LONDON: An influential group of MPs called on Prime Minister Theresa May Saturday to publish by mid-February her plans for leaving the EU, and urged her to prepare for a transitional deal to limit uncertainty for business.
The cross-party Brexit committee called for a policy document clarifying the government’s “broad aims”, including whether Britain should stay in the single market and customs union, to allow proper scrutiny before exit talks start.
May has promised to trigger Article 50 of the EU’s Lisbon Treaty, which sets out a two-year timeframe for exit negotiations, by the end of March.
