BRUSSELS (AP) – Britain’s Parliament has dealt the government a narrow defeat by passing an amendment designed to put roadblocks in place to make a “No Deal” Brexit more difficult.
Legislators on Tuesday backed an amendment to the Finance Bill that would prohibit spending on “No Deal” preparations unless authorised by Parliament.
The vote showed widespread opposition in Parliament to possible plans for a “No Deal” scenario under which Britain would leave the European Union on March 29th without a departure agreement in place.
