The government has also pencilled in Nov. 27 for a parliamentary vote on the deal if it is agreed with the EU, sources told the publication.
London and Brussels are racing to agree a deal by the end of the year but Prime Minister Theresa May faces opposition from some of her own lawmakers who want a cleaner break from the bloc.
