English: I thank the Llywydd for that answer, and I commend the innovation, which I think it's fair to say we've had throughout the period of Welsh devolution, and certainly in this fifth Senedd. And I do urge that we build on this success, because we all want, as we've heard in previous answers, active citizenship. And it seems to me that, as well as watching our proceedings, there are more opportunities by virtual means to allow citizens to take part to some extent in a manner that is not, perhaps, as intimidating as turning up and giving evidence in front, formally, of a committee, for instance. And there's a lot we've done, but in the sixth Senedd, there's probably a lot more we could do, and I would commend whoever is in charge then to look at this very carefully.
Welsh: Diolch i'r Llywydd am yr ateb hwnnw, ac rwy'n cymeradwyo'r arloesedd a welsom, rwy'n credu ei bod yn deg dweud, drwy gydol y cyfnod datganoli yng Nghymru, ac yn sicr yn ystod y pumed Senedd hon. Ac rwy'n gobeithio y byddwn yn adeiladu ar y llwyddiant hwn, oherwydd mae pob un ohonom eisiau dinasyddiaeth weithredol, fel y clywsom mewn atebion blaenorol. Ac mae'n ymddangos i mi, yn ogystal â gwylio ein trafodion, fod mwy o gyfleoedd drwy ddulliau rhithwir i ganiatáu i ddinasyddion gymryd rhan, i ryw raddau, mewn modd nad yw, efallai, mor fygythiol â rhoi tystiolaeth o flaen pwyllgor yn ffurfiol er enghraifft. Ac mae llawer rydym wedi'i wneud, ond yn y chweched Senedd, mae'n debyg bod llawer mwy y gallem ei wneud, a byddwn yn annog pwy bynnag a fydd wrth y llyw bryd hynny i edrych ar hyn yn ofalus iawn.
English: Well, most definitely, I think that the experience of the last six months, both in terms of how we've undertaken our sessions here as a Chamber, Senedd proceedings, but most importantly in the work of our committees, has enabled the use of a virtual setting to enable a wider, more diverse array, a more geographically dispersed array, of witnesses and evidence sessions, and has possibly broken down some of those both physical and other kind of barriers that people have to giving evidence or taking part in our committee proceedings. So I very much hope, and in my discussions with the Chairs' Forum, we've all been very aware of the very many positive experiences that we've had in a more virtual setting over the past six months, and we must not lose sight of those as we think about how we construct the business for the next Senedd.
Welsh: Wel, yn bendant iawn, rwy'n credu bod profiad y chwe mis diwethaf, o ran sut rydym wedi cynnal ein sesiynau yma fel Siambr, trafodion y Senedd, ond yn bwysicaf oll yng ngwaith ein pwyllgorau, a'n defnydd o'r dull rhithwir o weithredu wedi galluogi ystod ehangach, mwy amrywiol, a mwy gwasgaredig yn ddaearyddol, o dystion a sesiynau tystiolaeth, ac mae'n bosibl ei fod wedi chwalu rhai o'r rhwystrau ffisegol a mathau eraill o rwystrau sy'n atal pobl rhag rhoi tystiolaeth neu gymryd rhan yn nhrafodion ein pwyllgorau. Felly rwy'n gobeithio'n fawr, ac yn fy nhrafodaethau gyda'r Fforwm Cadeiryddion, rydym i gyd wedi bod yn ymwybodol iawn o'r profiadau cadarnhaol niferus iawn a gawsom drwy ddefnyddio dull mwy rhithwir o weithredu dros y chwe mis diwethaf, ac mae'n rhaid i ni beidio â cholli golwg ar y rheini wrth i ni feddwl sut rydym yn llunio busnes ar gyfer y Senedd nesaf.
