Question to the Wales Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what recent assessment he has made of the potential effect on the Welsh economy of the UK leaving the EU.

The Welsh economy approaches its departure from the EU in a very strong position. Since 2010, Wales has been the fastest growing part of the UK outside London and exports to countries outside the EU have increased by £400 million.

Last week my Rt hon Friend the Prime Minister set out this Government’s plan to build a stronger, fairer, more global Britain. I am confident that Wales will grasp the opportunities presented and play its role as part of a stronger United Kingdom.
