Parliament sits again after seasonal break
Parliament has resumed scrutiny of the legislation needed to implement the prime minister's Brexit deal.
Brexit Secretary Steve Barclay said the Withdrawal Agreement Bill would deliver on the "overwhelming mandate" his party had been given by the voters to take the UK out of the EU on 31 January.
MPs backed the bill at its first stage in late December.
It is expected to comfortably pass its remaining stages in the Commons by Thursday before moving to the Lords.
