Theresa May made the announcement on Sunday morning.
British Prime Minister Theresa May has said that she will trigger Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty at the end of March 2017, starting the UK’s two-year process of withdrawal from the European Union.
May also promised a “Great Repeal Bill” in the next Queen’s Speech; this will overturn the act that took the United Kingdom into the EU.
“It will return power and authority to the elected institutions of our country,” she told The Sunday Times.
“It means that the authority of EU law in Britain will end.”
May said she will give more details at her party’s annual conference in Brimingham on Sunday afternoon.
