Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s government will no longer attempt to block a law aimed at stopping the country from leaving the European Union without a deal.

This could put Johnson in a position where he’ll be required to ask the EU for a three-month extension to the Brexit deadline if he fails to reach a renegotiated transition deal.

The no-deal Brexit bill will go to the upper chamber, known as the House of Lords, and must be passed by Friday as Parliament will be suspended starting next week.
