Clarke said if Johnson proceeded in a sensible way he could still deliver his Brexit in a month or two's time.
Johnson said, however, "It's in the hands of the EU, we will see what they do with an extension."
Ian Blackford, leader in Westminster of the 35-strong group of Scottish National Party (SNP) lawmakers, said the first ministers of Scotland and Wales, Nicola Sturgeon and Mark Drakeford, have joined forces to stop Brexit.
The two leaders have written a joint letter to Donald Tusk, president of the European Council, asking him to approve a Brexit extension so a new Brexit referendum can take place in Britain.
Ahead of question time, Johnson held a meeting with Jeremy Corbyn, leader of the main opposition Labour Party, to discuss whether an alternative program for the Brexit bill debate in parliament could be agreed.
A Labour Party spokesperson said, "Jeremy Corbyn reiterated Labour's offer to the prime minister to agree a reasonable timetable to debate, scrutinize and amend the Withdrawal Agreement Bill, and restated that Labour will support a general election when the threat of a no-deal crash-out is off the table."
No agreement was reached at the Johnson-Corbyn meeting on Wednesday morning.
Political commentators said after the day's developments that "the waiting game continues, and nothing will be agreed in London until Brussels gives its answers to the extension request."
