Diolch. I thank the First Minister for that answer. Of course, it’s the mood music around the tabling of the idea of a European repeal Bill that is perhaps an inevitable part of a hard Brexit scenario and which has deeper and far-reaching consequences. I’m quite concerned about the nature of the way in which the Prime Minister made her announcement and, indeed, the way that the First Minister of this country was informed of that decision. I wonder if he can elaborate further on whether there will be a requirement for this institution to adopt a parallel process in terms of a European repeal Bill for European law that is to do with devolved matters, or whether instead there would be a requirement for this institution and other devolved Parliaments to consent to the UK legislation.

In addition, there is rightly growing concern that the so-called great repeal Bill could be more of a great power grab, enabling Westminster to centralise power and prevent repatriated powers from being devolved to this place. What action is the First Minister proposing to prevent that power grab from happening? This repeal Bill proposal poses wider questions now about our national future and the nature of our political union with the United Kingdom. Will he take this opportunity to define clearly what he means by ‘a more federal union’ and how his plans to deliver that can work within the framework of the announcement made by the Prime Minister earlier this week?

We are told in addition, alongside this announcement, that the Welsh Government will not have a seat at the negotiating table with the European Union. On this point, can the First Minister confirm or deny that his demands for a seat at the table were indeed a demand for a seat at the table, or does he have a different definition? In light of the announcement by Theresa May, will the First Minister further consider another u-turn on a Welsh veto of the final Brexit settlement? And, finally, now that the UK Government is signalling its intent for the hardest possible Brexit, will he now reflect on what his own Government can do to defend the national interest, and, particularly, to defend our place in the European market?
