A Tuesday vote by Parliament on UK Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit deal will not be delayed, according to Sunday statements from ministers and other government sources.
Although cabinet ministers and senior lawmakers have stridently argued for a delay, Barclay — asked whether the Tuesday vote was happening — stated: ‘It is,“ cited by the BBC.
The UK PM office at 10 Downing Street also confirmed that the historic vote would go ahead on Tuesday, according to the Financial Times.
Although May’s party sought support for the deal ahead of the vote, an increasing number of Conservative MPs have expressed their intention to vote against the Brexit treaty as it stands.
