Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 5:15 pm on 28 February 2018.
Whether people voted leave or remain, they now want to see a Brexit deal that works for a global UK. The UK Government is therefore committed to delivering control of our money, borders and laws while building a new, deep and special economic and security relationship with the European Union. Plaid Cymru's motion today shows that they're instead continuing to try and frustrate the Brexit process. The same could be said of the First Minister's narrow and continuously recycled suite of arguments. The ambiguity of the UK Labour position, outlined by Jeremy Corbyn this week, adds further to the confusion. So, let us be clear: remaining in the customs union would limit the UK's ability to reach new trade agreements with fast-growing economies and to develop new ways for poorer nations to trade their way out of poverty.
Our amendment, therefore, proposes that this Assembly
'supports Wales and the United Kingdom’s agreement of a new customs arrangement between the UK and the EU, with customs requirements that are as frictionless as possible'—[Interruption.]
I'll finish the quote and then bring you in.
'Building a new, economic and security relationship with the EU whilst enabling the UK to enter new trade agreements internationally.'
David.
