British parliament to hold vote on withdrawal deal on Friday

LONDON, March 28 (Xinhua) -- British lawmakers will hold a vote on the withdrawal agreement on Friday in a fresh effort to break the current Brexit deadlock.

The British House of Commons will hold the vote on Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit deal, which has been voted down twice by the parliament since January.

The British government is seeking to hold the vote on Brexit on Friday.

The speaker of the House of Commons, John Bescow, said Thursday in the parliament that the motion is "new and substantially" different while he was clearing the motion for debate and vote on Friday.
