English: Diolch, Llywydd. On behalf of the Welsh Conservative Senedd group, I send my heartfelt sympathy to the family, friends and colleagues of Sir David Amess. The terrible news of his death has been met with shock, anger and sadness by so many across the United Kingdom. It's clear that Sir David was well respected and well liked across the political divide. Tributes and messages from so many people and from politicians from all parties have been made, which just goes to show the calibre of the man we have lost. Sir David diligently represented the people of Southend West and, prior to that, Basildon for almost 40 years, and in that time helped support thousands of people and champion so many important causes. Many of you will be aware of his passion for animal welfare. As a patron of the Conservative Animal Welfare Foundation, he supported campaigns such as the ban on fox hunting, animal testing and puppy farming among other issues. However, perhaps the cause he was best known for was giving his beloved home town of Southend city status, which I understand Her Majesty The Queen has now approved. Indeed, he was clearly a committed constituency MP, who worked hard to represent and support his constituents, making it all the more cruel that he was taken away from us whilst performing his constituency duties. But above all, he was a much-loved husband and father to his wife and children, and a friend and colleague to so many. Following Sir David's tragic passing, the Speaker of the House of Commons, Sir Lindsay Hoyle, has called for an end to the hate that drives attacks against politicians. He is right to say that if anything positive is to come out of this latest awful tragedy, it is that the quality of political discourse has to change, the conversation has to be kinder and based on respect. Politicians, activists and the media, we all have a role to play in advocating healthy debate and discussion, based on ideas and respect. And yet, too often, inciteful language is used, aggressive and hateful comments are posted online, and media articles and narratives demonise public figures and humiliate them. We must step up and promote a way of working that is built on respect for each other as human beings. We must call out hate when we see it and commit to detoxifying our political landscape. The attack on Sir David was an attack on our democracy, and so, Llywydd, the greatest tribute that we can all give to Sir David is to continue with our duties and represent our constituents to the best of our abilities. But for now, though, our thoughts are with Sir David's family and all who knew him and loved him. May he rest in peace. Diolch.
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd. Ar ran grŵp Senedd y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig, rwy'n anfon fy nghydymdeimlad o'r galon at deulu, ffrindiau a chydweithwyr Syr David Amess. Mae'r newyddion ofnadwy am ei farwolaeth wedi arwain at sioc, dicter a thristwch ymhlith cynifer ar draws y Deyrnas Unedig. Mae'n amlwg bod Syr David yn uchel ei barch a bod pobl ar draws y rhaniad gwleidyddol yn hoff iawn ohono. Mae teyrngedau a negeseuon gan gymaint o bobl a gan wleidyddion o bob plaid wedi eu gwneud, sy'n dangos safon y dyn yr ydym ni wedi ei golli. Cynrychiolodd Syr David bobl Southend West a, chyn hynny, Basildon yn ddiwyd am bron i 40 mlynedd, ac yn y cyfnod hwnnw helpodd i gynorthwyo miloedd o bobl a hyrwyddo cynifer o achosion pwysig. Bydd llawer ohonoch yn ymwybodol o'i angerdd at les anifeiliaid. Fel noddwr Sefydliad Lles Anifeiliaid y Ceidwadwyr, cefnogodd ymgyrchoedd fel y gwaharddiad ar hela llwynogod, profi ar anifeiliaid a ffermio cŵn bach ymysg materion eraill. Fodd bynnag, efallai mai'r achos yr oedd yn fwyaf adnabyddus amdano oedd ennill statws dinas i Southend, ei dref gartref annwyl, yr wyf i ar ddeall bod Ei Mawrhydi y Frenhines wedi ei gymeradwyo erbyn hyn. Yn wir, roedd yn amlwg yn AS etholaethol ymroddedig, a weithiodd yn galed i gynrychioli a chynorthwyo ei etholwyr, sy'n gwneud y cyfan yn fwy creulon byth iddo gael ei gymryd oddi arnom ni wrth gyflawni ei ddyletswyddau etholaethol. Ond yn anad dim, roedd yn ŵr a thad annwyl iawn i'w wraig a'i blant, ac yn ffrind a chydweithiwr i gynifer. Yn dilyn marwolaeth drasig Syr David, mae Llefarydd Tŷ'r Cyffredin, Syr Lindsay Hoyle, wedi galw am roi terfyn ar y casineb sy'n ysgogi ymosodiadau yn erbyn gwleidyddion. Mae'n iawn i ddweud os oes unrhyw beth cadarnhaol i fod o ganlyniad i'r drasiedi ofnadwy ddiweddaraf hon, yr angen i newid ansawdd y drafodaeth wleidyddol yw hynny. Mae'n rhaid i'r sgwrs fod yn fwy caredig ac wedi ei seilio ar barch. Gwleidyddion, ymgyrchwyr a'r cyfryngau, mae gan bob un ohonom ni ran i'w chwarae o ran hyrwyddo dadl a thrafodaeth iach, yn seiliedig ar syniadau a pharch. Ac eto, yn rhy aml, defnyddir iaith ymfflamychol, caiff sylwadau ymosodol ac atgas eu postio ar-lein, ac mae erthyglau a naratifau'r cyfryngau yn demoneiddio ffigyrau cyhoeddus ac yn eu bychanu. Mae'n rhaid i ni gamu ymlaen a hyrwyddo ffordd o weithio sydd wedi ei seilio ar barch at ein gilydd fel bodau dynol. Mae'n rhaid i ni dynnu sylw at gasineb pan fyddwn ni'n ei weld ac ymrwymo i ddadwenwyno ein tirwedd wleidyddol. Roedd yr ymosodiad ar Syr David yn ymosodiad ar ein democratiaeth, ac felly, Llywydd, y deyrnged fwyaf y gallwn ni i gyd ei rhoi i Syr David yw parhau â'n dyletswyddau a chynrychioli ein hetholwyr hyd eithaf ein gallu. Ond am y tro, serch hynny, mae ein meddyliau gyda theulu Syr David a phawb a oedd yn ei adnabod ac yn ei garu. Boed iddo orffwys mewn hedd. Diolch.
