English: The consolidation brings in a number of pieces of legislation that go back well before devolution, but as you'll see from section 1 of the Bill, which provides an overview, it sets out, really, what the legislation contains, but also what the objective and what the purpose of the consolidation is and how that will operate. So, the Standing Orders that we work to allow us to restate the law; they allow us to clarify the law; to remove those obsolete pieces of legislation, bits of legislation that really have no relevance; it can make minor changes where they're necessary - I mean, sometimes in terms of the gendered nature of some of the older legislation; and, of course, making some changes recommended by the Law Commission that are appropriate for consolidation. It can also effectively exclude obsolete, spent or bits of past legislation that have no practical purpose - some pieces that have never ever been implemented. So, it brings together the Historic Buildings and Ancient Monuments Act 1953. It doesn't quite go back as far as the areas that you covered in your speech - I think that's completely understandable. It brings together Parts I and III of the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979. It brings together bits of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 and Part 4 of the Historic Environment (Wales) Act 2016, and it restates certain bits of legislation that are relevant to this area in respect of town and country planning, planning and compulsory purchase. And, in presenting the Bill, of course, as well as the explanatory memorandum, there are tables that basically set out and identify where the various bits of legislation have come from. But, as I say, this is not about reforming or changing the law; it's about bringing the existing law into a single place, and that will be the challenge. This is a test and, as has been identified already by the First Minister, this is the first of these pieces of consolidation legislation. It shouldn't impact in terms of any issues in terms of the historic record, because all it is doing is bringing forward those parts of legislation that are already in existence. And in terms of the concerns that have been raised previously with regard to whether there are complex implications in terms of resources and capacity and so on, I think the exact opposite is the effect. I think this actually simplifies matters. Certainly, we wouldn't want to bring a consolidation Bill that actually made things more complex or incurred additional cost, and in actual fact, this should be something that actually reduces costs. It makes it easier for lawyers to understand, it makes it easier for those who practise within the area, or who engage with the area of historic environment, to operate more efficiently, more simply and with less cost. And with regard to, I suppose, the point you're making about those organisations, such as Cadw, for example - the historic environment organisations - of course this consolidation Bill is not appropriate for a consultation in the same way as reforming legislation, because what you're doing is really just talking about bringing the existing legislation into one place, but there was a working party that was brought together of relevant bodies to really look at the legislation and to be satisfied with the overall direction of that. Certainly, all the indications I have are that that is something that is very much supported, that this consolidation Bill is very much welcomed by those in the historic environment arena, that they are in the process themselves of making changes to actually put on their websites the legislation and the changes that take place. So, I hope that has answered all the key points that you've raised.
