Brexit-supporting British lawmakers will look at the deal that Prime Minister Theresa May brings back from Brussels but to pass it she must have achieved legally binding treaty change, former minister Theresa Villiers said on Thursday.

"If the prime minister brings back something different then, of course, we will look at that very seriously," Villiers, a Brexit-supporting lawmaker in May's party, told the BBC. "But it would have to be legally binding, treaty change."

"If I think it delivers enough change to allay my concerns about our being locked permanently into an arrangement which has us obeying EU rules without us having a say over them, then that is something I possibly could support," she said.
