London (AFP) – Three prominent members of British Prime Minister Theresa May’s Conservative Party on Saturday urged her to drop the government’s appeal against a court ruling that parliament must approve the process to trigger Brexit.
Oliver Letwin, former head of the government’s Brexit preparations, former law officer Edward Garnier and former attorney general Dominic Grieve all warned that the Supreme Court appeal could delay the triggering of Article 50 of the European Union’s Lisbon Treaty, which begins formal exit talks.
The comments come a day after the court ruled the devolved Scottish and Welsh governments will be allowed to intervene in the appeal, due to take place next month.
