Fe gawsom ni ddeialog, llai ystyrlon efallai, ychydig ddyddiau nôl ar draws y Siambr ynglŷn â’r cwestiwn o falans y buddsoddiad gan Lywodraeth Cymru ar draws ein rhanbarthau, a gad i mi bwysleisio nad oes unrhyw beth y byddwn i am ddweud a fyddai’n wrth-Caerdydd, ond a fyddai’r Ysgrifennydd Cabinet yn fodlon ystyried comisiynu ymchwil fel bod gyda ni ystadegau i edrych ar yr agendor sydd yna dros gyfnod o flynyddoedd—mae wedi bod yna dros ddegawdau—ynglŷn â buddsoddiad gan Lywodraeth Cymru yn y gwahanol ranbarthau?
Ac, yn olaf, wrth ffocysu ar gyfle euraid i’r Cymoedd, nid wyf yn gofyn iddo fe ddweud beth fydd penderfyniad Llywodraeth Cymru, ond mae hwn yn rhan o’i gyfrifoldeb ef, a all yr Ysgrifennydd Cabinet ddweud a ydy unrhyw benderfyniad neu unrhyw gyhoeddiad ynglŷn â’r Circuit of Wales yn cael ei effeithio gan reolau Llywodraeth Cymru ynglŷn â ‘purdah’ llywodraeth leol a fydd yn digwydd ymhen 10 diwrnod, neu, gan ei fod yn gyhoeddiad o bwys cenedlaethol, fydd e ddim?
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.
