MPs have rejected the amendment on Euratom by 336 votes to 287...

...And that concludes the committee stage of the bill.

House of Commons
Parliament

MPs have rejected the amendment on the residency rights of EU nationals 332 votes to 290.

Next up is New Clause 192.

This is a Labour amendment which would ensure that nothing in the bill would effect the UK’s membership of Euratom.

Euratom is a European programme for nuclear research and training which aims to promote nuclear safety, and carbon-free energy research.

MPs have voted to approve the two original clauses of the Brexit Bill by 496 votes to 111.

MPs now vote on Labour MP Harriet Harman's New Clause 57 which seeks to protect the residence rights of those EU citizens who were lawfully resident in the UK on the date of the EU referendum.

It would ensure that those rights do not fall away automatically two years after notice of withdrawal has been given, if no agreement is reached with the EU.

House of Commons

The amendment is defeated 327 votes to 288.

MPs now vote on the bill's two original clauses.

The result was 340 votes to 33.

Another Labour amendment is defeated, 338 votes to 288.

We now move on to amendment 11, proposed by Labour's Chuka Umunna.

This amendment calls for the Government to publish a report on the effect of EU withdrawal on the national finances, particularly health spending following claims in the referendum campaign that EU withdrawal would allow an additional £350 million per week to be spent on the National Health Service.    

House of Commons
Parliament

Labour's amendment on tax evasion is defeated 336 votes to 289.

Next up - amendment 29.

This amendment, proposed by Labour's Mike Gapes, would require the government to consult Gibraltar before triggering Article 50.  

House of Commons

New Clause 7 sets out the commitment to observe the Code of Conduct on business taxation to prevent excessive tax competition.

It states that the government must have regard to EU tax avoidance and evasion whilst carrying out negotiations under Article 50.  

House of Commons
Parliament

MPs now begin what could be up to two hours worth of voting.

The first amendment to be voted on is Labour's New Clause 2 which sets out the objectives the government must have while conducting its negotiation.

These objectives include maintaining a stable and sustainable economy, preserving peace in Northern Ireland, ensuring tariff free trade with the EU and maintaining existing workers’ rights.

Liverpool Mayor Joe Anderson has called for “urgent clarification” after Jeremy Corbyn accused ministers of agreeing a "sweetheart deal" to ensure Tory-controlled Surrey Council dropped plans to raise council tax by up to 15%.

In Prime Minister’s Questions, the Labour leader read out what he said were leaked messages showing Surrey County Council's leader negotiating with the government to call off a referendum on the rise.

On Tuesday, Surrey County Council, which said "no deal" had been offered, restricted the increase to 4.99%, so a referendum was no longer needed.

Mayor Anderson said he would be submitting a Freedom of Information request to obtain copies of all correspondence between civil servants and the council in Surrey.

It is set to be a busy next hour or so in the Commons but here's a recap of the main stories so far.

• Jeremy Corbyn has accused ministers of agreeing a "sweetheart deal" to ensure Tory-controlled Surrey County council dropped plans to raise council tax by up to 15%.  
• Surrey's council leader David Hodge rejects talk of any special favours after the subject dominates Prime Minister's Questions
• The bill empowering the government to begin the formal process of leaving the European Union has reached its final stages in the Commons, with a series of votes beginning shortly
• A key route into the UK for children caught up in Europe's migrant crisis is to close after a total of 350 arrivals.  
• The architect of the troubled universal credit (UC) system says it could take "decades" to get it working at its most effective level.  

An update on what we can expect as debate on the government's Brexit bill reaches an end in the Commons. 

The Speaker’s Office says it is expecting at least eight or nine votes on various amendments.

The first one is due at about 18.05 GMT

The BBC's parliamentary correspondent Susan Hulme advises that it may well be that the voting takes up all the remaining time, and there’s none left to debate the EU Notification of Withdrawal Bill at its third reading.

If that happens, the historic third reading vote on the bill will take place just before 2000 GMT.

Former chancellor George Osborne is set to be paid more than £90,000 for two speeches he gave last month.

According to the updated Commons register of members' interests, external, Mr Osborne is expecting to be paid £51,829.26 for a two-hour speech given at HSBC's London headquarters on 18 January and £40,567 for a three-hour address to St James's Wealth Management on 27 January.

Since leaving office in July, Mr Osborne has made a series of lucrative speeches to leading financial institutions in the UK and the US and recently was appointed as an adviser to the US asset management firm BlackRock.

Brexit Minister David Jones responds to the debate

On Gibraltar, he says that the territory will be covered by the exit negotiations and that their representatives will be fully involved.

He confirms that leaving the EU will mean leaving Euratom.

He adds that the government wants to maintain successful cooperation with the EU but says this will be a matter for the negotiations themselves.

It would be wrong to set out unilateral demands before negotiations have begun, he says. 

On EU nationals' residence rights, he states "once again" that the government recognises that issue is "extremely important" and will address it "as a matter of priority". 

He urges all MPs to withdraw their amendments so "we can start the process of withdrawal" from the European Union.

Labour's Sue Hayman supports clause 192, which states that nothing in the bill should affect the UK's membership of the Euratom.

She worries that it will create "great disruption" in the nuclear industry "at a time when we need to be pushing forward".

It is not just about the nuclear industry, she says, arguing that radiography, the oil and gas sector and the paper and plastic manufacturing industry have been made safer by the UK's involvement in Euratom.
