Theresa May will ask MPs to vote only on the withdrawal agreement element of her Brexit deal on Friday, challenging parliament to back it on the day the UK was originally meant to leave the EU.
Ministers will argue that passing the withdrawal agreement, while setting aside the political declaration governing the future relationship, would allow the UK more time to try to pass its full Brexit deal.
The EU has said the UK will have to leave on 11 April if no deal is passed, but would grant an extension to 22 May if the withdrawal agreement goes through.
This could give the UK more time to renegotiate the political declaration, which Labour does not support because it does not include a customs union.
