Read our privacy policy Theresa May could announce a delay to Brexit upon her return from an EU leaders' gathering in Egypt, a government minister has hinted. Asked if the prime minister could announce an Article 50 extension after her return from talks with other EU leaders in Egypt, the defence minister said: "You need to wait and hear what she has to say when she gets back. Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Mr Ellwood also on Eurosceptic MPs in the European Research Group to "fall in line" to help Ms May secure a deal. During the first day of the EU and Arab League summit in Egypt, the prime minister insisted a vote will be held on her deal before 12 March and said it was "still within our grasp" to leave the EU on 29 March - a remarkably lukewarm assessment given Ms May's previous statements on the UK's exit date.
