UPDATE: A bill that would allow the UK government to override the Northern Ireland Protocol passes its first hurdle in Parliament after MPs back it by 295 votes to 221
The bill began its journey through Parliament on Monday, with MPs voting to give it initial approval and allowing it to progress for further scrutiny.
Speaking in the Commons, Ms Truss argued the bill was justified because the EU had not shown enough "flexibility" during negotiations change the relevant part of the 2019 deal, known as the Northern Ireland Protocol.She told MPs that ministers expected the passing of the bill to lead to the resumption of power-sharing in Northern Ireland, which has been put on hold since May's assembly elections.
Speaking in favour of the bill during the Commons debate, he said the protocol had had a "devastating impact" on Northern Ireland. However, Ms May - who as prime minister started Brexit negotiations in 2017 before quitting in 2019 after failing to get her exit deal passed in Parliament - said the bill would fail to achieve its aims.
She said she had concluded it was "not legal", and would "diminish the standing of the United Kingdom in the eyes of the world". Earlier, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said he believed the bill on the Northern Ireland Protocol could be passed by the end of the year.
