Brexit 'no deal' is massively less probable after EU agreement: Minister

LONDON: Britain is less likely to leave the European Union without an agreed exit deal after last week`s decision by the European Commission to recommend that talks move on to the next phase, Brexit minister David Davis said on Thursday.

"I think no deal has become massively less probable after the decisions of last Friday - and that`s a good thing because the best deal is a tariff free, non-tariff barrier-free arrangement," Davis told parliament.

He also said the government would have to think about how to respond to a decision by parliament to hand lawmakers more say over a final exit deal with the EU.
