Tory Rebels Warn David Davis They Are 'Deadly Serious' About Changing Theresa May's Brexit Plans

David Davis has been warned by senior Tories that they are “deadly serious” about pushing the Government into enshrining Britain’s Brexit deal in law.

Ex-cabinet minister Nicky Morgan told Brexit Secretary Mr Davis that Conservative rebels would not ease pressure on the Government to make the concession.

The plan to force the Government to pass a further major piece of Brexit legislation was proposed by senior Tory Dominic Grieve, but was also supported on Thursday but Labour’s Keir Starmer.

It comes as the Government confirmed its current piece of Brexit legislation, the EU (withdrawal) Bill will finally come before the House of Commons again in three weeks after MPs from all parties made 400 attempts to change it.
Mr Davis was appearing in the Commons after sparking anger on Wednesday by saying MPs may not vote on any Brexit deal until after the UK has left the EU, he was later forced into a retraction when Downing Street intervened to prevent a bigger row.
