Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn welcomes the movement to phase two of negotiations but says too many details of phase one are "unclear".
He tells MPs the agreement was "cobbled together at eleventh hour after a DUP veto" and she needs to ensure the next phase of talks are not "mishandled".
He asks the PM to welcome Parliament voting to "take back control" in last week's government defeat, and to condemn abuse of backbench MPs who rebelled.
He also highlights reports ministers are seeking to scrap the Working Time Directive and cautions against any "watering down" of workers' rights.
