10. What recent discussions he has had with key stakeholders on the potential effect of the UK leaving the EU on Wales.

[The Secretary of State for Wales (Alun Cairns)]

Since the referendum in June, I have had discussions with a wide range of stakeholders across Wales, from the Wales Council for Voluntary Action, to the farming unions, the CBI Wales and the Institute of Directors in Wales, to hear their views on how to secure the best deal for Wales and the UK as we leave the EU. Those conversations are informing my discussions with Cabinet colleagues, as well as with the Welsh Government.
