Britain’s House of Commons has given final approval to the bill authorizing the country’s departure from the European Union, paving the way for Brexit at the end of the month.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn are likely to trade barbs over Brexit and public spending Wednesday when they face off in Parliament for the last time before a Dec. 12 general election.  

Britain is set to hold an early election on Dec. 12, after a bill authorizing the vote was passed by the House of Commons. 

Lawmakers in Britain are returning to the House of Commons following a Supreme Court ruling that Prime Minister Boris Johnson had acted illegally by suspending Parliament.

The British government has formally suspended Parliament, sending lawmakers home for five weeks amid a Brexit crisis. 

A bill that would force British Prime Minister Boris Johnson to seek a delay to the Oct. 31 Brexit deadline if no deal is reached has become law with approval by Queen Elizabeth II.

British lawmakers have rejected the government's divorce deal with the European Union for a third time, leaving the date and terms of the U.K.'s departure from the bloc uncertain.
