Part of 1. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:31 pm on 20 June 2017.
Well, I think the first thing that we have to be clear about is what the nature of Brexit might look like. We’re still no clearer as to what that might mean. His party and, indeed, ourselves as a Government, have been very clear that it means full and unfettered access to the single market. Until we have an idea of what the future holds for Welsh businesses, then it will be difficult to give them the certainty that they require. That said, it is hugely important that we work with our businesses in order to make sure that they’re able to procure as many Welsh contracts, certainly, as possible, and to press on the UK Government that they should not reduce the ability of Welsh businesses to do business in Europe in the future.
