Can I thank the leader of the house for that answer? Irrespective of our views on the merits of Brexit, there are thousands of migrant workers in Wales, including in my own constituency, who do important work and deserve total clarity as we negotiate our future arrangements with the EU. Would the leader of the house agree that while the UK Government has published a technical document for those EU citizens applying for settled status, which is suggesting a grace period of two years following Brexit, there remains a lack of clarity, particularly in relation to families, which is a worry for those people from Wales who work in the EU, as well as EU citizens working in the UK? Would you further agree that this is an unnecessary economic risk to the well-being of our country?
