There are now legal proceedings underway and it would therefore not be appropriate for the Government to comment further on these at this time.</p><p>The precise timing, terms and means by which we leave the EU will be determined by the negotiations that follow the triggering of Article 50. We will observe in full all relevant legal and constitutional obligations that apply.</p> answering member printed Lord Bridges of Headley question first answered 28/09/2016 16:01:31 answering member 4535 label Biography information for Lord Bridges of Headley
