MPs have rejected a Lords amendment to the Brexit Withdrawal Bill which backed calls to give reassurance to Scotland and Wales on devolution powers.

Peers had narrowly backed a move underlining the commitment to the so-called Sewel Convention, which states that the UK Parliament "will not normally" legislate for devolved matters without the consent of the devolved legislature affected.

It came after the Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly voted to withhold consent from the Brexit Withdrawal Bill.

However, MPs have today voted by 349 votes to 246 – a majority 103 – to reject the amendment.

The Commons reversed five changes in total made by the Lords to the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Bill as the legislation entered the phase where it moves between the two Houses until agreement is reached.

Peers had defeated the Government on the rights of EU workers legally residing in the UK to have physical proof of their right to remain and the power of courts to depart from European Court of Justice rulings.

They also backed a move to ensure the rights of unaccompanied child refugees to be reunited with their families in the UK post-Brexit, and a proposal underlining the commitment to the so-called Sewel Convention, which states that the UK Parliament "will not normally" legislate for devolved matters without the consent of the devolved legislature affected.

But all five amendments were comfortably reversed by MPs, with majorities ranging from 86 to 103.

With Brexit day looming on January 31, the Bill, which was passed with large majorities by MPs earlier this month, remains on course thanks to the Prime Minister's 80-strong majority.

It is now up to peers to decide whether to prolong the parliamentary ping-pong.
