British Parliament to finally approve terms of Brexit

Britain's Parliament will finally approve the terms of Brexit today, clearing the divided country's exit from the European Union on 31st of January. The House of Commons will rush through a final day of hearings and ratify Prime Minister Boris Johnson's divorce deal with Brussels.

For much of the time since the 2016 Brexit Referendum, lawmakers have been deadlocked over how, when and even if Britain should leave its closest trading partners after nearly 50 years. MPs gave their initial blessing to the EU Withdrawal Agreement



Bill before Christmas and the government set aside just three days this week for detailed scrutiny of the complex text.

The Brexit Bill must be passed by the unelected House of Lords and the European Parliament, but this is expected before 31st of January.

The Brexit deal covers separation issues such as EU citizens' rights and Britain's financial settlement and sets out an 11-month transition period in which to agree a wider partnership.
