- With Bill intended to rule out no deal Brexit likely to pass in Commons, the
major event of the day will be whether gov'ts motion to call early election

stating 'It's on', referring to election. 
- Motion to be presented after 1900BST, following 2nd and 3rd readings of
European Union (Withdrawal) (No.6) Bill. 
- A united front from opposition could be enough to defeat gov't again.
