Nid yw’r pŵer cyffredinol o gymhwysedd yn berthnasol i Gynghorau yng Nghymru.  Mae canfyddiad bod hyn wedi rhoi Cynghorau yng Nghymru o dan anfantais ynglŷn â’u gallu i gynnal gweddïau fel rhan o’u busnes swyddogol. Mae rhai wedi galw am ddeddfwriaeth sy’n unioni’r mater. Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn ystyried hyn i fod yn gamarweiniol ac nad oes bwriad ganddynt i ddeddfu ar y mater hwn.  Os oes cyfyngiadau ar sut y gall Cynghorau ymdrin â’r mater hwn, maent yn codi o’r gofynion cyfreithiol cyffredinol ynglŷn â chydraddoldeb a pheidio gwahaniaethu, nid o unrhyw derfyn ymddangosiadol ar bŵerau statudol Cynghorau.
The general power of competence does not apply to Councils in Wales. There has been a perception this has, in some way, disadvantaged Councils in Wales, in their ability to hold prayers as part of their official business. It has been seen, by some, as a matter which needs rectifying through legislation. The Welsh Government considers this to be misleading and does not intend to bring forward legislation on this point. If there are restrictions to how Councils may approach this matter, they arise from the general legal requirements as to equality and non-discrimination, not from any apparent limit on the Councils’ statutory powers.
