Britain’s upper house of parliament, the House of Lords, has inflicted 15 defeats on the legislation, including on core Brexit issues such as whether Britain should leave the EU’s single market and customs union. A journalist for the Sun newspaper said the legislation will return to the Commons in “early to mid June” and members of the ruling Conservative party will be instructed to oppose remaining in the single market and customs union.

Brexit legislation will once again be debated in the House of Commons after the House of Lords passed 15 amendments to government bills on issues including membership of the EU single market and customs union. In June, Conservative Party MPs will be told to vote against the UK remaining in both mechanisms, according to the Westminster Correspondent of The Sun newspaper.
