Well, Chair, the Welsh Government’s approach in the immediate run is, as I said, to do everything we can to continue to benefit from the investment we have made over an extended period in having close and productive relationships with our European Union…

Using the same spirit that I thought the Prime Minister successfully mobilised to create the Windsor framework, we ought to be able to do better on Erasmus+. Erasmus+ is available for membership for countries that are outside the European Union. There are…

Beth dwi eisiau ei weld yn y tymor byr yw'r pethau roedden ni'n edrych i'w gweld ar ôl y Windsor framework sydd ddim wedi troi mas. Pan oedd y Windsor framework yn cael ei gytuno, roeddwn i, fel oedd e'n troi mas, draw yn Brussels ar yr un diwrnod ac yn cwrdd…

Wel, Cadeirydd, rŷn ni'n gweithio'n galed fel Llywodraeth i drial cryfhau'r berthynas rhyngom ni a rhanddeiliaid eraill yn yr Undeb Ewropeaidd. Ond, y tu fas i'r Undeb Ewropeaidd, dydyn ni ddim yn gallu gwneud lot o'r pethau a oedd yno i ni eu gwneud pan…

Well, I hesitate to advise, of course. If I were, I'd suggest two things, really. One is that better attention might be paid to the process by which subordinate legislation fills in the gaps in framework legislation. Is it the negative? Is it the affirmative?…

I've always argued that we cannot treat ourselves more favourably than we are able to treat other aspects of Welsh public life, and, in an era of austerity, that has a genuine impact on our ability to have capacity to do all the things we would like to do…

Wel, diolch i Adam Price am y cwestiynau, wrth gwrs. Wel, ar ôl mwy na degawd o gyni, mae'r broblem o adnoddau yn un gyffredinol i ni fel Llywodraeth, nid jest ym maes deddfu ond ym mhopeth rŷn ni'n gwneud. So, pan oeddwn i'n Weinidog dros gyllid, roeddwn i'n…

Na, dydy'r system ddim yn gweithio fel yna o gwbl, i ddweud y gwir. Proses eithaf cyfrinachol yw'r broses sy'n mynd ymlaen yn San Steffan. Rydyn ni'n clywed ar y diwrnod pan fydd Araith y Brenin yn cael ei gyhoeddi. Bydd galwad ffôn yn dod trwyddo o rywun yn…

Diolch yn fawr am y cwestiwn. Dwi eisiau bod yn ofalus, achos dydy hi ddim i fi fel Prif Weinidog i ddweud wrth y Senedd sut mae'r Senedd eisiau cydweithio gydag unrhyw gorff arall. Gallaf ddweud, pan fydd y pwnc yn codi, ac mae wedi codi, er enghraifft, yng…

Absolutely. I entirely agree with that. My own account of this would be that for the most part of devolution we have lived with different Governments at Westminster who had a fundamental respect for the devolution settlement. Since 2019 what we have seen is…

I think those are really interesting ideas, and I'm certainly not opposed to exploring them, but I would probably want to solve the problem in a different way. Because we could reform the LCM process in the way that Alun Davies has suggested, or we could go…

I think that is our experience. I think it's been our experience in the whole of devolution, and it hasn't mattered that much which party is in power in Westminster. Part of the Whitehall machine is just more familiar with what goes on in devolved…

—and when they do, that is, I think, a clear example of a democratic deficit, because consent has been denied. And the Sewel convention should mean that, in that instance, those clauses are removed and the UK Parliament does not legislate. When they do, it…

Thank you for the question, of course. Here's my response to the whole business of UK Bills being used to legislate in devolved areas. I'm going to give you three different sorts of ways that happens—two of which, I agree, lead to a democratic deficit and…

Dwi'n cydnabod y pwyntiau roedd Adam Price yn eu gwneud ar y diwedd, am brofi'r broses sydd gennym ni, ond mae'r ffaith bod Llywodraeth yr Alban ddim wedi codi unrhyw beth ar hyn o bryd yn dangos, dwi'n meddwl, y pwysigrwydd o fod yn ofalus am y pwnc rŷch…

'We don't recognise that there is a dispute.' So, we never got into any dispute resolution process, because they wouldn't admit it into the process. The process was not the current process, however; the process was under the old Joint Ministerial Committee…

Well, I'm obviously very happy to continue to make that case with my own party colleagues. It would require a UK Government to define what it meant by 'not normally'; it would have to set out in a document the thought process it goes through in coming to that…

Well, first of all, Chair, I think the Welsh Government makes strenuous efforts, and often uphill efforts, to try to reach a point where we can get an agreement with the UK Government on Bills where the UK Parliament will legislate in a devolved area. But the…
