The EU (Referendum on Withdrawal Agreement) Bill would force a public vote on whether to endorse the withdrawal agreement with the EU or to remain in the EU, and it would require the Prime Minister to ask for an extension of the Article 50 deadline to finish after that referendum. In effect, it pauses the current Brexit timetable to let the country decide the future relationship with the EU.
