<p>The Chancellor spoke as cross-party negotiations to try to break the Brexit deadlock took place in Whitehall on Friday after the UK’s exit date from the EU was delayed until October 31.</p>
<p>Mr Hammond told Bloomberg: “The Prime Minister has said that she will leave once she has done the deal and taken us out of the European Union.</p>
<p><!--Ads3--></p>
<p>“But, as far as I know, she doesn’t have any intention of leaving until that deal is done.</p>
<p>“So, she is a person with a strong sense of duty.</p>
<p>“She feels that she has got a duty, and an obligation to the British people to deliver Brexit and she will certainly want to make good on that obligation.”</p>
<p>Asked about the implications of a Tory leadership contest, Mr Hammond said: “Let’s be honest, we have already got people jockeying for position to succeed her, but that’s just one of those things.”</p>
<p>The Chancellor said Labour was not clear on whether it wanted a new Brexit referendum.</p>
<p>No 10 is still hoping they can get a deal through Parliament in time to avoid the need for Britain to vote in elections to the European Parliament on May 23.</p>
<p>The UK is now formally on track to hold elections, having informed the European authorities ahead of Friday’s deadline that it would be taking part in the ballots occurring across the continent from May 23-26.</p>

<p>However, it is possible for the vote to be cancelled right up to the day before polling if a withdrawal deal is agreed by MPs.</p>
<p>Preparations for the polls were stepping up a gear, with Nigel Farage launching his new Brexit Party in Coventry.</p>
<p>The former Ukip leader said the existing parties should “fear the electorate” who feel “betrayed” by the failure to deliver EU withdrawal almost three years after the 2016 referendum.</p>
