English: When our European partners agreed to extend the Brexit deadline two months ago, the message from Jean-Claude Juncker was very clear: don't waste this time. Since then, we've had six weeks of fruitless talks between the Conservatives and Labour, and now, in an unparalleled act of self-absorbed navel-gazing, the Conservatives in Westminster are about to embark on a leadership contest, proving what many of us have known all along, that Brexit, for them, is about what's best for their party not what's best for the country. In the meantime, manufacturing companies in my constituency are continuing to live with Brexit uncertainty every single day. Would the First Minister agree with me that we are now rapidly running out of road on this issue and that it is becoming increasingly clear that the only realistic way to resolve this impasse is to put this back to the people in another vote? And would you agree with me that this is not, as Mark Reckless has tried to claim, about disrespecting the views of the people. This is about giving everyone the opportunity to have a final say on a deal that would impact on us for years to come once we know what that deal looks like. This is about listening to the people.
Welsh: Pan gytunodd ein partneriaid Ewropeaidd i ymestyn y dyddiad terfyn Brexit ddeufis yn ôl, roedd y neges gan Jean-Claude Juncker yn glir iawn: peidiwch â'i wastraffu'r tro hwn. Ers hynny, rydym wedi cael chwe wythnos o drafodaethau ofer rhwng y Ceidwadwyr a Llafur, ac yn awr, mewn gweithred ddigyfaddawd o ail-syllu ar eu hunain, mae'r Ceidwadwyr yn San Steffan ar fin cychwyn cystadleuaeth arweinyddiaeth, gan brofi'r hyn y mae llawer ohonom wedi ei wybod ar hyd yr amser, fod Brexit iddynt hwy'n golygu'r hyn sydd orau i'w plaid hwy ac nid yr hyn sydd orau i'r wlad. Yn y cyfamser, mae cwmnïau gweithgynhyrchu yn fy etholaeth i yn dal i fyw gydag ansicrwydd Brexit bob dydd. A fyddai'r Prif Weinidog yn cytuno â mi ein bod bellach bron a chyrraedd pen ein tennyn ar y mater hwn a'i bod yn dod yn fwyfwy amlwg mai'r unig ffordd realistig o ddatrys y cyfyngder hwn yw drwy fynd yn ôl at y bobl a chael pleidlais arall? Ac a fyddech yn cytuno â mi nad oes gan hyn ddim i'w wneud ag amharchu barn y bobl, fel y mae Mark Reckless wedi ceisio ei honni. Mae a wnelo hyn â rhoi cyfle i bawb gael rhoi'r gair olaf ar fargen a fyddai'n effeithio arnom am flynyddoedd i ddod unwaith y byddwn yn gwybod sut fargen fydd honno. Mae hyn yn ymwneud â gwrando ar y bobl.
English: The next item, therefore, is questions to the Counsel General in respect of his law officer responsibilities. And the first question is from Bethan Sayed.
Welsh: Yr eitem nesaf, felly, yw'r cwestiynau i'r Cwnsler Cyffredinol mewn perthynas â'i gyfrifoldebau fel swyddog cyfreithiol. Ac mae'r cwestiwn cyntaf gan Bethan Sayed.
English: The expenditure that has been incurred by the Welsh Government in relation to the judicial review of the coroner's decision, including the costs of leading counsel, amounted to £18,732.18.
Welsh: Cyfanswm y gwariant yr oedd yn rhaid i Lywodraeth Cymru ei dalu yn gysylltiedig â'r adolygiad barnwrol o benderfyniad y crwner, gan gynnwys costau'r Prif Gwnsler, oedd £18,732.18.
English: Thank you very much for that reply, and I'm glad I could get a reply on the floor of the Chamber because I did send a freedom of information request, and at that time I was told, on 1 May, that no information was held and that no budgets were set aside for these specific purposes. So, can I ask if there will be any additional expenditure in this regard and what that would be, and if an Assembly Member writes with that particular request in future that we will be able to get a reply that will be open and transparent as opposed to one that was not?
