This seems at odds with the whole point of Article 50 (it would 'frustrate' the whole point of there being a timetable!), so I don't believe this at all. But it's also what Junker has said! Ultimately this might require the European courts to second.

The second claim is that it is “very likely” that MPs and peers will be given a vote once the withdrawal negotiations are finished. Obviously the reversibility of Article 50 is pretty key to the context of that statement. A vote is pretty useless if the choice is between accepting the outcome of some negotiations, or being ejected from Europe without any successful negotiation at all!
