The Government will not speculate on hypothetical scenarios. On 29 March 2017, the Prime Minister triggered Article 50, which provides up to two years to ensure an orderly exit. We are using this time to secure an ambitious, wide ranging deal that benefits both the UK and Europe, spanning a future economic partnership, and future security partnership. We are delivering on the result of the referendum and the UK will leave the EU in March 2019.
