The bill, if passed, will give Prime Minister Theresa May the authorisation to trigger Article 50 — the process by which Britain leaves the 28-member bloc and the two-year negotiation period starts.
The bill, titled the "European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Act
2017," contains just two clauses.
The first part states:
"The Prime Minister may notify, under Article 50(2) of the Treaty on European Union, the United Kingdom’s intention to withdraw from the EU."
The second clause adds:
"this section has effect despite any provision made by or under the European Communities Act 1972 or any other enactment."
MPs will get the chance to vote on the bill next Wednesday.
