Live Updates: Jeremy Corbyn to Discuss Brexit Tactics With Opposition
The British peers have concluded the debate regarding a bill blocking a no-deal Brexit in the House of Lords in London on Friday.
The House of Lords on Friday is set to approve the legislation, which compels Boris Johnson to seek a three-month extension from Brussels if he cannot agree on a divorce deal at an EU summit on 17-18 October.
It is expected to become law on Monday.
After completing the committee and report stage as well as the bill’s third reading by 17:00 local time on Friday, the House of Lords will send it back to the House of Commons, where MPs will vote on it again on Monday.
On Wednesday, the House of Commons rejected a snap general election, approving a so-called Benn Bill, which proposes that the government can’t withdraw from the European Union on 31 October without having an agreement with Brussels.
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has repeatedly stated that he is determined to leave the EU by 31 October, with or without a deal.
