Brexit: Theresa May faces 'meaningful vote' on her deal
MPs are preparing to vote on whether to back Theresa May's deal for leaving the European Union.
The so-called "meaningful vote" will take place later as five days of debate on Brexit come to an end.
Mrs May has called for politicians to back her deal or risk "letting the British people down".
But with many of her own MPs expected to join opposition parties to vote against the deal, it is widely expected to be defeated.
Attorney General Geoffrey Cox will open the last day of debate at about 12:50 GMT, with Mrs May due to close the debate with a speech from about 18:30 GMT.
Voting will start at about 19:00 GMT, starting with backbench amendments that could reshape the deal and then the vote on the withdrawal agreement itself.
