The proposal to hold a second referendum – the People's Vote – to let the public decide what to do recieved the most votes for from MPs, 280, but also received the most votes against with 292.

Staying in the EU Single Market and forming a temporary Customs Union was the third most popular option, with Parliamentary Supremacy - giving MPs the power to cancel Brexit if an extension beyond April 12 cannot be reached - the least popular option.

Here is how Sheffield and South Yorkshire's MPs voted on last night's votes.
