Yn sgil y llythyr a anfonwyd gan Gweinidog Gwladol Llywodraeth y DU ar gyfer Amaethyddiaeth, Pysgodfeydd a Bwyd at Gadeirydd y Pwyllgor Dethol ar Faterion Cymreig ar 12 Tachwedd 2018, pa drafodaethau y mae Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet wedi'u cael hyd yn hyn ynghylch diwygio'r ardoll cig coch?
Legislation is a standing item on the Ministerial Quadrilateral agenda and Red Meat Levy has been a key issue that I have raised at all previous meetings. I also held a bilateral with Michael Gove, Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, on 4 September to discuss the Agriculture Bill, which included a substantive discussion on Red Meat Levy repatriation. I followed our discussion with a formal letter which was sent on the 12 November.
I will continue to push for a solution to be in place as soon as possible and at the most recent Quadrilateral meeting, of the 19 November, I urged UK Government to ensure the scheme detail is developed in parallel to the legislation progressing through Parliament.
I am pleased the Red Meat Levy clause has been accepted by the Commons Committee and forms part of the Agriculture Bill at Part 8, Clause 29. The Agriculture Bill, including the Red Meat Levy clause now awaits scrutiny by the House of Lords.
My officials and I will continue to liaise with UK Government officials and the appropriate Levy Bodies around the development of the scheme detail and the progression of the legislation.
