British Prime Minister Theresa May has appointed David Davis to lead the country's negotiations for exiting the European Union, her office has confirmed.
Davis, a senior Conservative lawmaker who was beaten by former prime minister David Cameron in the party's 2005 leadership election contest, was on Wednesday appointed to the newly-created role of Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union.
In an article for Conservative grassroots website Conservative Home on Monday, Davis, who was a strong supporter of Brexit, said Britain should take its time before triggering Article 50.
