Theresa May is speaking also. She said she is determined to deliver change demanded in EU referendum, but the EU negotiations cannot be done quickly. Business must commit to investing in Britain for the long term. According to May, Autumn statement will be ambitious for business and ambitious for Britain. Chancellor will commit to providing a strong and stable foundation for UK economy. In her opinion Brexit offers an opportunity to get dynamic trading agreements. However, she needs to take the time to get UK Brexit negotiating position clear especially as she understands business people don't want a cliff edge after Brexit.
