PM tells MPs: Britain will decide when to leave EU
David Cameron has addressed a packed Commons for the first time since Britain voted to leave the European Union.
Speaking to concerned MPs, Mr Cameron said that it was up to Britain when it decided to withdraw from the EU.
He urged caution on triggering Article 50 - which starts the formal process for exiting - saying that there needed to be consensus about next steps and the relationship Britain wants with the bloc.
Exit negotiations, once initiated, would be the civil service's most complex task for decades, he warned.
Mr Cameron also said the next government had a "fundamental responsibility to bring our country together".
Mr Cameron also addressed concerns about a 'diminished' Britain and sought to reassure the markets by emphasising that Britain will not step back from the world.
The prime minister also said:
there would not be a second referendum
Britain is moving forward from a "position of strength."
hate crime seen in recent days is not acceptable
he would not reverse his decision to resign
Jeremy Corbyn also addressed the Commons, rebuking members of his own party who he said had 'indulged' in "internal factioning" by resigning from their positions in the shadow cabinet.
The SNP's Angus Robertson also said Scottish MPs have "no intention whatsoever of seeing Scotland taken out of Europe".
