Diolch i Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet am yr ymateb hwnnw. A yw’n ymwybodol o’r arolwg a gomisiynwyd gan Gomisiynydd Plant a Phobl Ifanc Gogledd Iwerddon a oedd yn dangos bod 63 y cant o bobl yng Ngogledd Iwerddon bellach yn cefnogi gwarchod plant yn gyfreithiol rhag taro, smacio, ac unrhyw fath o ymosodiad yn wir? A yw hefyd yn ymwybodol fod yr Aelod o Senedd yr Alban, John Finnie, i fod i gyflwyno Bil Aelod yn Senedd yr Alban yn ystod yr wythnosau nesaf i ddiddymu’r amddiffyniad o ymosodiad cyfiawnadwy mewn perthynas â chosbi plant yn gorfforol yn yr Alban? A yw Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet yn cytuno ei bod yn ddefnyddiol iawn i ni yng Nghymru, ac i Lywodraeth Cymru, edrych ar yr hyn sy’n digwydd mewn gwledydd eraill mewn perthynas â chosbi plant yn gorfforol a’n cynlluniau arfaethedig ein hunain?
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.
