British MPs to vote on latest bid to try to prevent a no-deal Brexit
LONDON - British lawmakers will vote on Thursday on a measure aimed at making it harder for the next prime minister to try to force through a no-deal Brexit by suspending parliament.
The measure being voted on does not go as far as an outright block on parliament being suspended but media reported Dominic Grieve, the lawmaker behind the proposal, could try to bring forward a more far reaching clause seeking to ensure parliament is not suspended on key dates in October. Asked if he would vote for the measure, something that would require him to resign, he said: “I will have to see what the precise amendments are ... I’m not in a position to necessarily say.”
