The opposition leader, Jeremy Corbyn, has made a statement following the government’s defeat where MPs voted to seize control of indicative votes process from the government by a majority of 27.
- The government must take this process seriously.
- This house must now find a solution.
- This house must consider whether any deal should be put to the people for a vote.
- Where this gov has failed, this house will succeed.
The main motion has now been passed by 327 votes to 300 – a majority of 27 which reinforces the Letwin vote, because the main motion is now basically the Letwin amendment.
