LONDON (Reuters) - Britain’s policy of not revoking its Article 50 Brexit notice has not been changed by a European court ruling saying that the government could do so without needing the consent of European Union counterparts, Brexit minister Stephen Barclay said.

“The judgment does not in any way change our policy ... the government’s firm and long held policy is that we will not revoke the Article 50 notice, this position has not changed,” Barclay told parliament.
