English: Thank you, Minister. The Minister for International Relations and the Welsh Language told the External Affairs and Additional Legislation Committee recently that your Government is developing red lines in relation to devolved areas that it does not wish to be included in future trade agreements. Minister, can you tell us what those red lines are? She also told us that the Welsh Government would be willing to take the UK Government to court if it tried to sell off the Welsh NHS as part of a future trade agreement with the US. But, as you will know, under section 82 of the Wales Act, the Secretary of State has the power to direct Welsh Ministers to implement directives contained within agreements that fall outside their devolved competence. Could you, therefore, please assure us what actions your Government could take were the UK Government to invoke section 82 in order to try to force Welsh Government Ministers to implement damaging measures that they don't agree with, and whether this would involve possibly taking the UK Government to court, as your colleague the international relations Minister has indicated?
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr, Weinidog. Dywedodd Gweinidog y Gymraeg a Chysylltiadau Rhyngwladol wrth y Pwyllgor Materion Allanol a Deddfwriaeth Ychwanegol yn ddiweddar fod eich Llywodraeth yn datblygu llinellau coch mewn perthynas â meysydd datganoledig nad yw'n dymuno iddynt gael eu cynnwys mewn cytundebau masnach yn y dyfodol. Weinidog, a allwch ddweud wrthym beth yw'r llinellau coch hynny? Dywedodd wrthym hefyd y byddai Llywodraeth Cymru yn fodlon mynd â Llywodraeth y DU i'r llys pe bai'n ceisio gwerthu GIG Cymru fel rhan o gytundeb masnach â'r Unol Daleithiau yn y dyfodol. Ond fel y gwyddoch, o dan adran 82 o Ddeddf Cymru, mae gan yr Ysgrifennydd Gwladol bŵer i gyfarwyddo Gweinidogion Cymru i weithredu cyfarwyddebau a geir o fewn cytundebau nad ydynt yn rhan o'u cymhwysedd datganoledig. A allech roi sicrwydd inni felly ynglŷn â pha gamau y gallai eich Llywodraeth eu cymryd pe bai Llywodraeth y DU yn gweithredu adran 82 er mwyn ceisio gorfodi Gweinidogion Llywodraeth Cymru i weithredu mesurau niweidiol nad ydynt yn cytuno â hwy, ac a fyddai hyn yn golygu mynd â Llywodraeth y DU i'r llys o bosibl, fel y nododd eich cyd-Aelod, y Gweinidog cysylltiadau rhyngwladol?
English: We have supported small and micro businesses through the Brexit resilience grant and are providing preparedness information with businesses and stakeholders, particularly through our websites. We are in constant dialogue with key organisations representing the interests and concerns of small businesses, several of whom are represented on the EU exit working group, a sub-committee of our council for economic development.
Welsh: Rydym wedi cefnogi busnesau bach a microfusnesau drwy grant cydnerthedd Brexit ac yn darparu gwybodaeth am barodrwydd gyda busnesau a rhanddeiliaid, yn enwedig drwy ein gwefannau. Rydym yn trafod yn barhaus â sefydliadau allweddol sy'n cynrychioli buddiannau a phryderon busnesau bach, y cynrychiolir nifer ohonynt ar weithgor ymadael yr UE, un o is-bwyllgorau ein cyngor datblygu economaidd.
English: Thank you for your answer, Minister. I'm sure you would agree with me that it is, obviously, vital to engage with businesses across Wales in preparation for Brexit. You mentioned that you have been talking to some of the key organisations and they are around the table in your meetings also. But I'm particularly concerned about small, independent businesses that might not be members of such institutions as the Confederation of British Industry and the Federation of Small Businesses. How are you engaging with those kinds of groups that are not in membership bodies?
