How and when will Wales enjoy the alleged benefits of the regulatory alignment that will be enjoyed by Northern Ireland? How can it possibly work?
The Prime Minister

We believe that we can achieve that through the overall relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union. That is what we will be working for.
