Labour says it will "absolutely support" an election but only if a no-deal Brexit is "off the table".

The PM's deal means there will be new forms and checks between NI and GB, says the Brexit secretary.

It's time to talk about time - this Sunday the clocks go back by an hour as British summertime draws to a close. But for how long will the custom of Daylight Saving continue - not for long if the EU has its way, as Chris Wimpress reports.

Leader of the House Jacob Rees-Mogg says the government will table the motion to call a general election.

The shadow leader, Valerie Vaz, says Labour will back an election once a no-deal Brexit is completely ruled out.

Mr Rees-Mogg says Labour will continue to make excuses to avoid an election but no deal is off the table.

MPs have voted in favour of the Queen's Speech motion.

The motion sets out the government's legislative agenda for the coming parliamentary session. It is highly unusual for a government to lose a Queen's Speech vote; however, as the current government does not have a majority, the result was expected to be close.

Ayes: 310

Noes: 294

Majority: 16

However, if the prime minister succeeds in his bid, announced this afternoon, to hold an election in December, much of this Queen's Speech will not be acted upon, unless the same plans are brought forward in the new Parliament.

MPs have voted against the SNP's amendment to the government's Queen's Speech.

Ayes: 64

Noes: 310

Majority: 246

The amendment called on the government to maintain freedom of movement between the UK and Europe. It also called on the UK government to match the Scottish government's commitment to a net-zero greenhouse gas emissions target by 2045, and called for relaxing the freeze on benefits. It finished by calling for a pause on the ratification of the EU Withdrawal Agreement Bill until it has been approved by the Welsh Senedd and Scottish Parliament.

MPs have voted down the Labour amendment to the government's Queen's Speech.

Ayes: 293

Noes: 311

Majority: 18

The amendment said the Queen's Speech did not address rebuilding the economy or tackle the housing crisis, and "further pushes public services into crisis". It called on the government to introduce measures on these issues, as well as the "climate emergency".

Commons Speaker John Bercow has selected which amendments will be debated during the final day of debate on the Queen's Speech, the outline of the government's legislative agenda.

The first comes from Labour. It says the Queen's Speech does not address rebuilding the economy or tackle the housing crisis, and "further pushes public services into crisis". It calls on the government to introduce measures on these issues, as well as the "climate emergency".

The other selected amendment was tabled by the SNP. It calls on the government to maintain freedom of movement between the UK and Europe. It also calls on the UK government to match the Scottish government's commitment to a net-zero greenhouse gas emissions target by 2045, and calls for relaxing the freeze on benefits. It finishes by calling for a pause on the ratification of the EU Withdrawal Agreement Bill until it has been approved by the Welsh Senedd and Scottish Parliament.

The Speaker did not select an amendment calling for a second referendum on EU membership.

Good morning from Westminster.

Today is the final day of debate on the government's legislative agenda, as outlined in the Queen's Speech earlier this month. It will be put to a vote later, with the result after 17.00 BST.

The day in the Commons has just begun, however, with questions to Transport Secretary Grant Shapps and his team of ministers.

This will be followed by an urgent question from Labour’s Tony Lloyd on customs checks on goods moving from Northern Ireland to Great Britain after Brexit.

The government will also unveil the business for the House of Commons in the week ahead.
