Labour MP David Lammy now asks an urgent question about the Windrush compensation scheme.

The scheme allows money to be paid to victims of the Windrush scandal, which saw people wrongly targeted by the "hostile environment" strategy for illegal immigration.

Yesterday the Home Office admitted breaching data protection rules when it launched the scheme.

The department sent information to Windrush migrants in a way that meant their email addresses could be seen by other people.

Immigration Minister Caroline Nokes apologised "unreservedly" for what she said was an "administrative error".

Responding, Home Office Minister Ben Wallace says the Met's war crimes unit received a referral from the Rwandan authorities about the individuals in January 2018.

An investigation has subsequently been announced, he says, which will initially involve reviewing documents sent from Rwanda.

"Given the complexities involved, this is expected to be a protracted and lengthy process", he tells the Commons.

The chancellor has been pushed to clarify his position on another Brexit referendum, following comments he made about the issue earlier this month.

Tory Brexiter Philip Hollobone says that "given the people have already decided, presumably the chancellor doesn't want a second referendum?"

Philip Hammond replies that he has "never advocated" another vote.

He says simply that he "observed" that it is a "coherent proposition", among others.

Former Brexit minister Chris Heaton-Harris asks whether businesses are ready for a no-deal Brexit.

Chancellor Philip Hammond says firms, particularly bigger firms, have been building up "buffer stocks" of components to insure against disruption at ports.

But he adds that despite government attempts to "engage with" companies, there are still "far too many businesses who have adopted the famous approach of the ostrich in the sand in relation to this eventuality".

Shadow chancellor John McDonnell says cross-party Brexit talks are "ongoing", but stays tight-lipped on the content of discussions.

This would be best left to the negotiators on both sides, he says.

"I hope we can count upon the chancellor, if not everyone on his own side, to insist that no deal is not an option", he adds.

Tory MP Sir Gary Streeter says manufacturing in his Devon constituency is "holding up well", and there is evidence this is partially because of stockpiling due to Brexit uncertainty.

He says that "paradoxically" if the PM's Brexit deal were to be approved, it "may result in a lack of demand", and asks if ministers are preparing for this.

Treasury minister Robert Jenrick replies that there is a "great deal of investment waiting to go back into the economy" if the Brexit agreement is approved.

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of today’s events in the House of Commons.

Later, MPs will be debating a motion to approve Theresa May’s request for Brexit to be delayed until 30 June – a motion required by a cross-party law enacted last night.

The prime minister is due to make the request tomorrow at an emergency summit of EU leaders to be held in Brussels.

First this morning however, Chancellor Philip Hammond is due to face questions from MPs during a scheduled departmental scrutiny session from 11.30 BST.

No 10 says ministers and their shadow counterparts will continue the cross-party talks on Tuesday.

Jeremy Corbyn says there has been no change so far in the government's "red lines" over Brexit but will continue cross-party talks in good faith.

House of Lords
Parliament

Peers have seen Yvette Cooper's Brexit bill pass through its committee stage, but it isn't over yet.

The Lords now has an hour to put down any further amendments for the report stage of the bill.

Meanwhile, Lord Ashton is giving a statement on the Online Harms White Paper - the same time as Culture Secretary Jeremy Wright gives his statement to the Commons.

After the report stage, there will be a third reading, and then the bill can return to the Commons later tonight.

The prime minister has been warned by members of the 1922 committee that agreeing a customs union in Brexit talks would be “unacceptable”.

Theresa May called the 1922 executive into Downing Street for talks this afternoon.

It is understood many made clear that it would be unacceptable for the EU to determine tariffs after Brexit – but they were more open to the idea of a customs arrangement which would allow the UK to do its own trade deals.

A source said Mrs May did not make a firm commitment – but updated those present on talks with European leaders and Labour.

Labour MP Yvette Cooper was seen a moment ago in the Lords' Chamber watching peers debate her bill.

She tabled it in the Commons in an attempt to stop a no-deal Brexit, by making Theresa May ask the EU for an extension to the UK's exit date.

Theresa May has been meeting senior members of the 1922 backbench Conservative committee this afternoon, including its chair Sir Graham Brady.

After the meeting, Sir Graham said there was "no deal" yet with Labour.

He also dismissed the idea of Tory MPs holding an indicative vote on the PM's leadership - an idea put forward by a number of Brexiteers angry about the Labour talks.

He told reporters the committee had discussed the idea last week and had "no intention of proceeding" with it.
