Sticking to the subject of this morning's high court ruling Conservative Alsitair Burt urges the government not to feel "disappointed".

Instead he urges them to welcome the operation of the British rule of law - "I thought that was what the referendum was about".

He says this morning's decision is "nothing to be afraid of".

David Lidington replies that the case involves important constitutional matters and that it is therefore "right and inevitable" that the case ends up in the Supreme Court.

Questions are over and debate begins on Lord Soley's motion "that this House takes note of the potential impact of the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union on funding for universities and scientific research".

The Labour peer says Parliament has a duty "to hold the government to account" and to advise over Brexit.

Turning to research and higher education, he argues that "research is international and, within the European Union, it is transnational".

He says the Russell Group of UK universities has said it is concerned that it should be able to "continue to recruit talented staff and students" from the EU "without bureaucratic visa restrictions".

Lord Soley adds that the UK is the second-largest recipient of EU research grants, after Germany.

Conservative Ken Clarke asks the Leader of the House for assurances that the government's appeal against today's High Court ruling doesn't mean it believes it is unaccountable to Parliament. 

He adds that planned Brexit debates have such a short time limit many backbench members will find themselves with as little as three minutes to speak. He asks for the House to be given more time for debates over Brexit issues.

Leader of the House David Lidington says he's surprised at Mr Clarke's "appetite for all night sittings" which he doesn't think will lead to "mature debate". 

He adds that he's "sure" that there will be "plenty of opportunities" for debate but that the House voted "overwhelmingly" for the people to have the final say on Brexit.

Speaker John Bercow says he'll be in the chair "whatever hours the House wants to sit".

Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson prompts laughter by predicting a "Titanic success" of Brexit.

Jonathan Isaby, editor of Brexit Central - a project to hold the government to account in honouring its pledge that 'Brexit means Brexit' - accused the team who brought the High Court case of trying to tie the legal process up in knots.

He said the case involved people who've got more money than they know what to do with.

And he claimed they were playing legal games to frustrate the will of the British people in a bid to delay Brexit.

Wales First Minister Carwyn Jones says it is a mistake for the government to appeal against the High Court ruling - and repeated his view that the devolved administrations should also get a vote on Mrs May's Brexit negotiating position.

"The position of the Welsh Government has been consistent throughout - we accept the decision made by the people and will not work against the referendum result," he said.

"We are working hard to get the best possible exit terms for Wales. However, it is important that votes take place in all four nations to endorse the UK negotiating position." 

Responding to Thursday's High Court ruling, the prime minister's official spokesman said the government has "no intention of letting this derail Article 50 or the timetable we have set out. We are determined to continue with our plan." 

The spokesman added that the prime minister has full confidence in the attorney general.

The High Court ruling allowing Parliament a vote on the process of leaving the EU could be the start of a "deliberate wilful attempt" to "betray voters", Nigel Farage says.

The UKIP leader said the decision could be the start of an attempt to “water-down what people had voted for”.

Mr Farage added he believed if the vote was put to Parliament, the government “would lose”.

Commons leader David Lidington says the government will make a statement to MPs about the High Court ruling on Brexit on Monday.

During business questions, he said: "I can confirm to the House that it is the government's intention to appeal against today's judgment from the High Court.

"We are, as the House is aware, in a situation where we have this judgment today and a very little while ago a judgment from the High Court of Northern Ireland which came to a completely different decision on the same subject.

"So we now have the High Courts in two different parts of the United Kingdom coming to opposite conclusions on the same constitutional and legal question. So this will need to go to a higher court."

He added that the government will give a statement to the Commons on Monday about the ruling and the appeal.

Labour MP Stephen Kinnock, who voted to remain in the EU, says he will be backing moves to trigger Article 50 in the wake of the High Court judgement.

Describing the decision to leave the EU as the "most important since World War Two", he said: "I’m absolutely clear that the UK has to leave the EU," but he stressed that there are "a huge spectrum of options" around the type of departure.

He argues that Parliament exists to scrutinise proposals put before it, adding: "We must trigger Article 50 on the basis of a sensible, balanced and rational decision."

Investment fund manager Gina Miller, who was one of a group who brought the Article 50 case to court, says the case was about "process not politics".

Former Liberal Democrat leader Lord Campbell of Pittenweem says that the Article 50 verdict shows the government that "no matter how high you are, the law's above you".

He urges the minister to confirm that the government will respect "the sovereignty of Parliament". Minister Lord Bridges of Headley insists that it will.

UKIP's Lord Pearson of Rannoch says the EU is heading towards the "three icebergs" of the euro, immigration and over-regulation.

He says the UK should "get off this Titanic" as soon as possible.

Exiting the European Union Minister Lord Bridges of Headley says the EU can make its own decisions on ever-closer union once the UK has left, adding that the UK wants a co-operative relationship post-Brexit.

He tells peers that the government is "disappointed by the court's judgement" and will appeal.

"We regret that the government may now appeal," says Labour spokeswoman Baroness Hayter of Kentish Town, arguing that "Parliament can help shape the basis on which we leave".

Plaid Cymru’s Brexit spokesman Jonathan Edwards welcomed the High Court ruling, claiming "it is ironic that after months of rhetoric around making Parliament sovereign, the UK government wanted to bypass the Parliament on a decision of such importance".

"It is right that the UK Parliament should have a say, but it is important too that the national Parliaments of the UK have a say too, including the National Assembly for Wales," he said.
