LONDON - Britain’s Attorney General Geoffrey Cox urged lawmakers to approve the government’s EU withdrawal agreement on Friday, saying it was lawmakers’ last chance to ensure that Brexit will be delayed until May 22. “This is therefore the last opportunity to take advantage of our legal right,” Cox told parliament, citing conclusions of a European Council summit at which the EU agreed to a delay, conditional on the withdrawal agreement being approved this week.Reporting by Elizabeth Piper, writing by William James; editing by Kate Holton
