Full question wording

The prime minister triggered Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, beginning the formal process of leaving the European Union in March this year. This means that the UK will formally leave the EU in March 2019.

Given the complexity of creating new customs and trading arrangements with other countries, some have suggested a transition period after March 2019 whereby the UK remains in the European single market until more permanent arrangements can be made.
