Question to the Wales Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, whether he has identified any risks arising from the UK leaving the EU that are specific to Wales and the Welsh economy.

Since the referendum I have been engaging with stakeholders throughout Wales to hear their views on how we make Brexit work for Wales, including through my expert panel of stakeholders. Many of the issues they have raised are common across the whole of the UK.

Where issues have been brought to my attention, the Office of the Secretary of State for Wales has worked with the Department for Exiting the European Union, and other Government departments, to fully consider these as part of achieving a deal that works for all parts of the United Kingdom.

I will continue to work with other Government departments, my expert panel of stakeholders, the Welsh Government, and the National Assembly for Wales, to support the Welsh economy and promote a prosperous Wales within a strong United Kingdom.
