Justine Greening's call for new Brexit referendum rejected by No 10
16 July 2018
Downing Street has rejected Justine Greening's call for a fresh referendum on the UK's exit from the EU, saying it will not happen "in any circumstances".
The former education secretary argued the final Brexit decision should be given back to the people and out of the hands of "deadlocked politicians".
She called for three options to be on the ballot paper: the prime minister's Chequers deal, staying in the EU or a clean break from Europe with no deal.
The UK is due to leave in March 2019.
Amid continuing Tory divisions over Mrs May's strategy, the government has accepted changes to legislation for customs arrangements after the UK leaves to avoid a Commons rebellion by Brexit-backing MPs.
