Tempers frayed during a late Commons sitting on the bill to trigger the UK's exit from the EU. Problems began shortly before midnight as Deputy Speaker Lindsay Hoyle attempted to bring a speech by SNP MP Joanna Cherry to an end.

Her colleague Alex Salmond was unhappy about the move. Opposition MPs have complained about an alleged lack of time allowed for debate on the bill, although the House had agreed a timetable motion.

The first real clash of the trade committee hearing is between Labour MP and former shadow chancellor Chris Leslie and Lord Jones.

They spar over the likely value of trade deals that the UK will be able to do with countries like South Korea and the United States.

The businessman says the UK will do better deals outside the EU and Mr Leslie is "aching" for Brexit to fail, asking him "why the negativity?"

In response, the MP says all he wants is "realism" and an acceptance that Brexit won't necessarily result in everybody "skipping through the fields and (eating) marshmellows and sweets".

The peer responds by saying he is not interested in the MP's "eating habits" and reminds him that those who warned of "armageddon" in the aftermath of a leave vote in last year's referendum have been proved wrong.

Labour MP Liam Byrne asks Marcus Dolman, from the British Manufacturers' Association, about the implications for exporters, which his organisation represents, of the UK leaving the single market and the customs union.

He says the average tariff set under World Trade Organisation rules - which the UK will revert to if it does reach a bespoke deal with the EU - is about 3-4% and that this "will not a huge amount of difference" in a lot of cases.

But there are high barriers to entry in certain industries, such as agriculture, and there could be major knock-on effect for firms in terms of getting their goods to market quickly and cost-effectively.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn will impose a three-line whip on his MPs to back triggering Article 50 at the third reading of the Brexit bill on Wednesday, in a move agreed by the shadow cabinet, a Labour source has told the news agency.

Theresa May is the longest serving Home Secretary in over a century and the first in over 40 years to become Prime Minister. So how will that extended stay at the Home Office shape the way she runs the country at Number 10?

Sam Macrory spoke to former Home Secretaries Jacqui Smith and Michael Howard.

John Whittingdale tells Sky News that the reality is that Donald Trump was elected as US President while many of those who have previously been granted the honour of speaking to Parliament were not.

The former Tory cabinet minister rejects suggestions that Theresa May was too hasty in inviting Mr Trump on a state visit, saying now is the time to build relationships and "influence" the US President's thinking on key issues.

But Labour's Stephen Kinnock says the government is at risk of being seen to be "brown-nosing" Mr Trump and the government should wait until they have a clearer idea of what he will actually be like as US President rather than "sacrificing the values we have cherished and held dear for decades".

Former trade minister and CBI boss Lord Digby Jones is among the experts now giving evidence to the international trade committee.

Before the session gets under way, Conservative MP Nigel Evans apologises to the witnesses for the absence of the chair's committee, SNP MP Angus MacNeil, who is apparently "stuck up north". 

In his stead, Mr Evans will be chairing the proceedings.

Ministers need to go much further if they are to fix the crisis in the housing system, the left-leaning Institute for Public Policy Research is arguing.

Luke Murphy, a senior research fellow on housing, says the land market is "dysfunctional" and interim solutions to supply more homes are needed while longer-term plans to boost supply work their way through.

Local authorities should be compelled to assess the needs of older people as part of efforts to address the issue of under-occupation, a think tank is urging.

The International Longevity Centre says more than 50% of 65-79-year olds live in properties with two or more excess bedrooms but there is a real shortage of smaller, more appropriate "retirement homes" for them to move into.

Its chief executive Baroness Sally Greengross says up to 150,000 new purpose-built homes for retirees are needed to plug the current gap while other barriers to people downsizing - such as the cost of stamp duty - need to be addressed to help free up larger family homes.

Lib Dem leader Tim Farron says a housing strategy based on people being expected to pay up to £450,000 - this was the cap on the cost of starter homes in London under David Cameron's plan - for an affordable home "does not have a clue".
