British MPs have started a two-day heated debate on Brexit legislation, ahead of a vote due on Wednesday.
The government was forced to table a Brexit Bill by the UK's Supreme Court.
If it wins approval Prime Minister Theresa May will be able to trigger Article 50, which begins formal negotiations on the UK's exit from the EU.
The bill is expected to pass because MPs from the opposition Labour Party are being ordered to back it.
