Brexit Bill completes UK parliament's passage, awaits royal assent

As Brexit deadline nears, Britain has moved another step closer to its exit from the European Union on January 22 as Withdrawl Agreement Bill finished its passage through the parliament. Even though the House of Commons had already passed the bill, House of Lords sent it back with five amendments. The British MP's rejected all five changes including the ones on child refugees. When the bill was again sent to the upper house, the Lords backed down completing the passage in the parliament. The EU Withdrawl Bill now awaits royal assent.

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson reportedly said in a statement that most times it has felt like the party would 'never cross the Brexit finish line, but we've done it'. The approval of the British Parliament on the Withdrawl Bill means Britain will leave the 27-nation bloc on January 31 and 'move forward' as one United Kingdom. According to international reports, the European Union Parliament will prove a consent vote on January 29.
