Part of 1. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:47 pm on 20 September 2016.
Does anyone here know what Conservative policy is, either in the UK or Wales, in terms of Brexit? Do you know what they say about Brexit? ‘Brexit means Brexit.’ Brilliant. Brilliant. What a fantastic leap of logic. I have no idea what his position is on Europe—absolutely no idea whatsoever. What I can say to him is that all of us on this side of the Chamber know full well that access to the single market for goods and services is vital for Welsh industry. Will he support that? Will he support that? Will he support the proposition that we need to be able to sell in one of the biggest markets in the world—bigger than America and Russia concerned—without any trade barriers? That is the question that was being asked of me by US investors when I was in the US. If he had been there, he wouldn’t even have given them an answer.
