Part of 2. Questions to the Counsel General and Brexit Minister (in respect of his Brexit Minister responsibilities) – in the Senedd at 2:35 pm on 13 February 2019.
May I ask the Minister, with just a few weeks to go, isn’t it going to be a cause of concern for people that that work hasn’t been completed? We’ve known for some time that there was a possibility of a no-deal exit, and, with just a few weeks remaining, we still don’t know what goods and medicines we are talking about.
May I also ask him whether he is aware of any contingency plans by the police forces in Wales to put police officers on standby to respond to any civil disputes, or disputes in our ports should there be a 'no deal' Brexit? And if you have had those discussions, could you give some details on the number of officers we are talking about? Do these contingency arrangements include responding to crises in other parts of the UK, including Northern Ireland? Can you tell us whether local authorities, other emergency services and any other public sector bodies are involved in this planning work?
