		</div><p>British MPs have fired a warning shot across the government’s bows as they backed an amendment intended to limit ministers’ tax raising powers in the event of a no-deal Brexit.</p>
<p>The Commons voted by 303 to 296 – a majority of seven – in favor of the cross-party amendment to the Finance Bill tabled by senior Labour MP Yvette Cooper and Conservative former Cabinet minister Nicky Morgan.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Very glad that the Commons has voted to support <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Amendment7?src=hash&;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Amendment7</a> Shows the determination in Parliament to come together to prevent a chaotic &; damaging <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/NoDeal?src=hash&;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#NoDeal</a> that would hit manufacturing, policing &; security</p>
<p>&mdash; Yvette Cooper (@YvetteCooperMP) <a href="https://twitter.com/YvetteCooperMP/status/1082715297771974657?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 8, 2019</a></p></blockquote>

<p>Twenty Tory rebels MPs defied the whips to back the change – including former ministers Kenneth Clarke, Michael Fallon, Justine Greening, Dominic Grieve and Sam Gyimah.</p>
<p>Ahead of the division, ministers sought to play down the significance of the amendment, insisting it made only the “most minor and technical changes” to the legislation.</p>
<p>Downing Street described it as an “inconvenience” which would not prevent the government collecting taxes.</p>
<p><em>“That is why we are taking every opportunity possible in Parliament to prevent no deal. Theresa May must now rule out no deal once and for all.”</em></p>
