Here it is - “unity amendment”
“Customs Arrangement as part of the framework for the future partnership”

Signed by
Oliver Letwin
Nicky Morgan
Bill Cash
Jacob Rees Mogg
Stephen Hammond
John Hayes
John Baron
Theresa Villiers

Quite a collection of Tory MPs who fundamentally disagree on the direction of travel on Brexit - and the amendment only commits to a Government statement “outlining steps” towards a “customs arrangement” by 31st Oct 2018.
Another fudegorama.
No Grieve, Soubry, etc...

Indeed the only way to get Rees Mogg and Nicky Morgan to sign the same amendment on customs might well be if it is fundamentally meaningless, you might say, - the wording seems to do not much more but give the PM one more shot at June council...

Government source confirms will accept Letwin “customs arrangement” amendment - hasn’t worked with all Remainer rebels re Wed vote - but probably enough... seem to have accepted idea that this is better dealt with in Trade & Customs Bills. Others fear we might not get to those.

“A” customs arrangement not “the” 💁🏽‍♂️

Looks like Nicky Morgan backing Government on meaningful vote tomorrow too...

Ah - but new news reaches me from the bowels of Parliament of Dominc Grieve having tabled a compromise amendment on the "meaningful vote" and that a number of rebels say they will vote for Lords amendment if Government dont accept... Vote tomorrow.

Grieve spotted dining with the Chief Whip... cant get hold of compromise amendment - Government had vowed not to give any more than a promise to update the Commons 28 days after commons votes down Withdrawal Deal

Grieve confirms to @maitlis what I heard - he has tabled a compromise amendment, if government doesnt accept it, he will vote against government on meaningful vote

Only copy of Grieve amendment with clerks

* Requires not just a statement but motion tabled in Commons if deal voted down
* If No Deal by 30 Nov – motion sought from Hoc for approval
* If No Deal by 15 feb, then within 5 days, must bring a motion which
will be binding on Govt

Grieve Amendment on “meaningful vote”
