Sky News (HERE) say Conservative rebels have forced the government to delay sending the withdrawal bill to committee stage because of their potential support for some of the 300 or so amendments and 54 new clauses. It will not go to the Committee stage next week as planned.
Ten Tory MPs are said to be backing an amendment demanding that the final Brexit deal be approved by parliamentary statute, which would give MPs the ability to propose changes to the deal: to date the Government has only agreed to give parliament a vote on the final Brexit deal.
Andrea Leadsom, leader of the House of Commons, said the government, "is taking a bit of time to have proper, thoughtful, well considered responses to those". Well that's new then.
Parliament may yet be a lot more troublesome to Mrs May and the Brexiteers. A more detailed article from the BBC is HERE.
