English: Thank you, Presiding Officer. Can I start by commending all involved in gathering support for this Bill and making it a better Bill? We've heard it's been a long process. I particularly want to mention the Secretary of State, Alun Cairns, Lord Bourne in the House of Lords, and the First Minister for, I think, his genuine statecraft to make a judgment that you will accept the whole because of the better bits in it, but still having some real reservations about aspects of the Bill. Can I also commend you, Presiding Officer, for the work you've done in terms of highlighting the need to look at our own electoral arrangements and matters that should really be resolved in Wales? I think this has produced a powerful body of support across traditions for this Bill. I'm sorry that consensus will not extend to Plaid Cymru and to UKIP, but I do want to put on record that the speech that we've just heard from the leader of Plaid Cymru was measured and nuanced, and I think more powerful for that. I'm prepared to take you at your word in terms of constitutional development and taking forward parts of what are likely now to happen in terms of an Act that will emerge, and ensure that the institution that we all have the privilege to be part of does strengthen. Likewise, with UKIP, they have, themselves, been on a journey, and they're now, I think, broadly supportive of devolution, and there is an argument that can be made - I don't agree with it, but there is an argument about the tax-raising powers requiring, in some people's views, a referendum. The First Minister said that this has been a long journey, and I think nine of us - or 10 of us, perhaps - have been here from the start. This is not the time to give an old uncle's speech. [Laughter.] You're not going to get that. But it is appropriate, I think, to look at the whole development in perspective. The First Minister was quite right: when we started, we didn't even have the separation of powers in this institution. We were a corporate body. That itself led to all sorts of convolutions. We had no responsibility for raising revenue and, really, only - which I think were important - secondary powers over secondary legislation. So, we didn't exactly start as robustly as they did in Scotland, or even in Northern Ireland. I think the progress we've made has really been based on a remarkable level of consensus. All parties, really, have been contributing to our constitutional development. Now, today, we are, inevitably, in this debate going to focus on some of the differences. But I do want to put on record the appreciation I have, as a Welsh Conservative, that we have been a part, when most of us actually opposed the principle of devolution back in the 1990s, but we have worked hard to produce a more robust settlement. The 2006 Government of Wales Act prepared the path for primary legislative powers, and owed much to the genius of a former Presiding Officer, Lord Dafydd Elis-Thomas. Of course, those powers, which we could get bit by bit with the consent of Westminster, were then turned completely on by the 2011 referendum. It was a very subtle way, I think, of advancing the constitutional settlement at the time and, of course, it did separate legislative and executive powers, which is the core, really, of the way we do politics in the Westminster model. I do want to say a word in favour of the St David's Day process because I do think it took the whole debate on. I realise that not everything has been delivered to the satisfaction of all who are even supporting the LCM this afternoon, but I do think it was a good way to work. Between the publication of the draft Bill and now the Bill that is going forward and likely to become an Act, there has been much movement. Again, I do commend all those who have worked to achieve that progress. Can I just say something about the Westminster model? It's really important. It's remarkable, I think, in many ways, that the even more radical devolution settlement in Scotland still takes the Westminster model. The way that Parliament is constituted is very much part of that tradition. I think it's a great resource, and it has given real life and endurance to politics in many parts of the world. It was always my disappointment, if devolution