Be well, she has landed a victory, element approving her brexit bill, her saying that is en route to royal approval. We remain on track with a timetable i set out to its months ago. I will return to this house before the end of this month to notify when i have only triggered article 50 and begun the process through which the United Kingdom will leave the European Union. Mark lets get over to westminster. Interesting developments. Looking at that june 20 meeting to authorize brexit talks. That is a long gap. That is a couple of months. it is interesting because we heard that the eu would likely respond within 48 hours of theresa may triggering article 50. If may washat, but to trigger article 50 by the end of this month, we could see a meeting called by may with other eu countries. That signal of june is interesting, but in terms of when theresa may is likely to trickle article 50 trigger article 50 as she stays committed to that timeline of triggering it by the end of this month. She was not any more specific than that, but bloomberg has been told that the end of the month is still on track and one official said that the most likely dates are between march 27 and march 30. There are a number of things happening then, the dutch elections tomorrow, the Scottish National Party Conference on march 17 and the celebration of the anniversary of the eu founding treaty on march 25, which theresa may does not want to get in the way of. March 26 is a sunday, 31st parliament goes into recess. As you said, threes amazing she is expecting royal assent for her bill in the coming days which would form it into law and this bill is going through unchanged. With noing through amendments because the house of commons rejected the amendment proposed by the house of lords. Ink starting brexit talks june would allow the eu to move on from the potential banana skin that is different french residential election. The other constitutional headache that Prime Minister may faces is potentially another or noth referendum, because today in parliament, which he spoke in the house of commons, she almost dismissed the idea. When she spoke in the house of commons, she almost dismissed the idea. What we heard yesterday was from the first minister, saying she will next week asked permission for the second referendum. Theresa may does need to give her permission for this. Back in september 2014 with the first referendum, the scots voted 55 to 45 to remain in the u k, but a lot has changed since then, not least of course brexit because scotland voted to remain in the eu and Nicola Sturgeon has said that has led to a democratic deficit. In terms of a timeline of when we might get this second independence referendum, we have heard that nicolas sturgeon is looking between the fall of 2018 and the spring of 2019. If everything goes to plan and article 50 is triggered at the end of march and we get these two years of talks, theresa may is going to find herself in the final months of negotiating brexit with also having to deal with an independence referendum for scotland. If you wanted in a sense of the uncertainty this is causing, look at sterling. An eight week low in this session, and we have been hearing calls. And analyst at Deutsche Bank said sterling could fall much further from where it is. Cehic atra westminster. Lets get more from scotlands first minister, joining us earlier. They discussed the potential for a Scottish Referendum and the future for the country in the European Union. What you will find is over the next few months, a very distinct perspective will open up for scotland. You will be able to see how scotland can secure this position within the European Economic area and then we will have a friendly reception across europe. Scotland has many friends in europe. The u. K. Has none left and this is a big transformation. In 2014, i could not even get the proposal. A total difference, in attitude toward scotland because people across europe know that scotland is basically here european and are exasperated with the government in london which is pursuing such a reckless brexit. What the tell you about whether scotland would join the euro . It was private discussions. Union is in the european but not in the euro. Are, you have to be an exchangerate mechanism for two years before you can even apply to join the euro and begin the exchangerate mechanism is a voluntary act which is why sweden is not to the euro and that would apply to scotland and nine other countries. You would not expect to have to join the single currency. Correct. Would it be full membership or transitional . Lets see how this emerges. The logic of having the referendum on the timescale geon outlined is to matter theing next few months and i am saddened that the negotiations about scotland will be a good deal easier than the negotiations in london and. Rexit the former first minister of scotland with bloomberg, earlier. Vonnie lets check in on the first word news.

Mark you would have thought that the moves on capital pressure, butease the currency is appreciating today. What is going on . It is hard to say. Iceland is a very small country, so small movements may have some influence. Today, small fluctuations are something that we are very used to. Is it is mark possible that the currency could keep increasing because of record tourist arrival, which of course your nation is experiencing right now, boosting the economy. That is true. Been what has been been the main reason for the economy gaining strength is the tourism boom. Krona rise inhe strength in the past eight months. I think lifting capital controls to stop this trend. Like you said yesterday, the by three orvalued 4 3 or 4 . Mark are you worried that the economy could overheat . We are trying to take steps against that, by increasing the government surplus from 1 to 1. 5 of gdp. Has keptal Bank Interest rates quite high. They are now at about 5 which is much higher than most european countries. Mark does that mean there is a need for the central bank does that mean there is a need or a possibility the central bank could cut rates from the current 5 , maybe to 4. 75 . Is that a way to deter hot money . I would hope so. I would hope they would reduce interest rates, somewhat. I have no influence over it, but there have been a number of factors in the right direction. No disputes in the labor market, at the moment. Placee a government in and we dont have the capital controls anymore. They might reduce the rate. Mark what about the future of Monetary Policy . A full float or a controlled float . We have a full float, although we do have some precautionary measures, still intact. Andn some remnants some remnants still in place. When will they be able to walk away .

As we started with the crisis, lets and with it. Could 2008 happen again and with it end with it. Could 2008 happen again . You should never say never, we are in much better shape. We have currency reserves that we could never dream of, before. The banks are much smaller than they were in 2008. We are not dreaming of being a International Banking superpower as we were, then, so i think that type of experience, hopefully we will not experience in the next few years at least.
