Thank you. I wonder if we’ll now see another Supreme Court case, and I’m sure that you’d agree that that would be a damning verdict on the Wales Act. Plaid Cymru voted against the legislative competence motion on the Wales Act because we were of the view that it could lead to a Westminster power grab. Would you agree that this now looks like a vindication of our position on that vote?

There is agreement across most of this Chamber that the Wales Act is not going to provide a lasting settlement, as the UK Government stated its objective was to achieve. Will you state today whether you believe that the Wales Act 2017 is unworkable? If you do think it’s unworkable, do you support Plaid Cymru’s call for a new Wales Bill immediately?
