Sesiwn graffu gyda’r Cwnsler Cyffredinol a Gweinidog y Cyfansoddiad
It also sounds like there's no threshold at all if it's just a ministerial whim that determines how these things are taken forward. But perhaps more fundamentally, when you were in front of us, I think it was last year, with the Permanent Secretary, I seem to…

It sounds like it needs a bit more than refreshing, Counsel General, after that analysis.

It would be good to have that update. It would also be good to have an update on and an understanding of the role of the secretariat, because we have had a conversation before; I think it's important that the secretariat has quite a powerful role in ensuring…

Thank you. I'd like to start where Sam left off, actually. You say that you have appointed staff to the IGR secretariat. Can I ask how many members of staff and what their levels of seniority are and what their roles are?

Thank you very much, Gadeirydd. It's that preparation of ground that I wanted to ask you about, Counsel General, because it's pretty clear, I think, that we are well into the death throes of the current UK Government, and I agree with your analysis that we…

Dadl ar Adroddiad y Pwyllgor Deddfwriaeth, Cyfiawnder a’r Cyfansoddiad, 'Ymchwiliad i lywodraethiant y DU a’r UE'
Y thema gyntaf yw'r newid mewn grym. Mae pob un ohonom yn cofio’r sloganau 'Adfer rheolaeth' yn 2016. Ond y gwir amdani yw bod rheolaeth wedi symud o ddemocratiaeth seneddol i ddictad gweithredol, ac nid yw hynny’n iawn. Mae gan y Senedd hon lai o…

Datganiad gan y Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol a'r Prif Chwip: Dwy flynedd ers yr ymosodiad llawn ar Wcráin a diweddariad ar y Genedl Noddfa
Rwy'n ddiolchgar i chi, Dirprwy Lywydd, ac yn ddiolchgar hefyd i'r Gweinidog am ei datganiad y prynhawn yma. Rwy'n credu ei bod hi'n bwysig ein bod ni'n ymuno â'n gilydd i gydnabod dewrder pobl Wcráin, sydd wedi bod yn gwrthsefyll ymosodiad Putin ers dwy…

Rydych chi wedi bod yn darlledu yng Nghymru ers degawdau, os caf i ddweud hynny, ac felly ydych chi'n gweld yr un ddadl o safbwynt rygbi ar lawr gwlad, a'r impact mae'r WRU yn awgrymu y buasai hynny'n ei gael?

I fully accept all of that, but my question was slightly different, I'm sorry. My question was about the value of the rights. Now, intuitively, I would agree with the analysis of the WRU—if you're selling in a restricted market, clearly you don't have the…

[Inaudible.] We already have a listings process in place for some events. So, we do have experience, therefore, of a restricted marketplace. We've got a restricted marketplace in the group A events at present. Is there any evidence that that restricted…

Thank you. I think we're all asking more questions than we're actually answering this morning. The heart of the case that Abi Tierney's outlined against restricting the rights of the six nations is that, and I'll quote from her letter to the committee: 'Our…

I'm a member of Glamorgan as well. I sit in the stands; sometimes I feel very lonely. We don't have the following, at least partly because the exposure has been lost, and you don't want to feel that same loneliness when you watch a game of rugby, do you?

It's a different crowd to the old five nations crowds, I accept that, and it's great to see. You know, you hear the voices, the children's voices, in the stadium on the second tier, in an autumn international game—I think that's all fantastic. My worry is the…
