Swayne nodded off during a speech by Remain-supporting MP Ken Clarke. The MP later said that many days of debate on the issue had worn him down.

MPs are due to vote on Wednesday on whether the bill, which will hand powers to the British government to rewrite Britain's entire legal settlement once we leave the EU, should pass to the House of Lords later this year.
