The House of Lords of the British Parliament did not support the bill on brexit. The representatives of this governmental body want to amend the legislative act. The lords insist that citizens of the European Union’s countries can also live and work in the UK after the brexit.
The amendment received the required number of votes. The bill went for revision.
Theresa May urged the Lords to accept the document unchanged, but they decided in their own way. According to the press of Britain, this is the first serious defeat of the Prime Minister of the country on the way to exit from the EU.
What will happen next?
The process of amending the bill may take several weeks. At the same time, government representatives will try to prevent the change of this act.
The House of Commons had passed a bill on the withdrawal of Britain from the European Union a month ago. It was assumed that there would be no problems in the House of Lords with it.
