Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 5:31 pm on 24 October 2017.
Why have you rejected the invitation for the Welsh Government to be present at the Secretary of State’s expert implementation panel for Wales, working to deliver a smooth and orderly exit from the EU in Wales? It’s going through functions in detail with the senior UK Ministers and officials directly involved in negotiations and you could be there, but Wales is missing out. The invitation to the Welsh Government, however, remains. Will you accept that invitation or will you continue to do things in parallel? Will you engage directly and accept the offer to engage directly with those senior officials and Ministers, or will you continue to throw your toys out of the pram?
