'As prime minister, I am not prepared to delay Brexit any further than the 30th of June,' theresa_may told a rowdy session of parliament |
British Prime Minister Theresa May has said she has written to European Council President Donald Tusk requesting to delay Brexit to 30 June."As prime minister, I am not prepared to delay Brexit any further than the 30th of June," Mrs May told a rowdy session of parliament.
"The government intends to bring forward proposals for a third meaningful vote. If that vote is passed, the extension will give the House time to consider the Withdrawal Agreement Bill. If not, the House will have to decide how to proceed." Mrs May's request comes after European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said the EU has done much to accommodate the UK over Brexit and can go no further.
