Part of 2. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:51 pm on 4 October 2016.
Well, I see now the leader of UKIP is quick to defend the Tories. I mean, Damian Green was asked several times—I saw it—by Andrew Neil, ‘Are you saying that doctors will be deported?’, and he just wouldn’t answer the question. What he said was, ‘They’re welcome whilst they’re necessary’. Then, of course, he went on to say, ‘Well, of course, under a Labour Government there wouldn’t be any deportation’, as if that was a bad thing—a bad thing. He wants to see deportations, it seems to me.
The reality is that we in Wales offer a welcome to doctors. We offer a welcome to people who come and live in our country on an annual basis. We’d even offer him a welcome, if he chose to live in Wales, as well. [Laughter.]
