Brexit bill set for final vote in the House of Commons

    The bill empowering the government to begin the formal process of leaving the European Union is due to reach its final stages in the Commons later.

  MPs will debate further amendments to the Brexit bill, allowing Article 50 to be triggered for up to seven hours before a final vote due later today.
  The vote could cause more Labour rifts with its MPs told to back the bill.
  Just yesterday, the government saw off attempts to add conditions to the bill, as a Tory rebellion was avoided.
The vote means the government has now cleared two days of debate in the Commons without the bill being amended.
