Question to the Wales Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what assessment he has made of the implications for his policies of the proposals on the UK leaving the EU in the Welsh Government's paper Securing Wales' Future.

The Welsh Government’s white paper Securing Wales’ Future was discussed by UK Government and Welsh Government Ministers at the February meeting of the Joint Ministerial Committee (European Negotiations) and official level discussions followed that.

The Welsh Government and the UK Government share many common aims, including securing the freest possible trade access to the EU and ensuring that our immigration system continues to allow us to recruit the brightest and the best from around the world. We remain committed to positive and productive engagement with the Welsh Government to deliver an EU exit that works for Wales.
