Cwestiynau i'r Prif Weinidog
Prynhawn da, Prif Weinidog. Roeddwn i hefyd eisiau gwneud sylw dilynol ynghylch mater swyddogion cymorth cymunedol yr heddlu, gan ddeall yn llwyr y cyfyngiadau cyllidebol sydd gan Lywodraeth Cymru, a siarad am gyfrifoldebau'r comisiynwyr heddlu a throseddu a…

Yes, indeed. That, again, comes back to the issue of diversity and having a better gender balance, given that we don't have a gender quota Bill coming up. I just wonder if there is an option for us to put forward that in the light of, potentially, the gender…

Un cwestiwn olaf, yn Gymraeg hefyd. Jest ynglŷn â rhannu swyddi, roedden ni'n clywed tystiolaeth ynglŷn â rhannu swyddi a hefyd y bwriad bod pwyllgor i edrych ar hyn am gael ei gynnal efallai yn y Senedd nesaf. Fyddech chi'n agored, efallai, i'r pwyllgor yna…

If I may, Chair, I've got one issue to cover, but if I may, the closed list system is such a big issue, and I still am unclear of the benefits. So, if I may, through the Chair—I don't know if this is possible—ask you to submit a paper to the committee…

I'm still a little bit unclear about the benefits, the democratic benefits, of a closed list system. Dispense with first-past-the-post—we're not entertaining that at all. What are, given what we've said about gender diversity and other requirements, the…

But without the gender balance quota Bill, which we understand—and I hear what you're saying about not being responsible for it—without that, then it places no expectation on political parties who are there to decide who the candidates are and the list that…

It was about how the closed list system—I'm going to stay with this for a bit, I'm afraid—how the closed list system promotes diversity and gender representation.

So, looking at the gender reform Bill, and we're staying still with the closed list system—we understand that the gender quotas Bill is not going to go ahead, or, particularly, not going to go ahead in the imminent future—how do closed lists help gender…

So, you, as the Minister who is responsible, were not part of the position that the special purpose committee was placed in, which was that we were faced with a total deal, and that was what we had to accept. So, you weren't part of that.

That's fine. So, we've never heard evidence of the current system being maintained, and this is not what this committee is about, so let's dispense with that. We've heard no evidence in favour of the closed list system. We've heard evidence that we should be…
