English: Thank you, everyone, for contributing to the debate on this group. Mark Isherwood, I think, made some constructive and practical comments. I think unfortunately Rhun and Julie have descended into party-political rhetoric. Their objections as stated to not being dictated to by the date of PCC elections are entirely bogus, because Rhun is saying that the decision on the date of the election has to be taken in Wales, in the Senedd, and Julie is saying something similar. She said that our elections shouldn't be subordinate to the PCC elections, and of course she's right, and I never suggested that they were in any way subordinate to the PCC elections. The whole reason why the PCC elections were delayed to 6 May was, surely, in part at least, because we were having an election here on 6 May and they would therefore correspond with our Senedd elections. The date of the elections on 6 May for the Senedd was already taken, and it was in no way subordinate to a decision on the PCC elections. So, I have to say their arguments seem somewhat bogus and somewhat tenuous. But anyway, I'll stop there, because obviously, everyone will have their opinions; the opinions were clearly expressed by everyone from the parties, and I thank them for their contributions. With your assistance, Llywydd, hopefully we will proceed to the vote on this group.
Welsh: Diolch, bawb, am gyfrannu at y ddadl ar y grŵp hwn. Credaf fod Mark Isherwood wedi gwneud sylwadau adeiladol ac ymarferol. Credaf yn anffodus fod Rhun a Julie wedi ildio i rethreg bleidiol. Mae eu gwrthwynebiadau fel y'u nodwyd i beidio â gadael i ddyddiad etholiadau comisiynwyr heddlu a throseddu lywio'u gweithredoedd yn gwbl ffug, oherwydd mae Rhun yn dweud bod yn rhaid gwneud y penderfyniad ar ddyddiad yr etholiad yng Nghymru, yn y Senedd, ac mae Julie yn dweud rhywbeth tebyg. Dywedodd na ddylai ein hetholiadau fod yn israddol i etholiadau comisiynwyr heddlu a throseddu, ac wrth gwrs mae hi'n iawn, ac ni awgrymais erioed eu bod mewn unrhyw ffordd yn israddol i etholiadau comisiynwyr heddlu a throseddu. Yr holl reswm pam y cafodd etholiadau comisiynwyr heddlu a throseddu eu gohirio tan 6 Mai, does bosibl, yn rhannol o leiaf, oedd oherwydd ein bod yn cael etholiad yma ar 6 Mai ac felly byddent yn cyd-fynd ag etholiadau ein Senedd. Roedd dyddiad yr etholiadau ar 6 Mai ar gyfer y Senedd eisoes wedi'i gymryd, ac nid oedd yn israddol mewn unrhyw fodd i benderfyniad ynglŷn ag etholiadau comisiynwyr heddlu a throseddu. Felly, rhaid imi ddweud bod eu dadleuon yn ymddangos braidd yn ffug a braidd yn denau. Ond beth bynnag, rwy'n gorffen yn y fan honno, oherwydd mae'n amlwg y bydd gan bawb eu barn; mynegwyd y safbwyntiau'n glir gan bawb o'r pleidiau, a diolch iddynt am eu cyfraniadau. Gyda'ch cymorth chi, Lywydd, gobeithio y gallwn symud ymlaen i'r bleidlais ar y grŵp hwn.
English: The question, then, is whether amendment 3 should be accepted. Is there an objection? [ Objection.] Yes, there is, so we will move to a vote on amendment 3. Before we do so, we need to take a break to prepare for this vote, as it's the first vote in this Stage 3 set of proceedings. So, we'll take a break.
Welsh: Y cwestiwn, felly, yw a ddylid derbyn gwelliant 3. A oes gwrthwynebiad? [ Gwrthwynebiad.] Oes, felly symudwn i bleidlais ar welliant 3. Cyn inni wneud hynny, mae angen inni gymryd seibiant i baratoi ar gyfer y bleidlais hon, gan mai dyma'r bleidlais gyntaf yn y gyfres hon o drafodion Cyfnod 3. Felly, fe gymerwn seibiant.
