[Brexit:
Boris Johnson partially climbs down
on Internal Market Bill in face of Tory rebellion
Downing Street offered a compromise to try
and win over the dozens of Conservatives
who either abstained or voted against
the draft legislation that would override
the withdrawal agreement - breaking international law.
A statement was released "following talks" between
Number 10 and disgruntled backbenchers,
agreeing that the amendment
will provide a "clearer, more explicit democratic
mandate for the use of these powers".
And ministers have agreed to another amendment
that "sets clear limits on the scope and
timeliness of judicial review" of the bill.
The prime minister has promised to give MPs
another vote before any of the powers are used,
as long as they pass the Internal Market Bill
when it is due to complete its
Commons journey early next week.]
