LONDON, Nov. 19 -- Embattled British Prime Minister Theresa May on Monday enlisted British business leaders to back her much-criticized Brexit deal, insisting that she would not make any change to the draft divorce agreement between London and Brussels.

Speaking at the annual Conference of British Industry (CBI), the prime minister said: "We have in view a deal that will work for the UK. And let no one be in any doubt. I am determined to deliver it."

Business is one of the key fields to be most affected by the British departure from the European Union (EU) as Brexit creates more uncertainties on the economic and financial connections between Britain and continental Europe.

May, acknowledging that Brexit is the one paramount issue facing the country at the moment, said "I know it is the number one concern of the CBI."

Meanwhile, the prime minister also used her speech at the conference to move her defending campaign into British business world in order to defy Tory rebels as Brexit enters a crucial week.

At present, she is fighting to defend her Brexit plan, neutralize the efforts to topple her and finalize the framework of future relations with the EU.

She wanted to drive home her message that the terms of the UK departure from the world's largest trading bloc have been "agreed in full" and the only thing left to discuss is the future trade deal.

The prime minister made the statement at a time when some Tory members of the parliament continue to press for late changes to the deal.
