Conservative MP Martin Vickers says indicative votes on alternative Brexit options would be "a complete waste of time", suggesting the majority of MPs "want to thwart the result of the referendum".

The Cleethorpes MP says his constituents want him to back the prime minister's deal, but are concerned that the government may give more concessions to the EU.

Theresa May says people would say the government were failing to deliver on the referendum if Brexit does not happen.

Labour MP Caroline Flint appeals to MPs to come together in the national interest to deliver Brexit.

She asks whether MPs will be able to debate and vote on the options available for an eventual free trade deal with the EU, if the PM's deal is approved.

Theresa May replies that she has "already indicated" that there will be a "greater involvement" for MPs in the next stage of the Brexit negotiations.

Conservative MP Crispin Blunt says the PM has taken a no-deal Brexit off the table, having "listened to a remainer Parliament".

He suggests her statement "will represent the most shameful surrender by a British leader since Singapore in 1942", a remark greeted with consternation by some on the Conservative benches.

The fall of Singapore to Japanese forces during World War Two was described by the then prime minister Winston Churchill as the "worst disaster" in British military history.

Theresa May says the reality is MPs have shown their intention to do everything they can to take no-deal off the table able and that "we all need to realise that if we are going to deliver Brexit."

Tory Brexiteer Mark Francois accuses the chancellor of "effectively opening the door" to a second referendum with comments he made to Sky's Sophy Ridge on Sunday show.

Philip Hammond suggested the idea of another referendum was a "coherent proposition and deserves to be considered, along with the other proposals".

In response to the question, Theresa May said her chancellor was simply saying another referendum was "one of the propositions that has been put forward".

She makes clear that she has not changed her view that the result of the 2016 vote should be honoured.

Labour's Yvette Cooper, chair of the Home Affairs Committee, asks the PM whether she will continue to rule out a customs union with the EU as an option if Parliament expresses its support for it during any process of indicative votes.

Mrs May replies that her own view is that the UK "should have an independent trade policy in the future".
