LONDON (Reuters) – The British government will respond quickly if Prime Minister Theresa Mays Brexit deal is defeated in parliament next week, Brexit secretary Stephen Barclay said on Wednesday.
“I also want to reassure colleagues that whatever the outcome of this debate, we will respond rapidly, recognising that we must provide parliament with as much security as possible,” Barclay said, opening the debate about the deal.
