British Prime Minister Theresa May should today ask the European Union for a shorter delay in Great Britain's exit from the bloc.

Citing sources from the prime minister's office, the Press Associated agency reported that May will write to EU leaders today and officially ask for "a little more time."

The UK is due to leave the EU on March 29. The British Parliament decided last Sunday that London should seek EU approval to delay Brexit for at least three months, until the end of June, while some EU leaders have hinted that the process could take another two years.

May had intended to present the EU withdrawal agreement to MPs for the third time this Sunday, ahead of the EU summit which starts on Thursday, but the speaker of the parliament ruled that she cannot ask for a vote again on the same agreement which MPs have already rejected twice. .

Any delay in Britain's exit from the EU must be approved by all the other 27 members of the bloc.

British Education Minister Damien Hinds told the BBC today that a shorter Brexit delay is a real option.

Hinds said that the Brexit process has already been going on for more than two years, and that he thinks people are a little tired of waiting for the parliament to adopt the agreement on the separation with the Union.
