It compels the Government to ask the EU to delay Brexit, which is currently due to take place on Friday. The country could still crash out of the EU without a deal if the bloc's leaders refuse to grant a delay. "They want Brexit to be resolved as quickly as possible," Hunt said of the other 27 EU leaders. "There will be different views, but I am confident that we will reach agreement," he said after meeting chief EU Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier in Dublin.
