Members of Parliament today approved legislation that will pass the UK-EU post-Brexit deal into UK law, in a vote split 521 in favour and 73 against. The EU (Future Relationship) Bill now passes to the House of Lords for its approval.

The UK upper house of parliament, the House of Lords, on 20 March voted by 265 to 194 to insist the UK should not withdraw from the European nuclear agreement, Euratom, until a replacement deal is in place. They also supported a plan which would require the UK to report to Parliament regularly on its future arrangements with Euratom. The government, which does not have a majority in the upper house, was defeated by 50 votes on this issue after cross-benchers joined forces with Labour and Liberal Democratic peers to insist on specific assurances over research and development collaboration and the movement of qualifying nuclear material. However, MPs are expected to try and reverse these changes to the Nuclear Safeguards Bill when it returns to the House of Commons (lower house).
