The agreement was voted down overwhelmingly by parliament in January but the government is hoping that the looming 29 March Brexit deadline will persuade many MPs to change their minds.

LONDON - British MPs will vote on a draft Brexit deal on Tuesday aimed at ensuring a smooth exit from the European Union to be followed by a transition period that could last until 2022.

The other main points in the agreement are the protection of citizens' rights and Britain's final bill to the EU.A transition period lasting until 31 December 2020 would preserve the status quo and allow time for Britain and the EU to negotiate their future relations.The only major difference during that period is that Britain would no longer be represented in the EU institutions.

Under the arrangement, Britain and the EU would form a single customs territory and Northern Ireland would also follow EU single market rules on the movement of goods to allow the border to remain free-flowing.At any point after the transition period, the EU or Britain can decide that the arrangement is no longer necessary, but they must take the decision together.

It covers all such citizens who arrive before the transition period ends. They will maintain their right to healthcare, pensions and other social security benefits.
