Rwy’n ddiolchgar i’r Ysgrifennydd Cabinet am ei ateb ystyrlon. Fe glywom ni yn y Pwyllgor Economi, Isadeiledd a Sgiliau y bore yma gonsýrn gan Sefydliad Bevan, er enghraifft, a gan yr Athro Karel Williams, bod gorddibyniaeth ar y model ac ar y map sydd, yn y de, ar sail y dinas-ranbarthau, yn y gogledd ar y fargen twf i ogledd Cymru, a'r perig o ddiwallu—o lastwreiddio’r ffocws, yn hytrach—ar yr ardaloedd mwyaf difreintiedig yng ngogledd y Cymoedd, er enghraifft, neu yng ngogledd-orllewin Cymru. A fyddai fe yn edrych ar y syniadau amgen sy’n cael eu cyflwyno gan Sefydliad Bevan ynglŷn â chreu parth menter i’r Cymoedd ac, a dweud y gwir, gan fy mhlaid i ynglŷn a chreu fersiwn newydd o’r Bwrdd Datblygu Cymru Wledig mewn ffordd, a hefyd asiantaeth datblygu pwrpasol i’r Cymoedd?
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.
