GETTY\n <\/p>\nThe European Union withdrawal bill returns to the House of Commons today, Tuesday 12, and tomorrow, Wednesday 13, where the Government will debate and vote on 15 amendments.<\/p>\n
This comes after it was put forward to the House of Lords, and Commons will now consider the proposed amendments to the Bill.<\/p>\n
Put simply, MPs will vote on whether they should carry on with Prime Minister Theresa Mays current Brexit plan, or make it much softer.<\/p>\n
Each debate section will be followed by voting, and is split into three parts.<\/p>\n
There will be two three-hours debating sessions today, and one six-hour session tomorrow.<\/p>\n
The MPs can accept or reject the proposed amendments, or propose \u201camendments in lieu\u201d.<\/p>\n
After this stage the bill will return to the Lords for peers to consider the Commons proposal.<\/p>\n

BREXIT NEWS: The EU Withdraw bill is returning to the House of Commons<\/p>\n
The EU withdraw bill has taken 12,000 pieces of existing EU regulation, and now the process has started to decide which the government will transfer into UK law.<\/p>\n
It repeals the European Communities Act 1972, which brought the UK into the EU in the first place.<\/p>\n
To ensure a smooth Brexit, the existing EU legislation was copied across into domestic UK law.<\/p>\n
Now the laws are being amended to ensure there wont be holes in the law after we leave.<\/p>\n
Theresa May's Tory government is currently looking anything but "strong and stable". An unconvincing election victory and lingering Brexit anxieties have been exacerbated by Michael Fallon's recent Cabinet resignation; while Priti Patel and Boris Johnson have also made serious mistakes. Here's some of the bookies' favourites to replace her as leader of the Conservative Party.<\/p>\n

Gaff-prone Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson is favourite to succeed Theresa May at 4\/1 <\/p>\n
Peers challenged the Government on 15 issues, and introduced amendments which will be debated in Commons.<\/p>\n
The amendments were proposed for a wide range of issues, including future UK membership of the customs union and the European Economic Area (EEA).<\/p>\n
Other amendments include the ministers use of \u201cHenry VIII\u201d powers to force through change without parliamentary scrutiny.<\/p>\n
The question of whether MPs should get a \u201cmeaningful vote\u201d on the final Brexit deal will also be debated.<\/p>\n
The other amendments are:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n \u2022 Maintaining EU environmental protections<\/p>\n \u2022 Enhanced security (Prevents EU law on areas such as work, health safety, etc)<\/p>\n \u2022 Charter of fundamental rights (Transfers EUs charter of fundamental rights into domestic law)<\/p>\n \u2022 Parliamentary approval for negotiations<\/p>\n \u2022 Child refugees (Ministers must seek agreement if an unaccompanied child refugee of a EU state wants to join relatives in the UK after Brexit)<\/p>\n \u2022 Northern Ireland: No changes to Irish border arrangements<\/p>\n \u2022 EU law can continue in UK law, and UK can stay in EU agencies<\/p>\n \u2022 No fixed Brexit date \u2013 subject to parliamentary approval<\/p>\n \u2022 Prioritise staying in the EEA<\/p>\n \u2022 Right to challenge a domestic law if it does not comply with general principles of EU law<\/p>\n \u2022 Obliges a committee to scrutinise all ministerial directives used to amend retained EU law<\/p>\n \u2022 Access to internal market<\/p>\n \n HOUSE OF COMMONS: The MPs will review the 15 amendments<\/p>\n These amendments are seen as defeats to Theresa Mays hard Brexit law.<\/p>\n The Government has already accepted one of the amendments from the Lords.<\/p>\n This allows the UK to continue to co-operate with EU agencies.<\/p>\n However, Theresa Mays Government is seeking to overturn the other 14 amendments.<\/p>\n In some of the cases it is offering a compromise solution.<\/p>\n After Britain voted to leave the EU, we look at which European countries want to hold their own EU referendum.<\/p>\n Frexit, Nexit or Auxit? Who will be next to leave the EU <\/p>\n The crunch votes, the most vital votes, are on whether MPs get a meaningful vote, and whether the date of Brexit should be written into law.<\/p>\n These crucial votes will both happen early on Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n The House of Lords proposed an amendment so if the MPs reject the final Brexit deal, they can direct ministers to go back and renegotiate.<\/p>\n \n THERESA MAY: The amendments challenge the Prime Ministers hard Brexit plan<\/p>\n Mrs May only has a working majority of 13 in the Commons.<\/p>\n Even with the support of 10 Democratic Unionist Party MPs, she can be defeated by rebellion.<\/p>\n Around 13 Conservatives have opted for a soft Brexit amendment to the separate Trade bill.<\/p>\n It is now thought others may consider breaking ranks.<\/p>\n However, it is difficult to predict outcomes, because some Labour Leavers are thought to back the Government.<\/p>\n Once the MPs have voted, the bill will return to the Lords on June 18.<\/p>\n However, this doesnt mean it is over.<\/p>\n It will then bounce from House to House until eventually an agreement is reached.<\/p>\n Related articles<\/p>\n <\/a><\/strong> <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The European Union withdrawal bill returns to the House of Commons today, Tuesday 12, and tomorrow, ..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":82494,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-82493","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"\n![\"Brexit](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.dailystar.co.uk\/dynamic\/205\/photos\/848000\/Brexit-news-latest-UK-EU-withdraw-bill-explained-european-union-1360848.jpg\")
