British Prime Minister Theresa May has promised her Conservative MPs that she will step down as head of government if they support her Brexit agreement.

"I am prepared to leave this job earlier than I had planned to do what is right for our country and our party," May said at a meeting of the 1922 Committee, a Conservative caucus in the lower house of parliament.

May has said she will not be prime minister during the next phase of Brexit negotiations on Britain's future trade relationship with the EU, adding that she knows MPs do not want her to lead those negotiations, the BBC reports.

She did not specify an exact date for the withdrawal, Conservative MPs who attended the meeting said.

The British Parliament has so far rejected May's Brexit deal with Brussels twice by overwhelming majority.

That she is ready to step down, May said on a day when the British Parliament is debating eight very different options for Brexit, on which it is supposed to vote later.
