Cwestiynau i Gomisiwn y Senedd
6. A wnaiff y Comisiwn ystyried treial o ddarparu dyddiau gwyliau blynyddol ychwanegol i'r gweithwyr hynny sy'n teithio dramor ar eu gwyliau drwy ddulliau heblaw am hedfan, fel ar drenau a coetsys, i helpu i fynd i'r afael â newid hinsawdd? OQ59517

Cwestiynau i’r Cwnsler Cyffredinol a Gweinidog y Cyfansoddiad
Diolch i’r Cwnsler Cyffredinol am ei ymateb. A gaf fi gofnodi fy niolch i ddirprwyaeth y DU a’r arweinyddiaeth, yn enwedig Syr Oliver Heald, am y ffordd y maent wedi ceisio cynnwys y Senedd hon yn nhrafodion rhan seneddol y cyngor partneriaeth pan fyddwn yn…

Cwestiynau i’r Cwnsler Cyffredinol a Gweinidog y Cyfansoddiad
Rwy'n siŵr y byddai'r Cwnsler Cyffredinol yn cytuno â mi fod ansawdd Llywodraeth ond cystal ag ansawdd y gwaith craffu ar y Llywodraeth honno, neu, yn yr achos hwn, ar y Llywodraethau ledled y DU. Ac yn wir, mae fforwm rhyng-seneddol y DU yn dechrau datblygu…

2. Pa ystyriaeth y mae'r Cwnsler Cyffredinol wedi ei rhoi i ddatblygu rôl Fforwm Rhyng-Seneddol y DU o ran craffu ar faterion deddfwriaethol a chyfansoddiadol a'u goruchwylio? OQ59525

Bil yr Amgylchedd (Ansawdd Aer a Seinweddau) (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth 7
Yes, I'm just intrigued on the practical application of this. The Bill isn't retrospective, of course; no legislation can be. But, going forward, if we were to do this properly, what would be the impact, for example, on developing housing alongside where…

So, the Minister might well resist pushing too far on this, knowing that you can't adequately resource it. Why would you put it into a Bill if you can't actually promise either the levers to deliver it, but, secondly, the resources to deliver it?

Bil yr Amgylchedd (Ansawdd Aer a Seinweddau) (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth 7
Yes. Okay. Colin.

But the approach should be to extend air quality management beyond hotspots and into a wider analysis—

Bil yr Amgylchedd (Ansawdd Aer a Seinweddau) (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth 7
I'll come to Colin as well, in case he has any thoughts on this, but the resource implications for extending this wider, are they necessarily—? Does that necessarily mean that we have to double, treble, quadruple the resources in local air quality management…

Bil yr Amgylchedd (Ansawdd Aer a Seinweddau) (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth 7
Can we turn to the local air quality management approach? How effective do you think the proposals in the Bill will be in getting real, tangible improvements in local air quality?

Bil yr Amgylchedd (Ansawdd Aer a Seinweddau) (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth 7

So could I ask whether you—? Sorry, Chair. Could I ask you, then, whether you would support something we've been asking in every evidence session—within the purposes of this Bill as described, the unfinished business of a duty to promote active travel?…

Bil yr Amgylchedd (Ansawdd Aer a Seinweddau) (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth 7
Yes, it's a very good point. And the practical realities of this is then the need to invest in that direct route, active travel routes. Because meandering through the parks of London is very pretty, but if it adds 20 minutes to your journey you're not going…

Bil yr Amgylchedd (Ansawdd Aer a Seinweddau) (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth 7

Bil yr Amgylchedd (Ansawdd Aer a Seinweddau) (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth 7
That takes me quite neatly to the other question on raising awareness: it's whether the duty in the Bill to promote awareness should be extended beyond Welsh Government to the wider public sector—so, local authorities, health boards, other public sector…

Bil yr Amgylchedd (Ansawdd Aer a Seinweddau) (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth 7

Bil yr Amgylchedd (Ansawdd Aer a Seinweddau) (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth 7
No, no—it's fine. It just strikes me that, in raising awareness, there's one thing about the reactive raising of awareness of people, that there's a particular issue that you need to be aware about, but then it's that longer term awareness raising that helps…

Bil yr Amgylchedd (Ansawdd Aer a Seinweddau) (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth 7
Just a couple of questions, please, on promoting awareness about air pollution. And the first question is whether you think the Bill should be more prescriptive about the steps Ministers can take to promote awareness about air pollution, and, if so, what…

So, are you saying that they should be—? Sorry, I don't know quite what level of detail both of you have looked at this at, but are you saying that there should be a separate subsection in the way that there is also with smoke control, and so on there, that…
