U.K.’s May to Publish Bill to Trigger Brexit on Thursday

U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May’s government will publish the bill to trigger Brexit on Thursday, according to a person familiar with the situation.

The bill will simply be published in a first reading -- the first stage of it going through Parliament -- and will be debated at a later date, the person said, declining to be identified because the plans are private. Some details of the proposed legislation are expected to be set out when Brexit Secretary David Davis answers questions from lawmakers in Parliament at 9:30 a.m.
