Story alert – Michael Gove says the government will “reflect” over the next few days, when asked if the bill will definitely be brought forward for a vote.
It comes in the face of major opposition from Tory Brexiteers and Labour.
Earlier, shadow Brexit secretary Sir Keir Starmer said May should abandon attempts to get her new deal through the Commons.
“The PM needs to, today, accept that what she announced yesterday isn’t going to work and pull the vote,” he told BBC Radio 4’s Today.
“She has still got time to say ‘I do know what the central concerns of the Labour Party are and I’m prepared to put a concrete policy proposition on the face of the Bill on the issues of a close economic relationship and on the issue of a public vote’.
“She could do that, that would be a far better way forward than just allowing this vote to happen in a week or two’s time and to lose it. So, I think she should pull it today and reconsider.”
