Thank you, Llywydd. As the UK prepares to enter into a new phase of negotiations that could fundamentally alter the Welsh and UK economies for decades to come, trade policy has come to the fore. The general election has made clear that Brexit will happen, and with it the potential for multiple parallel trade negotiations arises. And it's worth noting as well that the general election also saw Welsh Labour's share of the vote exceed that in 2010 and 2015, and all Senedd elections, other than in 2011. So, the Welsh Government still has a clear mandate to speak up for Wales across the UK, particularly on devolved issues.

The Senedd passed a motion in December calling for a formal role for devolved institutions in negotiations on international agreements. The External Affairs and Additional Legislation Committee has also published a report providing more detailed recommendations. All of those appear to me to be sensible, and I will respond formally to them in the next month. I'm keen to work closely with the committee to ensure that they remain informed on developments.
