English: Thank you. The Bill is obviously something that is very significant; it transfers enormous powers to UK Government Ministers, who would have the option of not instating, or not retaining, certain legislation in UK Government, almost at their discretion. The example that I know has been publicised very well is the one, for example, of statutory holiday pay, which derives from the EU retained law. Were that not to be retained and reinstated into UK law, it would at a stroke actually be eliminated, so we would lose that, and there are many other examples where individual rights that individuals have could disappear at a stroke with virtually no scrutiny from UK Government. Our concern as a Welsh Government is, of course, that the Bill contains issues in respect of concurrent powers for UK Government Ministers in the retained EU law Bill that can be exercised in devolved areas. It has a sunsetting clause that was set for 31 December 2023. This relates to something like 2,400 pieces of legislation. I think I've already commented, as, indeed, have other nations of the UK commented, that, basically, this would almost completely overwhelm not only the UK Government's legislative programme, but ours as well, if we were to try and address this. So, we are looking at very careful options on that. I suppose there is some hope in terms of some comments that maybe there will be a review of it. My view is that this piece of legislation is wholly unnecessary. It doesn't actually achieve anything or do anything of any significance when you consider all the particular challenges that exist. I'm very moved by the comment from the former environment Secretary Theresa Villiers. She was a Brexiteer, so she has a vested interest in Brexit and these issues, but she said that the proposals would take up vast amounts of civil service time and would involve undoing legislation that, in many cases, was broadly popular and good for the country. Others have expressed a view that this Bill is potentially an ideological millstone. So, we're monitoring it very, very closely. I had two meetings with the previous Minister, Rees-Mogg. That, of course, has changed, but there will be opportunities for further discussions, and this is very much on the Welsh Government's and on my radar.
Welsh: Diolch. Mae'r Bil yn amlwg yn rhywbeth sy'n arwyddocaol iawn; mae'n trosglwyddo pwerau enfawr i Weinidogion Llywodraeth y DU, a fyddai â'r opsiwn o beidio â sefydlu, neu beidio â chadw, deddfwriaeth benodol yn Llywodraeth y DU, yn ôl eu disgresiwn eu hunain bron. Gwn fod yr enghraifft o dâl gwyliau statudol, sy'n deillio o gyfraith yr UE a ddargedwir, wedi cael cyhoeddusrwydd da iawn. Pe na bai'n cael ei chadw a'i hadfer i gyfraith y DU, byddai'n cael ei dileu ar unwaith mewn gwirionedd, felly byddem yn ei cholli, ac mae llawer o enghreifftiau eraill lle gallai hawliau unigol unigolion ddiflannu dros nos bron heb unrhyw graffu gan Lywodraeth y DU. Ein pryder ni fel Llywodraeth Cymru, wrth gwrs, yw bod y Bil yn cynnwys materion sy'n ymwneud â phwerau cydamserol i Weinidogion Llywodraeth y DU yn y Bil cyfraith yr UE a ddargedwir y gellir eu harfer mewn meysydd datganoledig. Mae ganddo gymal machlud a osodwyd ar gyfer 31 Rhagfyr 2023. Mae hyn yn ymwneud ag oddeutu 2,400 darn o ddeddfwriaeth. Rwy'n credu fy mod eisoes wedi dweud, fel y mae gwledydd eraill y DU wedi dweud, yn y bôn, y gallai hyn lethu rhaglen ddeddfwriaethol Llywodraeth y DU yn llwyr, yn ogystal â'n hun ninnau hefyd, pe baem yn ceisio mynd i'r afael â hyn. Felly, rydym yn edrych ar opsiynau gofalus iawn ar hynny. Mae'n debyg fod rhywfaint o obaith ynghlwm wrth rai sylwadau y gallai fod yna adolygiad ohono. Yn fy marn i, mae'r ddeddfwriaeth hon yn gwbl ddiangen. Nid yw'n cyflawni unrhyw beth mewn gwirionedd nac yn gwneud unrhyw beth o unrhyw arwyddocâd wrth ystyried yr holl heriau penodol sy'n bodoli. Fe wnaeth y sylw gan gyn-Ysgrifennydd yr amgylchedd, Theresa Villiers, gryn argraff arnaf. Roedd hi o blaid Brexit, felly mae'n fwy awyddus byth i weld Brexit a'r materion hyn yn llwyddo, ond dywedodd y byddai'r cynigion yn cymryd llawer iawn o amser y gwasanaeth sifil ac y byddai'n galw am ddadwneud deddfwriaeth a oedd, mewn llawer o achosion, yn boblogaidd at ei gilydd ac yn dda i'r wlad. Mae eraill wedi mynegi barn y gallai'r Bil hwn fod yn faen melin ideolegol. Felly, rydym yn ei fonitro'n agos iawn. Cefais ddau gyfarfod gyda'r Gweinidog blaenorol, Rees-Mogg. Mae hynny, wrth gwrs, wedi newid, ond fe fydd cyfleoedd i drafod ymhellach, ac mae hyn yn amlwg iawn ar radar Llywodraeth Cymru ac ar fy radar i.
