UK PM May to Government: Will not be able to bring meaningful vote on Brexit deal this week
UK's Prime Minister Theresa May said her ministers on Tuesday that the parliament would not be asked to vote on a revised Brexit deal this week as more time is needed to negotiate with the European Union (EU).
“She said it is clear that these discussions with the EU will need a little more time to conclude and so we will not be bringing forward a meaningful vote this week,” a spokeswoman for May’s office said in a statement following May’s weekly meeting with her cabinet of ministers.
