Mr Jack said:

“As the Prime Minister has made clear, we will respect the Supreme Court’s judgment, but we respectfully disagree with the decision of the Court. The UK Government wants a Queen’s Speech to set out its plans on a wide range of domestic issues. We remain determined to honour the result of the EU Referendum and deliver Brexit on 31 October. The Prime Minister is focused on getting a deal at the EU Council next month.”
