LONDON - Britain’s upper house of parliament is expected to pass a law later on Monday that will force Prime Minister Theresa May to seek a delay to the country’s exit from the European Union to prevent a disorderly Brexit on April 12.
But, lawmakers want additional legal guarantees against a ‘no-deal’ exit, and have torn up convention by driving their own piece of legislation through parliament against the prime minister’s will. It will then need to be returned to the Commons for final approval - which could bring further attempts to block it by Brexit-supporting lawmakers - before it is formally brought into force by a rubber-stamp process known as ‘Royal Assent’.
