  The majority of MPs voted for a little extra flexibility surrounding the moving of a motion in the House of Commons on a seeking delay to the UK leaving the EU. 
  
  The majority of MPs voted to allow any minister, rather than just the Prime Minister, to move a motion on if to seek to delay the United Kingdom leaving the European Union; and to allow the motion to be put either on the day after the Act receives Royal Assent or on the day after that. 
  
  MPs were considering the European Union (Withdrawal) (No. 5) Bill[1]. 
  
  The motion supported by the majority of MPs in this vote was:

  (Withdrawal) Act 2019] to the Prime Minister seeking an extension of the period specified in [https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A12012M050 Article 50(3) of the Treaty on European Union] to a period ending
  on [â¦]â

  :Page 1, line 2, leave out âthe Prime Ministerâ and insert âa Minister of the Crownâ
  
  This amendment also impacted clause 1(1) of the Bill and permitted any Minister to move the motion set out in clause 1(2).
