<p>The British Foreign Secretary also said he would cancel August leave for Whitehall officials involved in Brexit preparations if necessary.</p>
<p>Mr Hunt said he would launch an all-out diplomatic effort to cut a new deal with the EU if he beats Boris Johnson in the race for Downing Street.</p>
<p>He said he would make a decision on Brexit talks by September 30, ahead of the withdrawal date of October 31.</p>
<p>The Cabinet minister said: <em>“It is important that the EU knows that we will do what it takes to make a success of a no-deal Brexit.</em></p>
<p><em>“We won’t blink as a country. That no-deal Brexit is not going to be an opportunity for them to successfully turn the screws on our country.</em></p>
<p><em>“I will start engaging with the EU straight away, throughout August.</em></p>
<p><em>“Then, when we have published our plan for a deal we think we can get through Parliament by the end of August, we will start formal negotiations in September.”</em></p>
<p>He added: <em>“There is a hard deadline in what I have said, by the end of September, I, as Prime Minister, will make a judgment as to whether there is a realistic prospect of a deal that can get through Parliament in the short-term.</em></p>
<p><em>“And, if my judgment is that is not the case, talks will stop and we will put our heads down and focus on no-deal.”</em></p>
