UK Parliament Votes to Postopne Decision on Johnson's Brexit Deal

U.K. lawmakers voted to delay a decision on Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal, a move that will force the prime minister to ask the European Union to postpone Britain’s departure from the bloc.

Without sign-off from Parliament, Johnson is required by law to write to the EU asking to delay Britain’s departure until January 31.

On Saturday, lawmakers backed an amendment by former Tory minister Oliver Letwin and ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond that withholds approval for the deal Johnson negotiated with the EU this week until the Withdrawal Agreement Bill that implements it becomes law.
