If a British national election is necessary, it must take place before a European Union summit which starts on Oct. 17, Prime Minister Boris Johnson's spokesman said on Wednesday.
Earlier, Johnson had demanded an Oct. 15 snap election after lawmakers seeking to prevent a no-deal Brexit dealt him a humiliating defeat in parliament which he cast as an attempt to surrender to the European Union.
