Boris Johnson: Brexit talks 'probably early 2017'

Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson has said that formal negotiations for Britain to Leave the European Union will "probably" begin in early 2017.

The prime minister has not given any hint of a date yet, saying only that it will not be this year.

But speaking in New York, Mr Johnson said Article 50 could be triggered within months, starting the formal process.
