According to UK Prime Minister May's spokesman, the Cabinet has discussed preparations for what to do in the event of leaving the EU without a deal being ratified.
"I am of the opinion that an agreement in principle has been reached in negotiations under Article 50(2) of the Treaty on European Union … These documents are being presented to Parliament at the earliest opportunity in order to facilitate the fullest possible scrutiny ahead of the parliamentary debate and vote on the approval of these documents," May said in a written ministerial statement, as quoted by the Sky News broadcaster.
The Brexit deal submitted to the parliament has not yet been formally signed by the sides as it is yet to complete the bloc’s 'jurist-linguist translation process,' the prime minister noted.
"During that time, minor technical corrections will be made to the text, though these changes will not affect the substance of the agreement. The laying of the withdrawal agreement before Parliament at this stage does not, therefore, trigger any procedures under the Constitutional Reform and Governance Act 2010," May added, according to the broadcaster.
