English: Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. I'd like to thank Members for their thoughtful and considered responses. I will just pick up a few of the points in the very brief time period I've got. I thank Llyr for his intervention, because, as the Finance Committee acknowledge in their letter, many of the additional costs in the latest explanatory memorandum are as a result of recommendations from his committee, so we were listening to his committee. And, Janet, as far as I'm aware, no other nation has done as much to identify the potential impact or costs before legislating to prohibit physical punishment of children. Many of our near neighbours have been involved in promoting this legislation. Ireland introduced it on an amendment with no preparation at all. We have spent an extensive amount of time preparing for this legislation. The Bill provides clarity for parents, professionals and the public, and from the commencement date, physical punishment of a child in Wales will no longer be acceptable under any circumstances. I think it's an interesting point that 58 per cent of the Welsh public already think that this is the law, and picking up on what Mark Reckless has said, 81 per cent of young parents with young children think that it is not necessary to physically punish a child. I believe that the public mood is changing. All the research that the Welsh Government has done has shown a distinct change in mood. Lynne Neagle mentioned how the Youth Parliament voted. We are moving that way and we are going with the times, but we must be sensitive, as Mark Reckless has said, to the minority who still do use physical punishment. But, as I've said, we're going to give support to parents, we're going to give advice, we're going to give information. I don't think we could be doing more to carefully prepare, and all the agencies are working with us. We've got a major implementation group, we've got subgroups - we've got a subgroup on diversion, we've got one on parenting support - and they're working with this very enthusiastically, because this is something that many people have wanted for many years. Because they do see it as an impediment to being able to advise parents, work with parents. Those front-line professionals, the health visitors, the midwives, people who are working with parents right from the beginning, they want to be clear what they can say and, if we do this, it will make it clear. And just remember, we did talk about domestic abuse in this way a very short time ago. So, let's sign into Welsh law this important bit of legislation, which will help to protect the rights of our children in Wales now and in the future. Let's continue to have the courage to do the right thing by the children of this country. So, I urge all Members to support the Children (Abolition of the Defence of Reasonable Punishment) (Wales) Bill and take another momentous step forward in protecting children's rights in Wales.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr, Dirprwy Lywydd. Hoffwn ddiolch i'r Aelodau am eu hymatebion meddylgar ac ystyriol. Hoffwn godi rhai o'r pwyntiau yn y cyfnod byr iawn sydd gennyf. Diolch i Llyr am ei ymyriad, oherwydd, fel y mae'r Pwyllgor Cyllid yn cydnabod yn eu llythyr, mae llawer o'r costau ychwanegol yn y memorandwm esboniadol diweddaraf yn deillio o argymhellion gan ei bwyllgor ef, felly roeddem yn gwrando ar ei bwyllgor. A, Janet, hyd y gwn i, nid oes yr un gwlad arall wedi gwneud cymaint i nodi'r effaith neu'r costau posibl cyn deddfu i wahardd cosbi plant yn gorfforol. Mae llawer o'n cymdogion agos wedi bod yn rhan o'r gwaith o hyrwyddo'r ddeddfwriaeth hon. Fe'i cyflwynwyd gan Iwerddon ar welliant heb unrhyw baratoi o gwbl. Rydym ni wedi treulio llawer iawn o amser yn paratoi ar gyfer y ddeddfwriaeth hon. Mae'r Bil yn darparu eglurder i rieni, gweithwyr proffesiynol a'r cyhoedd, ac o'r dyddiad cychwyn, ni fydd cosb gorfforol plentyn yng Nghymru yn dderbyniol mwyach o dan unrhyw amgylchiadau. Rwy'n credu ei fod yn bwynt diddorol bod 58 y cant o'r cyhoedd yng Nghymru eisoes yn meddwl mai dyma'r gyfraith, a chan sylwi ar yr hyn y mae Mark Reckless wedi'i ddweud, mae 81 y cant o rieni ifanc sydd â phlant ifanc yn credu nad oes angen cosbi plentyn yn gorfforol. Credaf fod teimladau'r cyhoedd yn newid. Mae'r holl ymchwil y mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi ei wneud wedi dangos newid nodedig yn nheimladau pobl. Soniodd Lynne Neagle am sut y pleidleisiodd y Senedd Ieuenctid. Rydym yn symud i'r cyfeiriad hwnnw ac rydym yn mynd gyda'r oes, ond mae'n rhaid i ni fod yn sensitif, fel y mae Mark Reckless wedi ei ddweud, o ran y lleiafrif sy'n dal i ddefnyddio cosb gorfforol. Ond, fel y dywedais, rydym ni'n mynd i roi cymorth i rieni, rydym ni'n mynd i roi cyngor, rydym ni'n mynd i roi gwybodaeth. Nid wyf i'n credu y gallem ni fod yn gwneud mwy i baratoi'n ofalus, ac mae'r holl asiantaethau'n gweithio gyda ni. Mae gennym ni grŵp gweithredu mawr, mae gennym ni is-grwpiau - mae gennym ni is-grŵp dargyfeirio, mae gennym ni un ar gymorth rhianta - ac maen nhw'n gweithio gyda hwn yn frwdfrydig iawn, oherwydd ei fod yn rhywbeth y mae llawer o bobl wedi bod eisiau ei weld ers blynyddoedd lawer. Oherwydd maen nhw yn ei weld yn rhwystr rhag gallu cynghori rhieni, gweithio gyda rhieni. Mae'r gweithwyr proffesiynol rheng flaen hynny, yr ymwelwyr iechyd, y bydwragedd, pobl sy'n gweithio gyda rhieni o'r cychwyn cyntaf, maen nhw eisiau bod yn glir ynghylch yr hyn y cânt ei ddweud ac, os gwnawn hyn, bydd yn ei wneud yn glir. A chofiwch, fe wnaethom ni siarad am gam-drin domestig yn y modd hwn yn ddiweddar iawn. Felly, gadewch i ni lofnodi'r darn pwysig hwn o ddeddfwriaeth i gyfraith Cymru, a fydd yn helpu i ddiogelu hawliau ein plant yng Nghymru nawr ac yn y dyfodol. Beth am barhau i fod yn ddewr a gwneud y peth iawn ar gyfer plant y wlad hon? Felly, rwy'n annog pob Aelod i gefnogi Bil Plant (Diddymu Amddiffyniad Cosb Resymol) (Cymru) a chymryd cam pwysig arall ymlaen o ran amddiffyn hawliau plant yng Nghymru.
