Ar yr achlysur yma, nid ydw i’n credu fod y Gweinidog Cyfoeth Naturiol a Bwyd wedi bod yn ddigon gofalus wrth greu gwahaniaeth clir rhwng ei rôl weinidogol ac etholaethol.  Er hynny, nid y Gweinidog oedd yn gwneud y penderfyniad Gweinidogol yn y mater hwn ac nid ef  fyddai’n gwneud y penderfyniad o dan unrhyw amgylchiadau a allai fod wedi codi.  Yn ychwanegol, mae Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru wedi dweud yn glir nad oeddent wedi newid eu barn na chael eu dylanwadu o ganlyniad i ymwneud y Gweinidog fel Aelod Cynulliad lleol.
On this occasion I believe that the Minister for Natural Resources and Food did not exercise sufficient care in clearly establishing the perception of full separation between his ministerial and constituency roles.  However, the Minister was not a decision-making Minister in this matter and nor would he have been in any of the circumstances that might have unfolded.  In addition, Natural Resources Wales have been clear that their views were not altered or influenced as a result of the Minister’s engagement as a constituency Assembly Member.
