Both sides promised a decision on Sunday on whether there is still time to close the gap in expectations before Britain leaves the EU single market at the end of the year.

This was due to a lack of cooperation from witnesses.
After the allegations made headlines, the former Bishops teacher resigned and went into medical care. Their marriage also ended.
His attorney, William Booth, said there was also no evidence of criminal conduct because the witnesses were not prepared to testify against him.
