Part of 2. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:51 pm on 11 October 2016.
I don’t intend, Llywydd, to rehearse the arguments about the winter of discontent in 1979, which led to all the cuts that took place in the 1980s; we’re here to talk about the twenty-first century, not the twentieth. But, looking forward to the future, although the First Minister won’t accept his responsibility for this record of failure, isn’t it clear that we now need to create in Wales an enterprise economy, a low-tax jurisdiction, relatively speaking, and one where we have proportionate regulation? The opportunity that Brexit provides gives us the tools with which to achieve what both he and I want, which is greater prosperity for the Welsh people?
