MPs vote in favour of second reading of Brexit delay bill

  • 5 years ago
MPs have backed a second reading of a Brexit delay bill, which could trigger Boris Johnson to seek a general election. Opposition MPs and Tory rebels ensured the bill passed its first stage by 329 votes to 300. If it is passed in full, it will force the PM to ask for an extension to 31 October Brexit deadline if a deal has not been agreed with the EU. Report by Blairm.
