the brexit secretary david davis
has called on mps to
reject lords amendments —
and to give the prime minister
a "free hand" in negotiations
with the european union.
if the bill is passed —
theresa may could trigger
the formal process of brexit
as early as tuesday.
our political correspondent
susana mendonca has more details.
theresa may wants to get on with it.
for months she has vowed
to kick—start brexit talks
by the end of march.
but some here in parliament
are fighting to get safeguards
written into law before
the negotiations begin.
today the brexit secretary tried
to reassure mps and peers
they would get a vote
on the prime minister's
final deal with the eu.
but...
what we can't have is the,
the either house of parliament
reversing the decision
of the british people.
they haven't got a veto on it.
what does it mean otherwise?
people talk about meaningful votes.
what does it mean.
peers have defeated the government
twice, and labour's standing firm.
