LONDON (Reuters) – Former British finance minister Sajid Javid said he would now support legislation that breaks an international treaty with the European Union, saying government compromises had changed his mind about voting against it.
“The PM (Prime Minister) has spoken of the importance of going through legal procedures and I’m satisfied by the Govt’s assurances,” Javid said on Twitter. “I’ll be supporting Govt amendments and the Bill.”