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr am yr ateb hwnnw, ac rwy'n falch fy mod wedi gallu cael ateb ar lawr y Siambr gan fy mod wedi anfon cais rhyddid gwybodaeth, a bryd hynny dywedwyd wrthyf, ar 1 Mai, nad oedd yna unrhyw wybodaeth ar gael ac na neilltuwyd cyllidebau ar gyfer y dibenion penodol hyn. Felly, a gaf i ofyn a fydd unrhyw wariant ychwanegol yn y cyswllt hwn a beth fyddai hynny, ac os bydd aelod o'r Cynulliad yn ysgrifennu gyda'r cais arbennig hwnnw yn y dyfodol y byddwn yn gallu cael ateb a fydd yn agored ac yn dryloyw yn hytrach nag un nad oedd yn agored a thryloyw?
English: Well, I hope the Member feels that my response today has been open and transparent in giving the precise figure. I'm not in a position to comment on the particular freedom of information request that the Member refers to. I don't anticipate further substantive costs being incurred. The costs that were incurred were done with a view to minimising those costs, and so, although leading counsel was retained, she was instructed by the Welsh Government's legal services department, which will have had the effect of keeping those costs to a minimum.
Welsh: Wel, rwy'n gobeithio bod yr Aelod yn teimlo bod fy ymateb heddiw wedi bod yn agored ac yn dryloyw o ran rhoi'r union ffigwr. Nid wyf mewn sefyllfa i roi sylwadau ar y cais rhyddid gwybodaeth penodol y mae'r Aelod yn cyfeirio ato. Dydw i ddim yn rhagweld y bydd costau sylweddol eraill yn codi. Gwnaed y costau hyn gyda'r bwriad o leihau'r costau hynny, ac felly, er i gwnsler arweiniol gael ei chadw, cyfarwyddwyd hi gan adran gwasanaethau cyfreithiol Llywodraeth Cymru, ac fe fydd hyn wedi cael yr effaith o gadw'r costau hynny mor isel â phosibl.
English: Counsel General, I've had some correspondence with the Permanent Secretary in relation to the use of the transcript from the inquest and, in particular, special advisers instructing civil servants to look at diaries. Now, it was my understanding, and I've had that confirmed from the coroner, that the transcript should not have been used, other than for the specific purpose that it was requested for. The correspondence to me obviously wasn't the purpose that it was requested for. Do you therefore believe that, if that transcript was used incorrectly, the Permanent Secretary's in danger of being in contempt of court?
Welsh: Cwnsler Cyffredinol, rwyf wedi cael rhywfaint o ohebiaeth gyda'r Ysgrifennydd Parhaol ynghylch y defnydd o drawsgrifiad o'r cwest ac, yn arbennig, cynghorwyr arbennig yn cyfarwyddo gweision sifil i edrych ar ddyddiaduron. Nawr, fy nealltwriaeth i, ac rwyf wedi cael cadarnhad o hynny gan y crwner, oedd na ddylid bod wedi defnyddio'r trawsgrifiad, heblaw at y diben penodol y gofynnwyd amdano. Yn amlwg, nid yr ohebiaeth ataf i oedd y diben y gofynnwyd amdano. A ydych yn credu, felly, pe bai'r trawsgrifiad hwnnw'n cael ei ddefnyddio'n anghywir, fod yr Ysgrifennydd Parhaol mewn perygl o fod mewn dirmyg llys?
English: Well, I'm not familiar with the correspondence to which the Member refers in his question, but I'm happy to look into that matter.
Welsh: Wel, dydw i ddim yn gyfarwydd â'r ohebiaeth y mae'r Aelod yn cyfeirio ati yn ei gwestiwn, ond rwy'n hapus i ystyried y mater.
English: We await the outcome of the justice commission, but the Welsh Government is advocating the creation of a Welsh legal jurisdiction for many reasons, constitutional and practical. We are also of the view that a Welsh legal jurisdiction would benefit Welsh lawyers or, at the very least, would have a neutral effect.
Welsh: Rydym ni'n aros am ganlyniad y comisiwn cyfiawnder, ond mae Llywodraeth Cymru o blaid creu awdurdodaeth gyfreithiol i Gymru am lawer o resymau, yn gyfansoddiadol ac yn ymarferol. Rydym o'r farn hefyd y byddai awdurdodaeth gyfreithiol i Gymru o fudd i gyfreithwyr Cymru neu, o leiaf, y byddai'n cael effaith niwtral.
