British Prime Minister Theresa May said on Tuesday she will deliver a speech early next year outlining the government's approach to leaving the European Union.

May also said she intends to stick to the two-year timetable for leaving the EU after triggering Article 50 of the European Union's Lisbon Treaty.

"I will be making a speech early in the new year setting out more about our approach and about the opportunity I think we have as a country to use this process to forge a truly global Britain that embraces and trades with countries across the world," May told British lawmakers.
