Brexit vote scrapes through in Commons

(UTV|COLOMBO) – The government has narrowly avoided a defeat on its Customs Bill after agreeing to Brexiteers’ demands to change its wording.

It twice survived by just three votes after a backlash from pro-EU Tories who accused Theresa May of “caving in” to the party’s Eurosceptic MPs.

Defence Minister Guto Bebb resigned so he could vote against the government.

MPs will carry on debating Brexit on Tuesday when the Trade Bill comes to the Commons.

It gives the government the power to build new trade relationships around the world after the UK leaves the EU, and MPs who support staying in the EU’s customs union are seeking to change its wording.
