But EU leaders were also warned they had to take Britain’s Brexit proposals seriously.

The Prime Minister told the gathering of business leaders from across the EU that she wanted to agree an implementation period “as soon as possible”.

This would allow the go-ahead for trade talks at December’s summit.

Mrs May was also urged to keep the UK within the customs union and single market temporarily after Britain quits in March 2019.
