		</div><p>British MPs will be asked to consider a range of alternative Brexit options tomorrow, after UK Parliament seized control of the Commons agenda to force a series of “indicative votes”.</p>
<p>The precise voting system is not yet known, but it is understood that MPs will be asked to vote Yes or No to each of the options put before them.</p>
<p>Motions had to be tabled by the end of business today, and Speaker John Bercow will select the options to be voted on the following day.</p>
<p>Options include:</p>
<p><strong>Labour plan<br />
</strong>Labour has tabled a motion proposing its plan for a close economic relationship with the EU.</p>

<p>The plan includes a comprehensive customs union with a UK say on future trade deals; close alignment with the single market; matching new EU rights and protections; participation in EU agencies and funding programmes; and agreement on future security arrangements, including access to the European Arrest Warrant.</p>
<p><strong>Common market 2.0<br />
</strong>Tabled by Conservatives Nick Boles, Robert Halfon and Andrew Percy and Labour’s Stephen Kinnock, Lucy Powell and Diana Johnson.</p>
<p>The motion proposes UK membership of the European Free Trade Association and European Economic Area. It allows continued participation in the single market and a “comprehensive customs arrangement” with the EU after Brexit, which would remain in place until the agreement of a wider trade deal which guarantees frictionless movement of goods and an open border in Ireland.</p>
<p><strong>Confirmatory public vote</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/60D666D2-A968-4658-8CAA-4D33BA212C92.jpeg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-128836" src="https://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/60D666D2-A968-4658-8CAA-4D33BA212C92.jpeg" alt="" width="1179" height="1602" /></a></p>
<p>Drawn up by Labour MPs Peter Kyle and Phil Wilson and tabled by former foreign secretary Dame Margaret Beckett with the backing of scores of MPs across the House, this motion would require a public vote to confirm any Brexit deal passed by Parliament before its ratification.</p>
<p><strong>Customs union<br />
</strong>Requires a commitment to negotiate a “permanent and comprehensive UK-wide customs union with the EU” in any Brexit deal.</p>
<p>Tabled by veteran Conservative Europhile Ken Clarke, backed by Labour’s Yvette Cooper, Helen Goodman and chair of the Commons Exiting the EU Committee Hilary Benn and Tory former ministers Sir Oliver Letwin and Sarah Newton.</p>
<p><strong>Malthouse compromise Plan A</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/A0B8BC3F-5105-45D5-BA77-9E7BE23D72FD.jpeg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-128837" src="https://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/A0B8BC3F-5105-45D5-BA77-9E7BE23D72FD.jpeg" alt="" width="1186" height="1676" /></a></p>
<p>A cross-party proposal calls for Theresa May’s Withdrawal Agreement to be implemented with the controversial “backstop” for the Irish border replaced by alternative arrangements.</p>
<p>Backed by Conservatives from both the Leave and Remain wings of the party, including Nicky Morgan, Jacob Rees-Mogg, Damian Green, Steve Baker and Sir Graham Brady, as well as the DUP’s Nigel Dodds and Labour Brexiteer Kate Hoey.</p>
<p><strong>Revoke Article 50</strong></p>
<p>Under this plan, if the Government has not passed its Withdrawal Agreement, it would have to stage a vote on a no-deal Brexit two sitting days before the scheduled date of departure.</p>
<p>If MPs refuse to authorise no-deal, the Prime Minister would be required to halt Brexit by revoking Article 50.</p>
<p><a href="https://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/53CD9C82-72A6-44C2-842E-EEB31917A5A1.jpeg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-128838" src="https://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/53CD9C82-72A6-44C2-842E-EEB31917A5A1.jpeg" alt="" width="1196" height="804" /></a></p>
<p>Under this plan, if the Government has not passed its Withdrawal Agreement, it would have to stage a vote on a no-deal Brexit two sitting days before the scheduled date of departure.</p>
<p>If MPs refuse to authorise no-deal, the Prime Minister would be required to halt Brexit by revoking Article 50.</p>
<p>The motion, tabled by the SNP’s Joanna Cherry, has been signed by 33 MPs including Conservative former attorney general Dominic Grieve, Liberal Democrat leader Sir Vince Cable, Labour’s Ben Bradshaw and all 11 members of The Independent Group.</p>
<p><strong>New customs union</strong><br />
Tabled by Labour’s MP for Stoke-on-Trent Central Gareth Snell, this motion simply states that it should be the Government’s objective to implement a trade agreement including a customs union with the EU. It mirrors an amendment to the Trade Bill secured by Labour peers in the House of Lords.</p>
<p><strong>EEA/EFTA without customs union<br />
</strong>A motion tabled by Conservative MP George Eustice – who quit as agriculture minister this month to fight for Brexit – proposes remaining within the EEA and rejoining EFTA, but remaining outside a customs union with the EU.<strong><br />
</strong><br />
The motion was also signed by Conservative MPs including former minister Nicky Morgan and head of the Brexit Delivery Group Simon Hart.</p>
