    Firstly Conservative Caroline Spelman and Labour's Jack Dromey proposed an amendment which would have ensured the prime minister's commitment to give MPs a vote on delaying Brexit is legally binding.

    However, after receiving assurances from the government they withdrew their amendment.

    The government accepted Conservative Alberto Costa's amendment which sought to protect the rights of UK citizens living in the the EU and vice versa - regardless of an EU withdrawal deal being agreed.

    The government also accepted an amendment from Labour MP Yvette Cooper committing the UK to extending Article 50 if MPs votes to delay Brexit.

    Despite government approval, Ms Cooper's amendment was still pushed to a vote where it was passed 502 votes to 20.

    Two other amendments were also put to a vote - Labour's amendment putting forward their plan's for Brexit and the SNP's amendment seeking to rule out a no-deal Brexit.

    Both were rejected 323 votes to 240; and 324 votes to 288 respectively.

  14. MPs vote on Yvette Cooper's amendmentpublished at 19:33 Greenwich Mean Time 27 February 2019

    House of Commons
    Parliament

    Labour's Yvette Cooper also moves her amendment, which is pushed to a vote.

    The amendment states that if MPs vote to delay Brexit, the government should seek an extension from the EU and bring forward legislation to change, in law, the date of the UK's departure.

    It would not be binding in the same way as an Act of Parliament, but would nonetheless be an expression of the will of the House and that would be politically difficult for Mrs May to ignore.

    The result is expected in around 15 minutes.
