Well, I listened to the comments made by the leader of Plaid Cymru over the weekend, and they were identical to the comments, except for one issue, that I’ve made in the past. The only issue that is different is the terminology that’s used—she uses ‘membership’; we use ‘participation’. I don’t seek to say that there’s any difference between us in terms of what the outcome would be. But what is clear to me, first of all, is that, last week, the UK Governments itself didn’t know what exactly the article 50 letter would look like. I have to say that I advised the Prime Minister; I thought that the shorter the better would be the best for her. We’ll see what the letter actually looks like.

In terms of EU citizens, I have to say that there are still EU citizens in Wales who are concerned. Yesterday, I met with the Romanian ambassador. The Romanian community is quite small, but some of them are concerned that they’ll be deported, literally. It’s not a fear that is grounded in fact, but people saw what happened in the US and they have extrapolated that to the situation here. I have sought to, obviously, allay some of those fears. To my perspective, what is absolutely critical is that, as soon as possible, the issue of EU citizens living across the European Union, and UK citizens living in other countries of the EU, is resolved quickly in order to remove that uncertainty.

And, on the economy, she and I are in exactly the same place: access to the single market, no imposition of tariffs. The ability to have full and unfettered access to the single market is absolutely crucial for an economy such as ours, where 67 per cent of our exports go to the EU.
