Well, I thank the Member for his questions. I will just say, I simply do not share his optimistic outlook on the trade prospects for the UK outside the European Union—£3 out of every £4 earned by Welsh businesses from exports are earned by virtue of our membership of the European Union, and I think we throw that away at our peril, and much more importantly, at the peril of those business who look to us and look to Parliament to protect their interest.

He mentions the discussions in relation to future trade arrangements. He will, I think, recall that one of the points that we have pressed regularly with the UK Government is that the Welsh Government should be involved in preparing negotiating mandates for international negotiations. This is a practical step so that the UK’s negotiating positions command credibility, where they require implementation by the Welsh Government in Wales, but also it will be to respect the devolution boundary. And whilst it is the case that we have seen some progress in relation to that, we are very far short of the UK Government living up to that particular obligation that we seek from them, and I would urge him to do everything he can to seek to persuade his colleagues in Westminster of the virtue of our position.