English: Thank you. The Welsh Youth Parliament has had a busy autumn, as Members near the end of their term of office. The Commission supported Welsh Youth Parliament Members to produce and publish two reports based on the work of their committees. One looked at emotional and mental health support, and the other at litter and plastic waste. The final meeting of the Welsh Youth Parliament was held on 14 November, and I chaired that session. And it also included contributions from Welsh Government Ministers, Senedd committee Chairs and the commissioners for future generations and young people. In addition to that, Members of the Youth Parliament have been supported to hold scrutiny sessions with a range of Ministers, including the First Minister and the health Minister to share their experiences of coronavirus during the summer. And more recently, some Members held a session with the Minister for Education to share their views, and the views of other young people, prior to the Minister's announcement on exams. And there will be a further session where some youth parliamentarians will meet with the First Minister next Monday evening. I know that the Welsh Youth Parliament will continue for a few months yet, but I'd like to pay tribute to the hard work of the young Members and to thank parents, schools, partner organisations and our own staff for helping to bring the three strands of their work to a successful conclusion.
Welsh: Diolch. Mae Senedd Ieuenctid Cymru wedi cael hydref prysur, wrth i Aelodau nesáu at ddiwedd eu tymor yn y swydd. Cefnogodd y Comisiwn Aelodau o'r Senedd Ieuenctid i gynhyrchu a chyhoeddi dau adroddiad yn seiliedig ar waith eu pwyllgorau. Roedd un yn edrych ar gymorth iechyd emosiynol a meddwl a'r llall ar wastraff sbwriel a phlastig. Roedd cyfarfod olaf y Senedd Ieuenctid ar 14 Tachwedd, a fi gadeiriodd y sesiwn hynny. Roedd hefyd yn cynnwys cyfraniadau gan Weinidogion Llywodraeth Cymru, Cadeiryddion pwyllgorau'r Senedd a chomisiynwyr cenedlaethau'r dyfodol a phobl ifanc. Yn ychwanegol at hynny, mae Aelodau o'r Senedd ieuenctid wedi cael cefnogaeth i gynnal sesiynau craffu gydag ystod o Weinidogion, gan gynnwys y Prif Weinidog a'r Gweinidog iechyd i rannu eu profiad o'r coronafeirws yn ystod yr haf. Ac yn fwy diweddar, cynhaliodd rhai Aelodau sesiwn gyda'r Gweinidog Addysg i rannu eu barn, a barn pobl ifanc eraill, cyn cyhoeddiad y Gweinidog ar arholiadau. Ac fe fydd yna sesiwn bellach gyda rhai o'r seneddwyr ieuenctid yn cwrdd â'r Prif Weinidog nos Lun nesaf. Rwy'n gwybod y bydd y Senedd Ieuenctid yn parhau am ychydig fisoedd eto, ond hoffwn dalu teyrnged i waith caled yr Aelodau ifanc hynny ac i ddiolch am waith rhieni, ysgolion, sefydliadau partner a'n staff ni ein hunain wrth helpu i ddod â thri llinyn eu gwaith i gasgliad llwyddiannus.
English: Thank you so much for that answer. I think we must all be very proud of the young people and what they've achieved in these very difficult circumstances, and I think we'd all want to thank the staff very much who've been able to enable them to continue their work in exactly the same way, of course, that the staff of the Senedd have enabled us to continue our work. I have had some concerns, though, about the emotional well-being of the young Members. Their experience of being young Members of the Senedd won't have been what they expected. So can you confirm, Llywydd, that members of staff here have been in touch with those professionals - youth workers and others - supporting those young people just to make sure that they're okay? And further to that, as you said, the first term has come to an end, it's been incredibly productive, they've done a huge amount of work and I'm sure we'd all like to thank them. Can you tell us a bit more about what steps are in place to prepare for the next elections for our next young parliamentarians? That may potentially be done, of course, in a challenging time where schools and youth groups have got an awful lot on their plate that they wouldn't normally be having to deal with. So, I'm hoping that there is thought and planning going into how we can ensure that our next Youth Parliament is as effective as this one has been.