An EU spokesman said it was “ready and waiting” for the letter.
The official spokesman to the PM purportedly ejected reports an early election may be held, saying: “It’s not going to happen.”
Under the Article 50 process, talks on the terms of exit and future relations are not allowed until the UK formally tells the EU it is leaving. If the process goes on as per the official schedule the formalities related to Brexit may conclude by March 2019.
