Whether the British government's divorce deal with the European Union will be approved by the UK Parliament is still pending as British lawmakers took a 17-day recess.

The United Kingdom is due to leave the EU on March 29, but the only thing that is certain about the Brexit deal is uncertainty.

Prime Minister Theresa May has struck a withdrawal agreement with Brussels, but was forced to postpone a parliamentary vote on the deal earlier to avert almost certain defeat.

The vote was then rescheduled for the week of Jan 14, but opposition remains strong across the political spectrum as leaving has raised many doubts.