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr am yr ateb hwnnw. Rwy'n credu bod yn rhaid i ni i gyd fod yn falch iawn o'r bobl ifanc a'r hyn y maent wedi'i gyflawni yn yr amgylchiadau anodd hyn, ac rwy'n credu y byddem i gyd eisiau diolch yn fawr iawn i'r staff sydd wedi eu galluogi i barhau â'u gwaith yn yr un ffordd, wrth gwrs, ag y mae staff y Senedd wedi ein galluogi i barhau â'n gwaith ninnau. Rwyf wedi bod yn bryderus, er hynny, am lesiant emosiynol yr Aelodau ifanc. Ni fydd eu profiad o fod yn Aelodau ifanc o'r Senedd fel roeddent wedi'i ddisgwyl. Felly, a allwch chi gadarnhau, Lywydd, fod aelodau o staff yma wedi bod mewn cysylltiad â'r gweithwyr proffesiynol - gweithwyr ieuenctid ac eraill - sy'n cefnogi'r bobl ifanc i wneud yn siŵr eu bod yn iawn? Yn ogystal â hynny, fel y dywedoch chi, mae'r tymor cyntaf wedi dod i ben, mae wedi bod yn hynod gynhyrchiol, maent wedi gwneud llawer iawn o waith ac rwy'n siŵr yr hoffem i gyd ddiolch iddynt. A allwch chi ddweud ychydig mwy wrthym am y camau sydd ar waith i baratoi ar gyfer yr etholiadau nesaf ar gyfer ein seneddwyr ifanc nesaf? Mae'n bosibl y bydd hynny'n cael ei wneud, wrth gwrs, mewn cyfnod heriol lle mae gan ysgolion a grwpiau ieuenctid lawer o gyfrifoldebau na fyddent fel arfer yn gorfod ymdopi â hwy. Felly, rwy'n gobeithio bod ystyriaeth a chynllunio'n digwydd mewn perthynas â'r ffordd y gallwn sicrhau bod ein Senedd Ieuenctid nesaf mor effeithiol ag y mae hon wedi bod.
English: And the final question of this session is question 6, Alun Davies.
Welsh: A chwestiwn olaf y sesiwn hon yw cwestiwn 6, Alun Davies.
English: The Senedd Commission has no such plans at the moment. Unless provision is made to the contrary, section 3 of the Government of Wales Act 2006 prescribes that ordinary general elections of the Senedd must be held on the first Thursday in May, five years following the last Senedd elections. As such, the next Senedd election is due in May 2021.
Welsh: Does dim cynlluniau o'r fath gan Gomisiwn y Senedd i newid hyn ar hyn o bryd. Heblaw bod darpariaeth yn cael ei gwneud i'r gwrthwyneb, mae adran 3 o Ddeddf Llywodraeth Cymru 2006 yn rhagnodi bod yn rhaid cynnal etholiadau cyffredinol arferol i'r Senedd ar y dydd Iau cyntaf ym mis Mai, bum mlynedd yn dilyn yr etholiadau diwethaf i'r Senedd. O ganlyniad, dylid cynnal yr etholiad nesaf i'r Senedd ym mis Mai 2021.
English: I'm grateful to the Presiding Officer for that answer. I think she will agree with me that we need more democracy and not less democracy in Wales, and the root of the change to our electoral cycle, of course, lies in the Fixed-term Parliaments Act 2011, and that dreadful piece of legislation has now been on the statute book for a decade. In that decade, of course, we've had three UK general elections, which renders it utterly meaningless, and the one part of the Conservative manifesto that I welcomed last year was its commitment to repeal the Fixed-term Parliaments Act. That removes, of course, the justification for changing our electoral cycles, and it removes the need to do so. Many of us here feel that this place has sat for too long. We need an election here, and we need an electoral cycle that provides for regular elections every four years, as was envisaged by the framers of the Welsh constitution. It is important, therefore, that those people seeking election next May understand that that Parliament should only sit for four and not five years. I would be grateful if a commission would work with Members on all sides of the Chamber - I can see particularly noisy support from the Conservative benches, which I welcome by the way - and ensure that we're able to frame legislation to ensure that we return to a four-year cycle for this Parliament, for all Welsh elections, as soon as the Fixed-term Parliaments Act is rightly thrown in the bin of history.
