Jeremy Wright, Britain’s culture minister, said the government would continue to talk to the opposition Labour Party on Monday to try to find a solution to the Brexit impasse.
In these talks, Prime Minister Theresa May could offer to remain in a permanent customs union with the European Union to win support of Labour, the BBC reported.
With just five days to go until the UK is due to leave the EU, May has said only a cross-party pact will get the support of a majority of MPs, as the DUP and some Tories have rejected her deal with the EU.
However, several Conservatives have strongly criticised the move. On Sunday, Mrs May tweeted a video message, explaining her decision to negotiate with Labour.

May is due at an emergency summit in Brussels on Wednesday, when EU leaders will expect to hear fresh plans.
The UK is scheduled to leave the EU on Friday, 12 April.
