Thank you for your answer, Counsel General. As you may be aware, the case was actually heard in the European Court of Justice this week, and we are now awaiting the decision by the ECJ. Have you yet made arrangements with your colleagues in the other nations to have a discussion on the outcome of that case, because, as you highlighted, it does put the legal position on the possibility of revocation of article 50? And considering the mess we're currently in with the UK Government, and the chaos that might ensue in two weeks' time, when it's likely that the vote will be such that they will not get this deal through, will you therefore meet with your colleagues, to look at what possibilities would be existing to extend or revoke article 50 if it comes in favour, so that we can actually keep on negotiating, so that we get a deal that suits Wales and not that suits Theresa May?
