UK lawmakers vote against Labor customs union amendment

LONDON, Feb. 27 (Xinhua) -- The British House of Commons on Wednesday voted against Labor's Brexit amendment which would see the country joining a customs union with the European Union (EU) after Brexit.

The amendment was defeated by 323 to 240.

Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn had said his party will back another EU referendum if the amendment was vetoed.

The latest move came one day after British Prime Minister Theresa May had promised MPs a meaningful vote on her deal with the EU by March 12.

If her plan is defeated, then MPs will get votes on delaying Brexit and ruling out no-deal.
