I think he's partly referring to the report commissioned by Jill Evans in this area, which I've had the opportunity of reading part of and there are many creative arguments in there for the continuation of European citizenship. When I was a member of the Brexit committee, the External Affairs and Additional Legislation Committee, we visited the European Parliament and met with Guy Verhofstadt there who has a very clear view on this area. Members may know that this morning, a matter of hours ago, the European Parliament passed a resolution at 544 votes in favour, 110 against, which supported the position in relation to ensuring that UK and EU citizens' rights should not be adversely affected by Brexit, which is a key issue for the Parliament's consent in due course. So, that has reinforced the argument about not damaging the rights of Welsh, UK or EU citizens in this regard.

I think it's an area where there's obviously disagreement between the UK Government and the EU 27. It's one where I think we need some creativity to resolve that issue. The Welsh Government's position, which it advocates for strongly with the UK Government, is to ensure that the rights of Welsh citizens as part of the UK are protected with regard to this. And that's consistent with having a migration system that is managed but flexible and gets us as close as possible to continued access—full and unfettered access—to the single market. It's really important though that the position's clarified as quickly as possible in the interests of Welsh citizens and in the interests of the rest of the EU, because these are not just academic discussions, these are not just legalistic discussions, these are the lives of individuals and decisions they're having to make every day in relation to their future residence.
