London: UK Finance Minister Sajid Javid on Monday said Britain will pull out from the European Union on October 31 and hopefully with a deal.
"If we cannot strike a deal, I think it is important to leave in any case and leave with no deal. It is not perfect but it is appropriate that we leave on the 31st," Javid said.
However, the minister refused to specify how the government intends to deliver Brexit in a no-deal situation.
"The legislation that parliament has passed, of course, has made things more difficult, but we are clear our own policy is completely unchanged: We will be leaving on the 31st," he added.
