The house of Commons of British Parliament rejected amendments to the law on Brexit

LONDON, Mar 13 — RIA Novosti, Maria Tobacco. The house of Commons of the British Parliament on Monday afternoon rejected made by the house of lords amendments to the bill on the launch of the Brexit, returning the document to the lords for reconsideration.

The lords in their amendments to the bill demanded that the government ensure in the shortest possible time, the immutability of status living in the UK EU citizens and to put into legislative form the promise of the Prime Minister Theresa may to present to the Parliament the final agreement with the European Union.

Rejecting the amendments, the house of Commons, previously approved the document in its original form, complied with the request of the government, insisting that the bill should remain unchanged and that any amendments could impair future negotiations.

Now the house of lords have either to continue the so-called ping-pong, that is, the transfer of document from one chamber to another, or to give and take the bill in its original form.

If the lords accept the bill, he is, to become law only requires Royal assent. Given that the consent of Queen Elizabeth II may may get in a few hours, a way for the Prime Minister to officially launch Brexit will be opened.

It is not excluded that in this scenario, on Tuesday, may announce that she is officially informed Brussels about the activation of article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty on withdrawal from the EU. However, the analysts draw attention to the fact that the current week is not the best time for this. On Wednesday in the Netherlands, elections will be held, and at the end of the week in Aberdeen will begin the conference of the Scottish national party, and the coincidence of start Brexit with these events can be interpreted as a breach of diplomatic etiquette.
