British Prime Minister Theresa May has said the United Kingdom will formally begin the process of departure from the European Union before April 2017, finally setting out a timetable for the process after months of uncertainty.

May said Sunday that Britain would begin the two-year process set out in Article 50 of the E.U.'s Lisbon Treaty in the first quarter of next year. Parliament will be asked to pass a "Great Repeal Bill," that will remove E.U. statutes from Britain's laws.
