UKIP councillors and members have received telephone calls, apparently from campaign group Leave.EU, asking whether they would support a new party, a senior figure in Hampshire has said.

Councillor Chris Wood, leader of UKIP groups on Hampshire County Council and Fareham Borough Council, said he was contacted by the organisation.

The prospective parliamentary candidate for Gosport in 2015 told the BBC: "There has been talk of members receiving phone calls, which included a question about a new party being set up. I don't think members would support that.

"I received one of those phone calls and reminded them I was the leader on the county council group and at that point they thought 'ah, probably not then'."

Other party members in Hampshire and Dorset have received similar phone calls in the last three weeks, apparently from the organisation which was founded by Arron Banks.

Former Conservative minister Anna Soubry asks what assurances the PM can give over customs duties and tariffs post-Brexit.

Mrs May replies that Britain wants the right deal in goods and services with the EU.

She is looking at "what is the deal we want for the future", she adds.

Labour's Yvette Cooper, once Theresa May's opposite number at the Home Office, presses the prime minister, saying: "It would be useful to know what she values and what her aims are," with particular reference to the single market.

Theresa May tells her: "I have answered this question on a number of occasions."

Lib Dem leader Tim Farron  urged the PM to say that Britain will remain a member of the single market and called for any deal she negotiates to be put to the people in a referendum.

Mrs May says Britain is not able to put into practice trade deals with other countries until it leaves the EU.

"As long as we are full members of the EU we will be advocates for free trade," she says.

In response, Theresa May says voters who supported Brexit wanted control over the numbers of people entering the UK.

She says a points-based system would allow people who meet the criteria to be allowed in - and the government would not have control over the numbers.

Angus Robertson, the SNP's Westminster leader, presses the prime minister again to say if she wants the UK to be a full member of the European single market.

"Can you tell us how many trade negotiators you have hired since the European referendum?" he asks.

He says voters were promised that if they voted Leave the NHS would receive an extra £350m a week and he asked if this is being broken.

Conservative Sir Bill Cash, chairman of the European Scrutiny Committee, urged the prime minister to continue her pursuit of free trade to ensure the EU and European Commission no longer runs Britain's trade policy.

Mrs May replies that she wants to be "ambitious" with future trade deals.

"Of course we can't formally have those deals in place and operating until we leave the European Union," she said, but Britain can start the preparations.

Replying to the Labour leader, Theresa May says Brexit will involve Britain having "a new relationship" with the EU.

She says the government wants a good deal and doesn't want to give away its hand, which is why she will not be giving a running commentary on negotations.

But she says the new deal will include controls over the right to move  from the EU into UK, and the right deal on goods and services.

She adds that free trade has underpinned the future prospects of the UK.

On Saudi Arabia, she said what matters is the strength of our relationship with that country on terrorism, which she says is helping keep people safe on the streets of Britain.

The human cost of the refugee crisis, including thousands drowning in the Mediterranean Sea, must be the number one concern, says Jeremy Corbyn.

He also says the British government continues to sell arms to Saudi Arabia, which are being used against Yemen and he urges Theresa May to call a halt to this practice.

In response to the prime minister's statement, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn accuses her government of giving mixed messages over Brexit.

He urges Mrs May to tell MPs what the government's position on Brexit really is.

Mr Corbyn says it's been 40 years since Britain has had to engage in bi-lateral trade negotiations.

"We need a UK trade agenda that protects people and the environment," he says.

"We need a trade policy that values human rights and human dignity."

Theresa May tells MPs she emphasised the importance of "an economy that works for all".

Chinese President Xi told world leaders the global economy was at a "crucial juncture" due to volatile markets and feeble trade.

The Brexit process has also had a prominent place in discussions, with Japan warning of "drastic changes" after Brexit and advising potentially "harmful effects" must be minimised.

Mrs May has insisted that the UK can prosper outside the EU and become a "global leader in free trade".

Returning to the G20 summit, Theresa May says Britain will seek to become the global leader in free trade and will not retreat to protectionism.

She said Britain is creating a proper industrial strategy to improve jobs and prosperity, with a crackdown on corporate pay.

The mission of the G20 was to ensure "the economy works for everyone".

Theresa May is beginning a statement on the G20 summit urging people to look at Britain's Brexit negotiations in a "sober and considered way".

She says it is not about looking at the Norwegian model or other models, "it's about developing our own British model".

"We'll not take decisions until we are ready, we will not reveal our hand prematurely and we will not provide a running commentary on every twist and turn," she said.

"We'll maximise and seize the opportunities that Brexit presents."

The UK's banks say they have not decided whether to move operations outside of the UK after Brexit, a top banker has said.
