London, March 26, 2019, SPA -- British MPs have adopted a cross-party Brexit amendment which allows Parliament to seize control of the House of Commons agenda to hold a series of indicative votes. The amendment put forward by Oliver Letwin, a Tory MP, changes the rules of parliament in order to provide time for so-called indicative votes on Brexit options. The move could potentially pave the way for a "softer" deal that keeps the UK closer to Brussels. The Commons voted by 327 votes to 300 - a majority of 27 - for a cross-party amendment to enable MPs to stage a series of "indicative votes" on alternatives to the Prime Minister's deal. --SPA 03:31 LOCAL TIME 00:31 GMT 0044 www.spa.gov.sa/w1072695
