No-Deal Brexit amendment passed by House of Commons
An amendment that would see Parliament rule out a No Deal Brexit has been approved by MPs.
No Deal will still remain the default position on March 29 if an agreement is not reached or an extension to Article 50 is not negotiated with the EU.
MPs voted on the amendment - which was put forward by Midlands MPs Caroline Spelman and Jack Dromey and backed by senior figures from all sides of the Commons - at 7pm tonight.
A total of 312 MPs voted to rule out No Deal, while 308 voted against the amendment.
