Leaving the EU will result in a significant increase in the decision-making powers of the Welsh Assembly and Welsh Government.

This is another step forward in Welsh devolution. It is hard to believe that the last Labour Government left us with the LCO model, which hardly showed confidence in colleagues in Cardiff Bay.
