Liberal Democrat Tom Brake says the president of the CBI has said that sections of the car industry "face extinction" unless the UK remains in the customs union.

He asks if the prime minister will support a second vote.

Mrs May says that the future customs arrangement with the EU will allow as frictionless trade as possible, while allowing the UK to negotiate free trade deals around the world.

She says the government is delivering on the decision of the people.

This is likely to be met with some sceptism, but an SNP source has been speaking to the BBC:

Labour's Anna McMorrin asks if the PM has noticed when walking in Wales the plastic waste that is "killing our oceans and polluting our seas".

Theresa May says she tends to walk up hills rather than by the sea but recognises Wales has "fantastic beaches" and the public and politicians have "shown great energy in picking up this cause".

Conservative Bob Blackman raises the case of his former constituent Gena Turgel, who survived the Holocaust. He asks the prime minister to celebrate her life.

Mrs May says Ms Turgel "showed considerable determination and strength" and that it is right that her life will be celebrated as part of the National Holocaust Memorial.

She says the impact that Ms Turgel will have had in speaking to schools about the Holocaust will have had a real impact.

Labour MP Chris Williamson says schoolchildren in his constituency have asked him to support the safe schools initiative, and asks if the prime minister's support of the initiative means she will stop UK arms sales to Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia is currently fighting a war in Yemen.

The prime minister responds that the government is committed to funding education, with an emphasis on girls in conflict zones.

Why did MPs spend only 18 minutes discussing Brexit and devolution?

Labour's Jeff Smith says it took 5,000 cancelled trains in three weeks for the transport secretary "to note the Northern Rail crisis" and he asks for enhanced powers for Transport for the North.

Mrs May says that there have been "unprecedented powers" given to Transport for the North. It has powers to fund organisations and deliver projects, she adds.

Conservative Jacob Rees-Mogg raises yesterday's votes on the EU Withdrawal Bill.

The Commons rejected an amendment by Viscount Hailsham which Mr Rees-Mogg calls a "constitutional absurdity", which would have given Parliament more power in the event of there not being a Brexit deal.

He asks if it's clear that "the job of government and the job of parliament is different".

The government accepted some moves by Conservative MP Dominic Grieve to give Parliament the power to oversee the process in the event of no deal, but not to direct what happens. Ministers are in negotiations with Tory rebels about further amendments.

Theresa May says "we've seen concerns raised about the role of Parliament" in Brexit.

She says the goverment's approach will be guided by the principle of separation of powers, but adds that government must be accountable to Parliament and have the support of Parliament.

However, she says she is "absolutely clear" that she "cannot countenance" Parliament being used to "overturn the will of the British people".

Labour's Jo Stevens says that it is almost a year since the government promised the domestic violence bill.

She asks if Mrs May's MPs will have a free vote on decriminalising abortion in Northern Ireland.

Theresa May says that the bill has taken this long because the government is consulting with survivors of domestic abuse.

Mrs May adds that votes on abortion have always been treated as "conscience matters" so there will be a free vote, and she says her preferred outcome is that Northern Irish politicians should decide what should happen in the region.

Conservative John Wittingdale asks the prime minister to reaffirm the UK's support for Ukraine.

She does so, and says she met the Ukranian president recently.

She says it is also important to reiterate the UK's support of sanctions against Russia over its actions in the Crimea and says Russia is not implementing the Minsk Agreement.

Conservative Nadine Dorries says she wants to praise her Mid-Bedfordshire constituents for their "tolerance" in the face of the "fiasco" of the rail timetable changes on the Govia Thameslink franchise.

She says that trains are so overcrowded she's asked the franchise to produce a risk assessment for their overcrowded trains.

Theresa May says it's an "important issue" and that it is a "simply unacceptable" situation. She says the franchise has promised to implement a better timetable and the Department of Transport is working with the company to help "provide the service people deserve".

Conservative Sir Bernard Jenkin commends Mrs May for the way she has established the inquiry for victims of the Grenfell Fire.

He says that victims are showing "growing confidence" in the inquiry that will be held.

Mrs May congratulates him on his knighthood. She says that the inquiry is statutory and independent, and anyone who misleads it will face prosecution.

Labour's Sandy Martin asks if the prime minister can ensure the rights of EU citizens who have been in the UK for many years - and refers to the former mayor of Ipswich whose right to remain was refused.

Theresa May responds that the rights of EU citizens are a key priority for the government in its negotiations with the EU.

Conservative Luke Hall says that with the amount of people leaving "it feels like one of my after dinner speeches".

Youth unemployment is down 23%, he says, he asks if the government will focus on opportunities for young people.

Mrs May says that she is delighted to hear the youth unemployment figures, which have fallen "by around 141 every single day since 2010".

This allows young people to get on the housing ladder, she adds.
