Brexit debate
House of Commons
Parliament
Cabinet Office Minister David Lidington opens the debate, and it is not long before he is taking interventions.
Conservative Ed Leigh says the choice facing MPs is now "no longer between an imperfect deal and no deal, but between an imperfect deal and no Brexit".
Independent MP (formerly Labour) Frank Field rises to make a similar point.
Mr Lidington says he agrees with both his colleagues.
