LONDON -- Following a chaotic week in British politics, Japanese businesses repeated their calls for clarity over Brexit, with some already acting on their contingency plans as Parliament voted Thursday to seek a delay to the U.K.'s exit from the European Union.
Uncertainty remains as a request to delay the departure date by three months is conditional on Prime Minister Theresa May's twice-defeated withdrawal deal gaining parliamentary approval next week. If the deal is rejected again, the U.K. would still request a delay but the reasoning or length of extension is currently unknown.
