Brexit vote: What time is the vote and when will we know the result? How to watch LIVE
PARLIAMENT will vote on Theresa May’s Brexit deal tonight, in what will be the most important moment in the Brexit process since the January defeat. Here is everything you need to know.
Brexit: Theresa May addresses Parliament ahead of vote
Prime Minister Theresa May is heading into the second day of reckoning for her Brexit deal, after the first saw MPs defeat it by a historic majority. The UK is due to leave the EU at 11pm on March 29, just 17 days away now. And with the debate still raging in Parliament, there is no guarantee the deal will pass this evening.
What time is the vote?
MPs will vote at 7pm on Tuesday, March 12.
When will we know the result?
As it’s just the one vote this evening (unlike last time when MPs also voted on a series of amendments before the big vote), we should know the results by about 7.15pm.

What could happen next?
If the vote passes, the UK will leave the EU on March 29 as planned, initiating a two-year transition period in which the EU and UK must negotiate a trade deal.
In that case, not much will really change for the average citizen, and laws will remain as is.
But if it fails tomorrow, as many are predicting, things are less certain.
Firstly, MPs have been promised an immediate vote on whether the UK should leave with no deal - which could take place as soon as Wednesday.
If they vote for no deal, the UK will leave on March 29 without a deal, automatically reverting to World Trade Organisation trade rules.
But if they reject a no deal, which most think is more likely, then another vote will follow, probably on Thursday, on whether to request a delay to Article 50 from the EU.
If that vote fails, the UK will leave the EU on March 29 without a deal.
If it passes, Mrs May will need to request an extension from the EU, which is likely to be granted.
Then, it’s anybody’s guess what will happen next.
The Prime Minister could try renegotiate a deal, or hold another referendum.
There is also the chance the government could be forced out in a motion of no confidence, leading to a general election.
