This bill would force any Withdrawal Agreement between the UK and the EU to take effect only if the UK electorate in a public referendum votes in favour. It also sets out how that referendum would be held and used for any future withdrawal deal.
The bill is at the 2nd Reading in the House of Commons and has not yet progressed to later stages.
In two recorded votes, the Commons split with mixed party positions: the motion to disagree with a Lords amendment passed 325 to 304, and the Report Stage vote on New Clause 6 failed 298 to 322.
