The spokesman said he cannot imagine any circumstances under which parliament would not be given another chance to approve a Brexit deal, and insisted that May is committed to leaving the EU on March 29. A parliamentary committee said the government won’t accept a no-deal Brexit, so Parliament deserves the right to vote to extend negotiations.

UK financial services minister John Glen said on Monday that Britain is working hard to reach a Brexit deal, but it would still be prudent to put in place contingency measures in case no agreement is reached.  Glen told a conference in London that he is confident that Britain will be successful in the end.
