		</div><p>Theresa May is preparing to make a “bold offer” to British MPs in a final attempt to get her beleaguered Brexit deal through Parliament and onto the statue book before she leaves office.</p>
<p>Ministers will begin discussions on Monday on a package of measures to be included in the forthcoming Withdrawal Agreement Bill (WAB) aimed at securing cross-party support.</p>
<p>The weekly meeting of the UK Cabinet on Tuesday will then consider plans for a series of “indicative votes” in the Commons to establish which proposals could command a majority in the House.</p>

<p>The move follows the final collapse on Friday of cross-party talks with Labour aimed at finding an agreed way forward which would allow Britain to leave the EU with a deal.</p>

<p>The WAB – which is needed to ratify the deal with Brussels – is expected to include new measures on protecting workers’ rights, an issue where agreement with Labour was said to have been close.</p>
<p>However, UK Government sources made clear the package would not just be aimed at Labour MPs but would seek to secure the widest possible support across the Commons.</p>
<p>It is expected to include provisions on future customs arrangements with the EU and on Northern Ireland, including the use of technology to avoid the need for border controls with the Republic.</p>
<p>It will not, however, seek to re-open the Withdrawal Agreement – which included the controversial Northern Ireland “backstop” – after the EU repeatedly made clear it could not be re-negotiated.</p>
<blockquote><p>We intend to make a bold offer that will allow Parliament to back the Bill, get the deal over the line – and deliver Brexit</p></blockquote>
<p>“The Government have been negotiating with Labour for an agreement to build the biggest level of support across Parliament for the Withdrawal Agreement Bill,” a Government source said.</p>
<p>“Labour have been clear that they have not ruled out supporting it if the overall package is acceptable.</p>
<p>“We intend to make a bold offer that will allow Parliament to back the Bill, get the deal over the line – and deliver Brexit.”</p>

<p>Mrs May has said she will bring the WAB before MPs for its second reading vote in the first week of June following the short Whitsun recess.</p>
<p>Regardless of how the vote goes, she will then meet the chairman of the Tory backbench 1922 Committee, Sir Graham Brady, to agree a timetable to elect her successor as party leader, paving the way for her departure from No 10.</p>
<p>The British Prime Minister expected to set out details of her WAB proposals in a major speech before the end of the month.</p>
<p>But after three previous attempts to get her deal through the Commons went down to hefty defeats, many Tory MPs are sceptical that her fourth will fare any better.</p>
