My right hon. Friend makes an important point, and he will recognise the benefits of co-operating on a cross-border basis.

Leaving the EU will result in a significant increase in the decision-making powers of the Welsh Assembly and Welsh Government.

Since 2010, Welsh exports have increased by 41%, growing faster than the UK average of 36%.

The answer is in the title—it is the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and, therefore, joint work is taking place across Government. As the hon.

The hon. Gentleman will be well aware that that is a plan for and determination of our negotiations.

The hon. Gentleman is highly selective in his references. He fails to recognise that my right hon.

We do not want or expect a no deal scenario.

The Government recognises the critical role that post offices play in communities and for small businesses across the UK.

Neither myself, nor Ministers or officials in my Department have travelled between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

We firmly believe it is in the interests of both the EU and the UK to strike a deal.
