With the approval of the project at the next stage consideration in the House of Commons, the government will be obliged to publish the relevant proposals within three months prior to the procedure Brexit. In support of the changes voted 358 members of the house, opposed by 256 people.
Thus, the House of lords stalled the adoption of the bill of British exit from the EU. Before the lower house of Parliament approved a law on Brexit without additional edits.
