English: Good morning. May I start by saying that we have had a close relationship and close collaboration with the police forces and the commissioners in Wales over the past year, and the work that they've been doing is work that we would all acknowledge has been very important? I don't have a reason for believing that the vast majority of the penalty notices have been issued in the correct way, but there are important questions to be asked. I can't, unfortunately, give the direct answer that you're seeking in terms of the numbers and the prosecutions in the way that you asked the question. The main reason for that is that we don't have the data. I heard what the Lord Chancellor said with regard to the Ministry for Justice and the commitment to sharing data, and that, of course, is to be welcomed, but, to date, that hasn't led to a great deal of data sharing in the real world in a time frame that is useful. So, that hasn't happened on the ground, but I welcome the commitment to doing so. So, I would suggest that this is one of the examples where the Government in Wales is creating new offences and then doesn't have any control over how they are dealt with after that. What perhaps might be more useful for me to tell you is that, at the beginning of the pandemic, in the very early stage, when there was as attempt on the part of the police forces to - when the penalty notices were given and they weren't paid and then that moved on to prosecution, there was then a review - see which ones would be pursued, they withdrew almost 20 per cent of those following the review in Wales; the figure was around 40 per cent in England. So, that gives you some kind of picture of what took place. That was at the very early stage. Things have changed since then in terms of the police's understanding, and everyone's understanding indeed, of the offences.
Welsh: Bore da. Gaf i ddechrau drwy ddweud bod perthynas agos wedi bod - perthynas o gydweithio agos - gyda'r heddluoedd a'r comisiynwyr yng Nghymru dros y flwyddyn ddiwethaf, ac mae'r gwaith maen nhw wedi bod yn ei wneud yn waith y byddem ni i gyd yn cydnabod sydd yn waith pwysig iawn? Does gen i ddim rheswm dros gredu bod y mwyafrif llethol o'r hysbysiadau wedi'u rhoi mewn ffordd sydd yn gymwys i'r pwrpas, ond mae yma gwestiynau pwysig, buaswn i'n dweud. Allaf i ddim, yn anffodus, roi'r ateb syth rŷch chi'n ei ddymuno i'r pwyllgor ynglŷn â'r rhifau a'r erlyniadau yn y ffordd roeddech chi'n gofyn y cwestiwn, a'r rheswm pennaf am hynny yw nad yw'r data gennym ni. Fe glywais i beth roedd yr Arglwydd Ganghellor yn dweud ynglŷn â'r Weinyddiaeth Gyfiawnder a'r ymroddiad i rannu data, ac mae hynny, wrth gwrs, i'w groesawu, ond, hyd yn hyn, dyw hynny ddim wedi arwain at lawer o rannu data - hynny yw, yn y byd go iawn mewn ffrâm o amser sydd yn ddefnyddiol. Felly, dyw hynny ddim wedi digwydd ar lawr gwlad, ond, wrth gwrs, rydyn ni'n croesawu'r ymroddiad i wneud hynny. Felly, mae hwn, byddwn i'n awgrymu, yn un o'r enghreifftiau hynny lle mae'r Llywodraeth yng Nghymru yn creu troseddau newydd ac wedyn dim control dros y ffordd maen nhw'n cael eu delio â nhw wedi hynny. Rhywbeth sydd, gobeithio, yn fwy defnyddiol imi allu ei ddweud wrthych chi yw, ar ddechrau'r pandemig, yn y cyfnod cynnar iawn, pan oedd ymgais ar ran yr heddluoedd i geisio - pan oedd yr hysbysiadau yna wedi cael eu rhoi ond ddim wedi cael eu talu, a mynd o hynny i erlyn, roedd review ohonyn nhw, adolygiad ohonyn nhw - gweld pa rai y bydden nhw'n mynd yn eu blaenau â nhw, bron 20 y cant y gwnaethon nhw eu tynnu'n ôl, pan ddigwyddodd hynny yng Nghymru; roedd y ffigur yn rhyw 40 y cant yn Lloegr. Felly, mae hynny'n rhoi rhywfaint o ddarlun ichi, rwy'n credu. Roedd hynny ar y dechrau, yn gynnar. Mae pethau wedi newid ers hynny a dealltwriaeth yr heddlu a phawb o'r troseddau wedi cynyddu yn y cyfnod ers hynny.
