Britain’s Parliament will try again to find a way through Brexit on Tuesday. If things go as expected, these are the dates that matter the most:
Lawmakers will vote from around 7 p.m. London time on what they think the government should do next. So far, 14 amendments have been proposed, though more may be added. Not all of them will be taken up, but at 15 minutes a vote, they could easily go for three hours or more. The key amendment is from Labour lawmaker Yvette Cooper and Conservative MP Nick Boles, which would force Parliament to allow time to pass a bill that would try to avoid a no-deal Brexit. Others with a strong chance of passage call for time to be given to votes on different Brexit options.
