Well, my view is that those powers should come the people of Wales, and shouldn’t be retained in Westminster or Whitehall. It’s crucial to have frameworks in some parts, such as the fisheries, for example, but those frameworks should actually be agreed, and not imposed upon people without their consent. We must remember that if we’re going to have a single market within the UK, and I agree with that, we have to have rules. But if we don’t have ownership of the rules, nobody’s going to pay any attention to them. And secondly, there is the question of who’s going to police those rules without having a court of law to refer to. So there are many unanswered questions currently. Some people in the UK think we’ll move back to how things were pre 1972, but that isn’t the same United Kingdom that we have now. We don’t have just one government by now, and there’s a great deal of work to be done to ensure that these powers will be transferred from Brussels to Wales, and not via London.
