9 - Lib Dem Lords vs the Article 50 Bill: Jenny Randerson: Wales will lose from Brexit
Christine Humphreys talked about the impact of Brexit on Wales, on the loss of EU funding unlikely to be replaced by our low tax economy. She also challenged the government on their idea that we should all just line up behind them and meekly tug our forelocks as they choose our destiny for us, saying: "The first steps to unity can come from the Government accepting that voters have the right to be part of the decision-making process." My Lords, although our country has voted, albeit by a comparatively small majority, to sever our links with the EU, many voters continue to voice genuine concerns and questions about the future-concerns which have been echoed eloquently by noble Lords-about the impact on our economy and on voters' living standards; the position of EU nationals working in our communities and paying their taxes to support our services; the position of UK nationals living and working in the EU; and how our departure will impact on Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Gibraltar.
