English: Well, wherever UK Government legislation arises that has an impact on devolution or has a connection with devolved responsibilities, the issue of laying legislative consent memoranda arises. And, of course, these are an obligation; they're not a choice. I think the question that the Member rightly I think is getting at, though, is of course the nature of that legislation and the extent to which it intrudes or undermines the devolved responsibilities. And, of course, it also raises, doesn't it, the issue of the impact of the Sewel convention, which has been under much strain. I will perhaps reiterate some of the points that have already been made, and one is that we have laid LCMs in relation to 14 bills. For seven of those bills, we have indicated that we are not able to recommend consent. We do carry on working with the UK Government in respect of making changes that might enable consent to be given. Those discussions occur between me and my counterpart in the UK Government. They also occur in connection with individual Ministers and legislation in their particular portfolios, and, of course, there is regular ongoing engagement between the officials of the Governments of the four nations of the United Kingdom. Perhaps to repeat, the approach we have, which is our general principle, is that primary legislation within the Senedd's competence should be made and amended by the Senedd. We do, from time to time, have to take a pragmatic approach to using UK Government legislation to achieve our policy objectives where the opportunity to do so arises, and where it is sensible and advantageous to do so and it is in the interest of the people of Wales to do so.
Welsh: Wel, lle bynnag y ceir deddfwriaeth Llywodraeth y DU sy'n effeithio ar ddatganoli neu sydd â chysylltiad â chyfrifoldebau datganoledig, mae'r mater o osod memoranda cydsyniad deddfwriaethol yn codi. Ac wrth gwrs, mae'r rhain yn orfodol; nid dewis ydynt. Credaf mai'r cwestiwn y mae'r Aelod yn ei ofyn serch hynny, yw natur y ddeddfwriaeth honno ac i ba raddau y mae'n ymwthio neu'n tanseilio'r cyfrifoldebau datganoledig. Ac wrth gwrs, mae hefyd yn codi mater effaith confensiwn Sewel, onid yw, sydd wedi bod o dan lawer o straen. Rwyf am ailadrodd rhai o'r pwyntiau sydd eisoes wedi'u gwneud, ac un ohonynt yw ein bod wedi gosod gorchmynion cymhwysedd deddfwriaethol mewn perthynas â 14 o filiau. Ar gyfer saith o'r biliau hynny, rydym wedi nodi na allwn argymell cydsyniad. Rydym yn parhau i weithio gyda Llywodraeth y DU mewn perthynas â gwneud newidiadau a allai arwain at roi cydsyniad. Mae'r trafodaethau hynny'n digwydd rhyngof fi a fy swyddog cyfatebol yn Llywodraeth y DU. Maent hefyd yn digwydd mewn cysylltiad â Gweinidogion unigol a deddfwriaeth yn eu portffolios penodol, ac wrth gwrs, ceir ymgysylltiad parhaus yn rheolaidd rhwng swyddogion Llywodraethau pedair gwlad y Deyrnas Unedig. Os caf ailadrodd, y dull gweithredu sydd gennym, sef ein hegwyddor gyffredinol, yw y dylai deddfwriaeth sylfaenol o fewn cymhwysedd y Senedd gael ei gwneud a'i diwygio gan y Senedd. O bryd i'w gilydd, rhaid inni fabwysiadu dull pragmatig o ddefnyddio deddfwriaeth Llywodraeth y DU i gyflawni ein hamcanion polisi lle mae'r cyfle i wneud hynny'n codi, a lle mae'n synhwyrol ac yn fanteisiol i wneud hynny a'i fod er budd pobl Cymru i wneud hynny.
