Would the First Minister agree that we are facing the decisions of two referendums that conflict with each other? First of all, the referendum to leave the European Union—the result was clear, but by a small majority. But there is another important referendum for us in this place, which is the referendum that was held in 2011, when the people of Wales voted to add legal powers to the powers of this place. Isn’t it therefore entirely inappropriate that we should pass a legislative consent motion to a Bill that withdraws powers from the Parliament of Wales?
