Recommendation
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 Summary
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.
