On 7 March, leader of the House of Commons Andrea Leadsom confirmed that the UK parliament will vote on the government’s Brexit deal on March 12. If the deal is rejected, the parliament will then vote on a no-deal scenario.
If the UK decides to hold a second referendum, Brexit may never take place, thus the authorities would be letting the voters down, British Prime Minister Theresa May stated on Friday.
The prime minister’s comment comes after she promised to hold another parliamentary vote on the withdrawal agreement by 12 March, which will mark just over two weeks before the UK’s effective withdrawal from the European Union on 29 March. After that, Leader of the House of Commons Andrea Leadsom confirmed on 7 March that the UK parliament will vote on the government’s Brexit deal on 12 March.
