		</div><p>Latest: Theresa May is calling off the vote on her Brexit deal in the face of what had been expected to be a significant defeat at the hands of rebel MPs.</p>
<p>A Government source confirmed that the vote was being pulled, with the British Prime Minister due to inform the House of Commons in an oral statement at 3.30pm.</p>
<p>News that the crucial &#8220;meaningful vote&#8221; was being postponed broke just moments after a Downing Street spokeswoman told Westminster reporters at a regular daily briefing that it would go ahead.</p>
<p>The pound fell sharply in response, shedding 0.5% versus the US dollar to stand at 1.26. Against the euro, the pound was 0.8% down at 1.10. Mrs May was engaged in a conference call by telephone with her Cabinet ministers as the story broke.</p>
<p>There was no official confirmation from 10 Downing Street that the vote was being called off. But a senior source said: &#8220;It&#8217;s being pulled.&#8221; Mrs May&#8217;s hastily-arranged oral statement is widely expected to confirm that she intends to seek further concessions from Brussels to try to win over rebellious backbenchers.</p>
<p>The statement will be followed by Leader of the Commons Andrea Leadsom announcing changes to parliamentary business for the days ahead, and Brexit Secretary Stephen Barclay will then make a statement to MPs on the Article 50 process.</p>
