<p>The UK Government is doing whatever it takes to ensure the UK defeats Coronavirus
and I have regular discussions with the First Minister and his Ministerial team on
the UK-wide response, including the impact of Covid-19 on border communities. I consider
it crucial that any differences in the response between Wales and England is supported
by robust evidence.</p><p> </p><p>Since the start of the outbreak, including through
the COBR Ministerial Committee and the Ministerial Implementation Groups, there have
been 116 engagements in total between the UK and Welsh Government. I am, of course,
always looking for opportunities for closer working between the two governments and
have asked the First Minister to consider inviting the Parliamentary Under-Secretary
or me to attend meetings of the Welsh Government’s Covid-19 Core Ministerial Group.</p><p>
