Quote:
A motion has been laid before Parliament to debate and vote on tomorrow regarding an extension to Article 50 – the legal mechanism which sees the UK leave the EU on 29 March.
The motion says that if Parliament agrees a deal by 20 March – next Wednesday – the government will ask the EU for a “one-off extension” until 30 June to pass the necessary legislation.
It also asks MPs to note that if it fails to agree a deal in the Commons by 20 March, it is “highly likely” that the EU “would require a clear purpose for any extension, not least to determine its length”, and if an extension ended after 30 June, the UK would have to take part in this year’s European elections.
The PM did say in the Commons she would be seeking MPs’ backing again “in the coming days”.
So that means a third “meaningful vote” on Mrs May’s deal next week.
