While there was general expectation that there would be some Conservative votes for the Cooper/Boles proposal which involved delaying Article 50 by nine months, it is quite remarkable that a dozen Conservative MPs even rebelled to vote for Rachel Reeves’ amendment, which proposed a two-year delay to Article 50.

Of the original 15 supporters of the Grieve amendment, three didn’t fancy this one – Heidi Allen and Ed Vaizey abstained, while Sir Nicholas Soames voted against it.

Here is the full list of rebels:

• Guto Bebb
• Nick Boles
• Ken Clarke
• Jonathan Djanogly
• Justine Greening
• Dominic Grieve
• Sam Gyimah
• Phillip Lee
• Oliver Letwin
• Antoinette Sandbach
• Anna Soubry
• Sarah Wollaston