English: This is the vote on amendment 3 in the name of Gareth Bennett. Open the vote on amendment 3. Close the vote. In favour 14, no abstentions, 37 against, and therefore amendment 3 is not agreed.
Welsh: Dyma'r bleidlais, felly, ar welliant 3 yn enw Gareth Bennett. Agor y bleidlais ar welliant 3. Cau'r bleidlais. O blaid 14, neb yn ymatal, 37 yn erbyn, ac felly mae gwelliant 3 wedi'i wrthod.
English: The next group of amendments is group 3. This group relates to the last possible election day. Amendment 5 is the lead amendment in the group and I call Mark Isherwood to move that amendment and to speak to the other amendments in the group.
Welsh: Grŵp 3 yw'r grŵp nesaf o welliannau. Mae'r grŵp yma yn ymwneud â'r diwrnod olaf posib ar gyfer etholiad. Gwelliant 5 yw'r prif welliant yn y grŵp yma a dwi'n galw ar Mark Isherwood i gynnig y gwelliant yna ac i siarad i'r grŵp.
English: I commend the Member's tenacity in respect of reducing flexibility for the postponement of elections this year. In principle, as a Government, we agree that holding the election during the summer months is preferable to waiting for the autumn. But as I indicated at Stage 2, I believe that 5 November strikes the right balance between flexibility and certainty about when in 2021 postponed elections could be held. So, I cannot support the amendments in this group, which reduce the maximum period of postponement for an election within the scope of this Bill from 6 months to less than 4 months. Let us not forget that at the start of the pandemic the UK Government postponed elections for an entire year. Although the amendments avoid the difficulties with schools I highlighted yesterday, they do not overcome the timing issues around the summer holidays. I therefore urge Members to vote against the amendments in this group. Diolch.
Welsh: Rwy'n cymeradwyo dycnwch yr Aelod mewn perthynas â lleihau hyblygrwydd i ohirio etholiadau eleni. Mewn egwyddor, fel Llywodraeth, cytunwn fod cynnal yr etholiad yn ystod misoedd yr haf yn well nag aros tan yr hydref. Ond fel y nodais yng Nghyfnod 2, credaf fod 5 Tachwedd yn taro'r cydbwysedd cywir rhwng hyblygrwydd a sicrwydd ynglŷn â pha bryd y gellid cynnal etholiadau gohiriedig yn 2021. Felly, ni allaf gefnogi'r gwelliannau yn y grŵp hwn, sy'n lleihau'r cyfnod hiraf o ohiriad i etholiad o fewn cwmpas y Bil hwn o 6 mis i lai na 4 mis. Gadewch inni beidio ag anghofio bod Llywodraeth y DU, ar ddechrau'r pandemig, wedi gohirio etholiadau am flwyddyn gyfan. Er bod y gwelliannau'n osgoi'r anawsterau gydag ysgolion y tynnais sylw atynt ddoe, nid ydynt yn goresgyn y problemau amseru sy'n gysylltiedig â gwyliau'r haf. Felly, rwy'n annog yr Aelodau i bleidleisio yn erbyn y gwelliannau yn y grŵp hwn. Diolch.
English: I know the Minister believes that if there is to be a delayed election it would be preferably held in the summer months rather than in the winter, because she's also told me that consistently beforehand. It is intellectually unsustainable to then enable the possibility, or provide for the possibility, of having that very election in the winter. Our position is sustainable, our position stands, and notwithstanding the Minister's comments, although I fear the outcome of them, I urge Members to support our amendments.
Welsh: Rwy'n gwybod bod y Gweinidog yn credu, os caiff etholiad ei ohirio, y byddai'n well ei gynnal yn ystod misoedd yr haf yn hytrach nag yn y gaeaf, oherwydd mae hi hefyd wedi dweud hynny wrthyf yn gyson yn flaenorol. Mae'n anghynaliadwy yn ddeallusol felly i alluogi'r posibilrwydd, neu ddarparu ar gyfer y posibilrwydd, o gael yr union etholiad hwnnw yn y gaeaf. Mae ein safbwynt yn gynaliadwy, mae ein safbwynt yn sefyll, ac er gwaethaf sylwadau'r Gweinidog, er fy mod yn ofni eu canlyniad, rwy'n annog yr Aelodau i gefnogi ein gwelliannau.
