UK may not vote on Brexit deal for 3rd time
(VOVWORLD) - The UK Government said on Sunday that it may cancel the 3rd Brexit deal vote at Parliament unless it’s expected to succeed and end a long delay for the UK’s departure.

Secretary of State for International Trade Liam Fox said it will be hard to carry out the vote if the deal is likely to be rejected.
The UK is set to leave the EU at the end of this month after 46 years of membership. The House of Commons has twice rejected Brexit deals that PM Theresa May reached with EU officials last year. If the Parliament approves her deal in a 3rd vote on Wednesday, she will propose a 3-month Brexit technical delay.