English: Thank you. None of us can deny the development of Welsh law and the ever increasing role played by the Welsh Government in the delivery of justice in Wales. Therefore, I welcome the fact that the Commission on Justice in Wales is reviewing the system and looking at creating a long-term vision. The Law Society, however, has recently made its submission to the commission. In this, they have noted that complete separation of Wales from the current single jurisdiction could dilute the jurisdiction of England and Wales and curtail the ability of solicitors to maintain the current level of legal services activity in Wales. Indeed, it is explained that 'Wales could be perceived as a difficult place to do business.' Their words, not mine. With the interests of the future of around 450 law firms and 4,000 law students here - [ Interruption.] Will you give assurances that a jurisdictional solution is being explored in addition to simply pursuing complete jurisdictional separation?
Welsh: Diolch. Ni all neb ohonom wadu datblygiad cyfraith Cymru a rhan gynyddol Llywodraeth Cymru yn y gwaith o ddarparu cyfiawnder yng Nghymru. Felly, rwy'n croesawu'r ffaith bod y Comisiwn ar Gyfiawnder yng Nghymru yn adolygu'r system ac yn ystyried creu gweledigaeth hirdymor. Mae Cymdeithas y Cyfreithwyr, fodd bynnag, wedi cyflwyno ei argymhelliad i'r Comisiwn yn ddiweddar. Yn hyn o beth, maen nhw wedi nodi y gallai gwahanu Cymru'n llwyr oddi wrth yr awdurdodaeth sengl bresennol wanhau awdurdodaeth Cymru a Lloegr a chyfyngu ar allu cyfreithwyr i gynnal y lefel bresennol o weithgarwch gwasanaethau cyfreithiol yng Nghymru. Yn wir, eglurir 'y gallai Cymru gael ei gweld fel lle anodd i weithredu busnes.' Eu geiriau nhw, nid fy rhai i yw'r rhain. Gyda buddiannau dyfodol tua 450 o gwmnïau cyfreithiol a 4,000 o fyfyrwyr y gyfraith yma - [ Torri ar draws.] A wnewch chi roi sicrwydd inni fod ateb awdurdodaethol yn cael ei archwilio yn ogystal â mynd ar drywydd gwahanu awdurdodaethol llwyr yn unig?
English: I'm grateful to you, Counsel General, for your answer to the original question. It is important, of course, that we do see the creation of a Welsh jurisdiction to be able to establish a coherent and stable settlement in this country. You will have seen the report of the House of Commons select committee on Welsh affairs, published last week, and also recent announcements from the United Kingdom Government on the future of the probation service. All of these matters, of course, are areas where extreme difficulty is caused by having the current England-and-Wales jurisdiction, and where there are people suffering in this country as a consequence of that situation. My question to you this afternoon is that the Welsh Government has already submitted its view to the Thomas commission: does the Welsh Government have any plans to submit any additional evidence to the commission, or does the Welsh Government stand by the evidence that was given by myself, and, at that time, himself, and the former First Minister?
Welsh: Rwy'n ddiolchgar i chi, Cwnsler Cyffredinol, am eich ateb i'r cwestiwn gwreiddiol. Mae'n bwysig, wrth gwrs, ein bod yn gweld creu awdurdodaeth i Gymru er mwyn gallu sefydlu setliad cydlynol a sefydlog yn y wlad hon. Byddwch wedi gweld adroddiad pwyllgor dethol Tŷ'r Cyffredin ar faterion Cymreig, a gyhoeddwyd yr wythnos diwethaf, a hefyd gyhoeddiadau'n ddiweddar gan Lywodraeth y Deyrnas Unedig ar ddyfodol y gwasanaeth prawf. Mae'r materion hyn i gyd, wrth gwrs, yn feysydd lle mae anhawster aruthrol yn cael ei achosi drwy gael yr awdurdodaeth bresennol rhwng Cymru a Lloegr, a lle mae pobl yn dioddef yn y wlad hon o ganlyniad i'r sefyllfa honno. Fy nghwestiwn i chi y prynhawn yma yw bod Llywodraeth Cymru eisoes wedi cyflwyno ei barn i gomisiwn Thomas: a oes gan Lywodraeth Cymru unrhyw gynlluniau i gyflwyno unrhyw dystiolaeth ychwanegol i'r comisiwn, neu a yw Llywodraeth Cymru yn glynu wrth y dystiolaeth a roddwyd gennyf i, ac, ar y pryd, ef ei hun, a chyn Brif Weinidog Cymru?
