Well, Llywydd, it's absolutely in the interests of working people throughout Wales, whether they are in manufacturing industries, where goods pass across the border of the United Kingdom and other parts of the European Union every single day, or whether in our food and agriculture sectors, where exporters rely on their goods arriving fresh at the point where they are to be consumed—it's absolutely in the interests of Welsh businesses and Welsh working people that we have free and frictionless trade. That's what the customs union delivers, and, when we have barriers at the border, and we have businesses in Wales that can no longer trade as a result of the prospectus that he sets out, we'll be diverting them to the Member so that he can explain to them just the position that he has led us to.
