On 25 March 2019 Parliament voted by a majority of 27 votes (Ayes: 327, Noes: 300) to support an amendment brought by Sir Oliver Letwin MP to hold a series of indicative votes on 27 March 2019. The Government sought to block indicative votes on 27 March 2019 and was again defeated, this time by a majority of 44 (Ayes: 331, Noes: 287). I voted in favour of indicative votes owing to the Government’s failure to seek consensus across Parliament on a way forward.
