O ran cwestiwn (a), nid yw'r wybodaeth y gofynnir amdani wedi'i chyhoeddi ar y ffurf hon ac nid yw Llywodraeth Cymru wedi gwneud yr asesiad penodol hwn.
O ran cwestiwn (b), nid ydym yn ymwybodol o rwystrau sy'n unigryw i fargyfreithwyr o Gymru sy'n ymgeisio am statws Cwnsler y Brenin. Fodd bynnag, gall pob bargyfreithiwr, ac yn wir pob cyfreithiwr, o gefndiroedd anhraddodiadol wynebu heriau megis gofynion heriol o ran profiad, cyfleoedd cyfyngedig y tu allan i Lundain, cyfyngiadau ariannol, llai o gysylltiadau rhwydweithio, a llwybrau gyrfa aneglur.