English: The question, therefore, is that amendment 5 be agreed. Are there any objections? [ Objection. ] Yes, I see an objection. Therefore, we will take a vote on amendment 5. Open the vote. Close the vote. In favour 11, three abstentions, 37 against, and therefore the amendment is not agreed.
Welsh: Y cwestiwn, felly, yw: a ddylid derbyn gwelliant 5? A oes unrhyw wrthwynebiad? [ Gwrthwynebiad. ] Oes, dwi'n gweld gwrthwynebiad. Felly, cymerwn ni bleidlais ar welliant 5. Agor y bleidlais. Cau'r bleidlais. O blaid 11, tri yn ymatal, 37 yn erbyn, ac felly mae'r gwelliant wedi'i wrthod.
English: The question is that amendment 16 be agreed to. Are there any objections? I don't see any objections.
Welsh: Y cwestiwn yw: a ddylid derbyn gwelliant 16? A oes gwrthwynebiad? Dwi ddim yn gweld gwrthwynebiad.
English: Are you objecting, Mark Isherwood? Shall I take that as an objection?
Welsh: A ydych yn gwrthwynebu, Mark Isherwood? A gymeraf hynny fel gwrthwynebiad?
English: It is an objection. I thought you would unmute me, but object.
Welsh: Mae'n wrthwynebiad. Roeddwn yn meddwl y byddech yn agor fy meic, ond rwy'n gwrthwynebu.
English: No, that's fine. Thank you. I did notice some flag waving or something, or pen waving by you, so that's fine. So, it's objected and we'll call a vote, therefore, on gwelliant 16, amendment 16.
Welsh: Na, mae hynny'n iawn. Diolch. Fe wnes i sylwi ar ryw chwifio baner neu rywbeth, neu chwifio ysgrifbin gennych chi, felly mae hynny'n iawn. Felly, fe'i gwrthwynebir ac fe wnawn alw pleidlais, felly, ar welliant 16.
English: Open the vote. Close the vote. In favour 39, two abstentions, 10 against, and therefore the amendment is agreed.
Welsh: Agor y bleidlais. Cau'r bleidlais. O blaid 39, dau yn ymatal, 10 yn erbyn, ac felly mae'r gwelliant wedi cael ei gymeradwyo.
English: No.
Welsh: Nac ydyw.
English: Thank you. So, amendment 4 is not being moved to a vote.
Welsh: Diolch. Felly, nid yw gwelliant 4 yn cael ei symud i'r bleidlais.
English: The question is that amendment 6 be agreed. Does any Member object? [ Objection.] Yes. We'll therefore move to a vote on amendment 6. Open the vote.
Welsh: Y cwestiwn yw: a ddylid derbyn gwelliant 6? A oes unrhyw wrthwynebiad? [ Gwrthwynebiad.] Felly, wnawn ni symud i bleidlais ar welliant 6. Agor y bleidlais.
English: In favour 12, three abstentions, 37 against. Therefore, amendment 6 is not agreed.
Welsh: O blaid 12, ymatal tri, yn erbyn 37. Felly, mae gwelliant 6 wedi cael ei wrthod.
English: It is moved.
Welsh: Mae'n cael ei gynnig.
English: Is there any objection to amendment 7?
Welsh: Oes gwrthwynebiad i welliant 7?
English: Is there an objection to amendment 7? [ Objection.] Yes, there is. I can see one.
Welsh: A oes gwrthwynebiad i welliant 7? [ Gwrthwynebiad. ] Oes. Gallaf weld un.
