Responding to reports that the First Minister of Wales has urged Prime Minister Boris Johnson to extend the Brexit transition period, the Welsh Conservative Shadow COVID Recovery Minister, Darren Millar MS, said:
“The Welsh Labour Government is up to its old tricks in seeking to undermine the will of the people of Wales by frustrating the Brexit process.
“But with the coronavirus pandemic hitting Wales hard, the last thing we need are delays to the negotiation of a free trade agreements with the EU, US, Japan, and other important trading partners which can help us bounce back in the future.
“The First Minister must move on from fighting old battles over Brexit and crack on with working constructively with the UK Government as it negotiates the best free trade deal possible with our European partners.”
