“We are continuing to prepare the legislation needed to implement the withdrawal agreement in UK law and we will publish a white paper tomorrow setting out more details on this,” Martin Callanan told the upper house of Britain’s parliament.

Earlier this month, Prime Minister Theresa May revealed her latest plans for Britain’s relationship with the EU after its scheduled departure in March next year.
