The British House of Commons lawmakers on Tuesday confirmed March 29, 2019 as the country's Brexit date, rejecting a House of Lords move to change the date.

 

英国下议院议员周二确定2019年3月29日为脱欧日期，否决了上议院更改日期的提议。

 

The move came as British Prime Minister Theresa May fought off a challenge to take the departure date out of her hands. 

 

Peers in the House of Lords had amended¹ the crucial Exiting the EU legislation that would have given parliament the power to approve an exit date, removing the government's fixed² date of March 29, 2019. 

 

By 326 votes to 301, the House of Commons rejected the measure, leaving the government's original timetable in place.
