English: Dirprwy Lywydd, I'm perfectly happy to look at that issue. As I said, the reason we didn't accept the recommendation is we didn't think the RIA was the best place to do that. It's not to say that we wouldn't be willing to look at other ways in which that issue could be pursued. Dirprwy Lywydd, if you'd allow me, I'll just end by just setting out for Members some of the ways in which we plan to take these recommendations further forward. Officials are revising the RIA guidance as a result of the committee's report and will be amending it accordingly. I know that they have already been discussing the report with policy teams working on current legislative proposals. My officials will also be looking at the quality assurance processes currently employed by policy departments and the way in which the costs of legislation are recorded and monitored to see where the process can be improved. I intend to write to my Cabinet colleagues to ensure that they are fully aware of the issues raised in the report as they take forward pieces of legislation for which they are responsible. I will also be writing to the First Minister to ask that the recommendations in the report are considered in the state of readiness discussion held before each Bill is laid and in a committee that the First Minister himself chairs. I hope, Dirprwy Lywydd, Members will see that the Government has wanted to respond very positively to the report, thinks that it has made a very useful contribution to thinking on this issue, and that we will be looking for practical ways in which we can take advantage of the advice that it has provided.
Welsh: Ddirprwy Lywydd, rwy'n fwy na pharod i edrych ar y mater. Fel y dywedais, y rheswm na dderbyniwyd yr argymhelliad gennym oedd nad oeddem yn credu mai'r asesiad effaith rheoleiddiol oedd y lle gorau i wneud hynny. Nid yw'n dweud na fyddem yn barod i edrych ar ffyrdd eraill y gellid mynd ar drywydd y mater. Ddirprwy Lywydd, os caniatewch i mi, fe ddof i ben drwy nodi ar gyfer yr Aelodau rai o'r ffyrdd y bwriadwn fwrw ymlaen ymhellach â'r argymhellion hyn. Mae swyddogion yn adolygu'r canllawiau ar asesiadau effaith rheoleiddiol o ganlyniad i adroddiad y pwyllgor a byddant yn eu diwygio yn unol â hynny. Gwn eu bod eisoes wedi bod yn trafod yr adroddiad gyda thimau polisi'n gweithio ar gynigion deddfwriaethol presennol. Bydd fy swyddogion yn edrych hefyd ar y prosesau sicrwydd ansawdd a ddilynir ar hyn o bryd gan adrannau polisi a'r ffordd y caiff costau deddfwriaeth eu cofnodi a'u monitro i weld lle y gellir gwella'r broses. Bwriadaf ysgrifennu at fy nghyd-Aelodau yn y Cabinet i sicrhau eu bod yn llwyr ymwybodol o'r materion a godwyd yn yr adroddiad wrth iddynt fwrw ymlaen â deddfwriaeth y maent yn gyfrifol amdani. Byddaf hefyd yn ysgrifennu at y Prif Weinidog i ofyn am sicrwydd y bydd argymhellion yr adroddiad yn cael eu hystyried yn y drafodaeth ar barodrwydd a gynhelir cyn i bob Bil gael ei osod ac mewn pwyllgor a gadeirir gan y Prif Weinidog ei hun. Ddirprwy Lywydd, rwy'n gobeithio y bydd yr Aelodau'n gweld bod y Llywodraeth eisiau ymateb yn gadarnhaol iawn i'r adroddiad, yn credu ei fod wedi gwneud cyfraniad defnyddiol iawn i'r ystyriaethau ar y mater hwn, ac y byddwn yn edrych am ffyrdd ymarferol o fanteisio ar y cyngor y mae wedi ei ddarparu.
