LONDON - The British government said on Monday it had received legal advice on its rights and obligations when it leaves the European Union but publishing the details would damage its negotiating position.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who has vowed to take Britain out of the EU with or without a deal at the end of October, has said that in the event of a no-deal exit, Britain will no longer legally owe the 39 billion pounds. Asked by Reuters whether the government had received legal advice on how much of the 39 billion pound bill would be due if Britain leaves without a deal and, if so, what amount did it advise would still be due, the Treasury said it held information"within the scope" of the request.
These included that the disclosure could prejudice international relations and Britain's interests abroad.
