LONDON (Reuters) - Britain and the European Union have a deal "within our sights", on the terms on which Britain will leave the bloc, Brexit minister Dominic Raab told lawmakers on Wednesday.
Asked by members of Britain's upper house of parliament whether a deal would be reached at an EU summit in October, Raab said that remained his goal, but that there was "a measure of leeway" over the exact timetable.
Last week, Raab said he was confident of reaching a deal when he was setting out government advice to businesses on how to prepare for any failure to do so before Britain leaves on March 29.
