The bill passed the House of Lords without any supplement, which means it does not need to be re-examined by the lower house. Instead, it will become law when the queen formally approves it, which is likely to happen on Monday according to The Guardian.

The proposal means that the United Kingdom cannot leave the Union on 31 October without a withdrawal agreement approved in Parliament, forcing Johnson to ask the EU for a three-month extension.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson believes this is sabotaging negotiations with the EU and he has said he does not intend to delay Brexit. Earlier this week, Johnson failed to get Parliament to approve a proposal for re-election in the country, which requires two-thirds of its members to vote.
