We urge the UK Government to continue to invest significantly in this campaign in the run-up to 1 January and to continue to do so during 2021. This campaign should fully involve all relevant stakeholders in Wales to maximise its reach within Wales.
Government Response
The government states the 'Time Is Running Out' campaign concluded at the end of December, thus not continuing it into 2021 as recommended. It instead describes ongoing broader support and new campaigns post-transition.

As part of its trade negotiation strategy, we call on the UK Government to publish a Wales-specific impact assessment of any trade agreements, including the recently signed agreement with Japan.
Government Response
The government rejected the recommendation to publish Wales-specific impact assessments, stating it already publishes UK-wide scoping and impact assessments that include potential economic effects on all regions and nations, including Wales.
