09/01/2019 (Agence Europe) – On Tuesday 8 January, the British Parliament wanted to keep control of a possible exit scenario without an agreement with the EU by adopting an amendment to a budget law limiting the ability of the government to accept a Brexit without an agreement, according to AFP. The vote was passed by 303 votes against 296. The amendment, tabled by Conservative and Labour party elected representatives, makes the commitment of expenses related to a "no deal" subject to either a prior vote of Parliament or a postponement of the Brexit date. An extension of Article 50 is one of the options envisaged by the Europeans in the event of Mrs May's failure to have the Brexit negotiations endorsed on 15 January, during the Parliamentary vote, several sources reported on Tuesday 8 January. However, the leader will have to explain why this extension is necessary. (SP)
