“At the moment it is up to the EU, as you know, to decide whether or not they are going to give us an extension. As things stand we can leave on Oct. 31. We should be leaving on Oct. 31.”
“Of course October 31 is still possible – we could leave on Oct. 31 – unfortunately it depends on what the EU says,” he concluded.
