MPs have passed a non-binding motion for the UK to stay in the EU's customs union after Brexit. While the government ordered its MPs to abstain on the motion put to parliament, an amendment in favour of a union has already been signed by seven lawmakers of the ruling Conservative party. With 10 other party MPs thought to be in favour, a defeat for the government is a distinct possibility during voting later this spring.
