London
PRIME Minister Theresa May's office dismissed as speculation a report that the UK is prepared to pay a 40 billion-euro (S$64 billion) bill to leave the European Union, while leading Brexit supporters pushed back against paying anything at all.
The sum surfaced in the Sunday Telegraph newspaper, which cited three government officials it didn't identify as saying Britain would offer it to push the discussion towards a future trade deal. On Monday, though, Mrs May's spokesman, James Slack, told reporters: "I don't recognise the figure."
