Diolch yn fawr iawn, Lywydd. Rydw i’n gwybod bod yr Ysgrifennydd Cabinet yn rhoi pwyslais mawr ar ddatblygu’r berthynas efo gogledd-orllewin Lloegr ac, wrth gwrs, mae hi’n berthynas naturiol iawn ac mae hi yn berthynas bwysig iawn. Ond, onid oes yna beryg o golli golwg ar bwysigrwydd datblygu economi gogledd Cymru ynddo fo ei hun, datblygu perthynas i’r gorllewin efo Iwerddon, a gyda gweddill Cymru hefyd, drwy roi yr argraff o fodloni ar fod yn rhyw fath yn ‘annexe’ i’r economi dros y ffin?
The cabinet is the group of twenty or so (and no more than 22) senior government ministers who are responsible for running the departments of state and deciding government policy.
It is chaired by the prime minister.
The cabinet is bound by collective responsibility, which means that all its members must abide by and defend the decisions it takes, despite any private doubts that they might have.
Cabinet ministers are appointed by the prime minister and chosen from MPs or peers of the governing party.
However, during periods of national emergency, or when no single party gains a large enough majority to govern alone, coalition governments have been formed with cabinets containing members from more than one political party.
War cabinets have sometimes been formed with a much smaller membership than the full cabinet.
From time to time the prime minister will reorganise the cabinet in order to bring in new members, or to move existing members around. This reorganisation is known as a cabinet re-shuffle.
The cabinet normally meets once a week in the cabinet room at Downing Street.
