English: Well, thank you for that series of comments and questions, Janet, and I'm very pleased that you were able to get such a lot of detail from the technical briefing that we offered you. Actually, that's a good opportunity to show how valuable it was to other Members who might want to take part in it as well. Deputy Presiding Officer, I don't plan to go through the list of technical issues that Janet raised there, because I don't think this is the place to do that. They're all very interesting. There are a number of issues that arise from the consultation, and the whole purpose of the consultation is to get to the bottom of what people feel the best outcome would be. So, I'd be very grateful, Janet, for you and others to put your responses in. You made a number of issues. The capacity issue is an interesting one, though, because, obviously, local authorities have had 10 years of Tory-imposed austerity, and so they have had to strip back a large number of services. However, we've been working very hard with local government, particularly over the last year during their excellent COVID response, and they've developed a whole series of ability to share staff and mutual aid and, of course, in the Local Government and Elections (Wales) Bill, we've put a regional arrangement in place that allows them to employ staff regionally where staff are scarce, and it allows a different career path to develop. So, we are working very hard on the capacity issues. But, obviously, those should not stand in the way of us putting an excellent regime in place. I'm delighted to hear you say that any Government after the election - that included your party - would want to take this Bill forward. I would very much like to hear that of every party in the Senedd, because we need to send a firm message to the building industry that this is coming and that they should step up to their duty to actually implement it now rather than us have the situation where they get planning consent that go on into the future, and we're actively pursuing the ability to impose the regulations the minute they're passed by the Senedd and not have to wait until planning permissions go forward and so on. So, we'll be taking up that point in particular. But I won't go through the technical answers to all of the questions that you asked, Deputy Presiding Officer, but I would ask Members who have that level of detailed remarks to make to write them in to us as soon as possible so we can take them into account in the consultation.
Welsh: Wel, diolch am y gyfres yna o sylwadau a chwestiynau, Janet, ac rwy'n falch iawn eich bod wedi gallu cael cymaint o fanylion o'r briff technegol a gynigiwyd gennym ni i chi. Mewn gwirionedd, mae hynny'n gyfle da i ddangos pa mor werthfawr ydoedd i Aelodau eraill a allai fod eisiau cymryd rhan ynddo hefyd. Dirprwy Lywydd, nid wyf yn bwriadu mynd drwy'r rhestr o faterion technegol a gododd Janet yn y fan yna, oherwydd nid wyf yn credu mai dyma'r lle i wneud hynny. Maen nhw i gyd yn ddiddorol iawn. Mae nifer o faterion yn codi o'r ymgynghoriad, a holl ddiben yr ymgynghoriad yw mynd at wraidd yr hyn y mae pobl yn ei ystyried fyddai'r canlyniad gorau. Felly, byddwn yn ddiolchgar iawn, Janet, pe baech chi ac eraill yn cyflwyno eich ymatebion. Fe wnaethoch chi grybwyll nifer o faterion. Mae'r mater o gapasiti'n un diddorol, serch hynny, oherwydd, yn amlwg, mae awdurdodau lleol wedi cael 10 mlynedd o gyni a orfodwyd gan y Torïaid, ac felly maen nhw wedi gorfod cwtogi ar nifer fawr o wasanaethau. Fodd bynnag, rydym ni wedi bod yn gweithio'n galed iawn gyda llywodraeth leol, yn enwedig dros y flwyddyn ddiwethaf yn ystod eu hymateb rhagorol i COVID, ac maen nhw wedi datblygu galluoedd amrywiol iawn er mwyn ei gwneud hi'n bosib rhannu staff a chyd-gymorth ac, wrth gwrs, ym Mil Llywodraeth Leol ac Etholiadau (Cymru), rydym ni wedi rhoi trefniant rhanbarthol ar waith sy'n eu galluogi i gyflogi staff yn rhanbarthol pan fo staff yn brin, ac mae'n caniatáu i lwybr gyrfa gwahanol ddatblygu. Felly, rydym yn gweithio'n galed iawn ar faterion capasiti. Ond, yn amlwg, ni ddylai'r rheini ein rhwystro rhag rhoi trefn ragorol ar waith. Rwy'n falch iawn o'ch clywed yn dweud y byddai unrhyw Lywodraeth ar ôl yr etholiad - a oedd yn cynnwys eich plaid eich hun - eisiau datblygu'r Bil hwn. Hoffwn yn fawr glywed hynny gan bob plaid yn y Senedd, oherwydd mae angen inni anfon neges gadarn i'r diwydiant adeiladu bod hyn ar ei ffordd ac y dylen nhw gymryd eu dyletswydd o ddifrif i weithredu nawr yn hytrach nag ein bod yn cael ein hunain yn y sefyllfa lle maen nhw'n cael caniatâd cynllunio sy'n mynd ymlaen ac ymlaen i'r dyfodol, ac rydym wrthi'n ceisio'r gallu i gyflwyno'r rheoliadau yr eiliad y cânt eu pasio gan y Senedd heb orfod aros tan fydd y broses caniatâd cynllunio yn mynd yn ei blaen ac ati. Felly, byddwn yn gweithredu ar yr agwedd yna yn benodol. Ond nid af drwy'r atebion technegol i'r holl gwestiynau a ofynnwyd gennych chi, Dirprwy Lywydd, ond byddwn i'n gofyn i Aelodau sydd â sylwadau manwl fel yna i'w gwneud, i'w hanfon atom ni yn ysgrifenedig cyn gynted â phosib fel y gallwn ni eu hystyried yn yr ymgynghoriad.
