Well, I thank the Member for her further question. She's right to highlight the significance of the automotive sector to the Welsh economy. It employs about 11 per cent of the manufacturing workforce, which is around 18,500 people in Wales, and brings in revenue of around £3 billion. So, it's a very, very significant contributor to the Welsh economy. She's right to highlight the damage that trading on WTO terms would cause to the sector—and, indeed, operating outside a customs union. PwC recently estimated that deliveries to Germany from the UK, which can currently be achieved in around 12 hours, could take up to 72 hours. She will know, I know, that the impact that that has on the just-in-time supply chain arrangements of the automotive sector is going to be very, very significant.

The Minister for Economy and Transport issued a written statement earlier this year describing ongoing activity to support and promote the Welsh automotive sector in this difficult time. He's also met key players from the industry, including those, for example, earlier in the year affected by the Honda announcement, which was an announcement geographically in England but had knock-on effects for us here in Wales. There are 20 Honda suppliers in Wales, some of them very significantly exposed to that company.

She will also know of the support that the Welsh Government has given, both in terms of skills investment and in other terms, through the European transition fund, for example, to the automotive sector. We continue to lobby the UK Government to ensure that we do not leave the European Union on terms that would impose punishing tariffs and non-tariff barriers on the automotive industry and, indeed, other important sectors to our economy.
