The complainant requested information relating to an agreement between the Welsh Government and Bangor University regarding the development and maintenance of the Termiadur Addysg, a Welsh language terminology resource.  He also requested a complete copy of the Termiadur Addysg. The complaint to the Commissioner concerns the request for a copy of the Termiadur Addysg. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Welsh Government does not hold the information itself, nor is it held by Bangor University on behalf of the Welsh Government in accordance with section 3(2)(b) of the FOIA. However, the Welsh Government breached section 10 of the FOIA in failing to comply with section 1 within the statutory time for compliance. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken. Please note that both English and Welsh language versions of the decision notice are included in the PDF below. Crynodeb: Gofynnodd yr achwynydd am wybodaeth ynghylch cytundeb rhwng Llywodraeth Cymru a Phrifysgol Bangor ynglŷn â datblygu a chynnal y Termiadur Addysg, sy’n adnodd terminoleg Cymraeg.  Gofynnodd hefyd am gopi cyflawn o’r Termiadur Addysg. Mae’r gŵyn i’r Comisiynydd yn ymwneud â’r cais am gopi o’r Termiadur Addysg. Penderfyniad y Comisiynydd yw nad yw’r wybodaeth yn cael ei dal gan Lywodraeth Cymru ei hun, ac nad yw’n cael ei dal gan Brifysgol Bangor ychwaith ar ran Llywodraeth Cymru yn unol ag adran 3(2)(b) o’r Ddeddf. Er hynny, fe dorrodd Llywodraeth Cymru adran 10 o’r Ddeddf drwy fethu cydymffurfio ag adran 1 o fewn yr amser statudol ar gyfer cydymffurfio. Nid yw’r Comisiynydd yn gofyn i unrhyw gamau gael eu cymryd. Sylwch fod fersiwn Cymraeg a fersiwn Saesneg o’r hysbysiad penderfynu wedi’u cynnwys yn y PDF isod.
