As it happened: Reaction as Boris Johnson sends Brexit delay letters - BBC News
Latest updates as Boris Johnson sends two letters to the EU, after being forced to seek a delay.
Michael Gove, the chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, tells Sky News that the "most important thing that all of us can do now is focus on getting the legislation through".

"As a result of yesterday's vote, the risk of leaving without a deal has grown," he says.

"Now, as a result of that vote, we can't guarantee that any extension will be granted."

Mr Gove says he will later today be chairing a cabinet committee meeting to ensure the government's preparations for a no-deal Brexit are "accelerated".

"We're triggering Operation Yellowhammer to ensure if no extension is granted, that we have done everything possible to leave without a deal," he says.
