U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May sent a letter on 20 March to European Council (EC) President Donald Tusk to ask for an extension to Brexit.
His reply, released via a statement, was: Yes, you can have a short extension, but only if the House of Commons approves the negotiated deal. In his statement, Tusk said: “If the leaders approve my recommendations, and if there is a positive vote in the House of Commons next week, we can finalise and formalise the decision on the extension in a written procedure.”
