Lord Callanan (Conservative), minister of state in the Department for Exiting the EU, proposed a motion that the House takes note of further developments in discussions with the EU under Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty.

Members discussed negotiations between the prime minister and the European Commission, terms of any backstop arrangement on the Irish border, and terms of any possible extension of the Article 50 process.

Lord Callanan's motion was agreed without a division (a vote).
