UK will stop to be member of EU on October 31 – Finance Minister

The United Kingdom, UK Finance Minister, Mr. Sajid Javid had on Monday said that UK will leave the European Union on Oct. 31, hopefully with a deal.

“Hopefully we leave with a deal,” Javid told ITV. “If we cannot strike a deal, I think it is important to leave in any case and leave with no deal. It is not perfect but it is appropriate that we leave on the 31st.”

Javid repeatedly refused to set out how the government could deliver Brexit if there was no deal given a law, which demands the prime minister delay Brexit in such a scenario.

“The legislation that parliament has passed of course has made things more difficult, but we are clear our own policy is completely unchanged, we will be leaving on 31st,” Javid said.(Reuters/NAN)
