European stocks closed little changed, paring earlier declines, after U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May said parliament will get a vote on the Brexit deal in which the country will seek to exit the European Union’s single market.
The Stoxx Europe 600 index dropped 0.2 percent at the close, recovering from an intraday slide of 0.7 percent but still held lower by declines in miners and personal-and-household goods companies. May ruled out continued membership in the single market, while saying that she doesn’t want the EU to unravel following her nation’s vote to leave last June.