Welsh: Diolch ichi am eich ateb, Weinidog. Rwy'n siŵr y byddech yn cytuno â mi ei bod yn hanfodol ymgysylltu â busnesau ledled Cymru, wrth gwrs, er mwyn paratoi ar gyfer Brexit. Fe sonioch eich bod wedi bod yn siarad â rhai o'r sefydliadau allweddol ac maent o amgylch y bwrdd yn eich cyfarfodydd hefyd. Ond rwy'n pryderu'n arbennig am fusnesau bach, annibynnol nad ydynt o bosibl yn aelodau o sefydliadau fel Cydffederasiwn Diwydiant Prydain a'r Ffederasiwn Busnesau Bach. Sut yr ymgysylltwch â'r mathau hynny o grwpiau nad ydynt yn perthyn i gyrff aelodaeth?
English: The chaos in the UK Government means it's hugely difficult to schedule meetings during recess, the beginning of which coincides with the appointment of a new Prime Minister. I hope the incoming Prime Minister will continue the practice of inviting Welsh Government to be represented at the UK Cabinet meetings when they discuss Brexit preparedness, and we stand ready to attend during recess and beyond. Our focus in the coming weeks will be continuing to prepare for a possible 'no deal' Brexit that, contrary to the views of those wishing to be the next Conservative Prime Minister, would be catastrophic.
Welsh: Mae'r anhrefn yn Llywodraeth y DU yn golygu ei bod yn eithriadol o anodd trefnu cyfarfodydd yn ystod y toriad, ac mae dechrau'r broses honno'n cyd-daro â phenodi Prif Weinidog newydd. Rwy'n gobeithio y bydd y Prif Weinidog newydd yn parhau â'r arfer o wahodd Llywodraeth Cymru i gael ei chynrychioli yng nghyfarfodydd Cabinet y DU pan fyddant yn trafod parodrwydd ar gyfer Brexit, ac rydym yn barod i ddod i'r cyfarfod yn ystod y toriad a thu hwnt. Yn ystod yr wythnosau nesaf byddwn yn canolbwyntio ar barhau i baratoi ar gyfer y posibilrwydd o Brexit 'dim bargen', a fyddai'n drychinebus, yn groes i farn y rhai sy'n dymuno bod yn Brif Weinidog Ceidwadol nesaf.
English: Thank you for that response, Minister. I'm taking it from that response that you have no meetings scheduled over the summer recess. Am I correct in saying that?
Welsh: Diolch ichi am yr ateb hwnnw, Weinidog. Rwy'n cymryd o'r ymateb nad oes gennych unrhyw gyfarfodydd wedi'u trefnu dros doriad yr haf. A wyf yn gywir i ddweud hynny?
English: I have meetings, both scheduled and in my diary. But as I made clear to the Member, getting focus from UK Government Ministers to put in place the sequence of meetings one might wish to see over the coming weeks has been a challenge because the UK Government is facing obviously very significant change as a consequence of the change of Prime Minister.
Welsh: Mae gennyf gyfarfodydd, wedi'u trefnu ac yn fy nyddiadur. Ond fel yr eglurais i'r Aelod, mae cael sylw gan Weinidogion Llywodraeth y DU i bennu'r gyfres o gyfarfodydd y byddai rhywun am eu gweld dros yr wythnosau i ddod wedi bod yn her gan fod Llywodraeth y DU yn amlwg yn wynebu newid arwyddocaol iawn o ganlyniad i newid Prif Weinidog.
English: Legal aid provision is the responsibility of the UK Government and has been subject to substantial cuts since the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 was introduced. We are concerned that the economic damage of Brexit may result in further cuts, which would further impede access to justice.
Welsh: Cyfrifoldeb Llywodraeth y DU yw darparu cymorth cyfreithiol a bu'n destun toriadau sylweddol ers cyflwyno Deddf Cymorth Cyfreithiol, Dedfrydu a Chosbi Troseddwyr 2012. Rydym yn pryderu y gallai difrod economaidd Brexit arwain at doriadau pellach, a fyddai'n rhwystro mynediad at gyfiawnder ymhellach.
English: I thank you for that. But since that introduction of legal aid cuts by the Westminster Government over six years ago, the number of parents having to represent themselves now in child custody cases has more than doubled. Many families simply cannot afford to pay for legal representation, and are having to navigate complex issues alone without any understanding of that law. This, of course, is putting tremendous pressure on families and campaigners have said, and I quote, 'children's best interests are being "obscured"'. Brexit has the potential to affect every aspect of life in the UK, including the UK's legal framework. Therefore, Counsel General, what discussions have you had with the UK Government about how Brexit will impact families who currently qualify for legal aid in the family court?
