The customs union refers to the travelling of goods, and the single market as a whole looks at goods and services. So, the customs union is just specific to goods.

Why is the Welsh Government failing to align with a UK-fudged Labour position? We know that in the joint White Paper, as Rhun ap Iorwerth pointed out yesterday, every single positive reference to the customs union is to the existing EU one, not to a new, bespoke customs union, which does not yet exist and will have to be negotiated into being. Now, we may be used to the Welsh voice going unheard, but we do have the ability to speak out as an Assembly and to put pressure on both the Government and the opposition at Westminster, and that pressure is strongest when we can all speak as one. The recent shift by the UK opposition is too little to protect the Welsh national interest, but there could be further shifts on both the opposition and the Government benches as the debate continues. So, let us today endorse an Assembly majority position in favour of the EU customs union to uphold that Welsh national interest.
