Now that negotiations are underway, Her Majesty\u2019s Government needs to intensify its engagement with UK business to ensure a smooth and orderly exit from the EU. We will bring forward a Business Advisory Group on EU exit in order to canvass a variety of views from across the business community.

The Government has been clear that we want to have reached an agreement about our future partnership by the time the two year Article 50 process has ended, in March 2019.<\/p>
Within that time, we will work to secure a deal that works for Britain and for Europe. We are delivering on the result of the referendum and the UK will leave the EU in 2019. While we do not propose to give a running commentary on the negotiations, providing certainty to businesses and individuals is our priority, and we will do so as early as possible where we can.<\/p>
