The Government is set to confirm that it has delayed the next stage of the EU Withdrawal bill, which will transfer EU legislation into British law in time for the UK’s departure. It follows
a bid by Tory Remainers working with Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour and the SNP to block quitting the EU by tabling hundreds of amendments to the bill. Objections are centred on “Henry VIII powers”
which ministers hoped to use to amend laws without a vote in Parliament. But senior Tory backbenchers have said that they believe the Government is now willing to set up a “sifting
committee” of MPs to allow Parliament instead of ministers to decide which laws need to be voted on.
