LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's upper house of parliament inflicted a second defeat on Prime Minister Theresa May's government on Tuesday, challenging her decision to fix the official date of the country's departure from the European Union.
The House of Lords voted 311 to 233 in favour of the amendment to the government's key Brexit blueprint that will sever political, financial and legal ties with the EU.
