Economic Situation: Wales

Question for Wales Office

UIN 903568, tabled on 30 January 2018

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what recent discussions he has had with the Welsh Government on the effect on the economy of Wales of the UK leaving the EU.

There has been, and will continue to be, constructive engagement with the Welsh Government.

Their own statistics estimate trade to the rest of the UK could account for 80% of all Welsh exports. It’s clear that we must work together to support the UK internal market, ensuring that no new barriers to living and doing business in the UK are created as we leave the EU.
