but many are frustrated they haven't had enough time to fully debate the brexit bill. ole of the curtailing of this debate leaves parliament unable to scrutinise the eu withdrawal. this bill, mrs lang, is being railroaded through this house with scant regard for democratic process. mps also wanted a guarantee in the bill that eu citizens living in britain could stay, but ministers said that would have to wait until talks start. it is therefore not appropriate to seek to tie the hands of the government in individual policy areas at this stage. doing so can only serve to jeopardise our negotiating position. while threats of conservative rebellions melted away, before the vote it was clear that labour mps like clive lewis were struggling to follow orders from jeremy corbyn not to block or delay brexit talks. it's my intention to do what's right by my constituents and by my conscience and whatever that takes and also i have to think about the wider labour party. it's a really tough call. tonight he walked out of labour's top team saying he couldn't vote for something he bel

how can they wrecked the brexit bill with amendments if they don‘t get much support?the support was more than nine or ten. amongst the conservatives? yes, couldn't really see that, some of these amendments it is like 100 have come forward. they are wrecking amendments, i think, come forward. they are wrecking amendments, ithink, one has gone through that you cannot trigger article 50 until we've had money put into cardiff airport. bless them for trying, but lots of things are coming forward like this. at the end of the day she is going to proceed. she is going to carry on. the vote la st she is going to carry on. the vote last week was pretty much unanimous over 380 supporting it going forward. ken clarke? he is about the only one. he was the only one from the conservatives. but we expected that. we knew that. yes, stand firm, follow one through, and, you know, she is touring the right thing. we‘ve also got on the ft, just quickly, brexit having a negative effect already, says big business leaders. hold the front page. how original of the ft. they‘ve been writing that

the brexit bill goes to the lord's this week, lots of them are going to have lots to say, will they meantalmost certainly the bill will be amended in some fashion and it will have to go back to the commons and it will ping—pong as the saying goes. in the end you assume the commons will get its way over the commons will get its way over theissues the commons will get its way over the issues of eu nationals and what kind of vote takes place on the final deal the prime minister seals. lord mandelson was on the tivo this morning, certainly trying to bolster a few morning, certainly trying to bolster afew in morning, certainly trying to bolster a few in the lord's to stand up against the brexit bill —— on the tv. he certainly believes the british public will change its mind when they see what miserable deal they get into years time or next year. in our paper tomorrow they go further saying the public should be allowed to pass judgement on the deal, raising the prospect of a second referendum or a general election if it goes wrong for the p.m.. election if it goes wrong for the p.m. . lex looke

mps are to vote on the brexit bill today, deciding whether to give theresa may the power to leave thet the government saw off a possible rebellion after promising that any final deal will be put to the commons. a battle for control over the process of brexit. how much say will parliament have? order... last night, mps ended more than seven hours of debate which contained what some saw as a concession from the government. i can confirm that the government will bring forward a motion on the final agreement, to be approved by both houses of parliament before it is concluded. in other words, mps will get to vote on any future brexit deal before it is signed off by the government and the eu. but theresa may's negotiations with other eu leaders are likely to be complex, and some mps are worried about her threat to walk away from the talks rather than take a bad deal. what the house wants is the opportunity to send the government back to our eu partners to negotiate a deal f1 hasn't been reached. last night, the government saw off a number of attempts to add conditions to the bill which give

brexit negotiations will take place, it seem. we spoke to the austrian chancellor who said $60 billion is going to be the bill the u.k. have to play for brexit to which many tory skeptics say, show us the workings. what do you base this on? give us your analysis of what that means as an opening salvo rom the euro zone. >> we've heard this figure up to 60 billion before. aisle not sure there's sound evidence to back it. there's it's a figure that's on the e.u. side. that will be part of the negotiations. the british side will say that's not the correct figure. part of the negotiation, we have to work out exactly what the appropriate amount is. >> should it be taken as an opening gambit to be bar gained with, to be brought down? >> since the european side hade said they're not prepared to negotiate until we notified article 50, i don't see how we can take it as a serious part of the negotiation at this point. but there will be a figure which covers our ongoing programs, the cons of pension payments for british european civil servants and things like that. anna: the e.u. government will assume there -- the u.k. governmen

