• MPs set out details of their plan to consider other Brexit options
• Leader of the House Andrea Leadsom announced that MPs would debate and vote on legally changing the date of Brexit on Wednesday
• Despite his previous opposition to the prime minister's deal, senior Brexiteer Jacob Rees-Mogg suggested he would support it - arguing that not leaving the EU would be worse
• Other Conservative MPs - including Michael Fabricant and Rehman Chishti - also said they could switch to supporting the deal
• However DUP MPs - who prop up Mrs May's government - urged Tory MPs to "stand firm" in their opposition unless there were "significant changes"
• Former Brexit Secretary David Davis said the deal has "a decent chance" of getting passed

Tory MP Anne-Marie Morris says she still prefers an extension to Brexit over accepting the prime minister's agreement - because it would keep her favoured option of exiting the EU without a no-deal on the "table".

The MP for Newton Abbot, who campaigned to leave the EU, tells the BBC: "The idea of 'vote for Theresa and it is all sorted' frankly doesn't stand the test."

She adds: "The reality is there is no more certainty by pushing her agreement through than the other way around. The benefit is that if we stay and extend, we can still do no-deal.

"If we take hers then there will never be no-deal and we are in a position of a permanent customs union because Europe has to agree that deal and there is no way they are going to agree anything short of a customs union."

The petition calling for Article 50 to be revoked - and which has so far attracted 5.8 million signatures - will be debated on 1 April.

At the same time, MPs will also debate two other petitions - one calling for a second referendum on EU membership, another calling for the UK to leave the EU regardless of whether a deal has been approved.

The debate will start at 4.30pm and will be opened by Catherine McKinnell MP, a member of the Petitions Committee.

The official response to the petition, which now has 5.8m signatures, has been published. It says:

The statement comes from the Department for Exiting the European Union

Conservative MP Sir Edward Leigh intervenes on Chief Secretary to the Treasury Liz Truss to say he recalls "all those dire predictions of economic meltdown if people voted to leave the EU".

"What is her opinion on what would happen if we were to leave with no deal on Friday," he asks.

"Perhaps I should ask the jobbing prime minister, the honourable member for West Dorest [Oliver Letwin] because he seems to be in charge now," he adds.

MPs are beginning a debate under Section 5 of the European Communities (Amendment) Act 1993 - a legally-required report on the state of the EU economy.

Chief Secretary to the Treasury Liz Truss opens the debate by telling MPs she looks forward "to a period of growth and future outside the European Union".

She says the British economy is doing well and "when we leave the EU there will be even more opportunity for growth".

Using an image of the (recently, and cheekily, altered) Wikipedia page for Sir Oliver Letwin, former chancellor George Osborne has this to say:

BBC Radio 5 Live

BBC Radio 5 live reporter Stephen Chittenden has spent the day in Romford, speaking to people about Brexit.

Louisa (left) is from Portugal and Debbie (right) is from Essex, they are both nail bar trainees. Neither is impressed by MPs.

Louisa says: "I want to stay here in the UK, and I would like the government to make another vote [referendum]."

She says she isn't upset about the referendum result, but she is "a little bit worried" because she doesn't know what the future holds for her and her son.

Debbie disagrees: "I think to have a second referendum would be an absolute farce. The country voted, that was the ruling. I voted to Leave, because we have not always been in the EU, and we've managed well as a country."

She's not impressed with how the negotiations have been handled: "I think it's an absolute joke to be honest - they've had nearly three years to make a decision and get the plans drawn up. They still haven't done that and had it agreed, and I think the best thing to do... is walk away with no-deal, and just leave."

The Business of the House motion tweeted by MP Hilary Benn, external sets out how the indicative votes could be carried out.
