He told The Take with Sophy Ridge programme:"You'll have to ask the chief whip about that, I'm afraid. The chief whip is in charge of parliamentary business."I am not going to tell you what the votes are or are not going to be."parliament will get to"express its view"But after PMQs, the PM's spokesman said the talks are"still ongoing" and he did not want to"get ahead" of the talks when asked if MPs will be able to vote on the plan.
