Following on from Steffan’s point on EU nationals working in the United Kingdom, today marks the sixty-ninth anniversary of the establishment of the NHS. I think there’s evidence to suggest that there are fewer people now registering to work in the NHS from the EU as a direct consequence of that Brexit vote. Today, I’ve relaunched the ‘Diolch Doc’ campaign, encouraging people in Wales to thank the people from overseas who work and help us in our NHS. But that’s not the question I wanted to ask. The question I wanted to ask was: does the finance Minister agree that the Act that triggered the Brexit process could have a technical flaw in it, in that whilst the Act does authorise the Prime Minister to notify the EU that we intend to leave, it does not, as it’s written, indicate that we should leave?

Now, I understand that coming from an EU enthusiast like me, that’s going to sound like a ruse to stop us from leaving the EU, but it’s not—it’s a genuine question of whether the Act, as it is drafted, could be challenged in court. Would the finance Secretary be prepared to look into this to seek clarifications from Government legal experts?
