| Britain’s Secretary of State for Leave the EU David Davis |
Britain will still leave the European Union even if parliament votes against the final terms of the deal, Brexit minister David Davis told parliament on Tuesday.
During a speech setting out her Brexit priorities earlier on Tuesday, Prime Minister Theresa May said she would put the final agreement on Britain’s exit from the European Union to a vote in parliament.
Asked by a lawmaker what would happen if parliament were to vote against the deal, Davis said: “The referendum last year set in motion a circumstance where the UK is going to leave the European Union, and it won’t change that.”
