		</div><p>The British Government has agreed to publish its plan for leaving the EU, before triggering the exit process.</p>
<p>It has accepted a Labour motion which demanded Parliament should know the UK&#8217;s aims ahead of the invoking of Article 50.</p>
<p>A government amendment tabled in Theresa May&#8217;s name also challenges MPs to &#8220;respect the wishes&#8221; of voters in the referendum and calls on Article 50 to be invoked by the 31 March 2017.</p>
<p>The British Prime Minister will hope the move fends off a potential Commons rebellion as up to 40 Tory backbenchers were thought to be ready to back a Labour motion calling for her to set out her Brexit plan.</p>
<p>An amendment in the name of Mrs May will accept the Labour motion, allowing potentially rebellious Tories to back it, prominent Eurosceptic Steve Baker revealed in a tweet.<br />

<p>But it will also challenge them to <i>&#8220;respect the wishes&#8221;</i> of voters in the referendum and call on the Government to trigger Article 50 by the end of March &#8211; in accordance with the timetable set out by the PM.</p>
<p>A Downing Street spokesman stressed that the amendment was <i>&#8220;a separate issue&#8221;</i> from the Government&#8217;s Supreme Court battle to overturn a ruling that it should obtain Parliament&#8217;s approval before triggering Article 50.</p>
<p>The spokesman added: <i>&#8220;The Prime Minister has been clear that we will set out our plans in due course. That remains the position.</i></p>
<p><i>&#8220;We won&#8217;t be showing our negotiating hand until we have to, but we have not suggested we will not set out the position. That&#8217;s what the amendment goes to.&#8221;</i></p>
<p>Mr Baker urged his Tory colleagues to back the amendment.</p>
<p>He told the Press Association: <i>&#8220;Every Conservative MP should respect the result by voting with the Government on this excellent amendment to trigger Article 50 on the Prime Minister&#8217;s schedule.&#8221;</i></p>
<p>Mrs May&#8217;s move also allows Tories to back Labour&#8217;s motion, which acknowledges that some elements of the negotiating position should remain secret but urges the Prime Minister to &#8220;commit to publishing the Government&#8217;s plan for leaving the EU&#8221; before triggering Article 50.</p>
