Bankers at the World Economic Forum in Davos have been talking about what the UK's plan to leave the EU means for their businesses, with some warning of jobs moving to the continent.

The comments came during a week in which the City was given more clarity on the UK's Brexit strategy. Prime Minister Theresa May said on January 17 that the country prefers to seek the "greatest possible access" to the single market rather than full membership, and put forward a vision of a "great, global trading nation".
