The British parliament will debate and vote on Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit ‘Plan B’ on 29 January, the leader of the House of Commons Andrea Leadsom has said.
Mrs May’s initial Withdrawal Agreement was rejected by a large majority earlier this week.
Mrs Leadsom said the prime minister would put forward a motion and make a statement on her next steps on Monday.
“A full day’s debate on the motion will take place on Tuesday 29 January, subject to the agreement of the house,” she told parliament.
Her comments come as Mrs May meets MPs and opposition leaders for cross-party talks before she presents an alternative proposal to parliament
However, she is facing a deadlock as her opponents have set out a list of demands for cooperating, including ruling out the possibility that Britain would leave the EU in March without any deal at all.
