The Member helpfully draws attention to the statements that exist within the European Union and elsewhere, and that is reflected entirely in what I said that, as a Welsh Government, we believe in the respect of democratic principles and democratic politics as the way to resolve constitutional and other disputes. But the Member is also right to say that these are responsibilities of the UK Government. That Government will hear what other parties and other elected politicians say and it’s right that people use this forum to make those views known. The Welsh Government has to respect the responsibilities that have been devolved to us and that’s what I intend to do.
