The Lords' demanded protections for the rights of EU citizens living in the UK, and a written guarantee that Parliament will have a "meaningful vote" on the final terms of the UK's departure.

Parliament involvement Writing in the Mail on Sunday, Conservatives Alistair Burt and Jeremy Lefroy said Parliament should have a proper role in the government's exit plans - and should still get a vote even if no deal is reached with the EU.
Conservatives Alistair Burt and Jeremy Lefroy have said Parliament should have a proper role in the government's plans for Brexit negotiations. "Just because the consequences of a vote at the end of the process are immense, there is no reason to deny Parliament that vote," they added.
Writing in the Mail on Sunday, they said there was "determination" by ministers to be involved in talks whether an agreement is reached at the end of the two year-process or not.
"There is an absolute logic that Parliament should be given a say in both circumstances but the government has been reluctant to agree to a vote in the case of no deal, arguing it would hamper negotiations.
"But if the UK's stance is not weakened by having to seek a vote on a final deal, why should the government fear a vote on 'no deal'?
