  @ MP voted no against preventing any delay to the United Kingdom withdrawing the European Union continuing beyond the 30th of June 2019.
  
  The majority of MPs against preventing any delay to the United Kingdom withdrawing the European Union continuing beyond the 30th of June 2019.
  
  MPs were considering a motion stating:
  
  :That this House:
  
  :(1) notes the resolutions of the House of [https://www.theyworkforyou.com/debates/?id=2019-03-12b.207.3 12] and [https://www.theyworkforyou.com/debates/?id=2019-03-13b.383.0 13 March], and accordingly agrees that the Government will seek to agree with the European Union an extension of the period specified in [https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A12012M050 Article 50(3)];
  
  :(2) agrees that, if the House has passed a resolution approving the negotiated withdrawal agreement and the framework for the future relationship for the purposes of [https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2018/16/section/13 section 13(1)(b) of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018] by 20 March 2019, then the Government will seek to agree with the European Union a one-off extension of the period specified in Article 50(3) for a period ending on 30 June 2019 for the purpose of passing the necessary EU exit legislation;
  and
  
  :(3) notes that, if the House has not passed a resolution approving the negotiated withdrawal agreement and the framework for the future relationship for the purposes of section 13(1)(b) of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 by 20 March 2019, then it is highly likely that the European Council at its meeting the following day would require a clear purpose for any extension, not least to determine its length, and that any extension beyond 30 June 2019 would require the United Kingdom to hold European Parliament elections in May 2019.
  
  an amendment under consideration stated:
  
  :(i), leave out from âArticle 50 (3)â to end and add
  
  :âto enable the House of Commons to find a way forward that can command majority support;
  
  :2. orders accordingly that on Wednesday 20 Marchâ
  
  :(a) [https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201719/cmstords/1020/body.html#_idTextAnchor076 Standing Order No. 14(1)] (which provides that government business shall have precedence at every sitting save as provided in that order) shall not apply;
  
  :(b) precedence shall be given to the motion specified in paragraph 3;
  
  :(c) the Speaker shall interrupt proceedings on any business before the motion specified in paragraph 3 at 1.30 pm and call a Member to move that motion;
  
  :(d) debate on that motion may continue until 7.00 pm at which time the Speaker shall put the questions necessary to dispose of proceedings on that motion including the questions on amendments selected by the Speaker which may then be moved;
  
  :(e) any proceedings interrupted or superseded by this order may be resumed or (as the case may be) entered upon and proceeded with after the moment of interruption; and
  
  :3. the motion specified in this paragraph is a motion in the name of at least 25 Members, including at least five Members elected to the House as members of at least five different parties, relating to the Business of the House on a future day or days in connection with matters relating to the United Kingdomâs withdrawal from the European Union.â
  
  
  The amendment to the amendment rejected in this vote was:
  
  :before
  :âto enable the House of Commonsâ
  :add
  :âfor a period ending on 30 June 2019
  
  
  The exit day had been set as 29 March 2019 at 11.00 p.m. by the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018[1].
