ynglŷn â chyfleusterau ar gyfer tribiwnlys. Dwi'n credu y gwnaethoch chi siarad am hyn y tro diwethaf - ynglŷn â'r diffyg gallu i gael cyfleusterau pwrpasol oherwydd doedd y pencadlys ym Mhontypridd ddim wedi cael ei gwblhau. Beth yw'r sefyllfa gyda hynny nawr?
English: Welcome everyone to the latest meeting of the Health, Social Care and Sport Committee here at the National Assembly for Wales. Under item 1 - introductions, apologies, substitutions and declarations of interest et cetera - can I welcome my fellow Members to the committee this morning, and also declare that we've received apologies from Helen Mary Jones, and Siân Gwenllian will be substituting on her behalf after 10.30 this morning? I can further explain that this meeting will be held bilingually. You can use the headphones to hear interpretation from Welsh to English on channel 1, or to hear contributions in the original language amplified on channel 2. If a fire alarm does sound - we're not expecting a drill this morning, so you should follow the instructions of ushers if a fire alarm does sound. I can further tell the witnesses that the microphones work automatically; you don't need to touch anything.
Welsh: Croeso i bawb i gyfarfod diweddaraf y Pwyllgor Iechyd, Gofal Cymdeithasol a Chwaraeon yma yn y Senedd. O dan eitem 1 - cyflwyniadau, ymddiheuriadau, dirprwyon a datgan buddiannau ac yn y blaen - allaf i groesawu fy nghyd-Aelodau i'r pwyllgor yma y bore yma, a hefyd datgan ein bod ni wedi derbyn ymddiheuriadau oddi wrth Helen Mary Jones, a bydd Siân Gwenllian yn dirprwyo ar ei rhan ar ôl 10.30 o'r gloch y bore yma? Gallaf i ymhellach esbonio bod y cyfarfod yma yn ddwyieithog. Gellir defnyddio clustffonau i glywed cyfieithu ar y pryd o'r Gymraeg i'r Saesneg ar sianel 1, neu i glywed cyfraniadau yn yr iaith wreiddiol yn well ar sianel 2. Os bydd yna larwm tân yn canu - dŷn ni ddim yn disgwyl ymarferiad y bore yma, felly dylid dilyn cyfarwyddiadau'r tywyswyr os bydd y larwm tân yn canu. Gallaf i ddweud wrth ein tystion bod y microffonau yn gweithio'n awtomatig; does dim angen cyffwrdd â dim byd.
