Thank you very much, Presiding Officer. I’d like to ask the First Minister about his interpretation of the letter that was sent. One of the points made was that the Prime Minister said that she would fulfil her responsibilities as a member state. Does that mean that the UK Government will cough up in terms of commitments entered into with other member states, and can we, therefore, expect to pay a large bill?

I just wondered whether the First Minister would also agree with me—. The Prime Minister has said previously that she wants to represent the views of every single individual in the United Kingdom. I’d just like to make it clear that she will not be representing my views, and I wonder if she’ll be representing yours.
