trade deal: What I am proposing cannot mean membership of the single market, May said during a highly-anticipated speech at London's Lancaster House, according to Global Times China. She added that Britain would seek a trade deal giving the greatest possible access to the market on its departure. Brexit must mean control of the number of people coming from Europe, and that is what we will deliver. The prime minister also announced that any divorce deal with the remaining EU members must be approved by votes in both chambers of Britain's parliament. May has promised to trigger Article 50 by the end of March, and said that she believed a final settlement and trade deal could be simultaneously negotiated within the timeframe. Britain has two years to negotiate a break-up deal once May triggers Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, officially declaring the country's intention to quit, or face leaving with no agreement.