English: Llywydd, I do apologise for interrupting you. I did vote when you were asking me whether my vote had registered. It had registered on my screen, but -
Welsh: Lywydd, rwy'n ymddiheuro am dorri ar eich traws. Fe bleidleisiais pan oeddech yn gofyn i mi a oedd fy mhleidlais wedi'i nodi. Roedd wedi'i nodi ar fy sgrin i, ond -
English: Don't worry - it finally registered on my screen also, so your vote was cast.
Welsh: Peidiwch â phoeni - fe gafodd ei nodi ar fy sgrin innau yn y diwedd hefyd, felly fe gafodd eich pleidlais ei bwrw.
English: Open the vote. Close the vote. In favour 47, four abstentions, one against. And therefore, amendment 7 is agreed.
Welsh: Agor y bleidlais. Cau'r bleidlais. O blaid 47, pedwar yn ymatal, un yn erbyn. Ac felly, mae gwelliant 7 wedi ei dderbyn.
English: Which brings us to the fourth group of amendments, and these amendments relate to additional polling days. The lead amendment and only amendment in the group is amendment 8, and I call on Mark Isherwood to move and speak to the amendment. Mark Isherwood.
Welsh: Sy'n dod â ni at grŵp 4, ac mae'r grŵp 4 yma yn ymwneud â gwelliannau sydd yn ymwneud â diwrnodau ychwanegol ar gyfer pleidleisio. Gwelliant 8 yw'r prif welliant, yr unig welliant yn y grŵp, a dwi'n galw ar Mark Isherwood i gyflwyno'r gwelliant yma. Mark Isherwood.
English: Diolch, Llywydd. As I explained yesterday, the Government's intention is that early voting should be available if, and only if, the Senedd election is postponed from 6 May and is not then combined on a new date with the police and crime commissioner elections. We cannot support the amendment in this group as it would remove the power we need to give effect to that intention. As the Member has himself repeatedly reminded us, elections have been held around the world during this pandemic. This has been the case in Canada and New Zealand, for example, and in both those countries, early voting in person is commonplace. I am perplexed by the Member's continued efforts to remove the ability to vote early and thus potentially disenfranchise many who may not feel comfortable or even be able to attend on polling day. All the evidence on voter fraud in the UK suggests that it is both rare and almost entirely focused on local government elections in a handful of local authority areas, all of which are in England. I would therefore ask the Member to withdraw an amendment that could easily be seen as a deliberate attempt to make it more difficult for those who are vulnerable or worried about the pandemic to vote. Diolch, Llywydd.
Welsh: Diolch, Lywydd. Fel yr eglurais ddoe, bwriad y Llywodraeth yw y dylai pleidleisio cynnar fod ar gael os, a dim ond os, caiff etholiad y Senedd ei ohirio wedi 6 Mai ac na chaiff ei gyfuno wedyn ar ddyddiad newydd gydag etholiadau'r comisiynwyr heddlu a throseddu. Ni allwn gefnogi'r gwelliant yn y grŵp hwn gan y byddai'n dileu'r pŵer sydd ei angen arnom i roi grym i'r bwriad hwnnw. Fel y mae'r Aelod ei hun wedi ein hatgoffa dro ar ôl tro, cynhaliwyd etholiadau ym mhob rhan o'r byd yn ystod y pandemig hwn. Mae hyn wedi digwydd yng Nghanada a Seland Newydd, er enghraifft, ac yn y ddwy wlad, mae pleidleisio cynnar yn bersonol yn gyffredin. Testun dryswch i mi yw ymdrechion parhaus yr Aelod i ddileu'r gallu i bleidleisio'n gynnar a'r perygl felly o ddifreinio llawer nad ydynt efallai'n teimlo'n gyfforddus neu nad ydynt hyd yn oed yn gallu bod yn bresennol ar ddiwrnod yr etholiad. Mae'r holl dystiolaeth ynglŷn â thwyll pleidleiswyr yn y DU yn awgrymu ei fod yn brin ac yn ymwneud bron yn gyfan gwbl ag etholiadau llywodraeth leol mewn llond llaw o ardaloedd awdurdodau lleol, gyda phob un ohonynt yn Lloegr. Felly, hoffwn ofyn i'r Aelod dynnu gwelliant yn ôl y gellid ei ystyried yn hawdd fel ymgais fwriadol i wneud pleidleisio'n anos i'r rheini sy'n agored i niwed neu'n poeni am y pandemig. Diolch, Lywydd.
