  @ MP voted aye to make the UK's withdrawal from the EU conditional on setting, as an objective for the UK's negotiation of the withdrawal agreement, full access to the internal market of the EU.
  @ MP voted no against making the UK's withdrawal from the EU conditional on setting, as an objective for the UK's negotiation of the withdrawal agreement, full access to the internal market of the EU.
  
  
  The majority of MPs voted against making the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union conditional on setting, as an objective for the United Kingdom's negotiation of the withdrawal agreement, full access to the internal market of the European Union, underpinned by shared institutions and regulations, with no new impediments to trade and common rights, standards and protections as a minimum. 
  
  MPs were considering the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill[1].
  
  The motion rejected by the majority of MPs in this vote was:
  
  :That amendment (a) to Lords amendment 51 be made.
  
  Lords amendment 51[2] stated:
  
  :Page 15, line 21, at end insertâ
  :â(2B)    But none of the remaining provisions may come into force until it is a negotiating objective of the Government to ensure that an international agreement has been made which enables the United Kingdom to continue to participate in the European Economic Area after exit day.
  :(2C)    Regulations under this Act may not repeal or amend subsection (2B).â
  
  amendment (a) to that amendment[3] stated:
  
  :Line  3,  leave out âan international agreement has been made which enables the United Kingdom to continue to participate in the European Economic Area after exit dayâ and insert âthe United Kingdom has full access to the internal market of the European Union, underpinned by shared institutions and regulations, with no new impediments to trade and common rights, standards and protections as a minimum.â
  
  The explanatory notes to the Lords amendments to the Bill[4] stated, in respect of the original amendment:
  
  :Lords Amendment 51 would prevent the Minister from commencing aspects of the Bill until it is a negotiating objective of the Government to ensure that an international agreement has been made which enables the United Kingdom to continue to participate in the European Economic Area after exit day.
  
  The amendments relate to Clause 19 of the Bill[5] which provided for certain sections of the Bill to come into force as soon as it became an Act, and empowered ministers to set the commencement data of other provisions, including the key operative Clause 1[6], which would withdraw the United Kingdom from the European Union by repealing the [https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1972/68/contents European Communities Act 1972] which implemented the treaties of the European Union in United Kingdom law.
