UK Parliament Gathers to Vote on Post-Brexit Trade Deal With EU

Subscribe
Negotiators from the UK and the EU reached a post-Brexit trade agreement just one week before the end of an 11-month transition period that came into force when the United Kingdom left the bloc on 31 January.

Sputnik goes live from London as UK lawmakers have returned to parliament to debate and vote on the country's post-Brexit trade deal with the European Union that was agreed on Christmas Eve.

The parliament previously said the agreement will be scrutinised by members of the House of Lords before a vote takes place.

It is expected the deal will be approved as the leader of the opposition Sir Keir Starmer earlier confirmed that the Labour Party would back the deal when it reaches parliament.
