UK PM will publish Brexit 'White Paper'

Prime Minister Theresa May says she'll publish her plan for Britain's exit from the European Union, as described in a speech last week, in a formal 'White Paper' document to allow parliament to scrutinise it.

"I set out that bold plan for a global Britain last week and I recognise there is an appetite in this house to see that plan set out in a white paper," May told parliament on Wednesday. "I can confirm to the house that our plan will be set out in a white paper."

White papers are policy documents produced by the government that set out their proposals for future legislation.
