English: I really welcome today's statement from the Counsel General and the work behind this statement, from both the Counsel General and the Minister for Social Justice. I think Members of this Senedd, no matter what political home we find ourselves in, should recognise and welcome a Government that is seeking to retip the scales of justice towards ordinary people, and this is something certainly that is echoed in today's statement, and I wondered if the Counsel General has any advice of his own to the Welsh Conservative group in terms of them reflecting on their position. Counsel General, we see example after example of the powerful hiding behind a system that is rigged in their favour: Grenfell, the Post Office Horizon scandal, and of course Hillsborough, to name just a few of them. Those with deep pockets can often afford access to huge legal teams, and then ordinary people are often left feeling intimidated by this, and frankly, even when they do get some level of legal support, there is often a lack of parity of esteem: teams of barristers funded by the state or large organisations and companies up against people consistently worried about how they will fund their own legal team and how long these proceedings will last. Again and again, the powerful use delays to grind opponents down because they can afford to. It's a tactic; it's simply a tactic to avoid justice, and that is wrong on every single level. Counsel General, thankfully, there are some legal firms out there, like Hudgell Solicitors, who will support the underdog, but the system should not rely on their goodwill. Can I ask the Counsel General how do we start that journey of retipping the scales of justice in terms of devolution of further powers to address these problems, and, again, does he have any advice for Members of the Welsh Conservative group about this issue so that they can reflect and retip their own judgments on the scale of justice? Diolch yn fawr.
Welsh: Rwy'n croesawu'n fawr y datganiad heddiw gan y Cwnsler Cyffredinol a'r gwaith y tu ôl i'r datganiad hwn, gan y Cwnsler Cyffredinol a'r Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol. Rwy'n credu y dylai Aelodau'r Senedd hon, ni waeth pa gartref gwleidyddol yr ydym yn ein cael ein hunain ynddo, gydnabod a chroesawu Llywodraeth sy'n ceisio ail-droi mantol cyfiawnder tuag at bobl gyffredin, ac mae hyn yn sicr yn rhywbeth sy'n cael ei adleisio yn y datganiad heddiw, a tybed a oes gan y Cwnsler Cyffredinol unrhyw gyngor ei hun i grŵp y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig o ran hwythau yn myfyrio ynghylch eu safbwynt nhw. Cwnsler Cyffredinol, gwelwn enghraifft ar ôl enghraifft o'r cuddio pwerus y tu ôl i system sydd wedi'i rigio o'u plaid: Grenfell, sgandal Horizon Swyddfa'r Post, ac wrth gwrs Hillsborough, i enwi dim ond ychydig ohonyn nhw. Yn aml, gall y rhai sydd â phocedi dwfn fforddio cael gafael ar dimau cyfreithiol enfawr, ac yna mae pobl gyffredin yn aml yn cael eu gadael wedi'u brawychu gan hyn, a dweud y gwir, hyd yn oed pan fyddan nhw'n cael rhyw lefel o gymorth cyfreithiol, mae diffyg cydraddoldeb parch yn aml: timau o fargyfreithwyr a ariennir gan y wladwriaeth neu sefydliadau a chwmnïau mawr yn erbyn pobl sy'n poeni'n gyson ynghylch sut y byddan nhw'n ariannu eu tîm cyfreithiol eu hunain a pha mor hir y mae'r achosion hyn am bara. Dro ar ôl tro, mae'r rhai pwerus yn defnyddio oedi i wasgu ar wrthwynebwyr oherwydd eu bod yn gallu fforddio gwneud hynny. Mae'n dacteg; dim ond tacteg i osgoi cyfiawnder, ac mae hynny'n anghywir ar bob un lefel. Cwnsler Cyffredinol, diolch byth, mae rhai cwmnïau cyfreithiol ar gael, fel Cyfreithwyr Hudgell, a fydd yn cefnogi'r gwan, ond ni ddylai'r system ddibynnu ar eu hewyllys da nhw. A gaf i ofyn i'r Cwnsler Cyffredinol sut y dechreuwn y daith honno o ail-droi mantol cyfiawnder o ran datganoli rhagor o bwerau i fynd i'r afael â'r problemau hyn, ac, unwaith eto, a oes ganddo unrhyw gyngor i Aelodau grŵp y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig ynghylch y mater hwn fel y gallan nhw fyfyrio ac ail-droi eu barn eu hunain ar fantol cyfiawnder? Diolch yn fawr.
