Following yesterday’s crystallisation of the impasse within Parliament, PM May has made a statement and has said the government stands ready to abide by the decision of the house but says to make this process work, the opposition needs to agree too.
- UK PM May: still aiming to leave EU by May 22nd.
- Agreement needed in time for Brexit summit next week.
- To sit down with labour leader Corbyn to agree on plan.
- Looking for an extension until a deal is passed.
- Would try and complete legislating by May 22.
GBP is higher on the statement.
