Boris Johnson has made a concession to soft Brexit Tories - amendment for "parliament to have its say on merits of an extension period" in 2020 if no free trade agreement. Will it be enough to persaude Gauke, Hammond, Stewart to vote for programme motion?

And as I type, the 2nd reading has passed.
