Anti-Brexit lawmakers pushing for more power over the divorce process will meet government officials on Tuesday, as the government tries to head off a potentially humiliating defeat in Parliament.
Prime Minister Theresa May won’t be offering more concessions, a person familiar with its position said, and a spokesman said the government couldn’t accept what the rebel lawmakers want. But Dominic Grieve, the leader of the group that’s trying to ensure Britain maintains close ties to the bloc after Brexit, said a compromise was possible after the House of Lords defeated the government on Monday.
