London: House of Commons Speaker John Bercow on Monday refused a government request to hold a 'yes' or 'no' vote on its Brexit deal. Bercow said a motion on the deal had already been brought before MPs on Saturday, and it would be "repetitive and disorderly" to debate it again, the BBC reported.

Saturday's sitting saw an amended motion nodded through by MPs, withholding approval of Prime Minister Boris Johnson's deal until it has been passed into law. Johnson's spokesman said he was "disappointed" by the decision.
