The former diplomat who wrote Article 50, says the UK could extend the date for its departure from the European Union.

The Crossbench Peer Lord Kerr, told Radio 4's World at One programme that he thought the other 27 EU countries would all "agree by return of post" for the UK to extend the 29 March Brexit day deadline to allow other options to be explored.

"If we were simply saying that we would like to consult the country to get some instructions for us to have a clear mandate ...for the end of the negotiations", he thought there would be "no problem".
