Point of Order
House of Commons
Parliament
Theresa May says it is clear MPs do not support the deal.
However, she says that "tonight's vote tells us nothing about what it does support, nothing about how or even if it intends to honour the decision that people took in a referendum".
"EU citizens here and UK citizens in the EU deserve clarity as soon as possible," she says, as do businesses and ordinary people.
The focus now is confirming whether the government still has Parliament's confidence, she says, and the government will make time tomorrow to debate a no confidence motion if one is tabled by the Labour party.

However he tells BBC Politics Live: "This deal is so bad I'd rather take that risk".
