An online petition that calls for a second EU referendum will be debated in UK Parliament after it was signed by more than 4.1 million people.
The Petitions Committee said the debate would be on 5 September as a "huge number" had signed it, according to the (BBC).
But the committee said the debate did not mean it was supporting the call for a second referendum and it was "too late" to change the referendum rules.
The UK voted to leave the EU by 52% to 48% in the referendum on 23 June.
In a statement, the House of Commons Petitions Committee said a debate on the petition would allow MPs to "put forward a range of views on behalf of their constituents" and a government minister would respond to the points raised.