were going to happen, that we didn't have a more robust form of establishing an Assembly in accordance with a Westminster-type model. That's why I've always thought that primary law-making powers were necessary. I thought that from day one of being an Assembly Member, despite my initial opposition to devolution. It's also why I think we have to accept the responsibility to raise some of our own revenue. It does seem to me to go with the legislative function and, indeed, with the executive function. The Welsh Government has always been fairly powerful. I always thought it was odd that some Conservatives didn't quite see that: that we'd given power to Government, but not very much power to the scrutiny of that Government, or to the legislation it would require through which, of course, we get maximum level of control. So, I do think that the way that we are progressing, towards a fuller form of the Westminster model, is to be welcomed. There are areas where consensus was not possible. I think it is true what the First Minister said: that this has principally been caused by a desire on the part of the UK Government to preserve a single unified legal jurisdiction. But I would say here, despite my own private opinions, which I won't rehearse as they are pretty well known, that there is little evidence amongst the public that they want us to move forward in this area to form a separate jurisdiction. And both my party and, it has to be said, the Labour Party - if you look at the Labour Party both here and in Westminster - are themselves somewhat divided. We simply have not had a consensus to argue the case for a separate jurisdiction and, particularly, the devolution of policing powers and powers over sentencing policy and such matters. However, if you refer back to the report of the Constitutional and Legislative Affairs Committee on this subject of a separate or distinct legislation that was issued in the fourth Assembly, it is quite clear that what we do in making law creates a body of law and, at some point, the substance, the volume of that legislation, is going to be such that there probably will be a formal recognition. There's already a recognition in the administration of law, and you only need to talk to a senior judge about how dramatically their own procedures have changed to ensure that the judiciary understands the constitutional settlement in Wales and is able to interpret Welsh law properly. The direct consequence of not having a separate legal jurisdiction is that the number of reservations within a reserved-powers model has been much higher than would otherwise have occurred, and you only need to compare our settlement with the one in Scotland. And this, in my view, will require the two Governments - the Welsh Government and the UK Government - to work hard to ensure that the settlement we now do have does not restrict our ability to legislate over devolved areas, because that really would be a poor outcome. But I do believe the UK Government is sincere in not wanting to roll back powers, and I do, from all the heat and bluster we occasionally get, think there are pretty good relations between the Welsh and UK Governments on matters clearly in the Welsh interest, and I'm sure that will continue. Can I say that the Wales Bill is generous in places, in the view of all of us? And I was grateful that Leanne Wood mentioned some of the areas, as did the First Minister, in terms of the electoral arrangements, energy, transport and some other matters as well. I think these are a prize and they are worth having, because it puts much more of the constitutional settlement within our control. We could look at the issue of the franchise and whether it should be extended to 16 and 17-year-olds, we could determine the size of the Assembly and the electoral arrangements, subject, of course, to a supermajority. These are very, very important advances. To conclude, Presiding Officer, I think we can now move forward with a stronger devolution settlement, which will give the Assembly and the Welsh Government the scope to meet the political challenges ahead, and I urge Members to support the LCM.
