The prime minister said she will put her withdrawal agreement - including any changes she has agreed with the EU - to a meaningful vote by 12 March.
If that fails, MPs will be offered two separate votes:
- One, on the following day, on whether MPs support a no-deal Brexit - so the UK would "only leave without a deal on 29 March if there is explicit consent in the House for that outcome"
- If that fails, then MPs will get a vote by 14 March on requesting an extension to the two-year Article 50 negotiation process to delay EU withdrawal beyond 29 March
"Let me be clear, I do not want to see Article 50 extended," she told MPs.
"Our absolute focus should be on working to get a deal and leaving on 29 March."
Any extension should not go beyond the end of June and "would almost certainly have to be a one-off", she added.
