as i've said we have managed to allocate money to plaid cymru's priorities.le to be firm about the way that we allocate drugs and treatments and plaid cymru has made it happen with this contract. we will continue to try and influence them and get as many as our manifesto commitment as possible, deliver it for the people that but there's, if you like, but we will continue to scrutinise and hold the government to account. you say you are the party of wales, but how can you be when you campaign in eu referendum to remain, wales voted to leave, your campaigning to stay ina single to leave, your campaigning to stay in a single market, many people in wales leave the single market because they do not want immigration, they do not want freedom of movement? actually, you are out of step with public opinion and the median wales. we have taken the view that it is in wales' best interest to retain membership on the single market because so manyjobs will lie on that and it is ourjob as plaid cymru to advocate the best interests of wales. you're right we we re interests of

the plaid cymru leader has suggested something similar.itical assumptions we have lived with all our lives. we thought the thatcher watershed in 1979 was a big change in the post—war consensus. what we have now is ofa post—war consensus. what we have now is of a completely different scope. as you are saying about brexit and the competition is there, they are writ large on the front of the times. and the times have a list of legislation prepared by whitehall to cover the various areas that have to be dealt with as we leave the european union. so we have this great repeal bill coming, and that would tie up all the loose ends, in one fell swoop, as it were. and that was going to be compensated enough because it you imagine how much legislation that has been accumulated over the last a0 or so years... according to this leaked list of legislation being prepared, it is covering immigration, tax, agriculture, trade and customs regimes, fishing, data protection, sanctions, a bill for each one. bill for each one, and amendments reach one, and... th

joining me now from our westminster studio is the plaid cymru mp, liz saville roberts. forjoining me this evening. to what extent is there a conversation now in wales that it should examine its future in terms of independence? well, without a shadow of a doubt, this is the time we should be discussing this, just as the prime minister, theresa may talks about forging a new relationship with europe and the rest of the world, surely now is the time also for a discussion to be happening between these four nations and forging a new relationship amongst ourselves. is that about a sense of nationalism 7 amongst ourselves. is that about a sense of nationalism? or are there ha rd facts sense of nationalism? or are there hard facts backing that up? of course, there are hard facts backing that up. we have devolution, our own assembly in wales. we need to work out a working relationship between westminster and the assemblies and parliaments of wales, scotland and northern ireland. that is a partnership of equals. now you've said that wales currently sells more goods to the european

point, today, you got the sinn fein party in northern saying they need a vote a united ireland, plaid cymrular discussion in wales, and the snp, the union certainly looks fairly fragile. we will put that argument to the one of the cheap brexit architects later. we have had two votes on the amendments. there has been little sign of the conservative rebellion in all of this. these were the changes at the house of lords, wanting to guarantee the rights of eu citizens living in the united kingdom, the second one was about securing a final vote, a vote on the deal that theresa may gets at the end of the process of negotiation, but both of those changes have been overturned by the house of commons. it will now go back to the upper chamberagain, to it will now go back to the upper chamber again, to the house of lords, where they will consider it one more time. indications there art that labour opposition peers have not seen any sign that the government will give way on this. they do not see any point in pursuing this any further. it seems that this brexit bill will pass its final parliamentary hur

there is a resolution asking for an article 30 order and in scotland labour and plaid cymru have comeurope. she has created in nine months an unprecedented mess within these islands. if she wants that unity and if she needs that unity, she has to start behaving in a way that will produce that unity. you say there is a resolution to seek a section 30 order. do you think there is an appetite amongst scottish voters for appetite amongst scottish voters for a second referendum? it is in two yea rs' a second referendum? it is in two years' time at the end of this process when the european parliament and the uk parliament will be voting upon this. there will be a package on which there will have to be a vote and the scottish people have the right to do, they did not vote for brexit. they voted against brexit and they find the type of brexit and they find the type of brexit being forced upon them is very unpalatable indeed and there are no assurances in these documents to anybody let alone to the scottish parliament. in terms of even getting back the powers we presently have but which are he

plaid cymru is demanding a continuity bill in the assembly for wales to enshrine european law in welshrs in wales. i will reiterate, no powers that are currently exercised by the devolved administrations will be taken away from them. there's my right honourable friend agree that the key point about the great repeal bill is the legal precedents of laws imposed on this country by the eu will and. well, the legal precedent won't and that there will be susceptible to our change. we will be able to change them both in our courts and parliament. with reference to the criminal justice measures of which we are already a part, and the prime minister's article 50 letter yesterday, can the signatures they set out house how these safety and protection of the public will be enhanced by us and reducing our cooperation on crime and terrorism? as the prime minister made plain yesterday, she wants to see a comprehensive agreement. people have interpreted that as comprehensive trade agreements, it is an agreement across all the issues where we have across all the issues where we have a relationship with
