May's 12 point Brexit plan


Her plan:

1) Provide certainty about the process of leaving the EU.

2) Control of our own laws. Leaving the European Union will mean that our laws will be made in Westminster, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast.

3) Strengthen the Union between the four nations of the United Kingdom.

4) Deliver a practical solution that allows the maintenance of the Common Travel Area with the Republic of Ireland.

5) Brexit must mean control of the number of people who come to Britain from Europe.

6) Protect rights for EU nationals in Britain and British nationals in the EU. We want to guarantee rights of EU citizens living in Britain and the rights of British nationals in other member states, as early as we can.

7) Protect workers' rights. Not only will the government protect the rights of workers set out in European legislation, we will build on them.

8) Free trade with European markets through a bold and ambitious free trade agreement with the European Union.

9) New trade agreements with other countries. It is time for Britain to get out into the world and rediscover its role as a great, global, trading nation.

10) The best place for science and innovation. We will welcome agreement to continue to collaborate with our European partners on major science, research and technology initiatives.

11) Co-operation in the fight against crime and terrorism. We will continue to work closely with our European allies in foreign and defence policy even as we leave the EU itself.

12) A smooth, orderly Brexit. We believe a phased process of implementation will be in the interests of Britain, the EU institutions and member states.
