UK govt says will take time to look at no-deal Brexit legislation if passed

- United Kingdom
The British government will take time to look at any legislation passed to block a no-deal Brexit, Education Secretary Gavin Williamson said on Monday when asked whether ministers could ignore such a move. Opposition lawmakers and some rebels in the ruling Conservative Party are seeking to change the law to force the government to delay its departure from the European Union, to prevent a no-deal Brexit.
Asked about comments on Sunday from Michael Gove, the minister in charge of no-deal Brexit planning, who refused to say whether the government would abide by legislation designed to stop a no-deal Brexit, Williamson said: "It's quite normal for government to take the time to look at the legislation and see how it impacts in terms of the negotiations.
"Every government adheres to the law."
