English: I thank you for those supplementary points, and, of course, at every opportunity we do actually raise these issues, and we have made them at the inter-ministerial meetings as well. The point you raise, in fact, about the various legislation that's been passed, of course, has been something we've discussed on a number of occasions. You'll recall, of course, the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act. There were a number of elements to that that we opposed, that we refused legislative consent to. Some of those were overturned. But, of course, the House of Lords also removed elements to it, and it's very disappointing that, within the legislative programme of the UK Government, there is to be a protest Bill that brings back all of those areas that were of real concern to us, which are restrictions on civil liberties and freedom of speech. There was a very important article, I think, that has just appeared in the Constitution Unit blog, and it raised four points that I think are really significant in understanding what is happening. They're talking about the eroding of democracy constitutionally, and they call it 'democratic backsliding'. It said that it starts off with four things, and I will just perhaps mention these because perhaps Members would want to judge whether they think they apply to the situation at the moment. They said the first one is a breakdown in the norms of political behaviour and standards. I don't think we need to look very far to see that item. Secondly, there's the disempowerment of the legislature, the courts and independent regulators. Well, we see that in the bill of rights, the attempt to achieve that, and indeed in other legislation. Third is a reduction of civil liberties and press freedoms, and we've already seen the actual restrictions in civil liberties that have already been introduced in items of legislation. And fourthly, harm to the integrity of the electoral system, and we've seen that already within the elections Bill. I think that those four points all have credit to them and are something that should cause us considerable concern in the direction of the UK Government at this moment in time.
Welsh: Diolch ichi am y pwyntiau atodol hynny, ac wrth gwrs, rydym yn bachu ar bob cyfle i godi'r materion hyn, ac rydym wedi'u gwneud yn y cyfarfodydd rhyngweinidogol hefyd. Mae'r pwynt a wnewch am y gwahanol ddeddfwriaeth sydd wedi'i phasio wedi bod yn rhywbeth a drafodwyd gennym droeon wrth gwrs. Fe gofiwch Ddeddf yr Heddlu, Troseddu, Dedfrydu a'r Llysoedd wrth gwrs. Roedd nifer o elfennau yn honno yr oeddem yn eu gwrthwynebu, y gwrthodasom gydsyniad deddfwriaethol iddynt. Cafodd rhai o'r rheini eu gwrthdroi. Ond wrth gwrs, fe wnaeth Tŷ'r Arglwyddi ddileu elfennau ohoni hefyd, ac mae'n siomedig iawn, o fewn rhaglen ddeddfwriaethol Llywodraeth y DU, y bydd Bil protest sy'n ailgyflwyno'r holl feysydd a oedd o bryder gwirioneddol i ni, sy'n gyfyngiadau ar hawliau sifil a rhyddid i lefaru. Roedd yna erthygl bwysig iawn, sydd newydd ymddangos ym mlog Uned y Cyfansoddiad, ac fe gododd bedwar pwynt sydd, yn fy marn i, yn arwyddocaol iawn wrth ddeall beth sy'n digwydd. Maent yn sôn am erydu democratiaeth yn gyfansoddiadol, ac maent yn ei alw'n 'wrthgilio democrataidd'. Dywedodd ei fod yn dechrau gyda phedwar peth, ac os caf grybwyll y rhain oherwydd efallai y byddai Aelodau am farnu a ydynt yn credu eu bod yn berthnasol i'r sefyllfa ar hyn o bryd. Dywedasant mai'r cyntaf yw methiant normau ymddygiad gwleidyddol a safonau. Nid wyf yn credu bod angen inni edrych yn bell iawn i weld yr eitem honno. Yn ail, ceir dadrymuso'r ddeddfwrfa, y llysoedd a rheoleiddwyr annibynnol. Wel, gwelwn hynny yn y bil hawliau, yr ymgais i gyflawni hynny, ac yn wir mewn deddfwriaeth arall. Yn drydydd, lleihau hawliau sifil a rhyddid y wasg, ac rydym eisoes wedi gweld y cyfyngiadau ar hawliau sifil sydd eisoes wedi'u cyflwyno mewn eitemau o ddeddfwriaeth. Ac yn bedwerydd, niwed i uniondeb y system etholiadol, ac rydym wedi gweld hynny eisoes yn y Bil etholiadau. Credaf fod pob un o'r pedwar pwynt yn ddilys ac yn rhywbeth a ddylai beri cryn bryder inni wrth ystyried cyfeiriad Llywodraeth y DU ar hyn o bryd.
