He told a parliamentary committee that October remains the goal but there was a "possibility it may creep beyond that", Xinhua news agency reported on Thursday. Britain and the European Union (EU) aim to hammer out an agreement on divorce terms and future trade by a European Council summit in October so that it can be approved by individual EU countries before the UK leaves the bloc on March 29, 2019.
