Theresa May to introduce key Brexit bill for voting within 10 days: Reports
London, Apr 23 (Sputnik): UK Prime Minister Theresa May is likely to introduce the withdrawal and implementation bill (WAB), a key piece of Brexit legislation, for voting in the country’s parliament in the next 10 days, local media reported Tuesday citing government sources.
The WAB must be passed by the parliament so that May’s Brexit deal was ratified, according to The Guardian.
After the government's withdrawal deal was rejected by the UK parliament for the third time in March, May launched talks with opposition Labour party. Labour lawmakers have voted largely against the government's deal in the past, as the opposition has proposed a closer alignment with the bloc, including a customs union.
The UK parliament has repeatedly rejected the withdrawal agreement, coordinated between London and Brussels, and the country therefore risks tumbling out of the bloc without a deal, which could affect both the UK and EU economies.
