'
Britain could be out of the EU by 22 May if the Commons backs a customs union in Monday night’s indicatives votes, according to officials close to the Brexit negotiations in Brussels.
With Downing Street’s agreement, a reference to the intention to negotiate an ambitious customs deal would be swiftly written into the political declaration and formally signed off at the EU leaders’ summit on 10 April.
Brussels would then expect all the necessary withdrawal legislation to be passed by parliament by the end of May to avoid the holding of European elections in Britain.
