The Government will bring forward proposals for a third meaningful vote as soon as possible and, if it is passed, an extension to 22 May will provide the time to pass the necessary legislation. If Parliament does not agree a deal this week, the EU has agreed to extend Article 50 until 12 April.

If Article 50 were to be extended for two years, as an EU Member State we would continue to have rights and obligations until exit.