Welsh: Rwy'n ddiolchgar i'r Llywydd am yr ateb hwnnw. Credaf y bydd yn cytuno â mi ein bod angen mwy o ddemocratiaeth ac nid llai o ddemocratiaeth yng Nghymru, ac mae gwraidd y newid i'n cylch etholiadol, wrth gwrs, yn Neddf Seneddau Tymor Penodol 2011, ac mae'r ddeddfwriaeth ofnadwy honno wedi bod ar y llyfr statud ers degawd bellach. Yn y degawd hwnnw, wrth gwrs, rydym wedi cael tri etholiad cyffredinol yn y DU, sy'n ei gwneud yn gwbl ddiystyr, a'r unig ran o faniffesto'r Ceidwadwyr roeddwn yn ei groesawu y llynedd oedd ei ymrwymiad i ddiddymu'r Ddeddf Seneddau Tymor Penodol. Mae hynny'n dileu'r cyfiawnhad dros newid ein cylchoedd etholiadol wrth gwrs, ac mae'n dileu'r angen i wneud hynny. Mae llawer ohonom yma'n teimlo bod y lle hwn wedi eistedd yn rhy hir. Rydym angen etholiad yma, ac rydym angen cylch etholiadol sy'n darparu ar gyfer etholiadau rheolaidd bob pedair blynedd, fel y rhagwelwyd gan y rhai a luniodd gyfansoddiad Cymru. Mae'n bwysig, felly, fod y bobl sy'n sefyll etholiad l fis Mai nesaf yn deall mai am bedair blynedd yn unig ac nid pum mlynedd y dylai'r Senedd honno eistedd. Byddwn yn ddiolchgar pe bai comisiwn yn gweithio gydag Aelodau ar bob ochr i'r Siambrau - gallaf weld cefnogaeth arbennig o swnllyd oddi ar feinciau'r Ceidwadwyr, ac rwy'n croesawu hynny gyda llaw - a sicrhau ein bod yn gallu llunio deddfwriaeth i sicrhau ein bod yn dychwelyd at gylch pedair blynedd ar gyfer y Senedd hon, ar gyfer holl etholiadau Cymru, cyn gynted ag y caiff y Ddeddf Seneddau Tymor Penodol ei lluchio, yn briodol iawn, i fin hanes.
English: Thank you for the supplementary question. I think we can all breathe a sigh of relief that this Senedd wasn't a four-year term, otherwise we would have had to plan an election for May of 2020, and I'm not sure whether we would have been able to do that at that time, or it would have diverted our energies at that time from something else that was equally as important, if not more important, to do. In terms of going forward, as I said in my response, it requires legislative change to change to a four-year-period term. I hear this afternoon, and I've seen many references made by Members to the fact that some would prefer a four-year term rather than a five-year term, and I've heard you, Alun Davies, say it before. Equally, I'm open to that idea, certainly, myself. But, it will be for the political process within this Senedd and within the next Senedd to undertake that piece of legislation if seen necessary. I look forward, then, to reading the manifestos of all political parties to see if any are putting it in their manifestos for Government and for the Senedd election next May.
Welsh: Diolch am y cwestiwn atodol. Rwy'n credu y gallwn i gyd anadlu ochenaid o ryddhad nad oedd y Senedd hon yn eistedd am dymor pedair blynedd, neu fel arall byddem wedi gorfod cynllunio etholiad ar gyfer mis Mai 2020, ac nid wyf yn siŵr y byddem wedi gallu gwneud hynny ar y pryd, neu fe fyddai wedi dargyfeirio ein hegni y pryd hwnnw oddi wrth rywbeth arall a oedd yr un mor bwysig os nad yn bwysicach. O ran y dyfodol, fel y dywedais yn fy ymateb, mae angen newid deddfwriaethol i newid i dymor pedair blynedd. Clywaf y prynhawn yma, ac rwyf wedi gweld llawer o gyfeiriadau gan Aelodau at y ffaith y byddai'n well gan rai gael tymor pedair blynedd yn hytrach na thymor pum mlynedd, ac rwyf wedi eich clywed chi, Alun Davies, yn ei ddweud o'r blaen. Yn yr un ffordd, rwy'n agored i'r syniad hwnnw, yn bersonol yn sicr. Ond mater i'r broses wleidyddol yn y Senedd hon ac yn y Senedd nesaf fydd ymgymryd â'r ddeddfwriaeth honno os gwelir bod angen. Edrychaf ymlaen, felly, at ddarllen maniffestos pob plaid wleidyddol i weld a oes rhai ohonynt yn ei roi yn eu maniffestos ar gyfer Llywodraeth ac ar gyfer etholiad y Senedd fis Mai nesaf.
