Members of Parliament voted to force Prime Minister Boris Johnson to seek a three month delay to Brexit to prevent the UK leaving the EU with no deal.
Members of Parliament have voted for a new law to force Boris Johnson to delay Brexit and stop a no-deal exit from the EU. The legislation is designed to force the prime minister to request a three month extension to the UK's Brexit deadline, currently due to run out on October 31. The bill now passes to the House of Lords where pro-Brexit peers hope to block it. Johnson has insisted he will refuse to request any extension and is seeking an early general election to overturn any delay.