English: The question, therefore, is that amendment 8 be agreed. Does any Member object? [ Objection.] Yes, we will therefore move to a vote on amendment 8. Open the vote.
Welsh: Y cwestiwn, felly, yw: a ddylid derbyn gwelliant 8? A oes unrhyw wrthwynebiad? [ Gwrthwynebiad.] Oes, felly, fe wnawn ni symud i bleidlais ar welliant 8. Agor y bleidlais.
English: Do I not respond?
Welsh: Onid wyf yn ymateb?
English: Oh, yes, you do, Mark Isherwood. I'm very sorry. Please respond.
Welsh: O, ydych, Mark Isherwood. Mae'n ddrwg iawn gennyf. Ymatebwch os gwelwch yn dda.
English: Don't worry, you've had a very long two days, after all.
Welsh: Peidiwch â phoeni, rydych wedi cael dau ddiwrnod hir iawn, wedi'r cyfan.
English: Thank you for your sympathy.
Welsh: Diolch i chi am eich cydymdeimlad.
English: I'm perplexed by the Minister's position, which I believe would actually diminish the democratic rights of the full electorate. There are alternative ways to vote, which are also addressed under parts of this Bill, and which pre-exist this Bill. To introduce this new precedent at this point would not achieve the goals identified by the Minister, and we believe, to the contrary, could actually run counter to them. Therefore, I will not be withdrawing this amendment.
Welsh: Mae safbwynt y Gweinidog yn peri dryswch i mi, a chredaf y byddai'n lleihau hawliau democrataidd yr holl etholwyr. Mae ffyrdd eraill o bleidleisio, a chânt hwythau hefyd sylw o dan rannau o'r Bil hwn, neu ddarpariaeth sy'n bodoli cyn y Bil hwn. Ni fyddai cyflwyno'r cynsail newydd hwn ar hyn o bryd yn cyflawni'r nodau a nodwyd gan y Gweinidog, a chredwn, i'r gwrthwyneb, y gallai fynd yn groes iddynt mewn gwirionedd. Felly, ni fyddaf yn tynnu'r gwelliant hwn yn ôl.
English: The question, therefore, is that amendment 8 be agreed. Does any Member object? [ Objection.] Yes, there is an objection and we will therefore move to a vote on amendment 8. Open the vote. Close the vote. In favour 14, one abstention and 37 against. Therefore, amendment 8 is not agreed.
Welsh: Y cwestiwn, felly, yw: a ddylid derbyn gwelliant 8? A oes unrhyw wrthwynebiad? [ Gwrthwynebiad.] Oes, mae yna wrthwynebiad ac felly symudwn ni i'r bleidlais ar welliant 8. Agor y bleidlais. Cau'r bleidlais. O blaid 14, un yn ymatal ac mae 37 yn erbyn. Felly, mae gwelliant 8 wedi'i wrthod.
English: Amendment 9 -
Welsh: Gwelliant 9 -
English: It's moved.
Welsh: Cynigiwyd.
English: The question is that amendment 9 be agreed. Does any Member object? [ Objection.] Yes. We will therefore move to a vote on amendment 9. Open the vote. Close the vote. In favour 11, four abstentions and 37 against. Therefore, amendment 9 is not agreed.
Welsh: Y cwestiwn yw: a ddylid derbyn gwelliant 9? A oes gwrthwynebiad? [ Gwrthwynebiad.] Oes, ac felly, cawn ni bleidlais ar welliant 9. Agor y bleidlais. Cau'r bleidlais. O blaid 11, pedwar yn ymatal a 37 yn erbyn. Felly, mae gwelliant 9 wedi'i wrthod.
English: Formally move.
