The no-deal Brexit bill will ‘will clear Lords’

The bill will complete its passage through the Lords on Friday, said the government regarding a bill, which is designed to stop a no-deal Brexit.

Before being passed as law, the bill will return to the Commons on Monday for considering any amendments.

On Wednesday, the proposed legislation was passed by MPs, following Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s defeat.

The bill is designed to stop UK falling out of the European Union in a situation where Boris Johnson does not get a Brexit deal or MPs do not back leaving without an agreement in place.

There were claims that the pro-Brexit peers could intentionally hold up the bill so it could not get royal assent before Parliament is prorogued next week.

But, after meeting with Labour, the Conservative chief whip in the Lords announced a breakthrough in the early hours.
