David Amess, Tory MP for Southend, is the first to raise Brexit, pointing out that "party loyalties are being sorely tested" and the world is pondering how it will turn out.

He goes on to praise his local town and urges the PM to bring forward a meaningful vote on granting the Essex town city status.

This goes down well across the House.

The PM congratulates the MP on cleverly working his constituency into the question while Jeremy Corbyn also wishes the MP well in his campaign.

Theresa May is on her feet on PMQs. She starts by noting the 50th anniversary of the UK's first nuclear-armed submarines beginning continuous patrols as well as the 70th anniversary of the founding of Nato.

A lot of Conservative MPs are angry about Theresa May's overtures to Jeremy Corbyn.

But Environment Minister Therese Coffey is not one of them.

She tells Politics Live she welcomes the talks, saying the Brexit process is in the "11th hour" and the Labour leadership "wants to find a deal" too.

"There is an opportunity...and there is a genuine desire to try and find a way forward," she ways.

We are a few minutes away from PMQs.

The BBC's Laura Kuenssberg questions whether the Labour leader will raise Brexit given he and Theresa May are due to hold talks this afternoon.

While Mr Corbyn has "got into the groove" of asking about Brexit, she wonders how he can go "hells bells" when the two are trying to find a constructive compromise.

She suggests he may instead opt to raise one of his favourite subjects, such as Universal Credit or housing.

Conservative MP Nadine Dorries says staying in some form of customs union with the EU would be a "red line" for her but she doesn't totally rule out supporting it, if it enables Brexit.

Speaking on the BBC's Politics Live, she criticises fellow Brexiteers who voted against Theresa May's deal last week, likening them to "two-year-olds stamping their feet".

But she also says it is wrong of the government to take a no-deal Brexit off the table, saying it "is insane to make anything a no-go area".

"We need all options to vote on."

The Brexit committee's scrutiny session with Brexit secretary Stephen Barclay has now finished.

The BBC's Ellis Horne looks at what might happen to our European getaways if the UK leaves the EU without a deal.

Stephen Timms also asks about how long Article 50 would have to be extended for, if a confirmatory referendum on the PM's deal were to take place.

Brexit Secretary Stephen Barclay says holding another referendum is an "undesirable option" which could "take us back to where we were before".

He adds that agreeing the legislation required for another referendum to take place could take twelve months.

Labour MP Stephen Timms asks whether the Commons could hold another vote on the Brexit deal before changes to the Brexit political declaration were agreed by EU leaders.

He says it could take some time to amend the document to specify, for example, if the UK wanted to pursue a customs union with the EU.

Stephen Barclay replies that the EU has indicated it is "willing to respond quickly" to a request to change the political declaration.

But the UK could change its "negotiating objectives" unilaterally, he adds.

Lib Dem MP Vera Hobhouse asks whether ministers would vote against the government's Brexit deal if it were bound up with the promise of holding a confirmatory referendum on it.

Stephen Barclay says there are "no preconditions" to the talks with the Labour party, and ministers will have to "look at this as part of the hierarchy of options".

But he says that he personally does not think holding another referendum is a good idea, adding that it would prolong uncertainty.

Select Committee
Parliament

Conservative MP Stephen Crabb asks whether the government is preparing for the possibility that EU leaders will turn down the PM's request for a further Brexit delay, and enforce a no-deal Brexit on 12 April.

Stephen Barclay replies that the EU wants to avoid a no-deal exit, which he says would have "significant costs" and risks for them too.

Select Committee
Parliament

Stephen Barclay says there are "many" EU leaders who would not welcome a long delay to Brexit until the end of the year.

He says people he has spoken to want Brexit resolved "as soon as possible", and that the EU has other political issues to try to resolve.

Select Committee
Parliament

Hilary Benn asks Brexit Secretary Stephen Barclay about the PM's comments last night that she would "abide by" a decision in the Commons on a way forward, if the PM cannot agree an approach with Labour.

He asks whether this would mean the government would commit to deliver a customs union with the EU if Parliament ended up voting for it.

In reply, Mr Barclay says the commitment was to look at a mechanism for holding "binding indicative votes".

He says he would have "serious concerns" about the UK staying in a customs union with the EU, an idea which he says has already been rejected.

But he says that the government "would accept what the House voted for", in order to "bring this to a resolution in the national interest".

Labour's Hilary Benn, who chairs the Brexit committee, asks about the further Article 50 extension the PM said last night that she would request from the EU.

He asks whether, if the EU agreed to an extension up until 22 May, a further extension would be impossible - if the UK did not take part in May's European Parliament elections.

Brexit Secretary Stephen Barclay says his understanding is that if the UK did not take part in the elections, a "long extension till the end of the year" would not be possible.

Not having held elections could call into question the "legitimacy" of the next European Commission, he says.

The next Commission is due to be confirmed by the European Parliament later this year, before it is due to take office in the autumn.

Welcome to our coverage of another busy day in Westminster, with Theresa May expected to meet Jeremy Corbyn later for talks on the Brexit deadlock.

The two will face each other at noon, of course, when they are due in the Commons for Prime Minister's Questions.

Also this afternoon, a cross-party group of MPs will attempt to push through legislation to force the PM to seek a further delay to Brexit talks.

But first this morning, we will be turning our attention to the Brexit select committee, which will shortly be taking evidence from Brexit Secretary Stephen Barclay.
