LONDON: Prime Minister Theresa May will on Wednesday face a vote by MPs over her newly revised Brexit strategy, which could allow them to approve an eventual delay to Britain's EU departure.
The government published an updated assessment on Tuesday of preparedness for such a scenario, which found a majority of businesses are not ready for a new trading regime. Under May's proposals, she will have two more weeks to try to win concessions from the EU over the so-called"backstop" clause to keep the Irish border open in all scenarios.
Meanwhile the main opposition Labour Party said it would be tabling an amendment with five demands, including Britain remaining in a customs union with the EU after Brexit.
