:00:31. > :00:36.Speaking this morning, he said that it would not be acceptable

:00:37. > :00:40.for Parliament to try to reverse the will of the British people.

:01:01. > :01:04.tomorrow and the government is warning MPs including potential

:01:05. > :01:11.rebels on its own side not to stand on its way. What we cannot have is

:01:12. > :01:15.the either house of Parliament reversing the decision of the

:01:16. > :01:22.British people. They have not got a veto. What does it mean otherwise?

:01:23. > :01:27.This is how the timetable has unfolded. Last week the Lords passed

:01:28. > :01:30.the second of two amendments to the government's Article 50 bill and

:01:31. > :01:34.tomorrow the bill goes to the Commons, where MPs could reject the

:01:35. > :01:39.amendments had passed the bill back to the Lords and if the upper house

:01:40. > :01:43.backed down a bill will proceed to Royal assent, allowing Theresa May

:01:44. > :01:48.to trigger Article 50. If the Lords does not back down it could go back

:01:49. > :01:53.to the Commons in a process known as ping-pong and labour insists it will

:01:54. > :01:56.fight for the amendments Distin. What we say to the Prime Minister

:02:07. > :02:10.issues, the EU nationals and the vote, reflect on that, don't have

:02:11. > :02:15.this obsession with getting Article 50 triggered this week. The Prime

:02:16. > :02:20.Minister has done the legwork with EU partners ahead of triggering

:02:21. > :02:24.Brexit but some are worried there is not enough planning going on for the

:02:25. > :02:29.prospect of no deal at the end of it. If there is going to be no deal

:02:30. > :02:34.it will have serious implications for businesses and individuals and

:02:35. > :02:38.the government needs to ensure we have planned for it. But the Brexit

:02:39. > :02:44.Secretary says he has a plan. The simple truth is we have been

:02:45. > :02:48.planning for all the possible outcomes of the negotiations.

:02:49. > :02:53.Including a proper plan for no deal? Yes. Whatever the plan may be the

:02:54. > :02:54.government has to get permission from this place first before it can

:02:55. > :03:06.get negotiations going. There has been scathing criticism

:03:27. > :03:31.Theresa May has dealt with the issue and he points to the loss of the

:03:32. > :03:34.seat in Richmond, the by-election where Zac Goldsmith lost to the

:03:35. > :03:40.Liberal Democrats and he says it is a bigger issue for a lot of Tories

:03:41. > :03:46.than the conservative wing in coats and when they beat Labour. What he

:03:47. > :03:50.says is that the Conservatives are not just following the ringmaster,

:03:51. > :03:51.they have their own views on Europe and concerns and they want the Prime
