Terms of Friday Brexit debate still subject to speaker approval - PM's spokesman

The terms of Friday's parliamentary debate on Brexit remain subject to agreement by the Speaker, a spokesman for Prime Minister Theresa May said on Thursday.

The spokesman told reporters the government was keen to build support for May's Brexit deal, and would only put it before lawmakers for a vote if there was a realistic chance of success. (Reporting by Kylie MacLellan, writing by William James, editing by Elizabeth Piper)
