The British parliament is highly likely to cancel its recess in February so that it could make progress on options available before the planned UK withdrawal from the European Union on March 29.
Andrea Leadsom, a senior Conservative Party lawmaker who serves as the Leader of the House of Commons, said the parliament would cancel the planned recess to focus on its “key business” on Brexit.
The government also announced that it was looking at options to extend the hours during which parliament sits to allow enough time to discuss the future Brexitr developments.
That comes as lawmakers are expected to reach a consensus on Prime Minister Theresa May’s controversial Brexit deal with the EU so that Britain can ensure a smooth Brexit at the end of March.
