The European Parliament, which has to ratify the Brexit deal for it to come into effect, will not be debating it until February or March. Why, then, is the British Parliament voting on it on Wednesday of this week, less than a week after it had been concluded?
A procedural device, such as an amendment to the Government's motion, needs to be deployed, ideally to ensure that the House of Commons would not consider this until all other bodies that needed to approve it had done so.
