While the 1922 Committee Chairman’s amendment passed by 317 votes to 301, there was a bit of rebel-trading between the two main parties. Seven Labour MPs voted in favour of the amendment, defying their party, while eight Conservative MPs rebelled by voting against it. Uniquely tonight, one of them – Anne Marie Morris – comes not from the pro-EU end of the Parliamentary Conservative Party but from the ERG.
The eight are:
Heidi Allen
Guto Bebb
Ken Clarke
Dominic Grieve
Phillip Lee
Anne Marie Morris
Anna Soubry
Sarah Wollaston
As Paul has already recorded elsewhere on the site, the seven Labour pro-Brady rebels were as follows:
Ian Austin
Kevin Barron
Jim Fitzpatrick
Roger Godsiff
Kate Hoey
John Mann
Graham Stringer
