British MPs will vote on the Brexit Withdrawal Deal for a third time tomorrow - mitchefi reports |
MPs are to vote on the British government's EU Withdrawal Agreement tomorrow, but the motion will not count as a third attempt to pass a "meaningful vote" on Theresa May's deal as it will not cover the future relationship with Europe.
"The previous meaningful vote encompassed both the Withdrawal Agreement and the Political Declaration - this motion covers the former but not the latter. If passed by MPs, the vote would qualify the UK to be granted an automatic delay to 22 May of the formal date of Brexit. Ms Leadsom said it was crucial to make every effort to approve the Withdrawal Agreement this week, and said the Government will ask parliament to declare that it wants to leave the EU as soon as possible.
He said: "There's no way out of it once you have signed it and gone into it and we are not prepared to support the Prime Minister on this. "The European Commission takes note of the indicative votes in the House of Commons last night. This is part of an ongoing political process in the UK, which we fully respect," EU spokesman Margaritis Schinas said.Mr Schinas was referring to the parliament's unprecedented step on Tuesday of voting a choice of alternate solutions to the near-dead divorce deal Mrs May reached with Brussels after 17 months of talks.
