Brexit: May to trigger Article 50 by end of March
Source: BBC
2 October 2016 UK Politics
Theresa May will formally begin the Brexit process by the end of March 2017, she has told the BBC.
The prime minister confirmed the deadline for triggering Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, which sets in place a two-year process of withdrawal.
She has also promised a "Great Repeal Bill" in the next Queen's Speech, which will overturn the act that took the UK into the EU.
It will remove the European Communities Act 1972 from the statute book.
