The UK is a step closer to leaving the EU after MPs overwhelmingly backed a bill allowing Prime Minister Theresa May to trigger Article 50.
MPs will today pore over a government White Paper setting out its Brexit strategy and a long list of amendments from MPs of all political stripes.
The European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill was overwhelmingly backed by a majority of 384 MPs – 498 to 114 – at its second reading on Wednesday. Its approval allows Mrs May to trigger Article 50 – the formal procedure for leaving the European Union.
Hundreds of amendments have already been tabled for debate and votes between Monday and Wednesday and the objectives set out in the White Paper are sure to inspire more.
Downing Street said the White Paper would "reflect the Government's plan for Brexit as the PM set out in her speech on our negotiating objectives".
Brexit was approved by a narrow margin (52 per cent voted to leave the EU; 48 voted to remain) in an advisory referendum on June 23.
