Britain’s chancellor of the Exchequer, Philip Hammond, delivered a statement on the country’s economy on Wednesday that was something of a fiscal nonevent, with the specter of Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union, or Brexit, hanging over every economic projection.

Mr. Hammond’s main message — that he could deliver more funds for public spending only if the British Parliament reaches a deal on Brexit — came a day after lawmakers rejected Prime Minister Theresa May’s plan by a large margin.

With Mrs. May sitting behind him, Mr. Hammond conspicuously called for lawmakers “to put aside our differences and seek a compromise” on Brexit, something neither the prime minister nor the Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, has yet accepted.

“Higher unemployment, lower wages, higher prices in the shops. That is not what the British people voted for in June 2016,” he said, referring to the 2016 referendum to leave the European Union.
