UK’s House of Commons approves Brexit delay law

LONDON (Reuters) – The lower house of Britain’s parliament on Wednesday approved legislation which would force Prime Minister Theresa May to seek a delay to Brexit in order to prevent the risk of leaving without a deal on April 12.

Lawmakers rushed the legislation through all of its stages in the House of Commons on Wednesday, with the final stage passed by 313 to 312. It will now move to the upper chamber, the House of Lords.
