(MENAFN) British Prime Minister, Theresa May, expected to say in its anticipated Brexit speech, that UK will not retail "partial" membership of the EU once it leaves, and she will tell other European countries the UK wants to trade with them as freely as possible, but it will not be "half-in, half-out."
In general, her speech is expected to include further hints Britain could leave the EU single market.
As the government has revealed few details about what it wants to secure from the Brexit talks, it said formal negotiations on the UK's exit package will be triggered by the end of March.
Labour's Sir Keir Starmer, the Shadow Brexit secretary, said the UK should stay in the customs union, and added: "That's the deal that works for trade, it's a deal that accepts there has to be change on freedom of movement rules. That's the starting position."
