May's Brexit Bill Returns: A Guide to the Main Voting Battles

Theresa May’s landmark Brexit legislation returns to the House of Commons on Tuesday, with the 15 amendments added to it by the upper House of Lords mostly designed to keep closer ties to the European Union and give Parliament more power over the divorce process.
The prime minister doesn’t have a Commons majority, and there are pro-EU rebels in her party who could side with Labour lawmakers to try to keep the amendments in place. Debates will be held on June 12 and 13 -- a concession from May, who wanted to cram all the voting into one marathon session.