Welsh: Diolch ichi am hynny. Ond ers cyflwyno toriadau cymorth cyfreithiol gan Lywodraeth San Steffan dros chwe blynedd yn ôl, mae nifer y rhieni sy'n gorfod cynrychioli eu hunain yn awr mewn achosion gwarchodaeth plant wedi mwy na dyblu. Mae llawer o deuluoedd yn methu fforddio talu am gynrychiolaeth gyfreithiol, ac maent yn gorfod llywio materion cymhleth ar eu pen eu hunain heb unrhyw ddealltwriaeth o'r gyfraith honno. Mae hyn, wrth gwrs, yn rhoi pwysau aruthrol ar deuluoedd ac mae ymgyrchwyr wedi dweud, ac rwy'n dyfynnu, fod lles pennaf plant yn cael ei wneud yn "aneglur". Mae gan Brexit botensial i effeithio ar bob agwedd ar fywyd yn y DU, gan gynnwys fframwaith cyfreithiol y DU. Felly, Gwnsler Cyffredinol, pa drafodaethau a gawsoch gyda Llywodraeth y DU ynghylch y modd y bydd Brexit yn effeithio ar deuluoedd sydd ar hyn o bryd yn gymwys i gael cymorth cyfreithiol yn y llys teulu?
English: Minister, Brexit tends to generate far more heat than light these days, with rumours and claims and counter-claims swirling around, and I think it behoves us all to try to learn the realities that are there on the ground. Our parliamentary colleagues in Westminster - there's a group called the Young Legal Aid Lawyers who have taken some 45 Members with them, out shadowing them, out on the ground doing legal aid, really understanding what the issues are that are facing them, and the challenges ahead with Brexit and for families, no matter what the outcome may be. Members of that group include, for example, the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State with responsibility for legal aid and the shadow Secretary of State for Wales. Would you consider supporting this group and perhaps trying to bring just such an initiative here to Wales so that we may also go out and learn that reality?
Welsh: Weinidog, mae Brexit yn tueddu i gynhyrchu llawer mwy o wres na golau y dyddiau hyn, gyda sïon a honiadau a gwrth-honiadau'n chwyrlïo o'n hamgylch, ac rwy'n credu ei bod yn ddyletswydd ar bob un ohonom i geisio dysgu'r gwirioneddau sydd yno ar lawr gwlad. Ein cyd-Aelodau Seneddol yn San Steffan - ceir grŵp o'r enw Cyfreithwyr Cymorth Cyfreithiol Ifanc sydd wedi mynd â thua 45 o aelodau gyda hwy, i'w cysgodi, allan ar lawr gwlad i wneud cymorth cyfreithiol, a deall yn iawn beth yw'r problemau sy'n eu hwynebu, a'r heriau o'u blaenau gyda Brexit ac i deuluoedd, ni waeth beth fydd y canlyniad. Mae aelodau'r grŵp hwnnw'n cynnwys, er enghraifft, yr Is-Ysgrifennydd Gwladol Seneddol sy'n gyfrifol am gymorth cyfreithiol ac Ysgrifennydd Gwladol yr wrthblaid dros Gymru. A fyddech yn ystyried cefnogi'r grŵp hwn a cheisio cyflwyno menter o'r fath yma yng Nghymru o bosibl, er mwyn i ninnau hefyd allu mynd allan a dysgu'r realiti hwnnw?
English: I thank the Member for that question and for the way in which she presented it, if I may say, and I share the sentiment that she started the question with. I would be very happy to look at the work of that group and see how I can support their work or get engaged with what they are doing. I'd be very happy to look into that, and I thank her for making that suggestion.
