Brexit Delay Law Passes UK's House of Commons

Description

On Wednesday the lower house of Britain’s parliament approved legislation which would force Prime Minister Theresa May to seek a delay to Brexit in order to prevent the risk of leaving without a deal on April 12. Reuters reports that lawmakers rushed the legislation through all of its stages in the House of Commons on Wednesday, with the final stage passed by 313 to 312. It will now move to the upper chamber, the House of Lords. May said on Tuesday she would seek another short extension to Brexit beyond April 12.