English: Item 4 was topical questions, and no topical questions have been accepted.
Welsh: Cwestiynau amserol oedd eitem 4, ac nid oes unrhyw gwestiynau amserol wedi'u derbyn.
English: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. November 2020 marks the centenary of the birth of Elaine Morgan. Elaine, born into a mining family, achieved the truly remarkable during a long, varied and glittering career. She won a scholarship to Oxford University, a phenomenal achievement for a miner's daughter in the 1930s. After graduation, Elaine worked for the WEA, and then married Morien, who had fought against the fascists in Spain. Three sons were raised from the family home in Mountain Ash, as Elaine embarked on a career as a writer for the BBC. She wrote acclaimed adaptations of - amongst others - How Green was my Valley, The Life and Times of Lloyd George, and Testament of Youth. For the latter, she won a Writer of the Year award, to go with numerous BAFTAs, Writers' Guild Awards, and even the odd international trophy. Elaine also developed and promoted the revolutionary aquatic ape theory, publishing many books on the subject and winning prizes for her contribution to scientific knowledge. In her 80s, Elaine took on a new challenge as an award-winning columnist for the Western Mail. Elaine died in 2013. Seven years on, there is a new biography of Elaine, recently written by local historian Dr Daryl Leeworthy, and plans to erect a statue in her honour in Mountain Ash, in the heart of the Valleys whose communities she captured so vividly. As journalist Carolyn Hitt observed, Elaine changed the world from her desk in Mountain Ash.
Welsh: Diolch, Ddirprwy Lywydd. Tachwedd 2020 yw canmlwyddiant geni Elaine Morgan. Cyflawnodd Elaine, a aned i deulu glofaol, ryfeddodau yn ystod gyrfa hir, amrywiol a disglair. Enillodd ysgoloriaeth i Brifysgol Rhydychen, llwyddiant aruthrol i ferch glöwr yn y 1930au. Ar ôl graddio, gweithiodd Elaine i Gymdeithas Addysg y Gweithwyr, ac yna priododd â Morien, a oedd wedi ymladd yn erbyn y ffasgwyr yn Sbaen. Cafodd tri mab eu magu yng nghartref y teulu yn Aberpennar, wrth i Elaine gychwyn ar yrfa fel awdur i'r BBC. Ysgrifennodd addasiadau clodwiw o How Green was my Valley, The Life and Times of Lloyd George, a Testament of Youth ymhlith pethau eraill. Enillodd wobr Awdur y Flwyddyn am yr olaf, i fynd gyda sawl BAFTA, sawl Gwobr Urdd Awduron Prydain Fawr, ac ambell dlws rhyngwladol hyd yn oed. Hefyd, datblygodd a hyrwyddodd Elaine y ddamcaniaeth chwyldroadol ynghylch epa'r dŵr, gan gyhoeddi llawer o lyfrau ar y pwnc ac ennill gwobrau am ei chyfraniad at wybodaeth wyddonol. Yn ei 80au, ymgymerodd Elaine â her newydd fel colofnydd arobryn i'r Western Mail. Bu farw Elaine yn 2013. Saith mlynedd yn ddiweddarach, ceir bywgraffiad newydd o Elaine, a ysgrifennwyd yn ddiweddar gan yr hanesydd lleol Dr Daryl Leeworthy, a bwriad i godi cerflun i'w hanrhydeddu yn Aberpennar, yng nghanol y Cymoedd a'r cymunedau y llwyddodd i'w disgrifio mor fyw. Fel y nododd y newyddiadurwr Carolyn Hitt, newidiodd Elaine y byd o'i desg yn Aberpennar.
