UK PM Theresa May wins vote in Parliament backing her timetable for Brexit

British Prime Minister Theresa May won a vote in Parliament backing her timetable for negotiating Britain's exit from the European Union. MPs voted in the House of Commons 461 to 89 in favour of May triggering Article 50 by the end of March 2017, which will begin the formal process of exit negotiations from the 28-member



economic bloc.

As the Supreme Court in London continues to hear a case to establish the extent of British Prime Minister's power in launching into a Brexit without parliamentary approval, Downing Street put forward an amendment agreeing to publish a plan before triggering Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty.
