Rwyf yn gwneud y datganiad hwn heddiw yng ngoleuni’r diddordeb mawr a ddangoswyd gan y Pwyllgor Materion Cyfansoddiadol a Deddfwriaethol yn ystod Proses Graffu Cyfnod 1 mewn perthynas â’r cydbwysedd rhwng yr hyn sy’n cael ei ddatgan ar wyneb y Bil a’r darpariaethau ar gyfer gwneud is-ddeddfwriaeth, priodoldeb y pwerau datganoledig a’r gweithdrefnau deddfwriaethol sy’n cael eu cymhwyso. Roeddwn am achub y cyfle i ailddatgan fy safbwynt  a hefyd i nodi fy marn ar nifer o faterion cysylltiedig eraill.
I am making this Statement today in light of the great interest shown by the Constitutional and Legislative Affairs Committee during Stage 1 scrutiny in respect of the balance between what is stated on the face of the Bill and the subordinate legislation making provisions, the appropriateness of the delegated powers and the applied legislative procedures. I wanted to take the opportunity to reiterate my position and also set out my thoughts on a number of related other issues.
