  MPs were considering the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill[1].
  
  The motion supported by the majority of MPs in this vote was:
  
  :That this House disagrees with Lords amendment 37
  
  Lords amendment 37[2] stated:
  
  :Page 10, line 40, leave out from âmeansâ to end of line 41 and insert âsuch day as a Minister of the Crown may by regulations appoint (and see subsection (2))
  
  
  The Lords amendment sought to amend the definition of "exit day" in Clause 14 of the Bill[3] which stated:
  
  :âexit dayâ means 29 March 2019 at 11.00 p.m. (and see subsections (2) to (5));
  
  Subsections 2-5 stated:
  
  :(2) In this Act references to before, after or on exit day, or to beginning with exit day, are to be read as references to before, after or at 11.00 p.m. on 29 March 2019 or (as the case may be) to beginning with 11.00 p.m. on that day.
  
  :(3) Subsection (4) applies if the day or time on or at which the Treaties are to cease to apply to the United Kingdom in accordance with Article 50(3) of the Treaty on European Union is different from that specified in the definition of âexit dayâ in subsection (1).
  :(4) A Minister of the Crown may by regulationsâ
  :(a) amend the definition of âexit dayâ in subsection (1) to ensure that the day and time specified in the definition are the day and time that the Treaties are to cease to apply to the United Kingdom, and 
  :(b) amend subsection (2) in consequence of any such amendment.
  :(5) In subsections (3) and (4) âthe Treatiesâ means the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
