English: I'm very grateful to you, leader of the house, for your response to Siân Gwenllian's question, because I was about to raise the same point, that it is a bit difficult to have a sensible discussion about a framework that one hasn't yet read, but I also take your point that you wish to highlight the fact that the consultation has begun, and I very much welcome your commitment to, at the end of the consultation, bringing your proposals back to this Chamber, so that we can discuss them in some detail. I have one particular question in this context. I very much welcome what you said about reinforcing the Assembly and the Welsh Government's commitment to the social model of disability, which is incredibly important. Your statement refers to the UN convention and refers to other legislation. Would you agree with me, leader of the house - and it refers, in a sense, to some of the points that Mike Hedges has made - that there must be some legal redress for disabled people in Wales when their rights under the new framework are not met? Would you agree with me - and I think everybody in this Chamber would probably agree - that the Equality Act 2010 is not proving a very effective mechanism for disabled people to use when they feel as individuals that their rights are not being met? So, will you agree to give, in the context of the discussions around the new framework, further consideration to the matter we debated last week when we considered the potential of embedding into Welsh law the UN convention, which might then give disabled people rights under Welsh law to seek redress if their needs under the framework were not being met, either by service providers or potentially also by employers?
Welsh: Rwy'n ddiolchgar iawn i chi, arweinydd y Tŷ, am eich ymateb i gwestiwn Siân Gwenllian, oherwydd roeddwn innau am godi'r un pwynt, ei bod braidd yn anodd cael trafodaeth synhwyrol am fframwaith nad oes neb wedi ei ddarllen eto. Ond rwyf hefyd yn derbyn eich pwynt eich bod yn dymuno tynnu sylw at y ffaith bod ymgynghoriad wedi dechrau, ac rwy'n croesawu'n fawr eich ymrwymiad, ar ddiwedd yr ymgynghoriad, i ddod â'ch cynigion yn ôl i'r Siambr hon, fel y gallwn eu trafod gyda pheth manylder. Mae gennyf un cwestiwn penodol yn y cyd-destun hwn. Rwy'n croesawu'n fawr yr hyn yr oeddech yn ei ddweud am atgyfnerthu ymrwymiad y Cynulliad a Llywodraeth Cymru i'r model cymdeithasol o anabledd, sy'n eithriadol o bwysig. Mae eich datganiad yn cyfeirio at Gonfensiwn y Cenhedloedd Unedig ac yn cyfeirio at ddeddfwriaeth arall. A wnewch chi gytuno â mi, arweinydd y tŷ - ac mae hyn yn cyfeirio, ar un ystyr, at rai o'r pwyntiau a wnaeth Mike Hedges - bod yn rhaid cael rhywfaint o iawndal cyfreithiol ar gyfer pobl anabl yng Nghymru pan na fodlonir eu hawliau dan y fframwaith newydd? A wnewch chi gytuno â mi - a chredaf y byddai pawb yn y Siambr hon yn cytuno fwy na thebyg - nad yw Deddf Cydraddoldeb 2010 yn ymddangos yn fecanwaith effeithiol iawn i bobl anabl ei ddefnyddio pan fyddan nhw'n teimlo fel unigolion nad yw eu hawliau yn cael eu bodloni? Felly, a wnewch chi gytuno i roi ystyriaeth bellach i'r mater a drafodwyd gennym yr wythnos diwethaf pan ystyriwyd y posibilrwydd o ymgorffori Confensiwn y Cenhedloedd Unedig i gyfraith Cymru, yng nghyd-destun y trafodaethau ar y fframwaith newydd, a allai roi i bobl anabl hawliau dan gyfraith Cymru i geisio iawndal os nad yw eu hanghenion o dan y fframwaith yn cael eu diwallu, naill ai gan ddarparwyr gwasanaethau neu o bosibl gan gyflogwyr hefyd?
