Parliament has passed the European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill, with both House of Lords amendments removed. Once given Royal Assent by HM The Queen, it will allow the government to trigger Article 50 in time for the Prime Minister’s own end-of-March deadline and begin the official two-year process of our exit from the Union.

The Lords’ Amendment
My attention was caught by a sidelined comment at Prime Minister’s Questions last week. Focusing on the announced changes to Personal Independence Payment in light of a recent court decision, the Leader of the Opposition claimed it was his party that introduced parity between mental and physical health in the NHS, and suggested the Prime Minister offer her thanks for their doing so.
