Thank you very much, Llywydd. On these benches we are gravely concerned about the Trade Bill in general terms and about the broad and destructive possibilities of having new trade deals with nations such as the USA that could undermine our public services entirely, as well as the foods that we eat on a daily basis. Who knows what they will look like? We're also concerned about the loss of powers in areas that have been devolved to this place for 20 years. That is the concern about the future of the Sewel convention, as we have discussed in the Constitutional and Legislative Affairs Committee, and the Chair has just expressed those views again. We're also concerned that the UK Government is ignoring Wales and is ignoring the Welsh Government on a daily basis in the Brexit negotiations, and, in terms of scrutiny in this legislature, we are also concerned that powers are being taken from this Senedd more generally into the Welsh Government, as well as powers being taken from this place to the other end of the M4 in Westminster. We are losing powers on both sides—from the legislature itself to the Welsh Government, and from the Welsh Government to Westminster.

Now, Plaid Cymru voted against the original legislative consent motion for four specific reasons on that day, and not one of these has changed as a result of the amendments approved in the House of Lords. The amendment passed does scrap the need for Welsh Ministers to have the consent of UK Ministers before making regulations under the Trade Bill, but it doesn't deliver what Plaid Cymru has been calling for, namely to ensure a role for this Parliament in using such powers. Our concern about the impact on the Sewel convention remains, as does our concern about the possibility that the timeline for the implementation of these powers will be extended and our concern about the lack of detail as to how the UK trade remedies authority will operate. We are therefore not in a position to be able to approve this supplementary LCM today and we will be voting against the motion.
