Brexit ballot: What are the options MPs are voting on tonight?
MPs will vote on eight possible outcomes after backbenchers seized control of the Commons agenda
MPs will vote on eight different Brexit options tonight after backbench MPs dramatically seized control of the Commons agenda.
Despite opposition from the government, MPs backed a plan for "indicative votes" to try to establish which Brexit outcome is most likely to command a Commons majority.
Conservative MPs will be given a free vote on the options, although cabinet ministers will abstain. Labour, meanwhile, has whipped its MPs to support three of the proposals but they will be free to vote as they please on the others.
