UK lawmakers narrowly approve PM’s non-Brexit legislative program
The UK parliament narrowly approves Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s annual legislative program, delivering his minority government a symbolic win as he pushed for a snap general election.
Parliament’s lower House of Commons approves the proposal, which does not directly deal with the Brexit crisis, by 310 to 294 votes.
Moments earlier, Johnson proposed giving MPs more time to scrutinize his Brexit accord with the European Union if they agreed to hold an early general election on December 12.
