Brexit: one year to go

Critical decisions on transition and EU negotiating guidelines are expected at the European Council on 22–23 March. With little over a year until the end of the Article 50 window, we look at the prospects for the coming months and the progress to date. Our panel discussed: How will business react to the outcome of the March Council? Is Whitehall ready for phase two? And how will the latest developments be perceived in Brussels?
