NNDM6958 - The Prospects for a Brexit Deal Following the House of Commons Vote
NNDM6958 Rebecca
Evans (Gower)
To
propose that the National Assembly for Wales:
1.
Condemns the UK Government for its failure to engage in meaningful negotiations
on the EU withdrawal deal on a cross-party basis and in terms of genuine
engagement with the devolved institutions.
2.
Reiterates its view that a no deal outcome would be catastrophic for Wales and
believes that the UK Government and UK Parliament must do everything in their
power to prevent no deal, including requesting an extension of the Article 50
deadline.
3.
Believes if, as it now seems, the UK Parliament cannot unite around an
alternative proposition which includes participation in the single market and a
customs union then the only option which remains is to give the decision back
to the people; and believes that work should begin immediately on preparing for
a public vote.
4.
Believes the UK Parliament should, with immediate effect, step up its
engagement with the devolved legislatures on these issues.

The
following amendments have been tabled:
Amendment
1 - Gareth
Bennett (South Wales Central)
Delete
all and replace with:
To
propose that the National Assembly for Wales:
1.
Regrets that the UK Government’s current position on EU withdrawal
substantially negates the referendum result, by keeping the UK indefinitely in
the customs union and, effectively, in the single market, while depriving us of
any formal voice or vote in European Union decisions.
2.
Calls on the Welsh Government to withdraw its position as set out in “Securing
Wales’s Future”, jointly authored with Plaid Cymru, as this also ignores the
will of the people of the UK, and Wales, who voted decisively to leave the
European Union.
3.
Endorses an exit from the European Union with no deal, without any extension to
Article 50, and under World Trade Organisation terms.
4.
Calls upon the UK Government and the Welsh Government to embrace the
restoration of Britain's national sovereignty outside the European Union.
5.
Calls upon the UK Government and the Welsh Government to accept that we are
leaving the EU on World Trade Organisation terms on 29 March 2019, and to now
concentrate all efforts on preparing for this outcome.
[If amendment 1 is agreed,
amendment 2 will be de-selected]
