BBC | EU withdrawal bill clears final parliamentary hurdle
Earlier, MPs overwhelmingly rejected all five changes - including on child refugees - made by peers to the bill. It then returned to the Lords where peers backed down, despite some anger at their voices being "dismissed".
[...]
A total of five amendments to the bill were sent to MPs for consideration from the Lords, including on [1] EU citizens' rights, [2] the power of UK courts to diverge from EU law and [3] the independence of the judiciary after Brexit.

Another, the so-called [4] Dubs amendment - which reinstated a guarantee that unaccompanied refugee children could continue to join relatives in the UK after Brexit - was also demanded by peers.

A fifth amendment called for the bill to be changed to take note of the [5] Sewel Convention, which states that Parliament should not legislate on devolved issues without the consent of the Scottish Parliament, the Welsh Assembly and the Stormont Assembly in Northern Ireland.
