Pm may must set out brexit plan by mid feb to allow scrutiny uk lawmakers

According to recent reports, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been urged by the Speaker of the House of Commons, Sir Lindsay Hoyle, to set out a detailed plan for the UK's withdrawal from the European Union (Brexit) by mid-February to allow for proper scrutiny by UK lawmakers.

The Speaker's request comes as the UK is set to leave the EU's transition period on December 31, 2020, and the government is under pressure to provide clarity on its plans for the future relationship with the EU.

In a letter to the Prime Minister, Sir Lindsay Hoyle wrote: "It is essential that the House has sufficient time to scrutinize and debate the Government's plans for the UK's future relationship with the EU, and that the necessary legislation is in place to ensure a smooth transition."

The Speaker's request is seen as a significant development, as it highlights the importance of parliamentary scrutiny in the Brexit process. The UK Parliament has been criticized in the past for being left out of key decisions on Brexit, and the Speaker's call for a detailed plan by mid-February is seen as a way to ensure that lawmakers have a greater say in the process.

The UK government has so far been tight-lipped about its plans for Brexit, with many details still to be finalized. However, the Prime Minister has indicated that he plans to introduce a new bill to Parliament in the coming weeks, which will set out the government's plans for the UK's future relationship with the EU.

It remains to be seen whether the Prime Minister will comply with the Speaker's request, but the pressure is mounting on the government to provide greater transparency and accountability in the Brexit process.
