Exactly, but it is clear that one of the major risks of exiting the European Union is that some of those who were on the leave side of the campaign, including some of those who funded that campaign, have an ideological vision that is very different to the one that you and I hold: the UK as a low-taxation nation, where public services are privatised, and where employers can treat their employees as they choose, without any safeguarding of workers' rights, for example, for women on maternity, and so on and so forth. I know that that isn't what you or I would want for Wales. So, how can your Government prepare to safeguard these rights—the rights of people, the rights of women and disabled people—against efforts to weaken those rights that are currently part of the make-up of our nation, partly because of European legislation?
