The Latest on Britain's vote to leave the European Union (all times local):

11:30 a.m.

Conservative lawmakers in Britain are voting to decide which two candidates will face a runoff to be the country's next prime minister.

Members of Parliament are choosing among three legislators — Home Secretary Theresa May, Justice Secretary Michael Gove and Energy Minister Andrew Leadsom.

May had a big lead after a first round of voting on Tuesday that saw the field winnowed from five to three.

Results of the latest round will be announced late Thursday afternoon. The candidate with the fewest votes will be eliminated and the other two will campaign around the country to win votes from 150,000 party members.

The result will be announced Sept. 9. The winner will replace Prime Minister David Cameron, who announced his resignation after Britain voted last month to leave the European Union.

A German business group is forecasting that Germany's exports to Britain will slip 1 percent this year and drop by 5 percent in 2017 following British voters' decision to leave the European Union.

The Association of German Chambers of Commerce and Industry said Thursday that it previously predicted a 5 percent increase in exports to Britain this year but revised its assessment because of the pound's fall and the prospect of weakening investment. Britain was the no. 3 destination last year for German exports, taking goods worth 89.3 billion euros ($98.8 billion).

The group said most businesses expect bilateral trade to remain constant during negotiations on a British exit but many expect it to fall once Britain has left the EU, with extra bureaucracy and legal differences a concern.
