DAVIS: LEGISLATION ON BREXIT 'IN DAYS'

The UK Supreme Court has ruled parliament must be consulted over the triggering of Article 50 which starts formal Brexit negotiations.

The UK government had argued Prime Minister Theresa May had the power to start the process without putting it to Parliament.

Brexit Minister David Davis says the Supreme Court ruling will be respected and the government will introduce legislation 'within days'.
