MPs to vote on Boris Johnson's Brexit deal
in October, was introduced in Thursday's Queen's Speech, setting out the government's priorities for the next year.
MPs have been given a further three days - 7, 8 and 9 January - to continue their debate in the Commons.There are changes to the previous bill, which was backed by the Commons in October, but withdrawn by the government after MPs rejected a three-day deadline for getting it through Parliament.
The government now says it will deal with this issue in a separate piece of legislation, but the TUC has warned that the change will help"drive down" working conditions.The Queen outlined the government's agenda at Thursday's State Opening of Parliament He said:"We understand that people are desperate to move on. That does not mean we will just accept the prime minister's reckless approach on how it's done."
But Mr Johnson's general election result, giving him a comfortable majority in the Commons, means it should be far easier to get his version ratified.
