Sustaining jobs in the Welsh economy remains the Welsh Government’s economic priority at a time when employment is threatened by both the impact of the global coronavirus pandemic and the loss of frictionless trade in goods or services with Wales’s largest trading partner.

We have had no meaningful role in the negotiations. Despite our legitimate interests, and continued efforts, the UK Government has excluded the devolved Governments from the decisions on our future relationship with the EU. The outcome of the negotiations will be of the UK Government’s making.

We have worked with every local authority in Wales to ensure no one need sleep rough during this pandemic. That effort will continue in Islwyn, to support people off the streets and into suitable, safe accommodation. £1.6 million every month is being provided to local authorities in support of this inclusive approach.
