The UK has offered a larger potential “divorce bill” to the EU – which could be worth between 40bn and 55bn euros (\u00a335bn-\u00a349bn), the BBC understands.<\/p>\n
BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg said the offer was communicated to Brussels after last week’s crucial cabinet meeting.<\/p>\n
There has been no final agreement on a number but the larger offer was given a “broad welcome” by Brussels, she said.<\/p>\n
No 10 has played down reports agreement has already been reached.<\/p>\n
The amount of money the UK will pay as part of Brexit has been one of the main sticking points in the first round of negotiations with the EU.<\/p>\n
In September Theresa May suggested the UK was willing to pay about 20bn euros, and the EU has been calling for its offer to be increased.<\/p>\n
The UK is hoping to move on to talking about trade but the EU will only do this when it deems “sufficient progress” has been made on three areas – the so-called divorce bill, the rights of EU citizens in the UK after Brexit and the Irish border.<\/p>\n
