A group of Brexit-supporting MPs asked by their colleagues to examine changes to Britain’s EU divorce deal recommended that parliament reject it in a vote on Tuesday.
“In the light of our own legal analysis and others we do not recommend accepting the government’s motion today,” Conservative MP Bill Cash said on behalf of the group.
They include one lawyer, six Conservative MPs plus Nigel Dodds, deputy leader of the Northern Ireland’s Democratic Unionist Party (DUP).
