  The majority of MPs voted against a transition period of at least two years for the transition to a domestic nuclear regulatory regime from the framework provided via the European Atomic Energy Community ("Euratom").
  
  MPs were considering the Nuclear Safeguards Bill[1][2]. 
  
  The proposed new clause rejected in this vote was titled: "Transition period" and stated:
  
  :â(1) The Secretary of State shall, upon laying any statement under subsection (3A) of section 76A of the Energy Act 2013, seek to secure a transition period prior to the implementation of withdrawal from EURATOM of not less than two years.
  
  :(2) During a transition period under subsection (1), anyâ
  
  :(a) conditions under which the UK is a member of EURATOM before exit day shall continue to apply;
  
  :(b) obligations upon the UK which derive from membership of EURATOM before exit day shall continue to apply;
  
  :(c) structures for UK participation in EURATOM that are in place before exit day shall be maintained; and
  
  :(d) financial commitment to EURATOM made by the UK during the course of UK membership of EURATOM before exit day shall be honoured.â
  
  ==
  
  This new clause would aim to put in place a transition period, during which the UK could seek to secure an association to EURATOM
