    What is the Letwin amendment and will it pass?

    The amendment - named after the MP who put it forward, Sir Oliver Letwin - would withhold support for the deal and delay Brexit until all the necessary legislation is in place.

    It is based on the concern that even if Parliament approved a deal today, there is a danger the legislation could somehow run into problems later down the line, and cause a no-deal Brexit.
    This amendment, by provisionally approving the Brexit deal but also forcing Boris Johnson to ask the EU for a delay, it aims to avoid any chance of a no-deal.
