May said it was right that things should not drag on too long, and she was aware the British people would expect to see on the horizon the point at which Britain leaves the EU.
Announcing that the government will before the end of March, 2017, trigger article 50, the process to end Britain's membership of the EU, May said members of parliament will not get a vote on that process.
May told the conference: "It is not up to the House of Commons to invoke article 50, and it is not up to the House of Lords, it is up to the government and the government alone," adding that responsibility for the negotiations with the EU are for the government and nobody else.
Her announcement of a March 2017 deadline will mean the final parting of the ways between Britain and the EU will happen no later than March 2019 -- a year before the next scheduled general election in 2020.
May also confirmed her plan to put before the British Parliament a Great Reform Bill that will transfer all EU legislation into British domestic law. It means the authority of EU law in British courts will end.
May was cheered when she said that existing workers' legal rights introduced under EU legislation will continue to be guaranteed in Britain, adding that those rights would continue "as long as I am prime minister."
Her reassurances that Britain will leave the EU and pave the way for creating new global trading partnerships, earned May loud cheers and applause from a packed conference enter.
