United Kingdom moved a step closer to a final separation from the European Union as members of the parliament voted overwhelmingly in the favour of allowing the government to begin from Brexit negotiations.

Yesterday, members of the House of Commons voted yesterday by 498 to 114 to advance the bill that would give PM Theresa May the authority to invoke Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty. Which is the formal process of leaving the European Union?

The bill will now face further scrutiny in the house of Common and the House of Lords before it can become law.

Earlier, PM May confirmed that she will publish a White Paper on her Brexit strategy.

PM May told to the House of Commons that she can inform her Right Hon Friend and the House that the White Paper will be published tomorrow. In a response to a query by Conservative MP Maria Miller

The White Paper will reflect the plan that has already set out by PM May in her Brexit speech.

A  Downing Street spokesperson told reporters at a briefing that “The White Paper will reflect the plan already set out by the Prime Minister in her Brexit speech."

The confirmation for White Paper came as MPs continued a second day debate on the Brexit Bill, which gave PM May the authority to invoke Article 50 and trigger the official Brexit negotiations with the European Union.

Despite the Liberal Democrats and Scottish National Party are voting against the bill the government was expected to win.

The Labour Jeremy Corbyn had issued a three line whip, which is a string disciplinary order to his MPs to back the Brexit bill.

However Indian-origin Labour MP Virendra Sharma along with many Labour MPs had already indicated that they would defy that whip.

A total of Ninety MPs are going to oppose the bill that is not enough to stop PM Theresa May moving a step closer to work towards Article 50 by the end of March.

The opposition party will support the final vote on the Brexit bill, but they will try to amend it, including calling for a "meaningful vote" on the final Brexit deal.

The Brexit bill will now return to the House of Commons next week for the committee stage, when Opposition parties will try to push through these amendments.

The bill was tabled last week after the Supreme Court ruled that MPs and peers must have a say before Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty could be triggered.

It rejected the UK government's argument that PM May had sufficient executive powers to trigger Brexit without consulting the Parliament.
