UPDATE 1-How will UK parliament's "indicative votes" on Brexit work?
Below is how the process will work: WHAT OPTIONS MIGHT BE INCLUDED IN ANY VOTE?
Lawmakers have until the end of parliamentary business on Tuesday to put forward alternative Brexit options, but at least seven proposals have been floated: 1) A no deal exit
2) Revoking Article 50 and staying in the EU 3) Holding a second referendum on Brexit
4) Prime Minister Theresa May's deal 5) An enhanced Canada-style free trade agreement
6) A customs union with the EU, something the opposition Labour Party has proposed in their alternative plan 7) An enhanced Norway-style deal dubbed Common Market 2.0, which would include membership of the EU's single market, as well as a customs arrangement with the EU.
HOW WILL THE OPTIONS BE CHOSEN? The debate is due to start by 1500 GMT. Commons Speaker John Bercow will select which of the proposals put forward by lawmakers will be put to a vote.
HOW WILL LAWMAKERS VOTE? The options selected by the Speaker will be included on a ballot paper and lawmakers will be asked to vote "aye" or "noe" to each of them. They will be able to vote for as many of the proposals as they wish.
Conservative lawmaker Oliver Letwin, who led the process to seize control from the government, told parliament on Monday that lawmakers would have to be willing to support more than one option in order to find a majority. "We will all have to seek compromise. We almost know that if we all vote for our first preference, we will never get to a majority solution," he said. "I do not believe there is a majority in favour of the first preferences of any person in this House."
WHAT TIME WILL THE RESULT BE ANNOUNCED? Lawmakers are due to take control of parliamentary business at 1400 GMT. The debate is due to end at 1900 GMT and lawmakers will then be given 30 minutes to record their votes.
The Speaker can then announce the results at any time before the close of parliamentary business. It is expected after 2100 GMT. The result could show no majority for any option, a majority for several options or even a majority for all options.
WILL THIS BE THE END OF IT? Lawmakers have set out that they plan to take control of parliamentary business again on Monday, April 1 for another debate on Britain's exit from the European Union.
Earlier, opposition Labour lawmaker Hilary Benn, chair of parliament's Brexit committee, told BBC Radio this could be used to carry out a similar process again in order to further narrow down the options. DOES THE GOVERNMENT HAVE TO ACCEPT THE RESULT?
The votes would not be binding on the government. May said on Monday she could not commit the government to delivering the outcome of any votes held as parliament might vote for something which was unnegotiable with the EU, or which contradicted her party's 2017 election promises.
Conservative lawmaker Nick Boles told BBC TV on Monday night that if the government refused to reflect the wishes of parliament, lawmakers would bring forward legislation seeking to force it to do so. HAVE INDICATIVE VOTES HAPPENED BEFORE?
Yes. In 2003, lawmakers were given seven different options for proposed reform of parliament's unelected upper chamber, the House of Lords, but no options garnered a majority. (Additional reporting by Elizabeth Piper; editing by Stephen Addison)
