British MPs vote to delay Brexit deal decision
LONDON, Oct 19, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – British MPs on Saturday voted to delay a
decision on Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal, arguing they needed
more time to study its contents before an October 31 deadline.
Lawmakers backed an amendment which effectively forces the government to
request an extension until January next year, while they scrutinised the
proposed domestic legislation to enforce the deal with Brussels.