Welsh: Diolch i'r Aelod am y cwestiwn hwnnw ac am y modd y'i cyflwynodd, os caf ddweud, a rhannaf ei theimlad ar ddechrau ei chwestiwn. Buaswn yn hapus iawn i edrych ar waith y grŵp hwnnw a gweld sut y gallaf gefnogi eu gwaith neu gymryd rhan yn yr hyn y maent yn ei wneud. Buaswn yn hapus iawn i edrych ar hynny, a diolch iddi am wneud yr awgrym hwnnw.
English: I have had numerous discussions in relation to United Kingdom governance arrangements post Brexit, most recently at the Joint Ministerial Committee (European Negotiations) meeting on 28 June.
Welsh: Rwyf wedi cynnal nifer o drafodaethau yn ymwneud â threfniadau llywodraethu'r Deyrnas Unedig ar ôl Brexit, a'r mwyaf diweddar o'r rhain oedd cyfarfod Cyd-bwyllgor y Gweinidogion (Negodiadau Ewrop) ar 28 Mehefin.
English: I'm grateful to the Minister for that response. As you'll be aware, the Constitutional and Legislative Affairs Committee did a piece of work last year, and the committee published a report called 'UK governance post-Brexit', and in that report it was recommended that the Llywydd, along with spokespeople and speakers from the other Parliaments and legislatures of the UK, should establish a speakers' conference with the aim of deciding on the best way of developing inter-parliamentary co-operation within the UK. The purpose of this conference would be to consider how to develop joint working between Governments within the UK post Brexit, in order to ensure that the correct frameworks are developed for the future. I understand that models of a speakers' conference are being considered at the moment, but can you as a Government tell us what discussions you've had on this particular idea and also, following on from an earlier question from the Member for Blaenau Gwent, do you think that this is an effective way of ensuring that the correct inter-parliamentary mechanisms are put in place for the future?
Welsh: Dwi'n ddiolchgar i'r Gweinidog am yr ymateb yna. Fel y byddwch chi'n ymwybodol, gwnaeth y Pwyllgor Materion Cyfansoddiadol a Deddfwriaethol ddarn o waith y llynedd a chyhoeddodd y pwyllgor adroddiad o'r enw 'Llywodraethiant yn y DU ar ôl gadael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd', ac yn yr adroddiad yma argymhellwyd y dylai'r Llywydd, ar y cyd â llefaryddion a llywyddion deddfwrfeydd eraill y Deyrnas Unedig, sefydlu cynhadledd y llefaryddion gyda'r nod o benderfynu ar y ffordd orau o ddatblygu gweithio rhyng-seneddol yn y Deyrnas Unedig. Pwrpas y gynhadledd yma fyddai ystyried sut i ddatblygu gweithio ar y cyd rhwng y Llywodraethau y tu fewn i'r Deyrnas Unedig ar ôl gadael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd, er mwyn sicrhau bod fframweithiau cywir yn cael eu datblygu yn y dyfodol. Dwi'n deall bod modelau o gynhadledd y llefaryddion yn cael eu hystyried ar hyn o bryd, ond allwch chi fel Llywodraeth ddweud wrthym ni pa drafodaethau rŷch chi wedi'u cael ynglŷn â'r syniad yma, a hefyd, yn dilyn ymlaen o gwestiwn cynharach oddi wrth yr Aelod dros Flaenau Gwent, ydych chi'n meddwl bod hyn yn ffordd effeithiol i sicrhau bod mecanweithiau rhyng-seneddol cywir yn cael eu sefydlu yn y dyfodol?
English: That's a very important question. We have a long way to go in dealing with the changes that will come following Brexit to ensure that the constitutional settlement and the relationship between the nations of the United Kingdom work in a better way than they do at present. Our focus as a Government, on the whole, has been mainly on how the mechanics work between the Governments, because that's our constitutional remit, but an integral part of that is how the Governments are accountable to the legislatures. And part of that, certainly, is - and we've seen the benefit of this in discussions - how the committees specifically within the legislatures have been calling for greater opportunities to scrutinise and develop new systems and ways in which we can do that in the context of Brexit. I am aware of the work that is going on as regards the inter-relationships between the legislatures. It's a matter for the Assembly and the Llywydd constitutionally, but that kind of creativity and imagination on how we re-form the relationship between the nations of the United Kingdom is completely core to a stable constitutional system post Brexit.
