Allowing ministers to trigger Brexit was Parliament’s “clear expectation” when it agreed to an EU referendum, the Supreme Court has been told.
Attorney General Jeremy Wright said the government would be making “lawful” use of “fundamental” powers by triggering Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty.

The High Court ruled in October that MPs did need to give the go ahead.
