<p>As Mr Johnson faced a torrid week of expected Commons clashes over his EU withdrawal stance, a planned meeting on Monday with ex-justice secretary David Gauke and other Conservative critics was called off.</p>
<p><!--Ads2--></p>
<p>It then emerged that a proposed one-on-one meeting between the PM and former chancellor Philip Hammond would also not take place.</p>

<p>The developments came after Cabinet heavyweight Michael Gove refused to say if the Government would abide by legislation blocking a no-deal Brexit if it is forced through by Tory rebels and the opposition this week.</p>
<p>Pressed repeatedly on whether the Government would abide by a successful bid by Commons opponents to pass legislation preventing a no-deal withdrawal on October 31, Mr Gove told BBC One’s The Andrew Marr Show: “Let’s see what the legislation says.</p>
<p>“You’re asking me about a pig in a poke.</p>
<p>“And I will wait to see what legislation the opposition may try to bring forward.”</p>
<p>Mr Gove added: “For me, the most important thing is to bear in mind actually, we already have legislation in place which an overwhelming majority of MPs voted for.</p>
<p>“We already have an EU Withdrawal Act, we already have the notice on Article 50, the process by which we leave the EU.”</p>

<p>Mr Johnson held a strategy meeting with party whips and senior aides on Sunday in preparation for a tough week ahead.</p>
<p>Opponents of no deal look set to try to seize control of the parliamentary agenda to push through legislation delaying Brexit beyond October 31.</p>
<blockquote><p>I think that there are a number of economic factors in play &#8211; some prices may go up, other prices will come down</p></blockquote>
<p>Shadow Brexit secretary Keir Starmer, who said he favoured legislation to prevent a no-deal scenario, branded Mr Gove’s stance “breathtaking”.</p>
<p>He tweeted: “For ministers not to confirm that this Government will accept and comply with legislation lawfully passed is breathtaking.</p>
<p>“The Prime Minister must make a statement on this straightaway.</p>
<p>“No Government is above the law.”</p>

<p>Tory MP Guto Bebb said Mr Gove’s comments were “a disgrace to our democracy”.</p>
