The UK House of Commons has voted in favour of a government amendment to the EU Constitution Bill , averting a vote that could have scuppered the Brexit process . Speaking in the Commons, Dominic Grieve said the issue of the meaningful vote was about giving "assurances to the House and many, many people in the country who are worried about this process and how it will end". The amendment will give parliament a chance to vote on the statement given by a minister if no Brexit deal is reached . Dominic Grieve , an MP from the government benches who had threatened to lead a revolt against the proposal , eventually voted in favour of it . While fellow Labour MP Sarah Wollaston said she was " disappointed " with the outcome , Prime Minister Theresa May called it a " crucial step " in delivering change .
