QNR – in the Senedd on 7 October 2020.
COVID-19 continues to affect the ability of all Governments, businesses and wider society to prepare for the end of transition. We are working on an end-of-transition plan that will be published later in the autumn. This will complement our covid reconstruction plan, which I launched last week.
We continue to assess the impact of the UK Internal Market Bill on Wales as a whole. The Bill's provisions have cross-cutting impact over a number of areas and we will continue to do our utmost to limit the detrimental impact of the Bill on the people of Wales.
The UK Internal Market Bill will absolutely weaken the UK's position in the negotiations with the EU. Rather than seeking to build trust and confidence at this critical point in the negotiations, the UK Government has sought to increase the risk of talks breaking down by threatening to break international law.
