Oct 23, 2019 at 11:25 comment added Lag @HarryJohnston is correct. I don't think the present answers explicitly distinguish between the (a) withdrawal agreement and the (b) withdrawal agreement bill. The House of Commons voted through the bill on Second Reading but voted against the Government's programme motion (the Parliamentary timetable). The bill is domestic legislation intended to implement the international agreement into domestic law. The bill is 115 pages long and was published the evening before the debate.
Oct 23, 2019 at 11:15 comment added Harry Johnston Surely there's a distinction between the deal and the legislation? I don't see anything surprising about Parliament being maybe willing to support the terms of the deal, but nonetheless suspicious that the proposed legislation might have flaws. I mean, the legislation isn't just a word-for-word copy of the terms of the deal, is it?

Oct 22, 2019 at 19:35 comment added o.m. As I understand it, bills in the UK Parliament go through several readings in the full parliament, plus subcommittees. It was voted to have the bill progress one step, but against the government's planned timetable for subsequent steps.
