UK: Speaker Bercow picks the following three amendments to vote upon this
evening. Descriptions by Bloomberg:
- AMENDMENT A: An amendment laid by Tories Oliver Letwin and Dominic Grieve, and
Labour's Hilary Benn, will try to take control of Parliament's agenda for a
single day on Wednesday to allow so-called indicative votes on different Brexit
options. This was defeated by just two votes last time, and is expected to pass
tonight. The idea is for MPs to be given a whole range of options, on paper, and
they'll be able to vote for all the alternatives that they could live with.
- AMENDMENT D: Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn's amendment calls for indicative
votes on a range of Brexit options including a customs union, a new version of a
Common Market relationship with the bloc and for a second referendum.
- AMENDMENT F: Veteran opposition Labour lawmaker Margaret Beckett has put
forward a change to the motion that if the U.K. comes within seven calendar days
of leaving the EU without a deal, the government must allow MPs two more days of
debate. This would force a vote on whether to leave with no deal or, again,
whether to extend Article 50.