Welsh: Dwi'n symud yn ffurfiol.
English: Thank you. The question is that amendment 17 be agreed. Does any Member object? I don't see any objection, therefore, amendment 17 is agreed.
Welsh: Diolch. Y cwestiwn yw: a ddylid derbyn gwelliant 17? A oes gwrthwynebiad? Dwi ddim yn gweld gwrthwynebiad i hynny, ac felly, mae gwelliant 17 wedi'i dderbyn.
English: The question is that amendment 10 be agreed. Does any Member object? [ Objection.] Yes, I see an objection. We will therefore move to a vote on amendment 10. Open the vote. Close the vote. In favour 11, four abstentions and 37 against. Therefore, amendment 10 is not agreed.
Welsh: Y cwestiwn yw: a ddylid derbyn gwelliant 10? A oes gwrthwynebiad? [ Gwrthwynebiad.] Oes, dwi'n gweld gwrthwynebiad. Felly, cawn ni bleidlais ar welliant 10. Agor y bleidlais. Cau'r bleidlais. O blaid 11, pedwar yn ymatal ac mae 37 yn erbyn. Felly, mae gwelliant 10 wedi'i wrthod.
English: The question is that amendment 11 be agreed. Does any Member object? [ Objection.] Yes, there is an objection. We will therefore move to a vote on amendment 11. Open the vote. Close the vote. In favour 11, four abstentions and 37 against. Therefore, amendment 11 is not agreed.
Welsh: Y cwestiwn yw: a ddylid derbyn gwelliant 11? A oes gwrthwynebiad? [ Gwrthwynebiad.] Oes, mae gwrthwynebiad. Felly, pleidlais ar welliant 11. Agor y bleidlais. Cau'r bleidlais. O blaid 11, pedwar yn ymatal a 37 yn erbyn. Mae gwelliant 11 wedi'i wrthod.
English: Thank you. The question is that amendment 12 be agreed. Does any Member object? [ Objection.] Yes, there are objections. We will therefore move to a vote on amendment 12. Open the vote. Close the vote. In favour 11, four abstentions and 37 against. Therefore, amendment 12 is not agreed.
Welsh: Diolch. Y cwestiwn yw: a ddylid derbyn gwelliant 12? A oes unrhyw wrthwynebiad? [ Gwrthwynebiad.] Oes, mae gwrthwynebiad. Agor y bleidlais ar welliant 12. Cau'r bleidlais. O blaid 11, pedwar yn ymatal a 37 yn erbyn. Felly, mae gwelliant 12 wedi'i wrthod.
English: Is there any objection to amendment 13? [ Objection.] There is. We will therefore move to a vote on amendment 13. Open the vote. Close the vote. In favour 11, four abstentions and 37 against. Therefore, amendment 13 is not agreed.
Welsh: Oes gwrthwynebiad i welliant 13? [ Gwrthwynebiad.] Oes, felly cymrwn ni bleidlais ar welliant 13. Agor y bleidlais. Cau'r bleidlais. O blaid 11, pedwar yn ymatal a 37 yn erbyn. Felly mae gwelliant 13 wedi'i wrthod.
English: That brings us to group 5. These relate to orders and rules on the conduct of elections to be held in 2021. Amendment 1 is the lead amendment, and I call on the Minister to speak to the lead amendment and to the other amendments in the group - Julie James.
Welsh: Mae hynny'n dod â ni at grŵp 5 o welliannau. Mae'r grŵp yma'n ymwneud â gorchmynion a rheolau ynglŷn â chynnal etholiadau yn 2021. Gwelliant 1 yw'r prif welliant yn y grŵp yma, a dwi'n galw ar y Gweinidog i wneud y cynnig ar y prif welliant ac i siarad i'r grŵp - Julie James.
English: Apologies, Llywydd, but I didn't have anything to say on this group. We are opposing these amendments. I didn't want to actually speak at this stage, but thank you.
