I wish to begin by expressing my surprise that the Welsh Government has seen fit to recall this Assembly on an issue that is not devolved and relates to procedures in another place. I can only speculate on the reaction here if Westminster was recalled, for example, to discuss some future crisis in the NHS in Wales. The fact is the current parliamentary session in Westminster has been the longest for nearly 400 years, and it has been one of the least active. A new Queen's Speech is overdue and needed if the UK Government is to focus on crucial public priorities. But the Welsh Government has chosen to turn a blind eye to this need and has chosen instead to indulge itself in pointless and ineffective political posturing. We have seen the unedifying spectacle of Labour and Plaid Assembly Members desperately trying to look the most outraged.

We already know the position of the Welsh Government on Brexit. They will campaign for 'remain' in any future EU referendum. Presumably that means that they will campaign against any deal to leave the EU negotiated by a Corbyn Government. I think we should remember at this stage a few facts. By a clear majority the British people voted to leave the European Union in a referendum in 2016. The Prime Minister is committed to actioning the instruction of the people, preferably with a deal, without if need be. Following the recent meeting in Europe, including the G7, there is a more positive mood about the prospect of a deal. However, this is being undermined by MPs who claim to want to stop a 'no deal' Brexit but whose aim is to stop Brexit totally. If Labour, Liberal Democrat, Plaid Cymru and SNP politicians wanted to stop a 'no deal' Brexit, they should have voted for Mrs May's withdrawal agreement instead of playing games for party political advantage.

When Parliament reconvenes on 14 October, after the party conference season, there will still be time to discuss Brexit. I strongly believe that there will be a further move in Europe to get a deal in the next few weeks. [Interruption.] Yes, go on, then.
