Cwestiynau i’r Gweinidog Materion Gwledig a Gogledd Cymru, a’r Trefnydd
Rwy'n cefnogi ymdrechion i sefydlu cyfres o gamau gweithredu ar gyfer holl ffermwyr Cymru yn gyfnewid am daliadau sylfaenol cyffredinol blynyddol a fydd yn hyrwyddo bioamrywiaeth ac yn rhoi hwb i'r amgylchedd yn ein gwlad. Fodd bynnag, rwy'n rhannu pryderon…

& 10. Dadl ar Egwyddorion Cyffredinol Y Bil Partneriaeth a'r penderfyniad ariannol mewn perthynas â’r Bil Partneriaeth Gymdeithasol a Chaffael Cyhoeddus (Cymru) Gymdeithasol a Chaffael Cyhoeddus (Cymru)
Hoffwn ddechrau gydag aelodaeth y cyngor partneriaeth gymdeithasol. Mae'n ystyriaeth allweddol. Rhaid sicrhau y bydd y corff dylanwadol hwn yn adlewyrchu pob agwedd o gymdeithas Cymru yn llawn. Er mwyn i hyn ddigwydd mae'n rhaid cael hyblygrwydd o ran…

Fees and penalties, I suppose.
28 Tachwedd 2022 , Standards of Conduct Committee
Ymchwiliad i Lobïo: Sesiwn Dystiolaeth 3
Okay, thank you very much. With regard to those fees, do you think that is—? How enforceable are those? Obviously, if they don't pay up, is there recourse then to be able to—?
28 Tachwedd 2022 , Standards of Conduct Committee
Ymchwiliad i Lobïo: Sesiwn Dystiolaeth 3
And finally from me, Chair, if I may, I notice there's a fee every year to be on the register. Does that then cover the costs of the office, or is there additional cost involved?
28 Tachwedd 2022 , Standards of Conduct Committee
Ymchwiliad i Lobïo: Sesiwn Dystiolaeth 3
Obviously, then, you'd have no recourse to then deal with the parliamentary side of things. So, for parliamentarians you've got no teeth, as it were, on that side of things—that would be in ethics and standards.

From what you said earlier, it's fairly limited, the amount of information that you ask for in those quarterly returns.
28 Tachwedd 2022 , Standards of Conduct Committee
Ymchwiliad i Lobïo: Sesiwn Dystiolaeth 3
I've asked a couple already, thanks, Chair, but I've got a couple more, if I may. With regard to organisations or lobbyists that mistakenly put wrong information down, or that aren't aware that they need to register, what are your processes and to what…

Ymchwiliad i Lobïo: Sesiwn Dystiolaeth 3
Thank you.

Just following on a little bit from that, then, and it's a question I've asked others. Do you then require lobbyists to note, as part of the registration of activities, the amount of money that's been paid to them? Or is it more that if they are registered…

Thank you very much, Chair. Thank you.

That would be very useful. And then, from the other aspect, professional lobbyists, is there anywhere in the legislation that records the payments being made to lobbyists for access, or anything like that?
28 Tachwedd 2022 , Standards of Conduct Committee
Ymchwiliad i Lobïo: Sesiwn Dystiolaeth 2
Okay. What we had from Scotland was roughly the cost of the IT equipment, the IT system and how many full-time equivalent members of staff. So, something similar to that might give us a direct comparison to see—
28 Tachwedd 2022 , Standards of Conduct Committee
Ymchwiliad i Lobïo: Sesiwn Dystiolaeth 2
A couple of questions, actually, around finance, but from two different aspects: the cost of the office and the staff, and how it ensures value for money. What sort of costs are we talking about for running the register? That is my first question. Maybe if…
28 Tachwedd 2022 , Standards of Conduct Committee
Ymchwiliad i Lobïo: Sesiwn Dystiolaeth 2
And would you have, retrospectively, then, had something on it in that case? So, if somebody hadn't realised that they needed to be on there and it was a genuine mistake, would you retrospectively amend the register?
28 Tachwedd 2022 , Standards of Conduct Committee
Ymchwiliad i Lobïo: Sesiwn Dystiolaeth 2
And would there be any leeway then on making mistakes or anything along those lines, or you might be coming on to it in the next section?
28 Tachwedd 2022 , Standards of Conduct Committee
Ymchwiliad i Lobïo: Sesiwn Dystiolaeth 2
How long would they need to be returning nil returns for them then to drop off the register, or do they have to physically ask to be removed from the register?

Ymchwiliad i Lobïo: Sesiwn Dystiolaeth 2
Could I ask a quick question there, Chair?
