Theresa May has said the UK requires an extension to Article 50 which is "as short as possible" in order to avoid a no-deal Brexit.
Speaking in 10 Downing Street following a seven-hour Cabinet, the Prime Minister said the UK needs an extension to Brexit talks in order to leave the EU with a deal.
Mrs May said she is offering to sit down with Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn to try to agree a plan which allows the UK to leave the EU with a deal.
The PM said she hoped to agree a deal with Mr Corbyn which could be put to the Commons for approval before the April 10 European Council summit but, if that cannot be achieved, then a number of alternative options could be put to the vote.
Insisting that any resolution should take the UK out of the EU by May 22, Mrs May said: "This is a decisive moment in the story of these islands and it will require national unity to deliver the national interest."
Mr May said: "I have always been clear that we could make a success of no-deal in the long term but leaving with a deal is the best solution.
"So we will need a further extension of Article 50 - one that is as short as possible and which ends when we pass a deal.
"And we need to be clear what such an extension is for: to ensure we leave in a timely and orderly way. This debate, this division, cannot drag on much longer."