English: Jan Morris led an extraordinary life - an explorer who opened windows onto other worlds with her writing, a pioneer who traversed new terrain and opened doors of possibility. So many of us will be familiar with her evocative books about Venice and Trieste, but it is her magnificent work The Matter of Wales that led readers to discover the hidden treasures of our own nation, her despairs and defiances. Writing when this Senedd was first founded, Jan invites us to capture a glimpse of this country on the brink of her new fulfilment, with place and people joined together.
Welsh: Cafodd Jan Morris fywyd eithriadol, yn chwilota ac agor ffenestri ar fydoedd eraill gyda'i hysgrifennu, yn arloesi a chroesi tiroedd newydd ac agor drysau ar bosibiliadau. Bydd cynifer ohonom yn gyfarwydd â'i llyfrau atgofus am Fenis a Trieste, ond ei gwaith gwych The Matter of Wales a arweiniodd ddarllenwyr i ddarganfod trysorau cudd ein gwlad ein hunain, ei hanobaith a'i herfeiddiwch. Gan ysgrifennu pan sefydlwyd y Senedd hon am y tro cyntaf, mae Jan yn ein gwahodd i fwrw cipolwg ar y wlad hon ar drothwy ei chyflawniad newydd, gyda lle a phobl yn dod at ei gilydd.
English: Wales was a community for Jan - a community brought together by tragedy and by hope. In an article written in 2011 to mourn the lives lost in the Gleision colliery, she said that her eyes were full of tears, as she extended her love from one end of Wales to the other - from Llanystumdwy near the Dwyfor river to unknown friends who were mourning in the Swansea valley. That mourning for Jan Morris is felt across Wales - this incredible woman, who broke the news to the world that Edmund Hillary had reached Everest base camp. Now, in the words of her son Twm, she has started her greatest journey. May you rest in peace, Jan, from one end of Wales to the other - from base camp to the top of the mountain.
Welsh: Cymuned oedd Cymru i Jan - cymuned a unwyd gan drasiedi a gobaith. Mewn erthygl a ysgrifennwyd yn 2011 i alarnadu dros y bywydau a gollwyd yng nglofa'r Gleision, dywedodd bod ei llygaid yn llawn dagrau wrth iddi estyn ei chariad o un pen o Gymru i'r llall - o Lanystumdwy ger afon Dwyfor i gyfeillion dieithr a oedd yn galaru yng nghwm Tawe. Teimlir y galar am golled Jan Morris ar draws Cymru - y fenyw anhygoel hon wnaeth dorri'r newyddion i'r byd bod Edmund Hillary wedi cyrraedd gwersyll cychwyn Everest. Nawr, yng ngeiriau ei mab Twm, mae hi wedi cychwyn ar ei siwrnai fwyaf. Hedd, perffaith hedd i chi, Jan, o un pen o Gymru i'r llall - o'r gwersyll cychwyn i gopa'r mynydd.
English: Thank you. We'll now suspend proceedings to allow changeovers in the Chamber. If you're leaving the Chamber, please do so promptly. The bell will be rung two minutes before we restart our proceedings. Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch. Rydym yn atal y trafodion nawr i ganiatáu newidiadau yn y Siambr. Os ydych yn gadael y Siambr, gwnewch hynny'n gyflym. Bydd y gloch yn cael ei chanu ddwy funud cyn inni ailgychwyn ein trafodion. Diolch.
English: That bring us to our next item, a debate on a Member's legislative proposal, a deposit-return scheme and waste reduction Bill. I call on Janet Finch-Saunders to move the motion.
Welsh: Dyma ni yn ailgychwyn, a'r eitem nesaf yw'r ddadl ar gynnig deddfwriaethol gan Aelod. Bil cynllun dychwelyd ernes a lleihau gwastraff yw hwnnw, a dwi'n galw ar Janet Finch-Saunders i wneud y cynnig.
