英国议会确定脱欧日期

The British House of Commons lawmakers on Tuesday confirmed March 29, 2019 as the country's Brexit date, rejecting a House of Lords move to change the date.
 
英国下议院议员周二确定2019年3月29日为脱欧日期,否决了上议院更改日期的提议。
 
The move came as British Prime Minister Theresa May fought off a challenge to take the departure date out of her hands. 
 
Peers in the House of Lords had amended the crucial Exiting the EU legislation that would have given parliament the power to approve an exit date, removing the government's fixed date of March 29, 2019. 
 
By 326 votes to 301, the House of Commons rejected the measure, leaving the government's original timetable in place.