English: Well, both those propositions are true. There are plans to provide further evidence. I myself, for example, have been to Northern Ireland and to Scotland to look at how matters work there. Some of the features that we would perhaps have to deal with in a future settlement here are ones that are already part of the daily life of legal practitioners in Northern Ireland. So, there will be the prospect of further evidence, but, the Welsh Government's evidence to date, we stand by that.
Welsh: Wel, mae'r ddau gynnig hynny'n wir. Mae cynlluniau ar y gweill i ddarparu rhagor o dystiolaeth. Rwyf i fy hun, er enghraifft, wedi bod i Ogledd Iwerddon ac i'r Alban i edrych ar sut mae pethau'n gweithio yno. Mae rhai o'r nodweddion y byddai'n rhaid inni ddelio â nhw efallai mewn setliad yn y dyfodol yma yn rhai sydd eisoes yn rhan o fywyd bob dydd ymarferwyr cyfreithiol yng Ngogledd Iwerddon. Felly, bydd posibilrwydd o ragor o dystiolaeth, ond ar hyn o bryd, rydym yn cadw at dystiolaeth Llywodraeth Cymru.
English: It's a follow-up to question 3, is it?
Welsh: Ai dilyniant i gwestiwn 3, ydy o?
English: Question 2.
Welsh: Cwestiwn 2.
English: It's question 3 I want to - .
Welsh: Cwestiwn 3 wyf i am - .
English: The responsibility for taking action to enforce Welsh-made legislation through the justice system largely lies with the Welsh Government and a range of agencies. The Welsh Government's approach is to promote behavioural change and collaboration rather than criminalisation, and we would like to pursue this approach through a devolved justice system.
Welsh: Mae'r cyfrifoldeb am weithredu i orfodi deddfwriaeth a wnaed yng Nghymru drwy'r system gyfiawnder yn gorwedd yn bennaf gyda Llywodraeth Cymru ac amrywiaeth o asiantaethau. Dull Llywodraeth Cymru yw hyrwyddo newid mewn ymddygiad a chydweithio yn hytrach na throseddoli, a hoffem ddilyn y dull hwn drwy system cyfiawnder ddatganoledig.
English: Okay, thank you. Well, one way through which compliance with marine and fisheries related legislation is pursued by the Welsh Government is through the use of fisheries patrol vessels. Now, I've been undertaking an investigation on behalf of some constituents who raised this with me into the activities of those berthed in Aberconwy between January 2017 and February 2019. What I have found is that the FPG - FPV, in fact - FPV Aegis, FPV Cranogwen and FPV Lady Megan encountered a total of 108 vessels, equating to about one a week. More so, only a total of five breaches were discovered, and as a result no fines were levied during this 26-month period. Now, when considering those appalling enforcement and prosecution statistics, and bearing in mind that the Welsh Government has invested £2.6 million in a new FPV, taxpayers and local fishermen deserve answers as to what exactly is going on. Will you undertake a review of the activities of the FPVs as a means of enforcing legislation, and, generally, in more terms, would you look at where we do have legislation in place, where enforcement is needed, and where legislation is being breached, and actually ensure that, where there need to be prosecutions, they are in fact carried out?
