Today's Brexit speech by the UK prime minister must show clear commitment to pro-business policies recommended to government ministers or "irrevocable" relocation plans will have to begin, City executives have warned.

Theresa May will deliver a landmark speech in Florence on the state of the ongoing negotiations over the UK's exit from the European Union — her first major address on Brexit since she outlined her objectives for the talks at Lancaster House in January.
