It was another momentous occasion in the Commons on Monday night as MPs voted to take control of the Brexit process.
Members voted by 329 to 302 - a majority of 27 - in favour of Sir Oliver Letwin's amendment which will allow Parliament to hold a series of non-binding votes showing the level of backing for various Brexit options.
The amendment was one of three selected by Commons Speaker John Bercow for consideration yesterday.
The cross-party amendment put forward by Sir Oliver Letwin, Dominic Grieve and Hilary Benn was to allow Parliament to seize control of the agenda in the House of Commons on Wednesday to hold a series of indicative votes to establish whether there is a majority for any Brexit outcome.
Those in favour featured 30 Conservative MPs, including Rushcliffe's Ken Clarke, as well as 17 Independent MPs, including Chris Leslie and Anna Soubry, both of whom left their respective parties in recent weeks.
In favour of the amendment ('Ayes')
- Kenneth Clarke (Rushcliffe, Conservative)
- Vernon Coaker (Gedling, Labour)
- Gloria De Piero (Ashfield, Labour)
- Lilian Greenwood (Nottingham South, Labour)
- Chris Leslie (Nottingham East, Independent)
- Alex Norris (Nottingham North, Labour)
- Anna Soubry (Broxtowe, Independent)
Voting against the amendment were eight Labour MPs including Bassetlaw's John Mann.
Against the amendment ('Noes')
- Ben Bradley (Mansfield, Conservative)
- Robert Jenrick (Newark, Conservative)
- John Mann (Bassetlaw, Labour)
- Mark Spencer (Sherwood, Conservative)
The indicative votes are now likely to take place on Wednesday, although it's possible that they could just be debated on Wednesday and voted on at a later date.
However Theresa May warned she would not feel bound by the results of any indicative votes - which could include a softer, Norway-style deal, a second referendum or revoking the Article 50 withdrawal process altogether.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn warned that the Government must now "take this process seriously".
"The Government's approach has been an abject failure and this House must now find a solution," he said. "I know there are many members of this House who have been working for alternative solutions, and we must debate those to find a consensus."
Broxtowe MP Anna Soubry on Brexit, Theresa May and 'doing the right thing'
During Monday's debate Anna Soubry, a strong Remainer in a constituency which voted to leave, made reference to the impact the debate was having on her own life.
The former Conservative minister said: "I will put my country and my constituents first and foremost and I don't care what that costs me.
"If that means I can't go home at the weekend because of death threats, if that means I have to get a taxi in order to do a 10-minute walk, if that means I have to be frightened of my wellbeing and my partner's and my children - I feel sorry for them and that can't be right.
"But this is the biggest decision this country has made since the Second World War, and we come to this place to represent our constituents and do the right thing by our country.
"It isn't about us, it's not about your party, it's about doing the right thing and in this instance the right thing is to get this back to the British people."
