Prime Minister Theresa May’s office distributed a letter to major U.K. companies for senior executives to sign praising her government’s Brexit strategy, according to a draft seen by Bloomberg.
The letter, intended to be published in a U.K. newspaper, said that the government’s repeal bill, due to be debated in Parliament on Thursday, would initiate a program of legislation to prepare Britain for life outside the European Union. Sky News television, which first reported the letter earlier Wednesday, said company chiefs expressed incredulity at being asked to sign.
