Brexit: Government may call off vote if Letwin amendment passes

Sources at 10 Downing Street have told reporters in Westminster that the government may call off the vote on the Brexit deal if an amendment to force a Brexit extension passes. 

The government would then introduce new legislation on Monday to exit the EU by October 31.

Steve Swinford tweets:

Super Saturday could be about to become rather anti-climactic Govt says it will pull main motion if Letwin amendment passes because it will 'render the entire day, that they demanded, meaningless' It will also mean Boris Johnson will have to write letter requesting Brexit delay
