The statement follows numerous calls from members of parliament urging the government to publish a comprehensive analysis on the matter before parliament votes on the deal on Dec 11. May needs at least a simple majority of 320 votes in order to approve the deal; however, many MP's from the governing Conservative Party and the opposition are against the agreement.

According to the British prime minister, if parliament votes the agreement down, the UK could face leaving the European bloc without a deal.

The United Kingdom is scheduled to withdraw from the European Union on 29 March 2019, almost three years after the British people narrowly voted to leave in a referendum.
