Referring to her loss of voice, Mrs May says the international development secretary "very generously offered to teach me sign language".
Prime Minister's Questions
House of Commons
Parliament
Conservative John Baron has the first question and urges the prime minister to stick to the "default position" that no deal is better than a bad deal "so we can leave the EU on 29 March".
Theresa May says she believes her deal is a good deal.
And a couple more:
Plaid Cymru amendment: It calls for an extension to the Article 50 leaving process to 2021, or until a future relationship is agreed.
The amendment also requests a second referendum to take place, on whether or not the UK should leave with the agreed deal, or remain in the EU.
Cancel Brexit amendment: One final amendment has been tabled by former Tory Chancellor Ken Clarke, Labour's Keith Vaz and the SNP's Angus MacNeil.
It simply calls for the revocation of Article 50 to cancel Brexit.
A bit more on those amendments which we're likely to hear a lot more about over the coming hours.
Spelman/Dromey amendment: The amendment from Labour MP Jack Dromey and Conservative Caroline Spelman also changes the wording of the government motion to "this House rejects the United Kingdom leaving the European Union without a Withdrawal Agreement and a Framework for the Future Relationship".
Malthouse Compromise: This amendment sets out the process for a "managed no-deal". It requests:
It is called the Malthouse compromise because it was put together by Conservative minister Kit Malthouse, but it has been tabled in the name of former Conservative minister Damian Green.
It is supported by members of the Brexiteer European Research Group of Conservative MPs and former Remain supporters such as Mr Green and Nicky Morgan.
The Independent Group amendments: One amendment states that "under no circumstances" should the UK leave without a deal, listing the alternatives as a revocation of the UK's intention to leave, extension of the Article 50 period or a second referendum.
A second amendment scraps the second half of the government motion, shortening it to: "that this House declines to approve leaving the European Union without a Withdrawal Agreement and a Framework for the Future Relationship on 29 March 2019"
It has been tabled by the Independent Group, which consists of eight former Labour MPs and three former Tories, who are all supporters of another EU referendum, and who quit their parties in protest at their Brexit policies.
Backbench MPs and opposition parties have put forward six amendments to show which direction they want the government to take on Brexit.
There is no Labour frontbench amendment, as there has been in recent similar votes on Brexit.
It will be down to Speaker John Bercow to decide which ones are put to the vote in the Commons later.
The government motion for debate is:
That this House declines to approve leaving the European Union without a Withdrawal Agreement and a Framework for the Future Relationship on 29 March 2019; and notes that leaving without a deal remains the default in UK and EU law unless this House and the EU ratify an agreement.
So, what are the amendments that have been tabled? Find out here.
A no-deal Brexit means leaving the EU, but without a deal in place. It does not mean no Brexit.
“No deal” would mean there would be no transition period after 29 March and EU laws would stop applying to the UK immediately.
Here is a list of 10 ways you could be affected by a no-deal Brexit.
A free vote means ministers and MPs can make their own mind up rather than following the orders of party managers (whips) – an unusual and rare move for a vote on a major policy.
European Council President Donald Tusk has posted a picture of a letter written by Sophie, aged six, from London, who asks to be friends despite Brexit.
"We will always be friends," he says in the post.

Think tank director warns that MPs have 'fantasy' visions
BBC Politics Live
BBC2's lunchtime political programme
Henry Newman, director of the think tank Open Europe, tells the BBC that Mrs May should now take a cross party approach - as she should have done "from the beginning".
But, he warns: "I do think there's a very big danger of putting Parliament in charge - because what we're seeing is different groups of parliamentarians pursuing entirely fantasy versions of Brexit - none of which are actually going to happen.
"There's a danger that if you allow a majority to coalesce in an odd direction you get something that's totally not negotiable with the EU."

Image source, EBSSumming up the debate on Brexit in the European Parliament, European Commission deputy chief Frans Timmermans asks whether Brexiteers are willing to "pay the price" for Brexit.
"Are you willing to sacrifice all those jobs for your pipe dream of so-called sovereignty", he asks - to some consternation among the UKIP MEPs.
The EU, he says, has been "bending over backwards" to reconcile Theresa May's red lines with the need to protect the single market.

The Malthouse Compromise is a plan for the UK to leave without a formal agreement but with a number of safeguards to minimise economic disruption.
It's backed by Brexiteer members of the European Research Group of Tory MPs, as well as the DUP and former Remain ministers including Nicky Morgan and Damian Green.
It would see the controversial backstop replaced by alternative arrangements, a new transition agreement and a series of "standstill" economic arrangements until the end of 2021.

Image source, EBSIrish MEP Sean Kelly, from the Fine Gael party of Irish PM Leo Varadkar, says he hopes MPs will vote against the the idea of a no-deal Brexit today.
If they do, he says, the EU should immediately offer an extension to Article 50 talks without imposing conditions.
"We can do so for three months without interfering in any way with our elections", he adds.
Labour's Rushanara Ali says the PM is 'fixated'
Victoria Derbyshire
Image source, UK ParliamentRushanara Ali, Labour's MP for Bethnal Green and Bow in London, says last night's vote was "utterly shocking".
She adds: "It's exasperating that Theresa May doesn't seem to pay any attention to the defeats. This is the second big defeat - what does she think she is going to achieve by having another vote?
"I will be supporting ruling out no deal. There's an amendment being put forward by Caroline Spelman and Jack Dromey. I hope that gets selected.
"And tomorrow the opportunity to extend Article 50 for a short amount of time is going to be voted on and I hope that happens.
"So we can move forward. What's happened at the moment is she [Mrs May] is stuck, she is fixated and driving parliamentarians nuts and the country crazy with this uncertainty - where their livelihoods are at risk."

Business groups in Northern Ireland are reacting with concern at proposals that would see no tariffs on Irish goods coming into Northern Ireland in the event of a no-deal Brexit.
The Irish Farmers' Association says the plan would be "disastrous", as some Irish food products going into the rest of the UK would face high tariffs.
Seamus Leheny, of the Freight Transport Association, says the no-deal plan is shambolic and Northern Ireland would be the biggest loser.
"Any MPs who back a no-deal Brexit in the vote clearly don't really care about Northern Ireland or are playing a dangerous game," he says.

Boris Johnson, the UK's former foreign secretary, says it would be "crazy" to rule out leaving the EU without a deal.
"Don't forget that under the law, the UK must leave the EU on 29 March", he says.
"That is the law, and the vote tonight is really symbolic.
"I hope that Parliament will vote not to take no-deal off the table.
"It's crazy to disable yourself as you go into a negotiation - it makes no sense at all. Why would we shoot ourselves in the foot like that?"

BBC Berlin correspondent
A senior German politician Dr Norbert Roettgen, who chairs the country's foreign affairs committee, is urging Britain and the EU to take their time.
"A lot is at stake here," he tells the BBC.
"A big country, an important country, could possibly leave the EU. A process that, in any case, is dividing Great Britain.
"Everything is hectic, hysterical, unclear. Let's slow down and try to get a clear head.
"The world will not end if we all take time for a breather, focus on important points. If we try to rush a result now, it will definitely go wrong."
