MPs have voted on putting the precise time and date of Brexit into law.

Theresa May's Government wanted to include that the UK will leave the EU at 11pm on March 29 2019 in its EU Withdrawal which is currently going through Parliament.

The debate came as Damian Green resigned as First Secretary of State.
