The Independent Group's amendment calls on the PM to 'take the steps needed now' to prepare for a public vote.

It comes after Labour announced it will back a second referendum on Britain's EU exit to prevent a"damaging Tory Brexit being forced on the country".

"This cross-party amendment would require the prime minister to take the steps needed now so the public could take control and break through the Brexit gridlock. There is no more time to waste.
