Ddoe, cyhoeddodd Newsquest ei fod yn cau ei ganolfan yng Nghasnewydd, gan golli 14 o swyddi. Yn anffodus, wrth gwrs, mae hyn yn adlewyrchiad o'r duedd gyffredinol ymhlith y cyfryngau print, ac, yn amlwg, rydym agored iawn i hynny yma yng Nghymru. Sylwaf fod Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr economi yn y Siambr. Tybed a allem gael datganiad ysgrifenedig o leiaf ganddo, a allai gynnwys gwybodaeth efallai am natur penderfyniad Newsquest i ddod â’i weithrediadau yng Nghasnewydd i ben ond eu cadw yn Weymouth, ac, yn benodol ac yn bwysig iawn, pa ymyriad y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn ei gynnig i gefnogi aelodau’r staff yno, o ran eu gobeithion am yrfa yn y dyfodol. Hefyd, yn fy marn i, gallai hyn fod yn gatalydd eto i fwy o ymyrraeth gan Lywodraeth Cymru yn gyffredinol yn sector y cyfryngau print, wrth inni symud ymlaen.
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.
