Thank you, Llywydd. May I also thank the Counsel General for his statement this afternoon, which has more than explained to us the constitutional and political importance of all that he has been able to achieve? I would briefly refer to three elements: first of all, that the devolved nations and the devolved Governments have spoken with three voices but almost singing from the same hymn sheet, namely, that the arguments put forward were arguments that clearly demonstrated the nature of the UK constitution. That has been a key contribution.

I also think that the door that’s been very clearly opened in this judgment by the Supreme Court as to what will happen when we exit the European Union and how competencies in the devolved institutions may be changed—that that window is clearly now open to us. In this context, if I could assist Simon Thomas in his understanding of these issues, in that situation, that is where the Sewel convention is so crucial, because, as we discuss these issues, the Sewel convention is now in the Scotland Act and will be in the Wales Act. The process on those two Bills is completed, which means that the constitutional practice of not legislating in a contrary way in Westminster or in Wales in relation to each other is now enshrined in legislation. What is important, I would suggest, Counsel General, is that that principle should extend to European legislation as it is disapplied in its impact on the UK, and that the appropriate competencies should come to this place.

Therefore, I think your analysis of where we stand justifies the work undertaken by the Welsh Government, and all power to you in the future.