Welsh: Mae'r cydgrynhoi'n cyflwyno sawl darn o ddeddfwriaeth sy'n mynd yn ôl ymhell cyn datganoli, ond fel y gwelwch chi o adran 1 o'r Bil, sy'n rhoi trosolwg, mae'n nodi, mewn gwirionedd, beth yw'r ddeddfwriaeth, ond hefyd beth yw'r amcan a beth yw diben y cydgrynhoi a sut y bydd hynny'n gweithredu. Felly, y Rheolau Sefydlog yr ydym ni'n gweithio gyda nhw i ganiatáu inni ailddatgan y gyfraith; maen nhw'n caniatáu inni egluro'r gyfraith; dileu'r darnau hynny o ddeddfwriaeth sydd wedi darfod, darnau o ddeddfwriaeth nad ydyn nhw'n berthnasol mewn gwirionedd; gall wneud mân newidiadau lle mae angen - weithiau o ran iaith ryweddedig rhai o'r ddeddfwriaeth hŷn; ac, wrth gwrs, gwneud rhai newidiadau a argymhellir gan Gomisiwn y Gyfraith sy'n briodol i'w cydgrynhoi. Gall hefyd i bob diben eithrio deddfwriaeth na chaiff ei harfer mwyach, sydd wedi dyddio neu ddarnau o ddeddfwriaeth yn y gorffennol nad oes ganddyn nhw unrhyw ddiben ymarferol - rhai darnau nad ydyn nhw erioed wedi'u gweithredu. Felly, mae'n dwyn ynghyd Ddeddf Adeiladau Hanesyddol a Henebion 1953. Nid yw'n mynd yn ôl cyn belled â'r meysydd yr oeddech chi'n ymdrin â nhw yn eich araith - credaf fod hynny'n gwbl ddealladwy. Mae'n dwyn ynghyd Rhannau I a III o Ddeddf Henebion ac Ardaloedd Archeolegol 1979. Mae'n dwyn ynghyd darnau o Ddeddf Cynllunio (Adeiladau Rhestredig ac Ardaloedd Cadwraeth) 1990 a Rhan 4 o Ddeddf yr Amgylchedd Hanesyddol (Cymru) 2016, ac mae'n ailddatgan rhai darnau o ddeddfwriaeth sy'n berthnasol i'r maes yma mewn perthynas â chynllunio gwlad a thref, cynllunio a phrynu gorfodol. Ac, wrth gyflwyno'r Bil, wrth gwrs, yn ogystal â'r memorandwm esboniadol, mae tablau sy'n sylfaenol yn nodi ac yn dangos o ble y daeth y gwahanol ddarnau o ddeddfwriaeth. Ond, fel y dywedais i, nid yw hyn yn ymwneud â diwygio neu newid y gyfraith; mae'n ymwneud â dod â'r gyfraith bresennol i un lle, a dyna fydd yr her. Prawf yw hwn ac, fel y nodwyd eisoes gan y Prif Weinidog, dyma'r cyntaf o'r darnau hyn o ddeddfwriaeth gydgrynhoi. Ni ddylai effeithio o ran unrhyw faterion o ran y cofnod hanesyddol, oherwydd y cyfan y mae'n ei wneud yw cyflwyno'r rhannau hynny o ddeddfwriaeth sydd eisoes yn bodoli. Ac o ran y pryderon a godwyd o'r blaen o ran a oes goblygiadau cymhleth ynghylch adnoddau a chapasiti ac yn y blaen, credaf mai'r gwrthwyneb yn union yw'r effaith. Credaf fod hyn mewn gwirionedd yn symleiddio pethau. Yn sicr, fyddem ni ddim eisiau dod â Bil cydgrynhoi a oedd mewn gwirionedd yn gwneud pethau'n fwy cymhleth neu'n creu costau ychwanegol, ac mewn gwirionedd, dylai hyn fod yn rhywbeth sy'n lleihau costau mewn gwirionedd. Mae'n ei gwneud yn haws i gyfreithwyr ddeall, mae'n ei gwneud yn haws i'r rhai sy'n ymarfer yn y maes, neu sy'n ymwneud â'r maes amgylchedd hanesyddol, weithredu'n fwy effeithlon, yn fwy syml a gyda llai o gost. Ac o ran, mae'n debyg, y sylw yr ydych chi'n ei wneud am y sefydliadau hynny, megis Cadw, er enghraifft - sefydliadau'r amgylchedd hanesyddol - wrth gwrs, nid yw'r Bil cydgrynhoi hwn yn briodol ar gyfer ymgynghoriad yn yr un modd â diwygio deddfwriaeth, oherwydd yr hyn yr ydych yn ei wneud mewn gwirionedd yw sôn am ddod â'r ddeddfwriaeth bresennol i un lle, ond roedd gweithgor a ddygwyd ynghyd o gyrff perthnasol i edrych yn fanwl ar y ddeddfwriaeth ac i fod yn fodlon â chyfeiriad cyffredinol hynny. Yn sicr, yr holl argoelion sydd gennyf i yw bod hynny'n rhywbeth a gefnogir yn fawr, bod croeso mawr i'r Bil cydgrynhoi hwn gan y rheini ym maes yr amgylchedd hanesyddol, eu bod yn y broses eu hunain o wneud newidiadau i roi'r ddeddfwriaeth a'r newidiadau fydd yn digwydd ar eu gwefannau. Felly, gobeithio bod hynny wedi ateb yr holl sylwadau allweddol a wnaethoch chi.
