BRUSSELS, Oct 17 (Reuters) - Prime Minister Boris Johnson
said on Thursday he hoped the British parliament would approve
the new Brexit deal agreed between his government and the
European Union so that Britain could exit the bloc on Oct. 31
with no more delay.
"I hope very much ... that my fellow MPs (lawmakers) in
Westminster do now come together to get Brexit done, to get this
excellent deal over the line and to deliver Brexit without any
more delay," Johnson said in a brief statement in Brussels.
"Now is the moment for us to get Brexit done and then
together to work on building our future partnership, which I
think can be incredibly positive both for the UK and for the
EU."
