London (CNN) The main opposition party in the UK is throwing its weight behind another referendum on Brexit.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said his party would support a move that would give the British public a chance to vote on Theresa May's Brexit deal if Labour's proposals were rejected by Parliament later this week.

He said the Labour Party leadership had taken the decision because of the Prime Minister's failure to secure parliamentary support for her plan, leaving Britain on the verge of crashing out of the European Union without a deal on March 29. The British public voted in June 2016 to leave the EU.

Jeremy Corbyn will meet with Labour lawmakers.

According to a statement, the Labour Party will put forward or support "an amendment in favor of a public vote to prevent a damaging Tory Brexit being forced on the country."

"One way or another, we will do everything in our power to prevent No Deal and oppose a damaging Tory Brexit based on Theresa May's overwhelmingly rejected deal," Corbyn was due to tell a meeting of Labour lawmakers on Monday night, according to the statement.
