English: First Minister, I've just three relatively succinct points. In respect of 16 to 17-year-olds voting, I wonder if you could perhaps elaborate on your views as to how that legislation might be framed, particularly since it has a significant impact on how the education curriculum operates, and the issues that exist, for example, around schools within their curriculum talking about political issues, talking about trade unions and bodies such as that within society, which are clearly important to facilitate 16 and 17-year olds in exercising that power if the legislation actually proceeds and is passed. I did some consultations with two schools in my constituency - Bryn Celynnog and Y Pant - and what was clear was that the overwhelming majority of pupils clearly wanted the vote at 16 and 17, provided they had the information that enabled them to use that. Without that, it was down to something like 50 per cent of pupils actually wanting that. So, it seems to me that's a fundamental part of the legislation in addressing that particular deficit. Whilst I welcome the Renting Homes (Fees etc.) (Wales) Bill, you'll be aware that also in this Chamber there was a unanimous vote in support of legislation to abolish leasehold tenure. I'm aware of the very positive statements that have been made by the Minister in this respect. It seems to me that this is a simple piece of legislation, and I'm just wondering if you could at least confirm it hasn't been ruled out at this stage, and is still a particular option. Thirdly, on the issue of inequality, you'll be aware that the Equality Act 2010, section 1, specifically imposes duties on public authorities to take action on major decisions, to actually reduce inequality of outcome. Now, the Tories specifically prevented the implementation of section 1 of that Act, but of course under section 45 of the Wales Act 2017, that power to trigger section 1, and to implement it, now lies with this Assembly. It seems to me that, without the burden of torturous processes around legislation and so on, a simple step could be taken by an Order of the Welsh Ministers to actually implement section 1 of the Equality Act 2010.
Welsh: Prif Weinidog, dim ond tri phwynt cymharol gryno sydd gen i. O ran pobl ifanc 16 i 17 mlwydd oed yn pleidleisio, tybed a wnewch chi efallai ymhelaethu ar eich barn ynglŷn â sut y gallai'r ddeddfwriaeth honno gael ei llunio, yn arbennig gan y byddai'n effeithio'n sylweddol ar sut y mae'r cwricwlwm addysg yn gweithredu a'r materion sy'n bodoli, er enghraifft, ynghylch ysgolion o fewn eu cwricwlwm yn sôn am faterion gwleidyddol, yn sôn am undebau llafur a chyrff fel hynny o fewn cymdeithas, sy'n amlwg yn bwysig i hwyluso pobl ifanc 16 a 17 oed i arfer y pŵer hwnnw os yw'r ddeddfwriaeth yn mynd rhagddi ac yn cael ei phasio. Fe wnes i rywfaint o ymgynghori â dwy ysgol yn fy etholaeth i - Bryn Celynnog ac Y Pant - a'r hyn oedd yn glir oedd bod mwyafrif llethol y disgyblion yn amlwg eisiau'r bleidlais yn 16 ac 17 oed, ar yr amod fod ganddyn nhw'r wybodaeth a oedd yn eu galluogi i'w defnyddio. Heb hynny, roedd i lawr i tua 50 y cant o ddisgyblion eisiau hynny mewn gwirionedd. Felly, ymddengys i mi fod hynny'n rhan sylfaenol o'r ddeddfwriaeth wrth fynd i'r afael â'r diffyg penodol hwnnw. Er fy mod yn croesawu Bil Rhentu Cartrefi (Ffioedd etc.) (Cymru), byddwch yn ymwybodol hefyd yn y Siambr hon y cafwyd pleidlais unfrydol i gefnogi deddfwriaeth i ddiddymu lesddeiliadaeth. Rwy'n ymwybodol o'r datganiadau cadarnhaol iawn a wnaed gan y Gweinidog yn hyn o beth. Ymddengys i mi fod hwn yn ddarn syml o ddeddfwriaeth, a tybed a allech chi o leiaf gadarnhau nad yw wedi cael ei ddiystyru ar hyn o bryd, a'i fod yn dal i fod yn opsiwn penodol. Yn drydydd, ar fater anghydraddoldeb, byddwch yn ymwybodol bod adran 1 o Ddeddf Cydraddoldeb 2010 yn benodol yn gosod dyletswyddau ar awdurdodau cyhoeddus i gymryd camau ar benderfyniadau mawr, i leihau anghydraddoldeb o ran canlyniadau mewn gwirionedd. Nawr, ataliodd y Torïaid weithrediad adran 1 o'r Ddeddf honno, ond wrth gwrs o dan adran 45 o Ddeddf Cymru 2017, mae'r pŵer hwnnw i sbarduno adran 1, a'i rhoi ar waith, bellach yn y Cynulliad hwn. Ymddengys i mi, heb faich y prosesau arteithiol ynghylch deddfwriaeth ac ati, y gellid cymryd cam syml drwy Orchymyn Gweinidogion Cymru i weithredu adran 1 o Ddeddf Cydraddoldeb 2010 mewn gwirionedd.
