Chief executive of the Leave campaign Matthew Elliott says they are in no rush to start negotiations to leave the EU. He believes it would be better to start informal talks regarding a full settlement, which would include all aspects of Britain’s relationship with the EU.
"We don't think there is a need to swiftly invoke Article 50," he told Reuters. "Its best for the dust to settle over the summer and during that time for there to be informal negotiations with other states," he added.

The UK’s Financial Services Commissioner Jonathan Hill has resigned, leaving Britain without representation in the EU commission.
"I don't believe it is right that I should carry on as the British commissioner as though nothing had happened. I have therefore told (European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker) that I shall stand down,” Hill said.
Simultaneously, there should be “an orderly handover,” he said, and he will go on working with the European commission’s president to ensure the transition “happens in the weeks ahead.”
