    Quick Summary

    Keir Starmer's welfare reform bill progresses after defeating a parliamentary amendment aimed at halting it, with a decisive 328 to 149 vote.

    UK's Starmer defeats wrecking amendment on welfare reform

    LONDON (Reuters) -British Prime Minister Keir Starmer cleared the first hurdle in his quest to reform the welfare system on Tuesday, when lawmakers opposed to the proposed law failed to halt its progress with a so-called "reasoned amendment".

    Several lawmakers tabled a "reasoned amendment," used to express opposition to a proposed law, to the welfare reforms, which if it had passed would have halted the bill. The attempt failed with 328 to 149 lawmakers voting against the amendment.

    Lawmakers will immediately hold another vote on whether or not to progress the bill to the next stages of the parliamentary process. If the government also wins that vote, those next stages are scheduled for July 9.
