British Prime Minister Theresa May said on Monday she wants Britain and the EU to agree on the outlines of any transitional Brexit deal soon but declined to say whether she was confident the details of a full trade deal will be agreed by October next year.
"Businesses should have the comfort of knowing they will be able to operate on the same basis as they currently can during that implementation period," May told business leaders at a conference in London.
The prime minister also admitted she was deeply troubled by a wave of allegations of sexual impropriety in parliament and victims of abuse needed to know that their complaints would be investigated properly.
May, whose defense secretary resigned last week saying his past conduct had fallen short of expected standards, told a business audience that at the heart of the growing scandal was the issue of the use and abuse of power.
