Dutch PM Rutte - Brexit delay request would need 'convincing justification'

Any request from the British government for a delay to its departure from the European Union must be supported by a "credible and convincing justification", Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said on Tuesday."Should the UK hand in a reasoned request for an extension, I expect a credible and convincing justification," Rutte tweeted after the British parliament overwhelmingly rejected Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit withdrawal agreement for a second time.
