The House of Commons on Friday voted in favor of Boris Johnson’s amended Brexit bill, bringing the U.K. one step closer to leaving the EU by January 31
LONDON — The House of Commons voted in favor of Boris Johnson’s amended Brexit bill, bringing the U.K. one step closer to leaving the EU by January 31.
“This is the time when we move on and discard the old labels of Leave and Remain. In fact, the very words seem tired to me — as defunct as Big-enders and Little-enders, or Montagues and Capulets at the end of the play [references to"Gulliver's Travels" and"Romeo and Juliet"]." Only ministers will now be able to act as U.K. co-chair of the Joint Committee that will oversee the implementation of the Brexit deal. Under the previous versions of the bill, senior government officials were entitled to play such a role.
As expected, the bill outlaws extending the Brexit transition period beyond the end of 2020, although Johnson would be able to pass further legislation extending the transition if he wished so.
