Division 156 · 8 February 2017

European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill: Committee of the whole House Amdt 43

Government Bill Brexit / EU

What this vote was about

On 8 February 2017, during scrutiny of the European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill (the law letting the Prime Minister trigger Article 50 to begin Brexit), MPs voted on Amendment 43, moved by Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron. It would have required the Government to publish a report on ratifying the UK's new relationship with the EU through a public referendum, reflecting the Liberal Democrats' call for a second vote on the final deal. It attracted little support beyond that party and MPs rejected it heavily by 340 votes to 33, so it was not added to the Bill.
