LONDON—British lawmakers voted overwhelmingly on March 14 to seek a delay in Britain’s exit from the European Union, setting the stage for Prime Minister Theresa May to renew efforts to get her divorce deal approved by Parliament next week.
Lawmakers approved, by a 412–202 vote, a statement setting out the option to request a short delay if a Brexit deal can be agreed to by March 20—or a longer delay if no deal can be reached in time.
