British MPs are cancelling a planned holiday next month to allow time to pass key legislation ahead of the scheduled date for Brexit on March 29, Prime Minister Theresa May’s spokesman said on Thursday.

“The fact that recess won’t be taking place and MPs will be sitting shows you that we are taking all available steps to make sure that March 29 is our exit date,” the spokesman said. (AFP)