Welsh: Mae'r cwestiwn yna'n gwestiwn pwysig. Mae gyda ni lot o ffordd i fynd i ddelio â'r newidiadau a ddaw yn sgil Brexit i sicrhau bod y setliad cyfansoddiadol a'r berthynas rhwng cenhedloedd y Deyrnas Unedig yn gweithio mewn ffyrdd gwell nag ŷn nhw nawr. Mae ein ffocws ni fel Llywodraeth wedi bod, ar y cyfan, ar sut mae'r mecanwaith rhwng y Llywodraethau yn gweithio, oherwydd dyna'n remit cyfansoddiadol ni, ond rhan hollol gynhenid o hynny yw'r broses o sut mae'r Llywodraethau yn atebol i'w deddfwrfeydd. A rhan o hynny, yn sicr, yw - ac rŷm ni wedi gweld mantais hyn yn trafodaethau - sut mae'r pwyllgorau'n benodol yn y deddfwrfeydd wedi bod yn galw am fwy o gyfleoedd i graffu a datblygu systemau a ffyrdd newydd o wneud hynny yng nghyd-destun Brexit. Rwy'n ymwybodol o'r gwaith sydd ar y cyd ynglŷn â'r perthnasau rhwng y deddfwrfeydd. Mater i'r Cynulliad ac i'r Llywydd yw'r rheini yn gyfansoddiadol, ond, wrth gwrs, mae'r math yna o greadigrwydd a dychymyg ynglŷn â sut rŷm ni'n ail-ffurfio'r berthynas rhwng cenhedloedd y Deyrnas Unedig yn hollol graidd i system gyfansoddiadol sefydlog yn y dyfodol ar ôl Brexit.
English: The Welsh Government is doing all it can to support businesses in preparations for EU exit through advice, guidance and resources that we and the Development Bank of Wales are making available. However, no preparations can fully mitigate the effects of a 'no deal' Brexit.
Welsh: Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn gwneud popeth y gall i helpu busnesau i baratoi ar gyfer ymadael â'r UE drwy gyngor, canllawiau ac adnoddau yr ydym ni a Banc Datblygu Cymru yn eu darparu. Fodd bynnag, ni all unrhyw baratoadau liniaru effeithiau Brexit 'dim bargen' yn llawn.
English: The Federation of Small Businesses is already reporting that businesses in Cardiff Central are suffering from things like exchange-rate fluctuations, which is making it incredibly difficult for people to be able to price their goods accurately without the danger of making a loss. We've got construction companies who are losing staff because people are returning to their countries of origin, and smaller IT companies are reporting that they are struggling to source stock, because larger IT companies are stockpiling materials and equipment. I think it's a particularly difficult time for small businesses, and I note that both Ireland and the Netherlands are offering support to small businesses in the form of Brexit advice vouchers or other forms of financial or non-financial support to help small businesses through the unknown. The UK Government has notably not yet offered any of this sort of support to UK businesses; they seem to be too busy organising freight contracts with companies who have no ships. So, I wonder if this is something you have discussed with the Welsh Government, or if you could raise it.
Welsh: Mae'r Ffederasiwn Busnesau Bach eisoes yn nodi bod busnesau yng Nghanol Caerdydd yn dioddef o bethau fel amrywiadau yn y gyfradd gyfnewid, sy'n ei gwneud yn eithriadol o anodd i bobl allu prisio eu nwyddau'n fanwl gywir heb wynebu'r perygl o wneud colled. Mae gennym gwmnïau adeiladu sy'n colli staff oherwydd bod pobl yn dychwelyd i'w mamwlad, ac mae cwmnïau TG llai o faint yn dweud eu bod yn cael trafferth prynu stoc am fod cwmnïau TG mwy yn pentyrru deunyddiau ac offer. Credaf ei bod yn gyfnod arbennig o anodd i fusnesau bach, a nodaf fod Iwerddon a'r Iseldiroedd yn cynnig cymorth i fusnesau bach ar ffurf talebau cyngor ar Brexit neu fathau eraill o gymorth ariannol neu anariannol i helpu busnesau bach drwy'r ansicrwydd. Mae'n syfrdanol nad yw Llywodraeth y DU wedi cynnig unrhyw gymorth o'r math hwn i fusnesau yn y DU eto; mae'n ymddangos eu bod yn rhy brysur yn trefnu contractau cludo nwyddau gyda chwmnïau heb longau. Felly, tybed a yw hyn yn rhywbeth rydych wedi'i drafod gyda Llywodraeth Cymru, neu'n rhywbeth y byddwch yn ei godi.
