LONDON — Britain's exit from the EU could be delayed, a senior minister has said.

Under the terms of Article 50, Britain is due to leave the EU on the 29th March  2019.

The government has previously resisted saying that it is possible to push back this date. Theresa May told Parliament last week that "w e [will] leave the European Union on 29th March 2019," exactly two years after Article 50 was triggered.  

However, Brexit Minister Steve Baker told MPs that the date could be pushed back "by mutual agreement" with the EU.

"It could be by mutual agreement that the date changed," Baker told the House of Commons Procedure Committee on Wednesday.