Welsh: Ymddiheuriadau, Lywydd, ond nid oedd gennyf ddim i'w ddweud am y grŵp hwn. Rydym yn gwrthwynebu'r gwelliannau hyn. Nid oeddwn eisiau siarad ar y cam hwn, ond diolch.
English: Okay. Okay, that's fine. The Minister to respond, if there is a response. No. Okay.
Welsh: O'r gorau. Iawn, mae hynny'n iawn. Y Gweinidog i ymateb, os oes ymateb. Na. O'r gorau.
English: The question is that amendment 1 be agreed. Does any Member object? [ Objection. ] There is, and therefore we will move to a vote on amendment 1. Open the vote. Close the vote. In favour 47, one abstention, four against, therefore amendment 1 is agreed.
Welsh: Y cwestiwn yw: a ddylid derbyn gwelliant 1, felly? A oes gwrthwynebiad i welliant 1? [ Gwrthwynebiad. ] Oes, mae gwrthwynebiad i welliant 1. Felly, gwnawn ni gynnal pleidlais ar welliant 1. Agor y bleidlais. Cau'r bleidlais. O blaid 47, un yn ymatal, pedwar yn erbyn, felly mae gwelliant 1 wedi'i dderbyn.
English: Is amendment 2 being moved?
Welsh: A yw gwelliant 2 yn cael ei gynnig?
English: The question is that amendment 2 be agreed. Does any Member object? [ Objection. ] There is. We will therefore move to a vote on amendment 2. Open the vote. Close the vote. In favour 48, one abstention, three against, therefore amendment 2 is agreed.
Welsh: Y cwestiwn yw: a ddylid derbyn gwelliant 2? A oes gwrthwynebiad? [ Gwrthwynebiad. ] Oes. Felly, cawn ni bleidlais ar welliant 2. Agor y bleidlais. Cau'r bleidlais. O blaid 48, un yn ymatal, tri yn erbyn, felly mae gwelliant 2 wedi'i dderbyn.
English: Group 6 is our next group, and it relates to proxy voting. The lead amendment is amendment 14, and the only amendment in the group. I call on Mark Isherwood to move and speak to the amendment.
Welsh: Grŵp 6 yw'r grŵp nesaf, a'r grŵp yma yn ymwneud â phleidleisio drwy ddirprwy. Gwelliant 14 yw'r prif welliant, a'r unig welliant yn y grŵp. Dwi'n galw ar Mark Isherwood i gyflwyno'r gwelliant.
English: Diolch. I move amendment 14, tabled in my name. As currently drafted, this Bill gives licence to absolutely anyone to have a proxy vote for almost any reason, setting a dangerous precedent and one that could be open to abuse. Our amendment 14 would therefore require an applicant's polling day proxy voting application to be accompanied by an NHS coronavirus isolation note. This will, of course, be in addition to eligibility under current normal circumstances. Our amendment therefore represents a prudent and practical compromise that reflects the sole stated reason for this Bill - the current COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. I urge Members to support it accordingly.
Welsh: Diolch. Rwy'n cynnig gwelliant 14, a gyflwynwyd yn fy enw i. Fel y mae wedi'i ddrafftio ar hyn o bryd, mae'r Bil hwn yn rhoi trwydded i unrhyw un gael pleidlais drwy ddirprwy am bron unrhyw reswm, gan osod cynsail peryglus ac un a allai fod yn agored i gamdriniaeth. Felly, byddai gwelliant 14 yn ei gwneud yn ofynnol i'r sawl sy'n gwneud cais gynnwys nodyn hunanynysu coronafeirws y GIG gyda'i gais am bleidlais drwy ddirprwy ar y diwrnod pleidleisio. Bydd hyn, wrth gwrs, yn ychwanegol at gymhwysedd o dan yr amgylchiadau arferol presennol. Felly, mae ein gwelliant yn gyfaddawd doeth ac ymarferol sy'n adlewyrchu'r unig reswm a nodwyd dros y Bil hwn - y pandemig coronafeirws COVID-19 presennol. Rwy'n annog yr Aelodau i'w gefnogi yn unol â hynny.