English: Well, I don't know. It depends on the new Prime Minister. I have repeatedly called on the United Kingdom Government to share information on preparations for all possible Brexit outcomes. The flow of information has improved, particularly on 'no deal' Brexit preparation, but it's still imperfect.
Welsh: Wel, dydw i ddim yn gwybod. Mae'n dibynnu ar y Prif Weinidog newydd. Rwyf wedi galw ar Lywodraeth y Deyrnas Unedig dro ar ôl tro i rannu gwybodaeth ar baratoadau ar gyfer pob canlyniad Brexit posib. Mae'r llif gwybodaeth wedi gwella, yn enwedig o ran paratoadau ar gyfer Brexit heb gytundeb, ond dyw e ddim yn berffaith o hyd.
English: You don't know, we don't know, nobody knows. We have no idea, do we, what's going to happen after the end of October? Is that the message that you've conveyed to your agricultural Minister, because she has launched a consultation, of course, on transforming support for the agricultural sector in Wales, and the consultation finishes the day before Brexit? And after that day, of course, we could be facing difficulties in accessing international markets, we could be facing difficulties in terms of tariffs. We have no idea how much money we'll receive. So, whilst you've told me, to all intents and purposes, that you have no idea what the arrangements are, have you passed that message on to Lesley Griffiths?
Welsh: Dŷch chi ddim yn gwybod, dŷn ni ddim yn gwybod, does neb yn gwybod. Hynny yw, does gennym ni ddim cliw, oes e, beth sy'n mynd i ddigwydd ar ôl diwedd mis Hydref? Ydy honno'n neges rŷch chi wedi'i chyfleu i'ch Gweinidog amaeth, oherwydd mae hi wedi lansio ymgynghoriad, wrth gwrs, ar drawsnewid y gefnogaeth i'r sector amaeth yng Nghymru, ac mae'r ymgynghoriad yn gorffen ddiwrnod cyn Brexit? Ac ar ôl y diwrnod yna, wrth gwrs, fe allem ni fod yn wynebu trafferthion cael mynediad i farchnadoedd rhyngwladol, fe allem ni fod yn wynebu trafferthion o safbwynt tariffau. Does gyda ni ddim clem faint o arian y byddwn ni'n derbyn. Felly, tra'ch bod chi wedi dweud wrthyf i, i bob pwrpas, fod gyda chi ddim cliw beth fydd y trefniadau, ydych chi wedi pasio'r neges ymlaen at Lesley Griffiths?
English: I have received one topical question, and the question is to be answered by the Counsel General and is to be asked by Alun Davies.
Welsh: Dwi wedi derbyn un cwestiwn amserol. Mae'r cwestiwn i'w ateb gan y Cwnsler Cyffredinol a'i ofyn gan Alun Davies.
English: Aspects of the Dunlop review can be welcomed. It has the potential to support the joint inter-governmental relations review, however there are fundamental questions about the devolution settlement and the role of territorial offices that are beyond the scope of the review but nonetheless need to be addressed.
Welsh: Gellir croesawu rhai agweddau ar adolygiad Dunlop. Mae ganddo'r potensial i gefnogi'r cydadolygiad cysylltiadau rhynglywodraethol, ond ceir cwestiynau sylfaenol ynglŷn â'r setliad datganoli a rôl swyddfeydd tiriogaethol, sydd y tu hwnt i gwmpas yr adolygiad, ond serch hynny, mae angen rhoi sylw iddynt.
