Brexit: Theresa May to meet Sir Graham Brady amid calls to resign
Theresa May is to meet the chairman of an influential committee of backbench Tory MPs, Sir Graham Brady, amid calls for her to set a firm resignation date.No 10 insists the meeting is routine but BBC political correspondent Iain Watson said Sir Graham is likely to press the prime minister for a timetable for her departure.
The UK had been due to leave the EU on 29 March, but the deadline was pushed back to 31 October after Parliament was unable to agree a way forward.On Monday, Sir Geoffrey Clifton-Brown, treasurer of the 1922 committee - an elected body of MPs which represents backbenchers and also oversees leadership contests - told the BBC that Mrs May should announce a"road map" for her resignation after the European elections set for 23 May.
Leading Eurosceptic Sir Bill Cash also told the Press Association"the time has come" for her to resign. "She needs to be given a date. The sooner the better. But it needs to be done in an orderly manner," he said.
