UK's Conservatives get 'free vote' for hard Brexit proposal amid uncertainty

Lawmakers from Britain's governing Conservatives will be allowed to vote according to their conscience rather than along party lines on a proposal for a managed 'no deal' Brexit on Wednesday, Prime Minister Theresa May's spokesman said.

However, the spokesman said Conservatives would not be given a so-called free vote on another proposal, put forward by Conservative lawmaker Caroline Spelman, which seeks to rule out a 'no deal' Brexit in any circumstance.
