Digital Minister Margot James said that Article 50 could be extended if MPs reject Theresa May鈥檚 Brexit deal next deal.

But she added it was not likely that Parliament would "stare down the barrel of that particular gun鈥�.

Speaking on 大象传媒 Politics Live, the Conservative MP said that if it proved 鈥渋mpossible鈥� for MPs to 鈥渃oalesce around a reasonable deal鈥� than 鈥渨e might have to extend Article 50鈥�, but would not give a timescale.

She was debating with Labour's Emily Thornberry and SDP MEP Patrick O'Flynn about Brexit timetable, with the UK due to leave the EU on 29 March.
