Queen set to given Royal Assent to Brexit Bill

Queen set to Assent to Brexit Bill

After several weeks of debate on the floors House of Commons and House of Lords, after the end of the various legal tussle between the government and concerned citizens. Her Majesty the Queen is now going to give the Royal Assent for the UK to official kick-start the exit process from the EU.

Once the bill otherwise known as the European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill, becomes law, it will empower the PM to trigger Article 50 that will official start the exit deal with the other 7 EU member states

According to sources from the government, it is probable that the monarch’s Royal Assent may be signed at about 11am
Government sources say Royal Assent is likely to be granted at around 11am.

Such a bill has never been rejected by the monarch since 1707 apart from when Queen Anne refused it for a Bill for settling the militia in Scotland.

The bill's passing into law follows a difficult day for the Government in which ministers were accused of "driving towards a cliff-edge with a blindfold on".

Surprisingly, Brexit Secretary David Davis has been made to accept the fact that the office he heads is yet to make an assessment of the economic consequences of a failed Brexit deal with the EU.


His admission was despite the Prime Minister repeatedly saying she thinks no deal is better than a bad deal.
