UK must offer 'clear' Brexit response ahead of EU summit: France

France has asked the British government to offer a "clear" answer on its intentions for Brexit before an EU summit next week. 

The French reaction came after UK lawmakers voted to seek a delay if no withdrawal deal is reached soon.

President Emmanuel Macron's office said in Paris, if the current withdrawal



deal is rejected, a clear and new alternative plan must be presented or else Britain will have to leave the EU with no deal.

The summit next week is seen as the last chance for Prime Minister Theresa May to secure unanimous approval from the other 27 EU members for any Brexit delay.
