Theresa May vows to overturn Lords plan which could stop Brexit - as it happened

All the action from Parliament on 1 May

Can Brexit be reversed?

Theresa May vowed to overturn an amendment to the government’s Brexit legislation after suffering a key defeat in the House of Lords.

The prime minister said the government would be “robust” in trying to block the passage of the change, voted through the upper chamber on Monday evening, when it comes back to a Commons vote.

But she has been forced to give way to Tory rebels who had revolted over an attempt to block measures that would increase the transparency of offshore tax havens.

Facing a possible Commons defeat, the government said it would not oppose an amendment aimed at exposing the super rich who heard dirty money in British territories.

Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) committee has repeated its request for Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg to give evidence before its inquiry into fake news by May 24, giving the billionaire chief executive until May 11 to respond.

In his letter to Facebook UK's head of public policy Rebecca Stimson, Mr Collins wrote: "Following reports that he will be giving evidence to the European Parliament in May, we would like Mr Zuckerberg to come to London during his European trip. We would like the session here to take place by 24 May.

"It is worth noting that, while Mr Zuckerberg does not normally come under the jurisdiction of the UK Parliament, he will do so the next time he enters the country.

"We hope that he will respond positively to our request, but if not the Committee will resolve to issue a formal summons for him to appear when he is next in the UK."

New: Labour is to use a parliamentary procedure to try to force the government to release files on the Windrush scandal.

The party will use the same technique it adopted to successfully compel ministers to release Brexit impact assessments to try to force the publication of internal government correspondence showing what government ministers knew about the problems facing Windrush immigrants.
