Brexit will be delayed for up to two months under plans being considered by UK Prime Minister Theresa May to extendArticle 50 of the Treaty on European Union, The Telegraph has learned.
May said she will delay a meaningful vote on her deal by up to two weeks until March 12, just 17 days before the UK is due to leave the European Union.
The plans drawn up by Downing Street officials include making a formal request to Brussels to delay Brexit if she cannot secure a deal by then.
The UK government believes that two months will be a sufficient time to resolve the deadlocked situation regarding Brexit.
