EU and UK reach an agreement on Brexit deal

EU and UK reach an agreement on Brexit deal

Negotiators from the European Union and the UK have reached an agreement on a Brexit deal before a meeting of European leaders in Brussels.

British lawmakers voted narrowly in favour of holding the first Parliamentary Session on a Saturday in 37 years, to debate the government's new Brexit deal.

Members of the lower chamber House of Commons voted 287 to 275 in favour.

It would only be Parliament's fifth Saturday session since the eve of World War II.

The two sides have been working on the legal text of a deal, but it will still need the approval of both the UK and European Parliaments.

Britain is due to leave the European Union by 31st of October
