The UK government is trying to downplay comments made by chief Brexit negotiator Olly Robbins, suggesting a Brexit delay.

Robbins is alleged to have said the government would wait until the final weeks before the country was due to exit the European Union to present a revised Brexit Deal.

And that MPs would be told if they didn't vote for it, Brexit could be postponed for a significant length of time.
