Boris Johnson has said he will bring his Brexit deal back to Parliament before seeking a general election on Dec. 12.



The prime minister announced that he would be tabling a motion to call an election, to be voted on by MPs on Monday.

Johnson needs a two-thirds majority in the House of Commons to call the election.

He said that if MPs back his Dec. 12 election plan, he will bring his withdrawal agreement bill back one more time beforehand.

The government will allow MPs to scrutinise the deal until Nov. 6, at which point they will dissolve Parliament.

If the bill passes by that time, Johnson will go into an election having delivered Brexit.

If the Bill is blocked by MPs or pulled by the government over a successful "wrecking amendment", the Tories will go into the election with the UK still a member of the EU.

Johnson wrote to Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn on Tuesday night saying that if he backed the election motion, the government would allow all possible time for scrutiny for the bill, including sitting at weekends, before dissolving Parliament on Nov. 6.
