The British Parliament will stop the exit of Great Britain from the European Union if there is no agreement on the exit, the head of financial policy of the opposition Labor Party, John McDonnell, said on Sunday, reports Hina.
Talks have stalled between Prime Minister Theresa May's government and the European Union on securing a "divorce" deal and an agreement on the future relationship, raising the prospect that the UK could leave the talks without a deal.
However, McDonnell, a top aide to Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn, said he believed there was enough support in parliament to block that possibility.
Parliament currently has no power to block any withdrawal decision.
The government has promised to leave it to the parliament to decide whether to accept the final deal, but this does not ensure the possibility of blocking an outcome in which no deal with the EU is reached.
McDonnell said he thought there was enough support in parliament - where May does not have a majority of more than half of MPs - to change the law to include such a right.
