Thank you very much, Deputy Presiding Officer. It’s my pleasure to move this motion in the name of Plaid Cymru. We are, of course, of the view that students from outside of the UK, be they from within the EU or outwith the EU, do bring cultural, economic and educational benefits to our universities and colleges here in Wales, and indeed to broader society. It’s important, therefore, in light of the major changes that are facing us on a constitutional level, that that should continue and, indeed, that we do what we can to strengthen those international relations between our universities and the European Union and the rest of the world.