Welsh: Iawn, diolch. Wel, un ffordd y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn mynd ati i gydymffurfio â deddfwriaeth forol â physgodfeydd yw drwy ddefnyddio llongau patrolio pysgodfeydd. Nawr, rwyf wedi bod yn cynnal ymchwiliad ar ran rhai etholwyr a gododd hyn gyda mi i weithgareddau'r rhai a angorwyd yn Aberconwy rhwng Ionawr 2017 a Chwefror 2019. Yr hyn yr wyf wedi'i ganfod yw bod y llongau patrolio pysgodfeydd yr Aegis, y Cranogwen a'r Lady Megan wedi dod ar draws cyfanswm o 108 o longau, sy'n cyfateb i tua un yr wythnos. Yn fwy na hynny, dim ond cyfanswm o bum torcyfraith a ganfuwyd, ac o ganlyniad ni chafodd unrhyw ddirwyon eu codi yn ystod y cyfnod 26 mis hwn. Nawr, wrth ystyried yr ystadegau ofnadwy hynny ar orfodi ac erlyn, ac o gofio bod Llywodraeth Cymru wedi buddsoddi £2.6 miliwn mewn llong patrolio pysgodfeydd newydd, mae trethdalwyr a physgotwyr lleol yn haeddu atebion ynglŷn â beth yn union sy'n digwydd. A wnewch gynnal adolygiad o weithgareddau'r llongau patrolio pysgodfeydd fel modd o orfodi deddfwriaeth, ac, yn gyffredinol, ac ymhellach, a fyddech chi'n ystyried lle y mae deddfwriaeth ar waith, lle y mae angen gorfodi, a lle y torrir y ddeddfwriaeth, ac mewn gwirionedd sicrhau, lle mae angen erlyniadau, eu bod yn cael eu cyflawni?
English: Well - [ Interruption. ]
Welsh: Wel - [ Torri ar draws. ]
English: Oh, shut up, Alun.
Welsh: O, bydd yn dawel, Alun.
English: I'm surprised to hear - [ Interruption. ]
Welsh: Rwy'n synnu o glywed - [ Torri ar draws. ]
English: Calm down. Less accusations and less responses.
Welsh: Ymdawelwch. Llai o gyhuddiadau a llai o ymatebion.
English: I'm surprised to hear the Member criticise our approach towards seeking to enforce the regulations that we are responsible for enforcing. I would have hoped that she would have supported the Government in practical and proactive enforcement of the regulations that we are responsible for enforcing here in Wales. And I think investment in fisheries patrol vehicles is a very, very sensible investment on the part of the Welsh Government, and they will be busier as a consequence of Brexit, if I may just point that out to the Member. Since I became Counsel General, I've been clear that the work around fisheries enforcement in particular is a priority, and I meet regularly with lawyers to ascertain the state of all the prosecutions that we have in relation to infractions across Wales. And the whole point of that is to maintain momentum and to ensure that people in Wales cannot simply disregard the regulations that are applicable and that are there to protect stocks of often very sensitive shellfish beds and so on, and other marine habitats, and we take that responsibility very seriously indeed.
Welsh: Rwy'n synnu o glywed yr Aelod yn beirniadu ein hymagwedd tuag at geisio gorfodi'r rheoliadau yr ydym yn gyfrifol am eu gorfodi. Byddwn wedi gobeithio y byddai wedi cefnogi'r Llywodraeth i orfodi'n ymarferol ac yn rhagweithiol y rheoliadau yr ydym yn gyfrifol am eu gorfodi yma yng Nghymru. Ac rwy'n meddwl bod buddsoddi mewn llongau patrolio pysgodfeydd yn fuddsoddiad synhwyrol iawn ar ran Llywodraeth Cymru, a byddant yn brysurach o ganlyniad i Brexit, os caf i gyfeirio hynny at yr Aelod. Ers imi ddod yn Gwnsler Cyffredinol, rwyf wedi bod yn glir bod y gwaith sy'n ymwneud â gorfodi pysgodfeydd yn arbennig yn flaenoriaeth, ac rwy'n cyfarfod yn rheolaidd â chyfreithwyr i ganfod beth yw cyflwr yr holl erlyniadau sydd gennym yn gysylltiedig â thorri gweithrediadau ledled Cymru. Holl bwynt hynny yw cynnal momentwm a sicrhau nad yw pobl yng Nghymru yn gallu diystyru'r rheoliadau sy'n berthnasol ac sydd yno i ddiogelu stociau o welyau pysgod cregyn ac ati sy'n aml yn sensitif iawn, a chynefinoedd morol eraill, ac rydym yn cymryd y cyfrifoldeb hwnnw'n ddifrifol iawn.
