English: There are very considerable benefits to the codification programme, and I don't hesitate, as I've said in this Chamber, to identify the fact that it couldn't come at a more difficult time - at a time when we have all the demands on resources, legal resources, around the issues of Brexit, issues around the great repeal Bill and all the demands that will be made there, and at a time when financial resources are very strictly limited. That having been said, it is very important, I think, to the business community, for example, that we have a codification of planning law, and of course, there is significant work that is already under way with the Law Commission in that respect. I think we will also need to look at our own procedures in respect of codification, and possibly legislation, because starting the codification route is not something you can dip in and out of. It has to be a consistent approach, because what we are doing is simplifying and codifying Welsh law, and Welsh law that will be growing and will undoubtedly be leading towards the issue of a jurisdiction. Of very considerable importance to me is not only the simplification and the advantages that will exist in respect of business for that particular purpose, but to look very closely at the issue of access to law, and that is that people have access to the law, that people can understand that law, and that, as far as possible, there is advice and representation available for people to actually take up their rights in law. These are areas that are very, very difficult. Some areas are not devolved areas, but this is a new road for us to go down as we create a new legislative framework. I have a number of meetings that are planned in respect of this process, and I look forward to reporting in much more detail on the progress that we are making as it arises.
Welsh: Mae manteision sylweddol iawn i'r rhaglen gyfundrefnu, ac nid wyf yn petruso, fel y dywedais yn y Siambr hon, rhag nodi'r ffaith na allai ddod ar amser anoddach - ar adeg pan fo cymaint o alw am adnoddau, adnoddau cyfreithiol, mewn perthynas â materion Brexit, materion yn ymwneud â'r Bil diddymu mawr a'r holl ofynion a geir yn hynny o beth, ac ar adeg pan fo adnoddau ariannol yn gyfyngedig iawn. Ar ôl dweud hynny, mae'n bwysig iawn, rwy'n meddwl, i'r gymuned fusnes, er enghraifft, fod cyfraith gynllunio wedi'i chodeiddio, ac wrth gwrs, mae gwaith sylweddol eisoes ar y gweill gyda Chomisiwn y Gyfraith yn hynny o beth. Rwy'n credu hefyd y bydd angen i ni edrych ar ein gweithdrefnau ein hunain mewn perthynas â chodeiddio, a deddfwriaeth o bosibl, gan nad yw cychwyn ar y llwybr codeiddio yn rhywbeth y gallwch gamu i mewn ac allan ohono. Rhaid iddo fod yn waith cyson, gan mai'r hyn a wnawn yw symleiddio a chodeiddio cyfraith Cymru, a chyfraith Cymru a fydd yn tyfu ac yn arwain yn ddi-os at fater awdurdodaeth. Rwy'n ei hystyried hi'n bwysig iawn nid yn unig ein bod yn symleiddio a'r manteision a geir mewn perthynas â busnes i'r diben hwnnw, ond ein bod yn edrych yn agos iawn hefyd ar fynediad at y gyfraith, sef bod pobl yn gallu dod i gysylltiad â'r gyfraith, fod pobl yn gallu deall y gyfraith honno, a hyd y bo modd, fod cyngor a chynrychiolaeth ar gael i bobl allu manteisio ar eu hawliau yn y gyfraith mewn gwirionedd. Mae'r rhain yn feysydd anodd tu hwnt. Nid yw rhai o'r meysydd wedi'u datganoli, ond mae hon yn ffordd newydd i ni fynd ar hyd-ddi wrth i ni greu fframwaith deddfwriaethol newydd. Mae gennyf nifer o gyfarfodydd wedi'u cynllunio mewn perthynas â'r broses hon, ac edrychaf ymlaen at adrodd yn llawer mwy manwl ar y cynnydd a wnawn wrth iddi ddatblygu.
