LONDON - British lawmakers will seek to use a vote on the government's next steps on Brexit on Monday to wrest control of the process and try to find a majority for an alternative way forward that would break the parliamentary deadlock.
Mrs May has said she hopes to hold a vote on her deal this week, but hinted last Friday that she might not do so if there was not enough support for it to be passed. At the moment it looks like the deal would be unlikely to be approved.WHAT WILL THEY DEBATE? Lawmakers are due to debate a government motion saying that parliament has considered a statement made by Mrs May on March 15 which set out the government's next steps on Brexit, including its plan to seek a delay.
If he does, voting will take place on each selected amendment one by one, before lawmakers vote to give final approval to the wording of the motion. Voting is due to begin at 2200 GMT . Each vote takes around 15 minutes and the result is read out in parliament. The result of any such indicative votes would not be binding on the government but if it showed a majority for an alternative Brexit path which would break the parliamentary deadlock it could be politically difficult for Mrs May to ignore.
It calls on parliament to reaffirm its commitment to honour the result of the 2016 referendum, when Britons voted to leave the EU.
