Thank you very much. I think it is important, however, to underline that we failed to convince the Government to ensure that legislative and executive powers in all areas in the devolved settlement should be devolved.

This Bill comes at a momentous time for our country—a time when our nation, our continent and the world seem more unpredictable than ever before. It’s far from ideal, but it’s this or nothing. I believe that, because of our vulnerability as a nation at this point, the only responsible action is to support the Bill.
