(Translated)

Thank you, Llywydd. I move amendment 3 in the name of Siân Gwenllian, and just to quote, We regret

‘the dismal record of the Labour Welsh Government that has been in power continuously since the inception of devolution.’

We further believe

‘that successive Westminster UK Governments – under both Labour and the Conservatives – have presided over intergenerational poverty and underinvestment in Wales.’

We further believe

‘that decisions about Wales’s future should be made by those who live and work here.’

We also believe

‘that having the economic and fiscal levers of an independent country is the key to Wales’s future prosperity.’

And we also agree

‘that the power to call a future referendum on independence should lie with the elected representatives of the people of Wales free from any veto by Westminster.‘
