I welcome the opportunity to take part in this debate. Tomorrow every citizen over the age of 18 from every part of the UK gets to decide whether we remain as part of the European Union or whether we become independent once more. This is democracy. People can decide and they can choose for themselves. It will be of little surprise to anyone that I believe that Wales is better off out. My colleagues will be making the economic arguments, the security arguments and the political arguments for why Wales would be better off outside the EU.

I want to focus my comments today on the health arguments for leaving. Under European law, Governments and citizens of other European Economic Area countries and Switzerland reimburse the UK for the cost of the NHS providing treatment to people they are responsible for, just as the UK reimburses other EEA countries and Switzerland for the cost of providing treatment to people we are responsible for. However, figures obtained by the Labour MP, John Mann, show a huge deficit to the UK. The UK paid out a staggering £674 million to European countries for their health costs last year, but we only received £49 million in return. We are subsidising the healthcare of other EU countries. [Interruption.] We are.
