0:03:55 > 0:04:04following the Brexit vote.
0:04:04 > 0:04:05My argument is national institutions, especially
0:04:05 > 0:04:07the National Library, which is an unique institution,
0:04:07 > 0:04:09there is no other compatible institution anywhere else
0:04:09 > 0:04:11within Britain, that those institutions are very important
0:04:11 > 0:04:13in terms of creating an identity and ensuring that Wales
0:04:13 > 0:04:22is seen as a country within a federal Britain.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25The Welsh Government says it recognises the important role
0:04:25 > 0:04:30the National Library and other bodies play in public life.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50and there will be some drizzle overnight with fog
