The statement issued by Downing Street said Ms. May’s successor will take this latest development into account when forming a new government. It comes after Members of Parliament voted 273 to 315 to accept a House of Lords amendment intended to prevent a no-deal Brexit by stopping a future Prime Minister suspending Parliament.
