LONDON (Reuters) - Brexit minister David Davis said on Wednesday he believed that there was a high probability that Britain would negotiate a deal to leave the European Union, dismissing fears that the country could crash out of the bloc. Telling a parliamentary committee of lawmakers that there was only a tiny probability of a no deal, he said: "I think the massively higher probability is a deal."
