Gan fod toriad y Senedd a’r cyfnod cyn-etholiadol ar fin dechrau, nid oes digon o amser i atgyfeirio’r Memorandwm at y Pwyllgor Busnes i graffu arno fel y byddai’n digwydd fel arfer. Fodd bynnag, mae’n Fil pwysig sy’n effeithio ar Gymru, ac rwy’n credu ei bod yn hanfodol cynnal proses graffu effeithiol yn ei gylch. O ganlyniad, dewisais osod y Memorandwm er gwaethaf y diffyg amser i graffu arno’n llawn. Byddwn felly’n disgwyl i femorandwm pellach a Chynnig Cydsyniad Deddfwriaethol gael eu gosod yn fuan ar ôl yr etholiad i ganiatáu proses graffu lawn a theg.
As the Senedd is entering recess and a pre-election period, there is not enough time to refer the LCM for scrutiny through the Business Committee as would normally happen. However, this is an important Bill, which affects Wales, and I believe it is crucial it is subject to effective scrutiny. For this reason I chose to lay the LCM despite the lack of available time for full scrutiny. I would expect a further memorandum and Legislative Consent Motion will therefore be laid soon after the election to allow for a full and fair scrutiny process.
