UK will leave EU without deal only if lawmakers agree: May
British PM tells parliament it is better to agree to her withdrawal deal as a delay would prolong uncertainties
London
PRIME Minister Theresa May told the house of Commons on Tuesday that Britain will only leave the EU without a deal on March 29 with the explicit consent of parliament.
She promised lawmakers that if they do not approve a revised Brexit deal by March 12, she will give them a vote on whether to leave without a deal. If they reject that, parliament will vote on March 14 on whether to seek a "short, limited extension" to the Article 50 negotiating period.
