The May statement is over. A succession of Conservative MPs are now asking points of order inspired by the Sunday Times splash yesterday, suggesting that anti-Brexit MPs are plotting to change the parliamentary rules to allow motions proposed by backbenchers to take precedence over government business. John Bercow, the Speaker, is also being asked about reports suggesting that he conspired with Dominic Grieve ahead of the controversial procedural vote last week that will speed up any possible Commons vote on a Brexit plan B.

Bercow is broadly dismissing the reports, saying that the parliamentary rules on procedure are clear and that he is not involved in any plan to change them.

With regard to the meeting with Grieve, he says he meets MPs all the time.

That is all from me for today.

My colleague Kevin Rawlinson is taking over now.
