British official has confirmed that Britain will participate in the upcoming European Parliament elections, Sky News reported on Tuesday.
The elections will take place on May 23.
Downing Street has determined that there is not enough time left to complete the ratification of a Brexit deal before then, Sky News quoted Cabinet Office Minister David Lidington as saying.
Given how little time there is, it is "regrettably not going to be possible to finish that process before the date" that is legally due for European Parliament elections", said Lidington.
