Boris Johnson is willing to u-turn on his plan to break international law over Brexit - if progress is made on a Brexit trade this week.
Britain and the EU have been discussing implementation of the Brexit deal, or Withdrawal Agreement, in joint committee, trying to find ways to make sure the Brexit deal, and Northern Ireland protocol, can be put in place without disruption.
In a statement, the Government said: "Discussions continue to progress and final decisions are expected in the coming days.
"If the solutions being considered in those discussions are agreed, the UK Government would be prepared to remove clause 44 of the UK Internal Market Bill, concerning export declarations.
"The UK Government would also be prepared to deactivate clauses 45 and 47, concerning state aid, such that they could be used only when consistent with the United Kingdom's rights and obligations under international law.
"Good progress continues to be made regarding the decision as to which goods are 'at risk' of entering the EU market. Talks continue this afternoon.
"In the light of those discussions, the Government will keep under review the content of the forthcoming Taxation Bill."
Meanwhile, Paymaster General Penny Mordaunt said the level playing field remains the "most difficult" issue preventing the UK and the EU from reaching a trade deal.
Answering an urgent question on the negotiations, Ms Mordaunt told the Commons: "Intensive talks continue. In fact, the United Kingdom's negotiating team led by Lord Frost has been in talks with the EU almost every day since October 22 and is working tirelessly to get a deal on our future relationship.
"Indeed, this opportunity also affords us in this place to show our collective resolve in getting a good deal and our expectations of what that needs to look like and what we will not accept.
She added: "Whilst there has been some progress across many areas, familiar differences remain on the so-called level playing field, fisheries and governance.
"Of these, the level playing field issue is currently the most difficult."
