English: Well, Llywydd, the Member could not be more mistaken. He answered his own question in his very first set of remarks: an independent inquiry focused only on Wales would never be able to make sense of exactly the sorts of decisions to which he has pointed. Had he been actually following what the High Court said, he would have seen that the High Court referred to the advice that was available to the UK Government, which was the same advice available to the Government here in Wales. You cannot understand the decisions that were made in Wales by divorcing those decisions from the UK context, the UK advice, the UK level of understanding at the time, and the way in which that was available here in Wales. That's why I have always argued that the best way in which people can get answers to the questions that they absolutely rightly want to see explored, and the Welsh Government will take part in the independent inquiry led by Judge Hallett in the most open way that we can. We will provide all the documents that we have; we will provide all the evidence that was available to us, and we will do so in a way that is not designed to defend the position that the Welsh Government took on any issue. I've already instructed those people who are helping to prepare the Welsh Government's evidence that the approach I want us to take is one in which we will explain why we took the decisions that we did and then leave it for the inquiry to decide whether those decisions were defensible. I am not going to go into an inquiry seeking to justify or defend - those were terms that the Member used; they're not the terms that I will use. We will go there to explain and we will provide all the evidence we can as to why we came to the decisions that we did, and it's then for the inquiry, not for the Welsh Government, and if I can say so, not for the leader of the opposition either, to decide whether or not those decisions were defensible in the context of the time in which they were made.
Welsh: Wel, Llywydd, ni allai'r Aelod fod yn fwy anghywir. Atebodd ei gwestiwn ei hun yn ei gyfres gyntaf o sylwadau: ni fyddai ymchwiliad annibynnol a oedd yn canolbwyntio ar Gymru yn unig byth yn gallu gwneud synnwyr o'r union fathau o benderfyniadau y mae wedi cyfeirio atyn nhw. Pe bai wedi bod yn dilyn yr hyn a ddywedodd yr Uchel Lys mewn gwirionedd, byddai wedi gweld bod yr Uchel Lys wedi cyfeirio at y cyngor a oedd ar gael i Lywodraeth y DU, sef yr un cyngor a oedd ar gael i'r Llywodraeth yma yng Nghymru. Ni allwch chi ddeall y penderfyniadau a gafodd eu gwneud yng Nghymru drwy ysgaru'r penderfyniadau hynny o gyd-destun y DU, cyngor y DU, lefel ddealltwriaeth y DU ar y pryd, a'r ffordd yr oedd hynny ar gael yma yng Nghymru. Dyna pam yr wyf i wedi dadlau erioed mai'r ffordd orau y gall pobl gael atebion i'r cwestiynau y maen nhw'n gwbl briodol eisiau eu gweld yn cael eu harchwilio, a bydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn cymryd rhan yn yr ymchwiliad annibynnol dan arweiniad y Barnwr Hallett yn y ffordd fwyaf agored y gallwn. Byddwn yn darparu'r holl ddogfennau sydd gennym ni; byddwn yn darparu'r holl dystiolaeth a oedd ar gael i ni, a byddwn yn gwneud hynny mewn ffordd na fwriedir iddi amddiffyn y safbwynt a fabwysiadwyd gan Lywodraeth Cymru ar unrhyw fater. Rwyf i eisoes wedi cyfarwyddo'r bobl hynny sy'n helpu i baratoi tystiolaeth Llywodraeth Cymru bod y dull yr wyf i eisiau i ni ei fabwysiadu yn un lle byddwn ni'n esbonio pam wnaethom ni'r penderfyniadau a wnaethom ac yna ei adael i'r ymchwiliad benderfynu a oedd modd amddiffyn y penderfyniadau hynny. Nid wyf i am fynd i ymchwiliad gan geisio cyfiawnhau neu amddiffyn - termau a ddefnyddiodd yr Aelod oedden nhw; nid dyna'r termau y byddaf i'n eu defnyddio. Byddwn yn mynd yno i egluro a byddwn yn darparu'r holl dystiolaeth a allwn o pam wnaethom ni'r penderfyniadau a wnaethom, ac yna mater i'r ymchwiliad, nid i Lywodraeth Cymru, ac os caf i ddweud hynny, nid i arweinydd yr wrthblaid ychwaith, fydd penderfynu a oedd modd amddiffyn y penderfyniadau hynny ai peidio yng nghyd-destun yr adeg y cawson nhw eu gwneud.
