May was forced to make the offer to Conservative party politicians in an attempt to persuade them to back her twice-rejected EU withdrawal deal. 9News
"I know there is a desire for a new approach - and new leadership - in the second phase of the Brexit negotiations - and I won't stand in the way of that."
Conservative Party politician Simon Hart said of May: "She has said that she will not stay through to the next phase of negotiations. If they back the deal she will go." "No timescale was talked about or given," Hart told CNN. "The implication was if she gets her deal through, that will kick start the process to find a new leader almost immediately."
He added that the atmosphere was "respectful" and May "was as animated as I'd ever seen her at committee. She was passionate but not emotional. We are all traumatized at this point by these negotiations.
But parliamentary arithmetic for May's deal still looks difficult as she will need to flip 75 MPs to turnover her loss - she also lacks the backing of the Democratic Unionist Party , which props up her government.
