2. Notes that the people of Wales voted to leave the European Union.

3. Calls upon the Welsh Government to support the UK Government in protecting the integrity of the United Kingdom as we leave the EU.

 

[If amendment 1 is agreed, amendments 2 and 3 will be de-selected] 

Amendment 2 - Gareth Bennett (South Wales Central)

Delete all and replace with:

To propose that the National Assembly for Wales:

1.  Recognises that it is the decided will of the people that the United Kingdom leaves the European Union, which was expressed in a referendum held less than 27 months ago.

2. Calls upon politicians opposed to the United Kingdom leaving the EU to respect the recently expressed wishes of Welsh and British voters and stop trying to undermine the Brexit process.

3. Calls upon the Welsh Government to work with the UK Government to secure the best deal for Wales and the UK, outside the EU, the single market and the customs union.

 

[If amendment 2 is agreed, amendment 3 will be de-selected] 

Amendment 3 - Julie James (Swansea West)

Delete all after “believes that” and replace with:

the option of a people’s vote must be kept on the table and in particular if the Prime Minister is unable to secure agreement on the final terms of the UK’s exit from the European Union and there is no subsequent general election, then the people must decide on the way forward.
