(Bloomberg) — The U.K. Parliament seized control of the Brexit process from Prime Minister Theresa May and will now seek to decide how Britain exits the European Union. Pressure on BrexitersHealth Secretary Matt Hancock told the BBC it’s now “very clear” that politicians who want to deliver on the Brexit referendum result must back the prime minister’s deal. While Parliament was forcing its way into the driving seat, those who were supposed to be controlling the process remained passive. Neither was there a decision about whether to try to put the prime minister’s deal to Parliament again. Although the exact format hasn’t been agreed, it is likely to mean lawmakers voting on a series of Brexit options on a piece of paper.
