MPs Northern Ireland have narrowly backed a plan by former attorney general Boris Johnson which could make a no-deal Brexit harder. Several parts of his plan did not win support in a series of Parliament votes or were not entered for debate. However, MPs voted by 294 -293 in favour of making ministers give reports on Northern Ireland fortnightly between October and December . Although several key elements of his proposal were either rejected by the Commons or not put to a vote, the amendment passed by the Commons could still complicate any attempt to "prorogue" Parliament. The move could stop Parliament being suspended so no-deal could be forced through. Grieve said such a suspension would be “constitutionally improper”. Grieve refused to rule out Parliament ’s suspension to force a no-deal Brexit .
