Delayed Brexit is better than no-deal exit: Ministers



May is to update Parliament on Tuesday

Three members of Prime Minister Theresa May’s Cabinet warned on Saturday that Brexit must be delayed if she cannot persuade the British Parliament to back her EU divorce deal next week. Business Minister Greg Clark, Work and Pensions Minister Amber Rudd and Justice Minister David Gauke wrote an article stating their opposition to leaving the European Union on March 29 with no deal.
“If there is no breakthrough in the coming week, the balance of opinion in Parliament is clear — that it would be better to seek to... delay our date of departure rather than crash out of the European Union on March 29,” the Ministers wrote in a column.
Ms. May was in Brussels this week for talks with European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker, and will meet European Council president Donald Tusk on Sunday at an EU-Arab League summit in Egypt. She has promised to update Parliament on her efforts on Tuesday and either put the new deal to a fresh vote of MPs or allow them on Wednesday to debate their own ideas for the way forward. One of these is expected to be a plan to delay Brexit to avoid a “no deal” scenario.
