Brexit break. UK Supreme Court says Parliament must vote on exit from EU
Brexit will have to wait.
The UK Supreme Court has ruled that Parliament must vote on whether the United Kingdom can leave the EU.
In short, the judgement means UK PM Theresa May cannot begin talks with the EU until parliament members give the go ahead.
Expectations are that UK MPs will approve Brexit talks in time for the government’s 31 March deadline.
The Supreme Court also ruled the Scottish Parliament and Welsh and Northern Ireland assemblies did not need a say in the Brexit decision.