Welsh: Diolch, Lywydd. A gaf i ddechrau drwy ganmol pawb a fu'n ymwneud ag ennyn cefnogaeth ar gyfer y Bil hwn a'i wneud yn Fil gwell? Rydym wedi clywed ei bod wedi bod yn broses hir. Rwy'n arbennig o awyddus i sôn am yr Ysgrifennydd Gwladol, Alun Cairns, yr Arglwydd Bourne yn Nhŷ'r Arglwyddi, a'r Prif Weinidog am, rwy'n credu, ei grefft llywodraeth wirioneddol i wneud dyfarniad y byddwch yn ei dderbyn yn ei gyfanrwydd oherwydd ei ddarnau gorau, ond yn dal i fod ag amheuon gwirioneddol ynghylch rhai agweddau ar y Bil. A gaf i hefyd eich canmol chi, Lywydd, am y gwaith yr ydych wedi'i wneud i dynnu sylw at yr angen i edrych ar ein trefniadau a'n materion etholiadol ein hunain a ddylai wir gael eu datrys yng Nghymru? Rwy'n credu bod hyn wedi creu corff pwerus o gefnogaeth ar draws traddodiadau i'r Bil hwn. Mae'n ddrwg gennyf na fydd y consensws yn ymestyn i Blaid Cymru ac i UKIP, ond hoffwn gofnodi bod yr araith yr ydym newydd ei chlywed gan arweinydd Plaid Cymru yn un bwyllog a manwl, ac, yn fy marn i, yn fwy pwerus oherwydd hynny. Rwy'n fodlon derbyn eich gair o ran datblygiad cyfansoddiadol a bwrw ymlaen â rhannau o'r hyn sy'n debygol yn awr o ddigwydd o ran Deddf a ddaw i'r amlwg, a sicrhau bod y sefydliad y mae gennym i gyd y fraint o fod yn rhan ohono yn cryfhau. Yn yr un modd, gydag UKIP, maent hwythau, eu hunain, wedi bod ar daith, ac maen nhw erbyn hyn, rwy'n credu, o blaid datganoli ar y cyfan, a gellir gwneud dadl - nid wyf yn cytuno â hi, ond mae dadl bod rhai pobl o'r farn bod angen refferendwm cyn inni gael y pwerau codi trethi. Dywedodd y Prif Weinidog fod hon wedi bod yn daith hir, ac rwy'n credu bod naw ohonom - neu 10 ohonom, efallai - wedi bod yma o'r dechrau. Nid dyma'r amser i roi araith hen ewythr. [Chwerthin.] Nid dyna yr ydych yn mynd i'w gael. Ond mae'n briodol, rwy'n meddwl, edrych ar y datblygiad cyfan mewn persbectif. Roedd y Prif Weinidog yn hollol iawn: pan ddechreuon ni, nid oedd gennym hyd yn oed bwerau wedi'u gwahanu yn y sefydliad hwn. Corff corfforaethol oeddem ni. Roedd hynny ynddo'i hun yn arwain at bob math o gymhlethdodau. Nid oedd gennym unrhyw gyfrifoldeb am godi refeniw ac, a dweud y gwir, dim ond - ac rwy'n meddwl bod hyn yn bwysig - pwerau eilaidd dros is-ddeddfwriaeth. Felly, ni wnaethom ddechrau yn union yr un mor gadarn ag y gwnaethant yn yr Alban, na hyd yn oed yng Ngogledd Iwerddon. Rwy'n credu bod y cynnydd yr ydym wedi ei wneud, a dweud y gwir, wedi bod yn seiliedig ar lefel rhyfeddol o gonsensws. Mae pob plaid, a dweud y gwir, wedi cyfrannu at ein datblygiad cyfansoddiadol. Nawr, heddiw, rydym, yn anochel, yn y ddadl hon yn mynd i ganolbwyntio ar rai o'r gwahaniaethau. Ond rwyf yn awyddus i gofnodi'r gwerthfawrogiad sydd gennyf, fel Ceidwadwr Cymreig, ein bod wedi bod yn rhan, pan oedd y rhan fwyaf ohonom a dweud y gwir yn gwrthwynebu egwyddor datganoli yn ôl yn yr 1990au, ond rydym wedi gweithio'n galed i greu setliad mwy cadarn. Roedd Deddf Llywodraeth Cymru 2006 yn paratoi'r llwybr at bwerau deddfu sylfaenol, ac roedd llawer o'r diolch am hynny i athrylith cyn Lywydd, yr Arglwydd Dafydd Elis-Thomas. Wrth gwrs, yna, cafodd y pwerau hynny, y gallem eu cael fesul tipyn gyda chydsyniad San Steffan, eu gwyrdroi yn gyfan gwbl ar ôl refferendwm 2011. Roedd yn ffordd gynnil iawn, rwy'n meddwl, o hyrwyddo'r setliad cyfansoddiadol ar y pryd ac, wrth gwrs, fe wnaeth wahanu pwerau deddfwriaethol a gweithredol, sef craidd, a dweud y gwir, y ffordd yr ydym yn gwneud gwleidyddiaeth yn y model San Steffan. Hoffwn ddweud gair o blaid proses Dydd Gŵyl Dewi gan fy mod yn credu ei bod wedi rhoi sylw i'r holl ddadl. Rwy'n sylweddoli nad yw popeth wedi cael ei gyflwyno er boddhad pawb, hyd yn oed y rhai sydd o blaid y cynnig cydsyniad deddfwriaethol y prynhawn yma, ond rwy'n credu ei bod yn ffordd dda o weithio. Rhwng cyhoeddi'r Bil drafft ac nawr y Bil sy'n mynd ymlaen ac yn debygol o ddod yn Ddeddf, bu llawer o symudiad. Unwaith eto, rwy'n canmol pawb sydd wedi gweithio i gyflawni'r cynnydd hwnnw. A gaf i ddweud rhywbeth am y model San Steffan? Mae'n bwysig iawn. Mae'n rhyfeddol, rwy'n credu, mewn llawer o ffyrdd, bod y setliad datganoli mwy radical byth yn yr Alban yn dal i ddefnyddio'r model San Steffan. Mae'r ffordd y mae'r Senedd honno wedi'i chyfansoddi yn sicr yn rhan o'r traddodiad hwnnw. Rwy'n credu ei fod yn adnodd gwych, ac mae wedi rhoi bywyd a dygnwch gwirioneddol i wleidyddiaeth mewn sawl rhan o'r byd. Fy siom erioed, pe byddai datganoli yn digwydd, oedd nad oedd gennym ffordd fwy cadarn o sefydlu Cynulliad yn unol â model o fath San Steffan. Dyna pam yr wyf wedi meddwl erioed bod angen pwerau deddfu sylfaenol. Roeddwn yn meddwl hynny ers fy niwrnod cyntaf o fod yn Aelod Cynulliad, er fy mod wedi gwrthwynebu datganoli i ddechrau. Dyna pam hefyd yr wyf yn credu bod yn rhaid inni dderbyn y cyfrifoldeb i godi rhywfaint o'n refeniw ein hunain. Mae'n ymddangos i mi ei fod yn mynd gyda'r swyddogaeth ddeddfwriaethol ac, yn wir, gyda'r swyddogaeth weithredol. Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi bod yn eithaf pwerus erioed. Roeddwn i bob amser yn meddwl ei bod yn rhyfedd nad oedd rhai Ceidwadwyr yn gweld hynny: ein bod wedi rhoi pŵer i'r Llywodraeth, ond heb roi llawer iawn o bŵer i graffu ar y Llywodraeth honno, nac ar y ddeddfwriaeth y byddai ei angen arni, wrth gwrs, i ni gael cymaint â phosibl o reolaeth. Felly, rwy'n credu y dylid croesawu'r trywydd yr ydym arno, tuag at ffurf lwyrach o fodel San Steffan. Mae meysydd lle nad oedd consensws yn bosibl. Rwy'n credu bod yr hyn a ddywedodd y Prif Weinidog yn wir: bod hyn wedi cael ei achosi yn bennaf gan awydd ar ran Llywodraeth y DU i gadw un awdurdodaeth gyfreithiol unedig. Ond byddwn yn dweud yma, er gwaethaf fy safbwyntiau preifat fy hun - nid wyf am eu hailadrodd oherwydd eu bod yn ddigon hysbys - nid oes llawer o dystiolaeth ymhlith y cyhoedd eu bod am inni symud ymlaen yn y maes hwn i ffurfio awdurdodaeth ar wahân. Ac mae fy mhlaid i ac, mae'n rhaid dweud, y Blaid Lafur - os ydych chi'n edrych ar y Blaid Lafur yma ac yn San Steffan - eu hunain wedi'u rhannu rywfaint. Yn syml, nid ydym wedi cael consensws i ddadlau'r achos o blaid awdurdodaeth ar wahân ac, yn arbennig, datganoli pwerau plismona a phwerau dros bolisi dedfrydu a materion o'r fath. Fodd bynnag, os edrychwch chi yn ôl ar adroddiad y Pwyllgor Materion Cyfansoddiadol a Deddfwriaethol ar y pwnc hwn o ddeddfwriaeth ar wahân neu wahanol a gyhoeddwyd yn y pedwerydd Cynulliad, mae'n ddigon amlwg bod yr hyn a wnawn wrth ddeddfu yn creu corff o gyfraith ac, ar ryw bwynt, bydd sylwedd, neu faint y ddeddfwriaeth honno, yn ddigon i olygu y bydd cydnabyddiaeth ffurfiol yn debygol. Mae cydnabyddiaeth eisoes yng ngweinyddiad y gyfraith, a does ond angen ichi siarad ag uwch farnwr am ba mor sylweddol y mae eu gweithdrefnau hwy eu hunain wedi newid i sicrhau bod y farnwriaeth yn deall y setliad cyfansoddiadol yng Nghymru ac yn gallu dehongli cyfraith Cymru yn briodol. Canlyniad uniongyrchol y ffaith nad oes gennym awdurdodaeth gyfreithiol ar wahân yw bod nifer y pwerau a gadwyd yn ôl o fewn model cadw pwerau wedi bod yn llawer uwch nag y byddai wedi bod fel arall, a does ond angen ichi gymharu ein setliad ni â'r un yn yr Alban. A bydd hyn, yn fy marn i, yn golygu bod angen i'r ddwy Lywodraeth - Llywodraeth Cymru a Llywodraeth y DU - weithio'n galed i sicrhau nad yw'r setliad sydd gennym nawr yn cyfyngu ar ein gallu i ddeddfu mewn meysydd datganoledig, oherwydd byddai hynny wir yn ganlyniad gwael. Ond rwyf yn credu bod Llywodraeth y DU yn ddiffuant o ran nad ydynt eisiau lleihau pwerau, ac rwyf i, o'r holl wres a chega a gawn o bryd i'w gilydd, yn credu bod perthynas eithaf da rhwng Llywodraeth Cymru a Llywodraeth y DU ar faterion sy'n amlwg er budd i Gymru, ac rwy'n siŵr y bydd hynny'n parhau. A gaf i ddweud bod Bil Cymru yn hael mewn mannau, ym marn pob un ohonom? Ac roeddwn yn ddiolchgar bod Leanne Wood wedi sôn am rai o'r meysydd, fel y gwnaeth y Prif Weinidog, o ran y trefniadau etholiadol, ynni, trafnidiaeth a rhai materion eraill hefyd. Rwy'n credu bod y rhain yn wobr a'u bod yn werth eu cael, oherwydd mae'n rhoi llawer mwy o'r setliad cyfansoddiadol o fewn ein rheolaeth. Gallem edrych ar fater y fasnachfraint a pha un a ddylid ei hymestyn i gynnwys pobl ifanc 16 a 17 mlwydd oed, gallem benderfynu ar faint y Cynulliad a'r trefniadau etholiadol, yn amodol, wrth gwrs, ar uwchfwyafrif. Mae'r rhain yn ddatblygiadau pwysig iawn, iawn. I gloi, Lywydd, rwy'n credu y gallwn nawr symud ymlaen â setliad datganoli cryfach, a fydd yn rhoi'r cyfle i'r Cynulliad a Llywodraeth Cymru ymdopi â'r heriau gwleidyddol a ddaw, ac rwy'n annog yr Aelodau i gefnogi'r cynnig cydsyniad deddfwriaethol.
