MPs have tabled a series of amendments to Theresa May’s motion on a no-deal Brexit, and Speaker John Bercow has selected two for debate in the House of Commons.

The prime minister’s motion says the house declines to approve Brexit on 29 March without a withdrawal agreement or future relationship framework, but notes that no deal remains the default unless both the UK and EU ratify an agreement.

The amendments selected are:

No no-deal ever

Passed by 312 votes to 308, a majority of four

Tabled by the West Midlands MPs Caroline Spelman and Jack Dromey and backed by senior figures from all sides of the Commons including Sir Oliver Letwin, Hilary Benn, Nick Boles and Yvette Cooper, as well as all 11 members of the Independent Group, this amendment simply rejects a no-deal Brexit at any time and under any circumstances. The amendment was moved by Cooper, after Spelman declined to do so following the government decision to whip Tory MPs to vote against it.

Malthouse compromise

Defeated by 374 votes to 164, a majority of 210

Tabled by a group of Conservative MPs drawn from both leave and remain wings of the party, this amendment calls for a delay to Brexit day from 29 March to 22 May to give time for preparations to leave without a deal. It says the government should then offer a “standstill” agreement with the EU and its member states, lasting up to the end of 2021 at the latest, during which the UK would pay into EU budgets and observe legal obligations while a permanent relationship is negotiated.

The amendments not selected are:

Revoke article 50

Tabled by the Scottish National party’s Angus MacNeil and backed by Europhile MPs including the Tory grandee Kenneth Clarke, Labour’s Keith Vaz and Plaid Cymru’s Westminster leader, Liz Saville Roberts, this amendment calls on the government to halt Brexit by revoking its notice of intention to leave under article 50 of the EU treaties.

Plaid Cymru

Tabled by the Welsh nationalist party’s four MPs, this would require the government to extend article 50 negotiations to 2021 and hold a referendum at the end of that period on leaving with a deal or remaining in the EU.

Independent Group

Backed by all 11 former Labour and Tory MPs who defected to form the Independent Group, this would rule out no deal under any circumstances and state that the Commons has the power to instruct the prime minister to request an extension of negotiations, revoke article 50 or hold a second referendum. A second Independent Group amendment simply rules out leaving without a withdrawal agreement or future relationship framework.
