Theresa May to let Parliament decide Brexit's fate; no-deal and delay votes set

British Prime Minister Theresa May bowed to intense political pressure and handed control of Brexit to Parliament.

Britain's Prime Minister Theresa May leaves 10 Downing St. to make a statement to the Parliament in London on Feb. 26.

Britain is due to leave the EU on March 29, but so far the government has not been able to win Parliament's backing for its divorce deal with the bloc. That leaves the country facing a chaotic no-deal Brexit that could cause disruption for businesses and people in Britain and the EU. May said her goal remains to lead Britain out of the EU on schedule and with a deal, even though she still hasn't managed to win Parliament's approval for her agreement with the bloc.

British lawmakers rejected May's deal with the EU last month — largely over concerns about a provision to guarantee an open border between the U.K.'s Northern Ireland and EU member Ireland — and sent May back to Brussels to get changes.
