The PM will write to European Council president Donald Tusk to set out the UK's position on an extension to Article 50.
Asked after Tuesday's cabinet meeting whether Mrs May agreed, the prime minister's official spokesman highlighted how she had predicted a"moment of crisis" should MPs vote down her deal for a second time, prior to them doing so last week.He added Mrs May's message to the country is that there is"an absolute determination to find a way that parliament can find a way to leave with a deal".
Prior to the cabinet meeting, Brexit Secretary Stephen Barclay admitted that, if the UK is to leave the EU with a divorce deal, this would no longer be on 29 March as Mrs May once promised. Some Conservative MPs have dismissed the impact of Mr Bercow's ruling on the prime minister's Brexit strategy."If the PM thinks she has a majority for a third meaningful vote, she will also have a majority for a motion to set aside the Speaker's ruling on the Erskine May convention."
But, Tory Brexiteer James Gray - who has twice opposed the prime minister's deal but was ready to vote in favour of it this week - told Sky News:"It seems to me very likely, as a result of Mr Bercow's ruling yesterday, there will be a huge extension to Article 50 over the weekend [and] no deal is off the table.
