British MPs approve Bill to start Brexit
Prime Minister Theresa May won approval from parliament's lower chamber to trigger Britain's exit from the European Union, defeating attempts by pro-EU lawmakers to attach extra conditions to her plan to start divorce talks by March 31.
Lawmakers voted 494 to 122 in favour of legislation giving May the right to trigger Brexit, ending days of intense debate.
The Bill now needs the approval of the upper chamber, in which May does not have a majority, before it becomes law.
The victory marks a significant step towards starting what is expected to be a complex and difficult two-year negotiation with the EU on issues such as trade, immigration and security that will redraw Britain's role in the world.
