Datganiad gan y Cwnsler Cyffredinol a Gweinidog y Cyfansoddiad: Codau cyfraith Cymru: Rhaglen i wneud cyfraith Cymru yn fwy hygyrch
A gaf i ddiolch i'r Aelod am nifer o gwestiynau pwysig iawn, am ei sylwadau a hefyd, fel yr ydym wedi dod i'w ddisgwyl, am wers hanes ddiddorol ar gyfraith Cymru ac yn enwedig y cyfeiriadau at gyfraith Rufeinig, sydd, wrth gwrs, yn fwy o sylfaen i system…

Nawr, ni fydd ein gwaith o gydgrynhoi cyfraith cynllunio yn cynnwys tresmasu gwartheg ac aredig, ond bydd yn darparu datganiad cynhwysfawr ar ddefnyddio tir, gyda chymorth cynigion Comisiwn y Gyfraith i symleiddio a moderneiddio'r gyfraith yn y maes hwn…

Llywydd, mae hon yn broses yr ydym wedi'i chychwyn yma yng Nghymru, ac rwy'n falch o fod heddiw wedi gosod y rhaglen gyntaf i wella hygyrchedd cyfraith fodern Cymru, fel sy'n ofynnol gan Ddeddf Deddfwriaeth (Cymru) 2019. Mae'r rhaglen hon yn ymrwymo'r…

Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Mae cyfreithiau Hywel Dda i'w gweld mewn tri chasgliad o lawysgrifau sy'n disgrifio system gyfreithiol frodorol ac unigryw Cymru. Mae ysgolheigion yn gytûn mai Llyfr Iorwerth, sy'n dyddio o'r drydedd ganrif ar ddeg, yw'r casgliad mwyaf…

I think there is actually a further discussion there. Government funds all the work in terms of the legislative programme and so on out of the allocation of the block grant. We may be 5 per cent of the UK, but if we pass a health Bill in Wales, or the UK…

Firstly, let me just start with the first part of your preamble. I am more than happy to appear before the committee as regularly as possible. I think it's important that the work I do, the engagement et cetera, is fundamentally scrutinised and I recognise…

I'm okay until 3 o'clock. I have to go into a Cabinet meeting at 3 o'clock, so I'm okay for about 10 minutes, if that's okay.

My understanding is that it is, that there is a data dashboard that has been established, which certainly at official level provides access to that sort of data. The question you're asking, of course, is I think the question I asked when I was last Chair of…

That is what we are going to be considering at the next meeting of the justice committee, and that is to consider a strategy, to look at them to work out at a timetable of what can be achieved. What I can say is, of course, I was due last week to have met…

Our priorities are, firstly, in respect of the whole of the Thomas commission, to actually identify those areas where we can reach agreement with the UK Government mutually. There has been some progress in some of those particular areas, in terms of, as you…

Well, it seems to me that the starting point is the terms of agreement on which those cross-cutting issues are there. So, for example, on international agreements, one of the areas that is most of concern is that, firstly, there is collaboration at a very…

Well, I am certainly hopeful that we'll move to a process soon where that scrutiny process can start. It is absolutely fundamental, and has been a significant feature of the discussions over the common frameworks. As you know, there are a large number of…

Well, look, the starting point is of course we were aware of the internal market Act, and you'll be aware that, of course, consent wasn't given to that legislation. In fact, we weren't effectively significantly involved in the preparation for that legislation…

Well, that has been one of the difficult areas because, as you know, international trade has been one of the areas right from the start that has been of major concern, even from the very, very early days, and that is that, of course, international trade…

Okay. Well, what I can tell you is I think we are more optimistic than we have been in the past; that there has been considerable progress; that we are beginning to look at the details of the terms of reference and that we're getting closer in terms of the…

Well, again, there has been a lot of work going on. We're looking, obviously, at co-chairs for the commission. I think you'll fully understand it's not appropriate for me to talk about names or individuals until all those arrangements are in place. We're…

I think it's always a mistake to look at things in terms of what is the position of this particular Government, or what's going to be the position over this year or next year. I remember debates in the early 1970s in terms of should there or shouldn't there…

Yes, I can, and I hope to be making statements over the coming weeks on the constitutional convention. The convention is essentially about the fact that we have a dysfunctional set of arrangements between the four nations of the UK. In my past involvement…

Well, it becomes a balancing act of what is most important and what is feasible. But I'll give you just one example, because you'll have seen the legislative consent memorandum in respect of the UK Government's Elections Bill. Now, there are bits within that…

Yes, I've given a lot of thought to how we go about this, and of course we see it within the context of what the programme for government is, what the legislative programme is, and what the opportunities might be in terms of codification and consolidation…

I see accessibility in two ways. Firstly, there is my role within the aspect of ensuring that people know where Welsh law is, that it's accessible by those who need to use it, as well as those who are affected by it. So, both from the position of the citizen…
