NEW YORK, Oct 22 (Reuters) - The British pound fell against
the dollar and the euro after UK lawmakers on Tuesday rejected
the government's proposed timetable for passing legislation to
ratify its Brexit deal.
Against the dollar, the pound GBP= was last down 0.40% to
$1.281, off the 5-1/2 month highs hit earlier in the session on
optimism about the deal. Against the euro, the pound EURGBP=
was last down 0.24%, to 0.862.
The vote leaves Prime Minister Boris Johnson's vow to leave
the European Union by the end of the month in doubt.
