    Political Reporter, BBC Radio Lincolnshire

    The government's facing growing calls to allow MPs a vote on the terms of any deal to leave the European Union. 

    Politicians on all sides including Lincolnshire's Stephen Phillips are arguing that the referendum result does not mean people wanted "hard Brexit", with potentially no access to the single market.

    Downing Street says there won't be a vote. The Brexit Secretary, David Davies, is due to brief MPs shortly on the next steps for leaving the EU.
