There is just over a year left until Britain officially leaves the European Union, but it appears that a full separation from the bloc will not be seen until the end of 2020.<br /> The UK's Brexit negotiator David Davis, however, told a parliamentary Brexit committee on Wednesday that the two-year transition period after March 2019 will not be what he called a "deferral" of Brexit. <br />He was answering questions from fellow Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg, who said Britain would effectively stay in the EU until 2020 as a "vassal state" - a claim which Davis flatly rejected. <br /> Davis, however, did confirm that the UK would be subject to the European Court of Justice and pay into the EU budget.<br />He also said the UK would follow new single market rules, but added that Britain would be free to sign trade deals with other countries - something that is not allowed whilst being an EU member. <br />Free movement of people, goods and money is also expected to be extended until the start of 2021. <br />
