The legislation will continue its Committee Stage reading this afternoon ahead of the next round of formal talks between the UK and EU next week. The bill sparked controversy on the continent following its introduction to the Commons earlier this month. However, Mr Johnson agreed a deal with Tory rebels in order to stop a potential revolt. The compromise means MPs will be given a vote on when to use the powers within the UK Internal Market Bill.
UK and EU officials will hold informal talks later this week as the two sides attempt to agree a deal.
If the legislation passes, some EU officials have threatened to take legal action against the UK.
One EU diplomatic source told Express.co.uk: "What we have discussed amongst ourselves is that we will take a look at the end of September, early October, to see what the options are.
"The next negotiating round on September 27 is quite an important one because we really need to get an indication that progress is being made on two fronts [trade talks and the UK Internal Market Bill].
"And if not, then we will carefully consider our options.”
