UK PM's spokesman: We have just concluded a very good deal with EU, that is the deal we are focused on getting through
- There is no certainty that the EU will agree to an extension if UK is forced to request one
- The meaningful vote will go ahead if the speaker agrees and if no amendments are selected which would render it meaningless
- If there are amendments the government will pull the motion for a meaningful vote
- We complied with the law, parliament’s request has been conveyed to the EU
- Discussions between the government and DUP are ongoing
- We will ensure as much time as required is given to get the legislation through
- The government is opposed to the customs union and a second referendum, both have been voted on before and have not been successful
- If essentially the legislation in parliament steps too far away from the Withdrawal Agreement and political declaration, it does bring into question ratification
