Brexit: Bill implementing deal to be introduced in early June
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-48275827
A bill implementing the Brexit deal will be introduced in the first week of June, the government has confirmed.
Downing Street said this was "imperative" if the UK was to leave the EU before MPs' summer recess.
The government also said talks with Labour would continue on Wednesday in an attempt to agree a way through the Brexit impasse.
Attempts to find a cross-party compromise began after the PM's Brexit deal was rejected three times by MPs.
A Labour spokesman said Jeremy Corbyn had raised concerns "about the prime minister's ability to deliver on any compromise agreement".
BBC political correspondent Iain Watson said bringing the legislation forward would allow the prime minister to push ahead with her ambition of delivering Brexit before the summer, despite the lack of agreement so far in the cross-party talks.
He said the vote on the law was separate to a so-called meaningful vote on the prime minister's Brexit deal - which has been defeated by MPs three times.
He added that the proposed timetable nevertheless would allow "more space and more time" for the talks to continue.
The prime minister and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn met on Tuesday evening to discuss the ongoing talks.
Number 10 described the discussions as "both useful and constructive".
A spokesman said Theresa May had made clear the government's "determination to bring the talks to a conclusion and deliver on the referendum result to leave the EU".
