English: Diolch, Llywydd. Members will be aware that these two sets of regulations amend paragraph 7 (5) of Schedule 17 to the Coronavirus Act 2020, to add a number of existing legal provisions in both primary and secondary education-related legislation to the list of statutory provisions that can be disapplied by the Welsh Ministers for a specified period by notice because of the ongoing COVID-19 public health emergency. Our reports on these regulations are provided with the agenda for today's Plenary. With regard to the first set of regulations, which I'll refer to as the curriculum requirements regulations for ease, these have been in force since 23 June 2020. Our report highlighted that no formal consultation took place ahead of the regulations being made, nor was a regulatory impact assessment completed. I also wish to draw Members' attention to the Disapplication of Curriculum Requirements in Wales Notice 2020, which was issued by the Minister for Education on 23 June 2020 to accompany the curriculum requirements regulations. The notice is a form of subordinate legislation, but one that does not have to be laid before the Senedd. Nonetheless, our committee is attempting to monitor these other forms of subordinate legislation that are being made, and as such we have also reported on the notice under Standing Order 21.7. The notice disapplies various provisions contained in primary and secondary legislation relating to the curriculum in Wales. As highlighted in our report, there is a discrepancy regarding the period during which the notice applies. The dates in the notice itself differ from the dates provided in the Minister for Education's written statement that accompanied the notice's publication. But we have written to the Minister on this matter, and maybe the Minister could address this matter in her closing remarks if possible. Turning to the second set of regulations being debated today, which I'll call the maintained schools regulations, these came into force on 25 June. At this point, I'd like to highlight an important constitutional matter. These regulations came to force before they were laid before the Senedd. Now, this is permissible, but it is unusual. Turning to the specific matters raised in our report on the maintained schools regulations, we have again highlighted that no formal consultation took place ahead of the regulations being made, nor was a regulatory impact assessment completed. We also make, in our report, five technical reporting points that relate to the drafting of the regulations. We received a Welsh Government response to these points on Monday, for which I'm grateful, and I do acknowledge the Government's view on each matter that was raised. Diolch, Llywydd.
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd. Bydd yr Aelodau'n ymwybodol bod y ddwy set hyn o reoliadau yn diwygio paragraff 7 (5) o Atodlen 17 i Ddeddf Coronafeirws 2020, i ychwanegu nifer o ddarpariaethau cyfreithiol presennol mewn deddfwriaeth sy'n ymwneud ag addysg gynradd ac addysg uwchradd at y rhestr o ddarpariaethau statudol y gall Gweinidogion Cymru eu datgymhwyso am gyfnod penodol drwy hysbysiad oherwydd argyfwng iechyd cyhoeddus parhaus COVID-19. Cafodd ein hadroddiadau ar y rheoliadau hyn eu darparu gyda'r agenda ar gyfer Cyfarfod Llawn heddiw. O ran y set gyntaf o reoliadau, y cyfeiriaf atynt, er hwylustod, fel rheoliadau gofynion y cwricwlwm, mae'r rhain wedi bod mewn grym ers 23 Mehefin 2020. Nododd ein hadroddiad nad oedd unrhyw ymgynghoriad ffurfiol wedi digwydd cyn cyflwyno'r rheoliadau, ac nad oedd asesiad effaith rheoleiddiol wedi'i gwblhau chwaith. Hoffwn i hefyd dynnu sylw'r Aelodau at Hysbysiad Datgymhwyso Gofynion y Cwricwlwm yng Nghymru 2020, a gafodd ei gyhoeddi gan y Gweinidog Addysg ar 23 Mehefin 2020 i gyd-fynd â rheoliadau gofynion y cwricwlwm. Mae'r hysbysiad yn fath o is-ddeddfwriaeth, ond yn un nad oes yn rhaid ei gosod gerbron y Senedd. Er hynny, mae ein Pwyllgor ni'n ceisio monitro'r mathau eraill hyn o is-ddeddfwriaeth sy'n cael eu gwneud, ac felly rydym hefyd wedi cyflwyno adroddiad ar yr hysbysiad o dan Reol Sefydlog 21.7. Mae'r hysbysiad yn datgymhwyso darpariaethau amrywiol a gynhwysir mewn deddfwriaeth sylfaenol ac is-ddeddfwriaeth sy'n ymwneud â'r cwricwlwm yng Nghymru. Fel yr amlygir yn ein hadroddiad ni, mae anghysondeb o ran y cyfnod y mae'r hysbysiad yn berthnasol iddo. Mae'r dyddiadau yn yr hysbysiad ei hun yn wahanol i'r dyddiadau a oedd wedi'u darparu yn natganiad ysgrifenedig y Gweinidog Addysg a oedd yn cyd-fynd â chyhoeddi'r hysbysiad. Ond rydym wedi ysgrifennu at y Gweinidog ar y mater hwn, ac efallai y gallai'r Gweinidog roi sylw i'r mater hwn yn ei sylwadau cloi os oes modd. Gan droi at yr ail set o reoliadau sy'n cael eu trafod heddiw, y byddaf i'n eu galw'n rheoliadau ysgolion a gynhelir, daeth y rhain i rym ar 25 Mehefin. Ar y pwynt hwn, hoffwn i dynnu sylw at fater cyfansoddiadol pwysig. Daeth y Rheoliadau hyn i rym cyn eu gosod gerbron y Senedd. Nawr, caniateir hyn, ond mae'n anarferol. Gan droi at y materion penodol a godwyd yn ein hadroddiad ar reoliadau ysgolion a gynhelir, rydym ni unwaith eto wedi tynnu sylw at y ffaith na chynhaliwyd unrhyw ymgynghoriad ffurfiol cyn gwneud y rheoliadau, ac na chwblhawyd asesiad effaith rheoleiddiol chwaith. Yn ein hadroddiad, rydym hefyd yn gwneud pum pwynt adrodd technegol sy'n ymwneud â drafftio'r rheoliadau. Cawsom ymateb gan Lywodraeth Cymru i'r pwyntiau hyn ddydd Llun, ac rwy'n ddiolchgar am hynny, ac rwy'n cydnabod barn y Llywodraeth ar bob mater a godwyd. Diolch, Llywydd.
