Description | Now that MPs have given their overwhelming approval to the PM's Brexit deal, the House of Lords now have their turn debating the legislation.
But they may be some time - more than 120 members are expected to speak during second reading of the bill, which is the name given to the main debate on the principles and purpose of draft laws.
Once that is done the Queen will need to sign the bill - a stage known as Royal Assent. Her Majesty may have to stay up quite late - depending on what time debate in the House of Lords finishes. |
