British PM exhorts members of House of Lords to not to hold up Brexit Bill

British Prime Minister Theresa May today exhorted the members of House of Lords to not to hold up the crucial Brexit Bill already passed unchanged by the House of Commons.<br/><br/>Her intervention came as the House of Lords, where the Conservative party does not hold a majority, began debating the EU (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill, with a vote expected by tomorrow evening.<br/><br/>MPs in the House of Commons have already given their go-ahead to the Brexit Bill, which gives May the authority to invoke Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty to initiate Brexit negotiations.<br/><br/>The Lords begins the Second Reading debate on the Bill and a vote will take place on Tuesday only if peers allow government legislation through unopposed at this stage If the bill is not amended, then it could theoretically be approved by the Lords at Third Reading on March 7 and go on to become a law.'<br/>
