esa 18weeks still no decision

Is it not now the case (since the overturn in the Lords this evening) that people who are currently worried about the 365 days rule can relax for a further 365 days?! Or have I misinterpreted the ruling? I took it to mean the time limit will be extended by a year to two years. Hope that's right

Eventually, the Commons can force legislation through the Lords as they want it worded, and there is still time for this to be done before April.
