Minister, thank you for your statement. Since the people of Wales voted to leave the European Union on 23 June 2016, you and your Government have fought tooth and nail to prevent Brexit from happening. Court cases, calls for a second referendum and an out-and-out rejection of the mandate of the people of this country who voted to leave the European Union.

Minister, in your statement, you mentioned about new responsibilities coming to the Senedd, and I think that's a really positive thing because it actually makes people in this place more accountable to the people who elect us here. I also don't agree with you, as you can probably gather, on your statement about the UK Government's hostilities towards devolution. As the Prime Minister himself has said, he likes devolution; the problem is we've had the same Government here since 1999, having record failure for the people of Wales.

Minister, I do have a couple of questions for you. Can you please outline—I know you've outlined a little bit here—about the appointment of former Welsh Labour MEP Derek Vaughan, and the remit of his role and how he's going to work with UK Government officials within the EU to best benefit Wales? And can you also outline what discussions you've had regarding opportunities for Wales with the UK department of trade to make sure that our businesses here can be a part of a truly global Britain? And finally, will you take this opportunity to apologise to the majority of the people of Wales and retract the actions, comments and statements made by you and your Government in relation to Brexit, and embrace the opportunities that Brexit brings for the people of Wales?
