members of the House of commons have approved the text by 494 votes to 122. This bill, submitted to Parliament after the government was forced by the supreme Court in January, must now be considered by the House of lords, which is expected to adopt.

the final adoption of The text should not occur before several weeks, but Theresa May has repeated that it would trigger before the march 31 article 50 of the Lisbon treaty, which will launch two years of negotiations towards the exit from the EU.

To quell any rebellion in the ranks of the conservative majority, the first minister promised Tuesday that the Parliament would decide on the terms of a Brexit before the final outcome of the negotiations between London and Brussels, without, however, that this would impair the output of the european family. the ” We will be introducing a motion.

amendments rejected

Monday, in this same concern to avoid any rebellion among the elected conservatives before the vote on Wednesday, Mme May has warned mps tempted to vote some amendments aimed at reducing the margin of manoeuvre of the government.
