Dadl Fer: Rasio ceffylau: Ased economaidd ac ased chwaraeon i Gymru
A yw'n iawn, os caniatewch i mi? Rwy'n gwybod nad yw'n arferol mewn dadleuon byr i wneud ymyriad.

Cwestiynau i Weinidog yr Economi
Fel Jack Sargeant, rwy'n croesawu'r datblygiadau hyn yn y gogledd-ddwyrain yn fawr iawn, ac rwy'n teimlo'n gryf y dylem wneud llawer mwy yng Nghymru i geisio denu cymaint o gyfleoedd caffael â phosibl ar gyfer y sector amddiffyn i’n cenedl. Pa gamau rydych yn…

Datganiad a Chyhoeddiad Busnes
Diolch, Trefnydd, am eich datganiad. A gaf i ofyn am ddatganiad ysgrifenedig gan y Dirprwy Weinidog Partneriaeth Gymdeithasol o ran y camau sy'n cael eu cymryd gan Lywodraeth Cymru i hyrwyddo cyfranogiad yn arolwg cyn-filwyr ledled y DU, sy'n mynd rhagddo ar…

Creative ways.

No decision has been made yet, no. And I think, even if names aren't on there, everybody will know who is standing, because they will make themselves known to the electorate. So, again, even, there's an element of personal mandate. So, this is a tricky one. I…

So, Llywydd, we do have a list system currently for regional Members on which names are on the ballot paper as well as the political party. So, there is an element of personal mandate too, I would suggest to you. I think there was some—. Am I correct in…

No increase.

Diwygio'r Senedd
I think if we can put in in the Bill, it would be better.
15 Tachwedd 2022 , Business Committee
Diwygio'r Senedd
—make a comment on that issue? I do think that, where possible, if we've got three, it should be politically balanced, say—I don't know—in some way. I agree with you that you shouldn't have both the PO and the DPO from the same political group. I think that's…

Diwygio'r Senedd
Sorry, Chair. Can I just—
15 Tachwedd 2022 , Business Committee
Diwygio'r Senedd
Again, for some of the same reasons that we had in the previous discussion, I think we ought to set a maximum number and not a minimum, if you see what I mean. Otherwise, you could have a cast of thousands, potentially—or 96 Deputy Presiding Officers or 95…

Diwygio'r Senedd
Can I just make a further point, if I may, Llywydd? I appreciate we're going to go away and look at whether there are any examples. If we effectively currently have a minimum of two—a First Minister and a Counsel General—and we're going to increase that…
15 Tachwedd 2022 , Business Committee
Diwygio'r Senedd
I mean, we have effectively have a minimum of two, don't we, at the moment.
15 Tachwedd 2022 , Business Committee
Diwygio'r Senedd
We can have a Government with two people in it now, Llywydd, but we don't, because people are responsible, and the Welsh Government appoints Ministers on the basis of the best way that it judges to manage its work. I don't understand; are there any examples…
15 Tachwedd 2022 , Business Committee
Diwygio'r Senedd
The additional point I would want to make is that there have been times when First Ministers have chosen not to appoint the full complement of Ministers in the years that I've been here. Sometimes there are sensible reasons to do that—negotiation reasons…
15 Tachwedd 2022 , Business Committee
Diwygio'r Senedd
Llywydd, I'm not suggesting there should be a minimum. I'm saying there should be a maximum.
15 Tachwedd 2022 , Business Committee
Diwygio'r Senedd
We haven't seen enough of those independent-thinking Government backbenchers in my view over the years. [Laughter.]
15 Tachwedd 2022 , Business Committee
Diwygio'r Senedd
I appreciate what Lesley Griffiths has said about the need to futureproof things, but, of course, if there were further powers devolved, there would be an opportunity to look again then at the size, if and when we cross that bridge. But, at the moment, we're…
15 Tachwedd 2022 , Business Committee
Diwygio'r Senedd
It's like a waterfall between us. So, I do think that we definitely shouldn't be setting a minimum. We shouldn't say a minimum of 16, but we should set a maximum. My own view is that 16 is appropriate. The Welsh Government says that it can manage with 16. I…
15 Tachwedd 2022 , Business Committee
Diwygio'r Senedd
No, it's over there.
15 Tachwedd 2022 , Business Committee
Diwygio'r Senedd
Hope it doesn't get any worse.
15 Tachwedd 2022 , Business Committee
Diwygio'r Senedd
Llywydd, I don't think we should be setting a minimum number, but I think we should set a maximum in the legislation. I can see we've got a leak in the building by the way.
15 Tachwedd 2022 , Business Committee
Diwygio'r Senedd
So, the Senedd—I'll say 'the Senedd', because, as you know, my party has different views on these matters—but the Senedd set out on this journey of Senedd reform to improve the scrutiny of the Senedd to assist it in holding the Government to account. So, we…

Dadl: Cymorth i Gymuned y Lluoedd Arfog
A gaf i ddiolch hefyd i'r Gweinidog am gyflwyno'r ddadl hon heddiw? Mae'n fraint gweithio ochr yn ochr â hi a swyddogion Llywodraeth Cymru, a'r sefydliadau eraill sy'n cael eu cynrychioli ar grŵp arbenigol y lluoedd arfog. Ac mae'n fraint hefyd cael…

Datganiad a Chyhoeddiad Busnes
Trefnydd, a gaf i alw am ddatganiad gan y Gweinidog llywodraeth leol ar y newyddion bod ugeiniau o geiswyr lloches yn cael eu cartrefu mewn gwesty moethus yng nghefn gwlad Conwy yng ngogledd Cymru? Mae hyn yn rhywbeth sydd wedi achosi cryn bryder ymysg y…
