    Labour MP Pat McFadden says the prime minister pledged last December she would be "negotiating for services and for goods".

    Citing a £28bn annual surplus in services trade with the EU, he accuses Theresa May of throwing this sector of the economy "under the Brexit bus".

    In reply the prime minister says his description is "not correct". The government is negotiating "flexibility in relation to services", she tells MPs.

    The trade in service will be a "significant element" of future UK trade agreements with countries outside the EU, she adds.

    He asks for a guarantee that there will be no "constitutional, political or regulatory" differences between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK in the backstop deal.
