Y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gweinidog
I didn't see the committee—

Y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gweinidog
I wanted to make a quick point. I don't think guns are banned as long as you have a correct licence and appropriate person to use them. I just wanted to put that on the record just in case someone looks back and says we're banning guns in Wales. One thing I…

Y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gweinidog
Have a think about it.
21 Tachwedd 2022 , Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gweinidog
Yes, because I do hark back to section 15, which—[Inaudible.]—around basic payment. That is fundamental to sustainable land management and whatever objectives are going to be in the agriculture Bill, and if Ministers can change that without consultation, it…
21 Tachwedd 2022 , Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gweinidog
Yes, it is a point, and I hear what you're saying about the public can challenge, but where is the duty to consult within the Bill? This Minister has been very clear that she wants to consult about changes, and that's fine, but a future Minister might come in…

Y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gweinidog
Okay. I might come back to that, Chair, if that's all right later, but I'm finished for now. Thank you.
21 Tachwedd 2022 , Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gweinidog
Okay, because section 15(1) does enable Welsh Ministers to alter or modify the basic payment scheme. That's a very, very broad power, so why is there so little information about how the power will be exercised and what regulations could be used for, because…
21 Tachwedd 2022 , Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gweinidog
Okay. You also talked a lot about the affirmative procedure. There are parts in the Bill that are part of the negative procedure—you know, the subordinate legislation in sections 15, 16, 17, 18, 22 and 46. It does allow Welsh Ministers to make regulations…

Y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gweinidog
Okay. I'm going over it again about Senedd scrutiny being slightly impaired, because of the lack of significant detail on the face of the Bill. Do you think it would've been better, from the outset, to see the full picture of what was going to be done?
21 Tachwedd 2022 , Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gweinidog
No, no, it's absolutely fine. I think it was very important you made that point, Chair. The Bill does contain a wide range of delegated powers to Welsh Government Ministers. Given that the Bill has been in the pipeline for a long period of time, why is it…
21 Tachwedd 2022 , Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gweinidog
What is it?
21 Tachwedd 2022 , Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gweinidog
You would use the affirmative procedure for that. That's fine. Okay, I'm going to just talk a bit—
21 Tachwedd 2022 , Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gweinidog
So, if those areas are amended, how are you going to make sure that the Senedd is able to scrutinise any future changes to legislation? Because it's very important that we do have the democratic oversight of legislation and obviously, the look-back that we've…
21 Tachwedd 2022 , Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gweinidog
Okay. Moving on then, you say that this piece of legislation is going to be here for a long time. So, why is it appropriate for the Welsh Ministers to amend section 49—the meaning of 'agriculture' and related references—sorry, section 48 that was, and section…
21 Tachwedd 2022 , Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gweinidog
I've got some questions on key definitions. In the drafting of the Bill, did you consider including an express definition of sustainable land management on the face of the Bill, because does that lack of a definition for this purpose leave it open to…
21 Tachwedd 2022 , Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gweinidog
Diolch yn fawr iawn, Cadeirydd. Good morning, Minister.
21 Tachwedd 2022 , Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gweinidog
No, I'm fine—I'll save it.

Dadl Fer: Rasio ceffylau: Ased economaidd ac ased chwaraeon i Gymru
Gallaf weld fod yr amser wedi dod i ben, felly byddaf mor fyr ag y gallaf. Mae rasio ceffylau i mi wedi bod yn angerdd gydol oes. Roedd gan fy mam ddiddordeb brwd mewn marchogaeth ceffylau, fel fy nain, ac roedd fy hen nain yn marchogaeth ceffylau hyd nes ei…

Diolch, Llywydd, a diolch i chi am eich datganiad, Gweinidog. Rwy'n cytuno'n llwyr â'ch sylw mai dull Cymru gyfan yw hwn, ac mae angen nifer o randdeiliaid ac asiantaethau i ddod ynghyd i fynd i'r afael ag ansawdd dŵr, oherwydd ni ellir rhoi unrhyw un rhan…

Cwestiynau i'r Prif Weinidog
Prif Weinidog, dangosodd cais rhyddid gwybodaeth diweddar fod tua 4,500 o aelwydydd yn aros am dai cymdeithasol ym Mhowys. Rwy'n siŵr y byddwch chi'n cytuno â mi bod hynny'n peri pryder mawr. Rwy'n siŵr bod yr unigolion hynny a'r bobl hynny ar y rhestr aros…

Papurau i'w nodi
It's an important letter, but it would be nice to know what the Business Committee intends to do about it. Noting it is one thing; doing something about it is another.

Chair, can I suggest we take a five-minute comfort break? Would that be okay?

Okay. Could I ask Cadw what you are going to be doing around implementation? Obviously, industry bodies and professionals are going to be using this new—well, it's not a new piece of legislation—the consolidation Bill, to make sure that they're all aware of…
