English: I thank Hefin David for those questions, Dirprwy Lywydd. Opening hours are unchanged; close-contact services will reopen after Christmas and will have to operate now within the new regime. Driving tests are not under the control of the Welsh Government, because they are set by a UK agency. Driving lessons can continue in Wales, but there have to be proper mitigations, because it is inevitable that you are sitting in close proximity to somebody else. I thank the Member for what he pointed out about the fact that the regime that has caused some concern is not a new regime and was endorsed by the Senedd at the start of the pandemic. People who have become alarmed by what I regard as not very helpful reporting of all of this can rely on the fact that any penalties could only possibly fall on somebody who perversely insists on being in a workplace when it is completely clear that they could successfully work from home. Every message that we have had from the Wales TUC through the whole of the pandemic has been that the protections for workers have not always been sufficient, where people feel they are being called back into the workplace where the reasonable measures regime has not been properly put in place. These regulations give those workers an extra protection; they are able to say to the employer, 'I cannot come to work on those terms, because, if I were to do so, I would be committing an offence, and you cannot put me in that position.' Now, if people need advice in their own individual circumstances, then my advice to them always would be to make sure they're a member of a trade union and they can get the advice that that trade union will provide. And as well as the TUC being at the social partnership council this morning, the big unions that represent the bulk of employees who might be affected were all there as well. And as I said in my opening statement, Dirprwy Lywydd, I'm really grateful for the indication from employers and the trade union movement that they would all be sending out advice to their members this afternoon to make it clear that they regard the regulations as helpful, provided they are properly understood and used in the way that they are intended.
Welsh: Diolch i Hefin David am y cwestiynau hynny, Ddirprwy Lywydd. Nid yw'r oriau agor wedi newid; bydd gwasanaethau cyswllt agos yn ailagor ar ôl y Nadolig a bydd yn rhaid iddynt weithredu o dan y drefn newydd yn awr. Nid yw profion gyrru o dan reolaeth Llywodraeth Cymru, oherwydd eu bod yn cael eu trefnu gan un o asiantaethau'r DU. Gall gwersi gyrru barhau yng Nghymru, ond mae'n rhaid cael camau lliniaru priodol, oherwydd mae'n anochel eich bod yn eistedd yn agos at rywun arall. Diolch i'r Aelod am nodi'r ffaith nad yw'r drefn sydd wedi achosi rhywfaint o bryder yn drefn newydd a'i bod wedi'i chymeradwyo gan y Senedd ar ddechrau'r pandemig. Gall pobl sydd wedi cael eu dychryn gan yr hyn a ystyriaf yn ffordd ddi-fudd o adrodd am hyn i gyd ddibynnu ar y ffaith mai dim ond rhywun sy'n mynnu bod mewn gweithle pan fydd yn gwbl glir y gallent weithio'n llwyddiannus gartref a allai wynebu cosb. Mae pob neges a gawsom gan TUC Cymru drwy'r holl bandemig wedi dweud nad yw'r mesurau diogelwch i weithwyr wedi bod yn ddigonol bob amser, lle mae pobl yn teimlo eu bod yn cael eu galw'n ôl i'r gweithle heb fod y drefn mesurau rhesymol wedi'i rhoi ar waith yn briodol. Mae'r rheoliadau hyn yn rhoi amddiffyniad ychwanegol i'r gweithwyr hynny; gallant ddweud wrth y cyflogwr, 'Ni allaf ddod i weithio ar y telerau hynny, oherwydd, pe bawn yn gwneud hynny, byddwn yn cyflawni trosedd, ac ni allwch fy rhoi yn y sefyllfa honno.' Nawr, os oes angen cyngor ar bobl yn eu hamgylchiadau unigol eu hunain, fy nghyngor i iddynt bob amser fyddai sicrhau eu bod yn aelod o undeb llafur a gallant gael y cyngor y bydd yr undeb llafur hwnnw'n ei ddarparu. Ac yn ogystal â bod y TUC yng nghyngor y bartneriaeth gymdeithasol y bore yma, roedd yr undebau mawr sy'n cynrychioli'r rhan fwyaf o weithwyr a allai gael eu heffeithio i gyd yno hefyd. Ac fel y dywedais yn fy natganiad agoriadol, Ddirprwy Lywydd, rwy'n ddiolchgar iawn am yr awgrym gan gyflogwyr a'r mudiad undebau llafur y byddent i gyd yn anfon cyngor at eu haelodau y prynhawn yma i'w gwneud yn glir eu bod yn ystyried bod y rheoliadau'n ddefnyddiol, ar yr amod eu bod yn cael eu deall a'u defnyddio'n briodol yn y ffordd a fwriedir.