but as the bill is short and narrow in scope, the debate ranged over wider territory — the pros and cons of brexitmendments to the bill and the role of the house of lords. the government is determined to trigger article 50 by the 31st of march in order to deliver on the decision of the british people. the bill before us is a procedural part of that withdrawal process. i welcome the constructive tone we have heard from the opposition that they will not seek to frustrate this process while of course undertaking the scrutiny role we are here to perform. we will not be threatened into not fulfilling our normal constitutional role. and neither will we be goaded into acting irresponsibly. we have to have a serious and responsible debate. in doing so, if we ask the house of commons to look again at an issue, it is not a constitutional outrage, but a constitutional responsibility. there's a world of difference between blocking the bill and seeking to amend it. so, my lords, if we clearly have the power to amend the bill, should we positively seek to do so? my lords, i believe that we should. there is a re

but there has been some indication that members are trying to rewrite the brexit bill a bit. have to wait and see. mark: there's a certain matter which hasthe bill, been one of the more interesting interviews we had done yesterday with the austrian chancellor, who will use this figure which has been essentially laughed at by some corners of the conservative party. going to be a contentious part of this brexit negotiation, isn't it? reporter: i think the idea that negotiations are not going to be contentious is laughable. at the end of the day, we've got the eu and the office of the chancellor certainly represented . and theye is at stake, don't seem to want to give britain an easy ride. people to think there is a great future after long view, in the things may work out ok. we don't know yet. to get there, there will have to be compromise from both camps, but also there will be a lot of tension and disagreement because this is not just a matter of negotiating with the commission. everyone around the table has got to agree. mark: what will europe be thinking, the eu after presi

former deputy prime minister lord heseltine has said he will rebel against the government on its brexit billing in the mail on sunday, the senior peer said he would support an amendment to the article 50 legislation so that parliament can have what he describes as a meaningful vote on a final deal with the eu. our political correspondent tom bartonjoins us from our london newsroom. what exactly is lord heseltine after? tory grandees don't come much more grand than lord heseltine. he held five different cabinet positions with both margaret thatcher and john major. he has now appeared in house of lords and he says he could defy theresa may and back an amendment which would give parliament the final say over brexit negotiations. now, he did campaign for remain in the referendum. he does insist that he isn't heading for a confrontation with the government, instead he wants to make sure that parliament can exercise what he calls its proper oath or itchy over the issue —— proper authority. he says that could mean he defies a three line whip. the brexited minister in the house of lords, lord bridge

peers start debate on the brexit bill — with the leader in the lords warning them not to slow thingshe government is determined to trigger article 50 by the slst of march in order to deliver on the decision of the british people. the bill before us is a procedural part of that withdrawal process. mps debate two petitions on donald trump — one calling for his state visit to be cancelled, the other welcoming it. one labour mp said it went against everything she'd come into politics for. by allowing donald trump a state visit and rolling out the red carpet we are endorsing all of those views, all of those things i've fought hard against, and saying, do you know what? it's ok. and the business secretary pledges to do all he can to safeguard jobs at vauxhall, amid speculation a french motor group could buy its parent company. every part of britain has a stake in vauxhall and so i completely agree with her that we will do everything we can and my personal commitment and the commitment of this government will be unbounded. but first, the house of lords has begun considering the law which wo

before the bill's final day of debate in the commons, the brexit process was brought up at prime minister'suestions by the snp's westminster leader. angus robertson focused on the decision of the scottish parliament to reject the triggering of article 50. when the prime minister was in edinburgh on the 15th ofjuly constituency in this house of commons has voted against her approach, she does not have an agreed uk—wide approach. now, mr speaker, as the prime minister knows, a lot of people in scotland watch primaries this questions so will she tell the viewers in scotland whether she intends to keep her word to scotland or not? —— watch prime minister's questions. the supreme court was very clear that the scottish parliament does not have a veto on the triggering article 50. the bill that is going through the house obviously is giving the power to the government to trigger article 50 and i would also remind him of this point because he constantly refers to the interests of scotland inside the european union. an independent scotland would not be in the european union. then came a reference to
