UK Parliament Passes Motion To Delay Brexit Date

Government motion wins Thursday's vote with a majority of 210 votes.

British MPs passed a government motion Thursday night giving Prime Minister Theresa May a mandate to ask the EU to extend Article 50 and thus delay the date of Brexit past March 29.



After a series of defeats in the House of Commons this week, May won this evening's ballot in a 412-202 vote.



With the motion now passed, May will ask the EU for an extension to Article 50 -- the clause of the EU treaty under which Britain is leaving -- until June 30, 2018.



If the EU agrees to the delay, the U.K. will not be leaving the bloc on March 29 as previously planned. -
