Rejection of PM May’s bill to leave Brexit deal ‘dead’

LONDON: Britain’s chief Brexit minister said Britain would be faced with a choice between a no-deal European Union (EU) exit and remaining in the EU if lawmakers reject Prime Minister Theresa May’s flagship Brexit bill next month.

Brexit Secretary Stephen Barclay said Wednesday (Thursday in Manila) that defeating the bill would leave May’s deal “dead” and force Parliament to decide “whether it will pursue ... a no-deal option or whether it will revoke” the decision to leave the EU.
