As both sides of the EU referendum debate step up their campaigns,

:00:13.:00:17.

the leader of Vote Leave in Wales says immigration is driving

:00:18.:00:19.

The Clwyd West MP David Jones claims hotels in Llandudno were now almost

:00:20.:00:25.

exclusively staffed by immigrants from Eastern Europe

:00:26.:00:29.

but the Wales Stronger In Europe campaign says freedom of movement

:00:30.:00:32.

One of our most popular resorts. In the sunshine a magnet for tourists.

:00:33.:00:51.

But according to the leader of VoIP to leave in Wales, these grand

:00:52.:00:55.

hotels and others like them in tourist hotspots across Wales are

:00:56.:01:00.

staffed mainly by immigrants from Eastern Europe. Speaking on radio

:01:01.:01:06.

Wales's Sunday supplement this morning, he claimed this was forcing

:01:07.:01:11.

indigenous people out of jobs. If you go to the tourist parts of the

:01:12.:01:16.

country, it's very difficult to find any hotel that is not almost

:01:17.:01:20.

exclusively staffed by immigrants from Eastern Europe. It's forcing

:01:21.:01:26.

the indigenous population out. Is that because of the wages? It's

:01:27.:01:37.

depressing wages. But this man said the idea that immigration is keeping

:01:38.:01:42.

wages knows not correct. There are plenty of economic studies on this.

:01:43.:01:46.

There is very little evidence that that is actually the case. We have

:01:47.:01:51.

in this country minimum wage requirements and they apply to

:01:52.:01:55.

everybody who works in this country. I don't think that is an issue.

:01:56.:01:59.

Migration in Wales is a fraction of what it is in the rest of the UK. So

:02:00.:02:03.

I don't think that's a major issue for us in Wales at all. It's not

:02:04.:02:17.

just the weather is heating up. Yesterday both sides were out in

:02:18.:02:21.

force, pressing their case. And with a referendum on whether the UK

:02:22.:02:23.

remains part of the European Union just weeks away, expect more claims

:02:24.:02:24.

and counterclaims. Organisers have carried out repairs

commemorating the hundreds of Welsh soldiers who died in the Battle

of the Somme in the First World War. After a week of deadlock

:02:38.:02:43.

between Labour and Plaid Cymru over who should become First Minister,

:02:44.:02:46.

a former senior advisor to Labour has told BBC Wales the party

:02:47.:02:50.

should talk to all parties to get its policies through over

:02:51.:02:53.

the next five years. Meanwhile, the leader

:02:54.:02:57.

of the Welsh Conservatives, Andrew RT Davies, says his door

correspondent, Arwyn Jones. Friday's talks ended without a

:03:03.:03:18.

resolution, both sides insisted the deal could be done. According to one

:03:19.:03:22.

former leader, there are signs whether party's priorities for life.

:03:23.:03:31.

How'd you get the economy going? How not to put all the capital money

:03:32.:03:35.

into the M4? These are the things that need to be negotiated in

detail. There are very few details about the content of discussions

:03:40.:03:42.

with both parties refusing to comment over the weekend. With laden

:03:43.:03:47.

short of an overall majority, the party needs support from the

:03:48.:03:51.

opposition to get its policies through and according to one former

:03:52.:03:54.

senior adviser to the party, it needs to look beyond just talking to

:03:55.:03:58.

Plaid Cymru over the next two years. Everybody has to talk to everybody

:03:59.:04:03.

else because that is the new maths. What happened in the last five years

:04:04.:04:08.

is that Labour could talk to both parties but they can't do that now.

:04:09.:04:12.

That means Plaid Cymru have very strong hands in negotiations. They

:04:13.:04:18.

have every right to do so but you need to be able to talk with all the

:04:19.:04:23.

parties in the Assembly of the next five years. Speaking on the Sunday

:04:24.:04:27.

politics was programme, the leader of the Conservatives in Wales also

:04:28.:04:30.

said Labour should not turn their backs and other parties in the

:04:31.:04:35.

Assembly. My door was always open. We are pragmatic enough to realise

:04:36.:04:38.

that not one party has all the answers. I'm not quite sure why

:04:39.:04:44.

Labour would think that Plaid Cymru, unless they ended a formal

:04:45.:04:47.

coalition, would be an answer to all the issues because they got 11

:04:48.:04:53.

votes. Two parties, one aim. Talks will resume tomorrow to see how they

:04:54.:04:57.

can reach an agreement to enable Carwyn Jones to become First
