English: Thank you. You do raise an important constitutional point. And it's very interesting, in Gordon's Brown report, that he very specifically describes the United Kingdom as an association of nations, so in recognition of the make-up of that. That is certainly my belief, as to what the real position is, because, if you have a parliament that elects people, that has a mandate from an election, from the people, then sovereignty cannot be anything other than shared. The point, I think, that we would make is, of course, that we have a constitution that is outdated and is dysfunctional, and that is why, I think, we are having all these constitutional debates, because, as the interim report of the independent commission, who published their report today, has said, what exists at the moment is not working - the status quo is not working. That, in fact, is something that's been repeated consistently by the inter-parliamentary group, which I previously attended and, I think, the Chair of the Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee now attends. On the numerous occasions I was there, the statements were put out, and these were cross-party statements that, basically, the arrangements are not working and there is a need for substantial reform. I think there was a need for a very, very radical reform. I'm considering very carefully the independent commission's interim report, but I'm also considering very carefully other reports, other commentary that is being made, but including the report from Gordon Brown, which does set out a very, very radical critique of the current system, that says very clearly that the status quo does not work, and puts forward a series of principles and proposals in respect of radical reform, one of which is, in fact, the abolition of the House of Lords and the replacement of it. I think there is much in those principles that warrants very serious consideration, and I'm hoping to be able to make an oral statement to this Senedd in January, where we will have the opportunity to actually debate and consider, I think, substantively a lot of these important issues. It's not about the constitution, per se, but the constitution is how power is exercised. It is what affects the lives of people day in, day out. It's important to the quality of life of the people of Wales, and that's why it's important to us, and why we have the commission and why we are having these discussions.
Welsh: Diolch. Rydych chi'n codi pwynt cyfansoddiadol pwysig. Ac mae'n ddiddorol iawn, yn adroddiad Brown Gordon, ei fod yn disgrifio'r Deyrnas Unedig yn benodol iawn fel cymdeithas o genhedloedd, felly i gydnabod cyfansoddiad hynny. Yn sicr, dyna fy nghred i, o ran beth yw'r sefyllfa real, oherwydd, os oes gennych chi senedd sy'n ethol pobl, sydd â mandad o etholiad, gan y bobl, ni all sofraniaeth fod yn unrhyw beth heblaw wedi ei rhannu. Y pwynt y byddem yn ei wneud, rwy'n credu, yw bod gennym gyfansoddiad sydd wedi dyddio ac sy'n gamweithredol, a dyna pam y credaf ein bod yn cael yr holl ddadleuon cyfansoddiadol hyn, oherwydd, fel y mae adroddiad interim y comisiwn annibynnol, a gyhoeddodd eu hadroddiad heddiw, wedi dweud, nid yw'r hyn sy'n bodoli ar hyn o bryd yn gweithio - nid yw'r status quo yn gweithio. Mae hynny, mewn gwirionedd, yn rhywbeth sydd wedi cael ei ailadrodd yn gyson gan y grŵp rhyngseneddol, yr arferwn ei fynychu yn flaenorol, ac rwy'n credu bod Cadeirydd y Pwyllgor Deddfwriaeth, Cyfiawnder a'r Cyfansoddiad bellach yn ei fynychu. Ar yr achlysuron niferus roeddwn i yno, rhoddwyd y datganiadau allan, a'r rhain yn ddatganiadau trawsbleidiol, nad yw'r trefniadau'n gweithio yn y bôn, a bod angen diwygio sylweddol. Rwy'n credu bod angen diwygio radical tu hwnt. Rwy'n ystyried adroddiad interim y comisiwn annibynnol yn ofalus iawn, ond rwyf hefyd yn ystyried adroddiadau eraill yn ofalus iawn, ynghyd â sylwebaeth arall a wneir, ond gan gynnwys yr adroddiad gan Gordon Brown, sy'n nodi beirniadaeth radical iawn o'r system bresennol, sy'n dweud yn glir iawn nad yw'r status quo yn gweithio, ac sy'n cyflwyno cyfres o egwyddorion a chynigion mewn perthynas â diwygio radical, ac un ohonynt, mewn gwirionedd, yw diddymu Tŷ'r Arglwyddi a chael rhywbeth yn ei le. Rwy'n credu bod llawer yn yr egwyddorion hynny sy'n haeddu cael eu hystyried yn ddifrifol iawn, ac rwy'n gobeithio gallu gwneud datganiad ar lafar i'r Senedd hon ym mis Ionawr, pan gawn gyfle i drafod ac ystyried llawer o'r materion pwysig hyn yn fanwl. Nid yw'n ymwneud â'r cyfansoddiad fel y cyfryw, ond y cyfansoddiad yw'r modd y caiff pŵer ei arfer. Dyna sy'n effeithio ar fywydau pobl o ddydd i ddydd. Mae'n bwysig i ansawdd bywyd pobl Cymru, a dyna pam ei fod yn bwysig i ni, a pham fod gennym y comisiwn a pham ein bod yn cael y trafodaethau hyn.
