Well, I’ve visited Flanders a number of times, of course, and as the Member says, there is an historic connection and it’s also a very sad connection between Wales and Flanders. Well, what’s important for me is that we urge the United Kingdom Government to give us some kind of indication of what their plans are because nobody has a clue at the moment what exactly they wish to see at the end of this process, and we wish to ensure, through the discussions taking place at present, that, first of all, the withdrawal Bill will be amended in a way that is acceptable to Wales and also to Scotland, and also to urge the United Kingdom Government to secure an agreement that would be of benefit to both Wales and, of course, the UK.
