British Prime Minister Theresa May's spokesman said on Wednesday he was not aware of any discussions about suspending parliament after the idea was suggested by a prominent eurosceptic politician should lawmakers try to block Brexit. Jacob Rees-Mogg, who chairs the pro-Brexit European Research Group (ERG), said earlier the government should do whatever it takes to stop attempts in parliament to take the exit process out of May's hands and delay leaving the EU - including suspending parliament if necessary.
