A British Treasury minister has called the United Kingdom's return to the EU "an inevitability".

Lord Spencer Livermore, the financial secretary to the treasury, said on Monday that reversing Brexit was "absolutely" in the UK's "national economic interest" while also touting the government's "reset" efforts with Brussels.

"Should we in due course reenter the European Union, well of course, my personal view is that that is an inevitability," he told peers in the House of Lords. "Of course the UK will at one point reenter the European Union".
