- 7 years ago
British MPs have been discussing EU withdrawal legislation that will untangle the UK from more than 40 years of EU lawmaking.
The EU withdrawal bill will sever political, financial and legal ties with the bloc.

MPs will vote on Monday on whether the bill can move on to the next part of its long legislative journey, when it could be amended.
Its safe passage through parliament is especially important for a government that has been criticised in Brussels over its Brexit strategy and after a series of leaks, one of a letter to companies asking them to support Britain’s plans.
“The repeal bill helps deliver the outcome the British people voted for by ending the role of the EU in UK law, but it’s also the single most important step we can take to prevent a cliff-edge for people and businesses, because it provides legal certainty,“ May said in a statement.
