British lawmakers will be able to veto the Brexit agreement currently being negotiated between Britain and the EU, the government announced on Monday, Nov. 13.

The newly announced bill, called the Withdrawal Agreement and Implementation Bill, means parliament will be given a binding vote on any deal with the EU, which must be struck before the deadline of March 29, 2019.
