  3. PM: Time can be allocated to debate no confidence motionpublished at 19:44 Greenwich Mean Time 15 January 2019

    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.
