Britain is confident it can get the assurances it needs from the European Union over Brexit to get Prime Minister Theresa May's deal through parliament, May's spokeswoman said on Friday, stressing however there was more work to be done.

"This is the start of the process of finding a solution that parliament want and there's obviously more work to do," she said. "There is a shared determination to find a solution and we will keep working on that."
