Question to the Wales Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what discussions he had with the First Minister of Wales on the content of the Prime Minister's statement of 10 May 2020 in advance of that statement being made.

My Rt Hon Friends the Prime Minister, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and I are in regular discussions with the First Minister of Wales on our Governments’ response to Covid-19. These discussions are part of on-going and regular dialogue between the governments at all levels as part of the UK-wide response to the pandemic. The overall approach in responding to the pandemic remains aligned across the UK, with each government able to modify that approach to reflect the needs of each constituent nation of the United Kingdom.
