LONDON (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Boris Johnson sent an unsigned letter to the European Union on Saturday requesting a Brexit delay alongside a separate note saying that he did not want an extension, a British government source said.
Under the "Benn Act", passed by lawmakers last month, Johnson had to ask for a Brexit deadline extension from Oct. 31 until the end of January if he failed to get lawmakers' backing for a Brexit deal by Saturday, or their support for leaving without a deal.
