The Brexit secretary has urged MPs to leave the bill for exiting the EU unchanged when it is debated in the Commons on Monday.<\/p>\n

David Davis said he will ask MPs to throw out measures to allow for a "meaningful" parliamentary vote on the final exit package.<\/p>\n

If MPs pass the bill, the prime minister could trigger Article 50 as early as Tuesday. <\/p>\n

Theresa May has said she would rather walk away than agree to a "bad deal".<\/p>\n

Monday will be the second time MPs debate and vote on the EU withdrawal bill.<\/p>\n

Mr Davis will also call on the Commons to consider a vote that guarantees the rights of EU citizens in the UK.<\/p>\n

"However they voted in the referendum, the majority of people now want the prime minister to be able to get on with the job," he said.<\/p>\n

The amendments were made to the Brexit bill after they were backed by a majority of peers, most recently last week.<\/p>\n

Labour, which claims it is the only party with a "radical vision" for Brexit, has also appealed to Mrs May to let them go through.<\/p>\n

The bill could complete its final stages on Monday if the Lords accepts the decisions made by MPs when it votes on it earlier in the day.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, an influential committee of MPs has said there was a real possibility the talks could end with no resolution and called on ministers to draw up a plan if a deal fails to be agreed.<\/p>\n

"It is clear from our evidence that a complete breakdown in negotiations represents a very destructive outcome, leading to mutually assured damage for the EU and the UK," the Commons foreign affairs committee said.<\/p>\n

"Both sides would suffer economic loss and harm to their international reputations."<\/p>\n

Failure to prepare for such outcome would be a "serious dereliction of duty," the MPs said.<\/p>\n

Brexit: All you need to know<\/p>\n

The UK's Brexit plans: Theresa May sets out her approach<\/p>\n

Shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry said the government had been "reckless" not to prepare for a Leave vote and also in its approach to Article 50 negotiations.<\/p>\n

"All we have heard from the government so far is that if there is no deal, they are prepared to "break the British economic model".<\/p>\n

"There are some very serious issues highlighted in this report which must be addressed. It is completely inadequate to brush these questions off and claim what would happen without a deal is "an exercise in guesswork"."<\/p>\n

The UK could trigger Article 50, the formal process for leaving the EU, as early as Tuesday, if MPs accept the amendments.<\/p>\n

Once Mrs May starts the process it will begin a two-year period of negotiation.<\/p>\n

Conservatives Alistair Burt and Jeremy Lefroy have said Parliament should have a proper role in the plans.<\/p>\n

Writing in the Mail on Sunday, they said there is "determination" by ministers to be involved in talks whether an agreement is reached and if there is a no deal.<\/p>\n

"There is an absolute logic that Parliament should be given a say in both circumstances but the government has been reluctant to agree to a vote in the case of no deal, arguing it would hamper negotiations.<\/p>\n

"But if the UK's stance is not weakened by having to seek a vote on a final deal, why should the government fear a vote on "no deal"?<\/p>\n

"Just because the consequences of a vote at the end of the process are immense, there is no reason to deny Parliament that vote."<\/p>\n
