英國國會3日再度表決,以313同意、312反對的「一票之差」通過「反對無協議脫歐」。英國首相梅伊(Theresa May)極有可能需要再向歐盟尋求延後脫歐的可能性。
這項延後脫歐法案由工黨議員古柏(Yvette Cooper)與萊特溫(Tory Oliver Letwin)提議,然而歐盟執委會主席容克(Jean-Claude Juncker)先前表示,除非英國國會最晚在12日批准脫歐協議,否則歐盟不會再同意短暫延長英國脫歐期限,3日再度發表聲明,表示4月12日就是歐盟所能夠接受的英國脫歐最後期限,不再寬待。

《英國廣播公司》(BBC)報導,反對黨工黨黨魁柯賓(Jeremy Corbyn)與梅伊3日見面,兩人對話具有相當「建設性」,同意一同展開計畫儘速讓議員投下同意票。
首相發言人表示雙方都展現了彈性,並指派協商團隊共同商討,且將在4日進行全天候討論。柯賓稱談話內容「有用處,但還沒下定論」。

英國國民要求二次公投的聲浪逐漸崛起,柯賓表示針對該議題目前「還沒達成協議」,並譴責國會議員的近期的行為讓自己陷入「十足荒謬的程序」。
3日的投票中,對「反對無協議脫歐」投下不同意票的議員來說,部份擔心這可能會創下「約束」梅伊進行協商的「危險」先例。
In my meeting with Theresa May I put forward Labour's alternative plan and raised the option of a public vote to prevent No Deal or leaving on a bad deal. There wasn’t as much change in her position as I expected but we'll have further discussions tomorrow.
