PM May to make MPs a final ‘bold offer’ on Brexit

London: British Prime Minister Theresa May said on Sunday she was preparing to make a “bold offer” to MPs in one final attempt to get them to back her Brexit deal. Ms May said that when she brings the Withdrawal Agreement Bill before parliament early next month, it will come with a new package of measures attached that she hopes can command majority support.

London, May 19: British Prime Minister Theresa May said on Sunday she was preparing to make a “bold offer” to MPs in one final attempt to get them to back her Brexit deal.

May said that when she brings the Withdrawal Agreement Bill before Parliament early in June, it will come with a new package of measures attached that she hopes can command majority support.

“I still believe there is a majority in parliament to be won for leaving with a deal,” May wrote in The Sunday Times.

MPs three times rejected the deal May struck with Brussels, forcing Britain’s EU departure date to pushed back from March 29 to April 12 and again to October 31. The Bill is needed to ratify the divorce agreement struck with the EU.

On Thursday, May agreed to set out a timetable for her departure following the vote in the week beginning June 3, regardless of whether MPs back her deal at the fourth time of asking. It is thought that she will trigger a contest for the leadership of her governing Conservative Party once the Bill either falls or completes all of its stages through parliament.
