LONDON—Prime Minister Theresa May is determined to get a tweaked version of her rejected European Union divorce deal through Parliament. Pro- Brexit lawmakers want to remove the Irish “backstop,” an insurance policy that would constrain British trade policy in order to ensure there are no customs checks between the U.K.’s Northern Ireland and EU member Ireland. Pro-EU legislators want May to lift her insistence that Brexit means quitting the EU’s single market and customs union. May says the only way to avert a no-deal Brexit is to back her deal, but lawmakers are trying to pause the clock. But EU leaders say they won’t consider any changes until Britain figures out what kind of Brexit it wants.
