LONDON—Prime Minister Theresa May told lawmakers Feb. 12 to hold their nerve over Brexit and give her more time to negotiate a deal acceptable to both the European Union and the British parliament.

The United Kingdom is on course to leave the European Union on March 29 without a deal unless May can convince the bloc to amend the divorce deal she agreed last year and get it approved by British lawmakers.
