Britain is drawing up contingency plans for the unlikely event it has to walk away from divorce talks with the EU without a deal Cheap Mens Nike Air Presto High Shoes Grey Black , Brexit minister David Davis said Sunday.
Prime Minister Theresa May is set to begin exit talks by the end of the month, kicking off Britain's most complex set of negotiations since the end of World War II. The outcome will shape Britain's political and economic future.
Ahead of the start of negotiations, which could be triggered as early as Tuesday, a committee of lawmakers warned it would be a serious dereliction of duty if the government failed to plan for the possibility of not reaching an exit deal.
"I don't think, firstly, that is remotely likely Cheap Men's Nike Air Presto QS Fleece Pack Black Silver ," Davis said. "It's in absolutely everybody's interest that we get a good outcome."
Parliament's Foreign Affairs committee warned that a breakdown in negotiations would be a "very destructive outcome," causing economic harm to both sides as well as creating uncertainty and legal confusion for individuals and businesses.
"The simple truth is we have been planning for the contingency - all the various outcomes, all the possible outcomes of the negotiations," Davis- said. Asked when May would trigger talks, he declined to name a specific date.
"Each date has different implications in terms of when it could be responded to by the [European] council ... I'm not going to get into the details why, but there's politics in terms of achieving success."
Before May can begin negotiations Cheap Mens Nike Air Presto Essential Shoes Grey Red , she must finish passing the legislation that gives her the right to formally notify the EU of Britain's intention to leave and start a two-year negotiating period as set out in the EU's Lisbon treaty.
The laws are expected to be finalized in a series of votes early this week, which will test May's authority over the Conservative Party as she seeks to overturn changes made to the draft bill by parliament's upper chamber.
