“British Prime Minister Theresa May’s will not be able to bring her beleaguered Brexit withdrawal bill back to parliament for a third vote in its current form, the Speaker of Britain’s House of Commons said, CNN reports.
“Citing a convention that dates back to 1604, Bercow said that the government could no repeatedly put the same motion before lawmakers if it had been previously rejected.”
The BBC said the Speaker’s intervention could have a “massive” impact on the Brexit process – with 11 days to go before the UK is scheduled to leave the EU on March 29.
