LONDON (Reuters) - Britain’s Brexit minister Stephen Barclay said on Thursday he hoped opposition lawmakers would think again and allow the government’s proposed timetable for passing Brexit legislation to pass.
Parliament on Tuesday blocked Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s attempt to fast-track legislation needed to ratify and implement the Brexit deal he reached with Brussels last week.
Responding to a member of the Scottish National Party, Barclay said: “I hope the honorable gentleman will think again and enable the program motion (timetable) to go through.”
