Johnson’s Brexit Deal one step closer to Royal Assent

Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal has cleared the Commons, taking the prime minister one step closer to his commitment to “get Brexit done”.

After three days of debate and several defeated amendments, MPs voted to pass the Withdrawal Agreement Bill through committee stage and third reading by 330 votes to 231.

It will now go to the House of Lords where members have been warned by the prime minister not to make any changes to his bill, which would slow the process down.

If the bill goes through the Lords without any changes, it can progress to Royal Assent.
