Offerynnau sy’n cynnwys materion i gyflwyno adroddiad arnynt i’r Senedd o dan Reol Sefydlog 21.2 neu 21.3
I assumed that the Demise of the Crown Act 1901 meant that all these designations changed automatically, without reference to any further legal action.

The Irish is a better model than either the Scottish or the Welsh, but we won't go there. [Laughter.]

But we're asking you where you're prepared to compromise.

Y Bil Bwyd (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
I know you are.

Y Bil Bwyd (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Well, I've just asked Peter what his red line was, and he listed the whole of the Bill. [Laughter.]

Y Bil Bwyd (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
You said you'd be prepared to amend earlier.

Y Bil Bwyd (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
I could spend a lot of time discussing this. Where's your red line, Peter?

Y Bil Bwyd (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
I like the latter goal; I'm less convinced about the former goal.

Y Bil Bwyd (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Well, that's rarely said, to be fair.

It gives so much flexibility as to leave it almost meaningless. The example I quoted to you at the beginning of this question was on environment and environmental standards. It would enable the Government to argue that the nitrate vulnerable zones regulations…

I think the primary goal is fine, as it happens, and I think the Government miss out, because they don't have that in their agriculture Bill, as it happens. So, I don't disagree with you on that, but the secondary goal—
30 Ionawr 2023 , Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Y Bil Bwyd (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
It's a goal; it's not a strategy.
30 Ionawr 2023 , Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Y Bil Bwyd (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Let me stop you there, because this is on the face of the Bill; it's primary legislation. So, it's difficult to argue that you need these goals on the face of the Bill and then to argue that they're not the important element; the important element is the…

In an earlier answer, you alluded to my critique of some of the future generations legislation, and that is because I am not convinced that by putting declaratory words on the face of a Bill, you make things happen. And I've always had real concerns with…

Thank you, and I very much agree with what James has just said, but we also need to examine private legislation as well.

Cefin Campbell was there as a designated Member.

Sorry, may I ask you a question?
30 Ionawr 2023 , Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Y Bil Bwyd (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Okay.

A discrete Bill can have great power. Look at Leo Abse and the decriminalisation of homosexuality in 1967—an enormously powerful but simple Bill.

Y Bil Bwyd (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
I didn't say 'tokenistic', I said it was discrete.

Can I stop you there? Because your colleague Paul Davies put forward—I think it might have been in the last Senedd, actually—an autism Bill, and he was talking about not dissimilar principles, pragmatic principles. And he drew on the experience of the late…

Y Bil Bwyd (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Yes, it did, yes.
30 Ionawr 2023 , Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Y Bil Bwyd (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
What about the focus?

Let me say this: I don't disagree with the overall analysis, as it happens, although I would suggest that the disaster of Brexit and the trade deals that we'll be debating in the Chamber tomorrow are doing more to undermine food production in Wales than the…
