The Government has suggested it will resist calls to publish messages between Boris Johnson and his aides as they planned to suspend Parliament and prepared documents about a dealing with a no-deal Brexit .
Yesterday MPs voted to force the government to release the communications between government insiders as they planned to suspend Parliament.
The House of Commons voted 311 to 302 in favour of a so-called "humble address" compelling the government to publish all of the Yellowhammer documents seen by the cabinet or a cabinet committee since 23 July, when Boris Johnson was appointed PM.
Ministers have until 11pm tomorrow to publish the documents, parts of which have been leaked to the press but which the government has yet to make public.
But the government has been unclear about if it intends to publish the documents.
The PM's spokesman said: "We will consider the implications of the vote and will respond in due course."
But he added: "The scope of the information requested in the Humble Address is both disproportionate and unprecedented."
Former Tory minister and now Independent MP Dominic Grieve's used the parliamentary device to also calls for the publication of letters, emails, and text messages between ministers and advisers.
During the debate Mr Grieve said publishing the documents was essential because of the government's public claim that suspending Parliament had nothing to do with Brexit .
Tory backbencher Owen Paterson called the motion a "witch hunt".
"The whole debate offends my sense of fairness," he added.
