LONDON, Oct. 2 (Xinhua) -- British Prime Minister Theresa May says she will formally begin the Brexit process by the end of March 2017, in an interview with the BBC.
Speaking on the Andrew Marr Show, she did not give an exact date beyond saying "by the end of March" for triggering Article 50 in the Lisbon treaty of the EU needed by a member state to exit the bloc.
May said she hoped there would now be "preparatory work" with the remaining EU members so that "once the trigger comes we will have a smoother process of negotiation".
