It was a full house for our East Midlands MPs for Prime Minister's Questions.
Conservative MP for South Leicestershire, Alberto Costa, has asked Theresa May if, in the event of a no-deal Brexit, she will get a multilateral agreement on UK and EU citizens' rights
The PM said they will remain on "broadly" the same terms as now.
Labour MP for South Nottingham, Lilian Greenwood, said, of almost 1,000 people who were asked in her constituency, only 7% backed the PM's Brexit deal and 75% want another vote if MPs can’t agree a deal.
Broxtowe MP Anna Soubry overcame heckles to say no responsible Tory Prime Minister would be so reckless as to leave without a deal.
