Can I say to the Member, of course, that I do acknowledge the fact that complexity is something that we need to consider when we plan for the future of local authorities? If ideas come forward when people are considering the White Paper about what we can do to simplify things and to make the system more accountable to local people in future, then I am open to hearing what people say. In principle, I don’t think that the things that are noted in our White Paper are going to do more to create more complexity than what was in the Plaid Cymru manifesto in the last election, when Plaid Cymru said:

Byddwn yn deddfu i sefydlu... awdurdodau cyfunol rhanbarthol.

Buasai’r un dadleuon yn ymhlyg yn y cynnig hwnnw, ac rwy’n awyddus i ddod o hyd i ffyrdd o fynd i’r afael â hwy a cheisio eu datrys, ac rwy’n siŵr y bydd y trafodaethau a fydd yn digwydd yn ystod y Papur Gwyn yn ein helpu i roi sylw i’r materion a nododd ac a rannaf gyda hi fel materion pwysig i’w datrys.
