Fears of a Conservative backbench rebellion were shortlived as bill goes to the House of Lords
A controversial government Brexit bill that breaches international law has safely passed its final House of Commons hurdle on Tuesday night, despite continued serious doubts among a number of Conservative MPs about the plan.
The internal market bill, which primarily sets out technical post-Brexit details involving the devolved nations, also gives ministers the power to unilaterally re-write elements of the withdrawal agreement with the EU. It passed its third reading by 340 votes to 256. It will now go to the House of Lords.
