A proposed legislation giving Boris Johnson’s authorities the ability to override components of the Brexit settlement with the EU has handed its first hurdle within the Commons.
MPs backed the Inner Market Invoice by 340 votes to 263.
Throughout a heated debate earlier than the vote, Labour’s Ed Miliband criticised the invoice, saying the UK was backing away from a deal the prime minister himself had signed earlier this 12 months.
Boris Johnson described the powers as an ‘insurance coverage coverage’, and mentioned that any transfer to make use of them would require a vote.
