LONDON - Britain will probably have to delay its departure from the European Union if MPs reject the government’s proposed divorce deal in a vote next week, Finance Minister Philip Hammond said on Thursday.
Britain is due to leave the EU in 22 days, but if MPs reject the deal this will put in doubt how, when or possibly even if Britain’s biggest foreign and trade policy shift in almost half a century will take place. MPs on Jan. 15 voted 432-202 against her deal, the worst government defeat in modern British parliamentary history, largely due to the Irish backstop, which is intended to avoid the return of hard border between Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic.
