MPs will not be voting on the Political Declaration aspect of Brexit
Mrs May split the legally binding treaty segment of her Brexit deal from the declaration on future relations with the EU in order to ensure MPs could vote on it today.
Under the terms of an agreement with Brussels, if passed by MPs today the vote would qualify the UK to be granted an automatic delay to 22 May of the formal date of Brexit. DUP Westminster leader Nigel Dodds said his party could not back the Withdrawal Agreement because the government had failed to win legally binding changes regarding the backstop customs arrangements for the Irish border.
Labour's Caroline Flint said she would back the Government, telling the BBC: "I actually think this is a positive move and I will be supporting the motion for the Withdrawal Agreement.
