Raab: Terms of meaningful vote on Brexit deal up to speaker

UK Brexit Minister Raab speaking

• Terms of meaningful vote on Brexit deal will be for speaker to decide
• Amendments to meaningful vote cannot delay or prevent Brexit
• important Parliament is presented with clear choice in meaningful vote on Brexit deal
• The Brexit deal motion will be amendable.
• We will hold a meaningful vote on Brexit deal expeditiously, but must be time for Parliament to scrutinize deal

Last week Raab upset some MPs after suggesting Parliament might not get a so-called "meaningful vote" on any Brexit deal (amend what PM May decides).
