MPs asked Michael Gove questions on progress made on negotiations on the UK's future relationship with the EU.
There are still differences between Britain and the European Union in their talks on a trade agreement, but London will work hard to try to secure a deal, Michael Gove, the minister handling Brexit divorce, said on Thursday.
Boris Johnson has set a deadline of Oct. 15 to strike a free trade deal with the EU, saying that if talks go beyond with no progress both sides should "accept that and move on", meaning Britain will end a transition arrangement with no agreement with its biggest trading partner.
Earlier, sources in Brussels said the two sides had failed to close the gap on state aid in the current round of talks, an issue that Britain is digging its heels in over as officials see it as a point of principle.
The talks have been all but stalled on subsidies, fisheries and ways to solve disputes, and on Wednesday, Britain's chief negotiator, David Frost, wrote to the car industry to say that it might face tariffs.
Gove told parliament that the interests of the automotive sector were front and centre in talks on the future relationship.
Meanwhile, The EU on Thursday launched legal action against Britain's new Internal Market Bill on the grounds that it undercuts London's earlier legal commitments under its Brexit divorce treaty, the head of the bloc's executive said.
Afterwards, there was an Urgent Question for Health Secretary Matt Hancock on the 10 pm hospitality curfew and stricter lockdown restrictions for Liverpool, and three other towns and cities putting a further 3 million Brits into a local lockdown.
Then, business questions with Commons leader Jacob Rees-Mogg. Ending with Education Secretary Gavin Williamson giving a ministerial statement on the government’s new “lifetime skills guarantee.”
