Thanks to the additional legislation committee for bringing today’s debate. It is on an important issue. There are economic complications that will inevitably arise from Brexit, and I don’t seek to minimise them. I don’t want to see these problems exaggerated for political effect because my view is that the people of the UK have had their say, and they want Brexit; that is what they voted for, and that is also what Wales voted for. So, perhaps our old friend Eluned Morgan needs to just occasionally remember that outcome. [Interruption.] Okay, that’s your view, if you think that the electorate of the entire UK is so credulous as to swallow a lot of lies, then that is certainly a reflection on your view of the electorate, and it’s not a very good reflection.
