The recent low level of news on Brexit has been broken by Theresa May’s conference speech to the Conservative Party. In it she has set out the key priorities and milestones in the process of leaving the EU. The speech covers the following key points:

• Controlling immigration and withdrawing from the European court of Justice will be her priorities in the negotiation process over trade.
• The Government will trigger the Article 50 process before the end of March 2017
• The Great Repeal Bill ‘plans for this would enable four decades of European legislation would become part of British law and could then be unpicked.’ This Bill will presumably be the work for David Davis’s Brexit department.
• The Green Alliance have provided the first assessment of what this might mean for the environment.
• On the thorny issue of the constitutional position of Parliament May said the Parliament would not be allowed a vote on the Brexit decision, and that legal challenges would be fought.
