Prime Minister Theresa May warned rebellious lawmakers in her own party
they could endanger Britain’s smooth exit from the European Union if
they tried to change her Brexit blueprint later on Wednesday.
May has tried to avert a rebellion in parliament by promising parliament a series of votes on any deal to leave the EU “as soon as possible” after Brexit talks end, but offered little new ahead of Wednesday’s session.
Members of Parliament (MPs) are debating new laws which will repeal the 1972 legislation binding Britain to the EU and copy existing EU law into domestic law to ensure legal continuity after ‘Exit Day’ on March 29, 2019.
After six days of debate in parliament ranging from the legal minutiae of Brexit to the gaping differences between ‘Remainers’ and ‘Leavers’, May could face a defeat as lawmakers demand more say over the final exit deal.
Wednesday’s likely flashpoint is an amendment put forward by a member of May’s own party, the government’s former attorney general, Domiic Grieve, who wants parliament to have a meaningful vote on any deal before it is finalised.
But May warned that his proposal could push the complex task of transposing EU law legislation right to the end of the two-year negotiation period triggered earlier this year.
