British Prime Minister Theresa May on Sunday announced that a vote in parliament on her Brexit deal would be delayed until as late as March 12 - just 17 days before Britain is due to leave the EU.

“We won’t bring a meaningful vote to parliament this week but we will ensure that that happens by the 12th of March,” May told reporters on board her plane. “It is still within our grasp to leave the European Union with a deal on the 29th of March and that is what we are working to do.”
