U.K. House of Commons approves Brexit bill
DUSHANBE, 09.02.2017. /NIAT «Khovar»/. The U.K. House of Commons on Wednesday approved legislation that would allow Prime Minister Theresa May to begin negotiations regarding the country’s exit from the European Union. The lower house of Parliament backed the bill in a 494-122 vote, according to the BBC.
The bill now moves to the House of Lords. Prime Minister May wants to trigger Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty by March 31, a move that would formally kick off exit talks.
We will recall that U.K. citizens narrowly voted last June to leave the EU.
