UK MPs to get vote on second referendum in new Brexit law: PM

LONDON, May 21, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – British MPs will be able to vote on whether or not to hold a second Brexit referendum — but only if they approve draft legislation to implement the divorce agreement with the EU, Prime Minister Theresa May said on Tuesday.

May said the government would also allow parliament to decide whether to remain temporarily in a customs union with the European Union.