English: Counsel General, do you know of any other law officer who has backed changing rules enforced under legislation retrospectively to ban a political group he dislikes?
Welsh: Cwnsler Cyffredinol, a wyddoch chi am unrhyw swyddog cyfreithiol arall sydd wedi cefnogi newid rheolau a orfodwyd o dan ddeddfwriaeth i ôl-weithredu i wahardd grŵp gwleidyddol nad yw'n eu hoffi?
English: I'm not aware of the point of the Member's question.
Welsh: Dydw i ddim yn ymwybodol o ddiben cwestiwn yr Aelod.
English: The Welsh Government has consistently expressed to the UK Government its concerns about women who have had their state pension age raised without effective or sufficient notification. However, state pensions are a non-devolved matter and therefore the Welsh Ministers' powers are constrained in that respect.
Welsh: Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi mynegi ei phryderon yn gyson wrth Lywodraeth y DU ynghylch menywod lle mae oedran derbyn eu pensiwn y wladwriaeth wedi cael ei godi heb eu hysbysu'n effeithiol nac yn ddigonol. Fodd bynnag, nid yw pensiynau'r wladwriaeth yn fater sydd wedi'i ddatganoli ac felly cyfyngir ar bwerau Gweinidogion Cymru yn hynny o beth.
English: I appreciate the constraint that the Counsel General identifies, but in Plenary on 20 March it was agreed the Welsh Government would make representations to the UK Government in support of the Women Against State Pension Inequality state pension campaigners, many of whom are my constituents and have been in touch directly with me. The Deputy Minister and the Chief Whip also confirmed the Counsel General would consider what action Welsh Government could take in relation to the litigation against the Department for Work and Pensions for the alleged mishandling of raising the state pension age for women born in the 1950s. And the High Court hearing date for the judicial review is now fast approaching, because it's Wednesday 5 June and Thursday 6 June. I appreciate what he says about pensions being a reserved matter, but we have made a commitment. The Welsh Government has made a commitment to those campaigners. Therefore, can he satisfy this Chamber that the Welsh Government has taken the action that we discussed on 20 March and has put pressure on since?
Welsh: Rwy'n deall y cyfyngiadau y mae'r Cwnsler Cyffredinol yn eu nodi, ond yn y cyfarfod llawn ar 20 Mawrth cytunwyd y byddai Llywodraeth Cymru yn cyflwyno sylwadau i Lywodraeth y DU i gefnogi ymgyrchwyr pensiwn y wladwriaeth, sy'n ymwneud ag anghydraddoldeb pensiwn y wladwriaeth, llawer ohonyn nhw'n etholwyr i mi ac wedi cysylltu'n uniongyrchol â mi. Cadarnhaodd y Dirprwy Weinidog a'r Prif Chwip hefyd y byddai'r Cwnsler Cyffredinol yn ystyried pa gamau y gallai Llywodraeth Cymru eu cymryd yn gysylltiedig â'r ymgyfreitha yn erbyn yr Adran Gwaith a Phensiynau am y cam-drafod honedig o godi oedran pensiwn y wladwriaeth ar gyfer menywod a anwyd yn y 1950au. Ac mae dyddiad gwrandawiad yr Uchel Lys ar gyfer yr adolygiad barnwrol yn prysur agosáu erbyn hyn, gan ei fod yn cael ei gynnal ddydd Mercher 5 Mehefin a dydd Iau 6 Mehefin. Gwerthfawrogaf yr hyn a ddywed fod pensiynau'n fater a gadwyd yn ôl, ond rydym wedi gwneud ymrwymiad. Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi gwneud ymrwymiad i'r ymgyrchwyr hynny. Felly, a all ef fodloni'r Siambr hon fod Llywodraeth Cymru wedi cymryd y camau a drafodwyd gennym ar 20 Mawrth ac wedi rhoi pwysau arnynt ers hynny?
