British education minister Damian Hinds said today the government was not planning for a second referendum, denying reports that ministers were looking at such a vote to break the deadlock over Brexit.
Asked if the government was preparing for a vote, Hinds told Sky News: "No, a second referendum would be divisive. We've had the people's vote, we've had the referendum and now we've got to get on with implementing it."
