Ar 6 Tachwedd 2012, gwnaethpwyd Datganiad Llafar gennyf i’r Cynulliad Cenedlaethol yn croesawu’r datblygiadau gan Brifysgol Cymru, Casnewydd a Phrifysgol Morgannwg o ran eu gweithgareddau cyn integreiddio.  Gwnaeth Cadeiryddion y ddau sefydliad y sefyllfa’n glir y byddai’n well ganddynt uno o fis Ebrill eleni.
On 6 November 2012, I made an Oral Statement to the National Assembly welcoming the progress made by the University of Wales, Newport and the University of Glamorgan in relation to their pre-integration activities.  The Chairs of both institutions made clear to me then their preference to merge with effect from April this year.
