QNR – in the Senedd on 10 July 2019.
I continue to press the UK Government for clarity on our role in the next phase of negotiations. As I set out at the meeting of the Joint Ministerial Committee on EU negotiations last month, reaching agreement on many areas is a constitutional necessity.
The UK Government has committed a number of times to respect devolution in developing the Shared Prosperity Fund, but their actions have resolutely not done so. We urgently need certainty that our devolved competences will be respected as well as confirmation of replacement EU funding in full.
Visit Wales is working closely with VisitBritain and across Welsh Government in preparing for the impact of Brexit on tourism in Wales. We are adopting a proactive yet flexible marketing approach in a number of international markets, including Ireland, and are continually monitoring the situation as it evolves.
While the Welsh Government cannot protect all businesses from the wide ranging damaging impacts of Brexit, it is doing all it can to support businesses in preparations for EU exit and this support is available to businesses in all parts of Wales.
