I will speak briefly about why I believe this motion before us is a valuable one, and why we in Plaid Cymru have been able to come to an agreement on a form of words with the Government, even though there are differences between us on several elements of the Brexit debate. But I think that this is a significant step forward in terms of putting the Assembly’s stamp on the Brexit debate, even though it does feel quite hopeless at present that any influence or any emphasis is given to the voice of our national Parliament in this debate.

Clause 1 reminds us that this is a Conservative Party project—that’s what Brexit is, to all intents and purposes—and that there has been a need from the outset for cross-party talks if the Prime Minister was going to show that any consideration was being given to the opinions of other people. For Darren Millar to say that the Prime Minister has reached out—January 2019 is not the time to do that, when the referendum happened in June 2016. The clause also includes a reference to the need for the devolved administrations to have been listened to clearly from the outset, because there was a valid opinion here that needed to be heard in the debate.
