The House of Commons has voted on eight EU withdrawal options but has failed to find a majority for any of them.

None of the alternatives won a Commons majority in the first round of indicative votes, after MPs seized control of the order paper from the government.

Several of the motions were heavily defeated, with only four rejected by majorities of lower than 100.

Labour MP Margaret Beckett's proposal for a "confirmatory" referendum to ratify any Brexit deal won the most votes, with 268, but 295 rejected it - a majority against of 27.

Ken Clarke's amendment calling for a deal with a customs union was only defeated by a majority of eight, gaining 264 votes but voted down by 272 - including the SNP's 35 MPs.

Both the Beckett and Clarke motions achieved greater Commons support than Theresa May's Brexit deal, which only won 242 votes in March 12's second "meaningful vote".

May's government has said it intends to hold a third vote on her twice-defeated Brexit deal this week.

The Prime Minister told a meeting of Tory MPs on Wedneday she would quit if her deal passes, before the second phase of Brexit negotiations begin.

She had been under pressure to so from many in her party, with Jacob Rees-Mogg and Boris Johnson among those suggesting after May's announcement they could now back her deal.

Speaking after the indicative votes were announced, Brexit secretary Stephen Barclay said the inconclusive result "strengthens the government's view that the Prime Minister's deal is the best option".

However, Speaker John Bercow earlier reiterated his warning to the PM that he would not allow a third vote on her deal if the motion remained substantially the same.

Meanwhile, the DUP has said it remains opposed to May's withdrawal agreement due to the party's issues with the Irish backstop.

MPs will be able to vote again on Brexit options next Monday, with the ones which garnered most support expected to be on the ballot paper, though it is unclear how many.

Among the motions in the first round of indicative votes was one tabled by SNP MP Joanna Cherry calling for Brexit to be cancelled if the UK reaches the day before exit day on April 12 without a deal.

It lost by 184 votes to 293 after Labour whipped its MPs to abstain, resulting in a majority of 109 against.

Other motions which were rejected included Labour's plan for a permanent customs union, other "softer" versions of Brexit, no-deal and managed no-deal.

Prior to the indicative votes result, MPs voted to move Britain's exit day from the EU to May 22 if a deal is approved, or April 12 if not, in line with what the European Council agreed last week.

The Scottish Parliament earlier backed by 89 votes to 28 a motion by the Greens which calls for the UK to revoke Article 50 - reversing Brexit - if there's not enough time to hold a second EU referendum.

STV News analysis shows that more than half a million people in Scotland have signed a petition asking for Article 50 to be revoked, which has gathered a record-breaking 5.88 million signatories across the UK.
