The party will stage a Commons vote on Wednesday on a motion calling for "proper scrutiny" - but this will not be binding on the government.

Ahead of the debate, Labour have asked 170 questions on Brexit, the questions included trade and migration.

The government promised Parliament an "important role" in discussions. However not a lot is known about plans for trade and migration as of yet.

Before triggering Article 50 next years ministers are being urged to give more detail on what Brexit will look like. Ed Miliband and other senior politicians are requesting a full vote on the UK's negations ahead of the discussions with the EU. The government however isn't keen for this to take place as they believe it will undermine the vote that took place in June.

Labour's Commons motion has not asked for a full vote on th Brexit neogtiations, it has however asked for a "full and transparent" debate. This would enable them to scrutinise the plan ahead of Article 50. Members of Parliament are due to vote on this motion today, the result will not be binding on minsiters.

The government has tabled an amendment to the motion, stating that negotiations for Brexit must be handled in a way that "respects the decision" reached in the referendum.

It adds that parliamentary scrutiny must not be allowed "undermine the [UK's] negotiating position".

The BBC's political correspondent Iain Watson has provided an analysis of the above stating the following.

Ever since the referendum, the Labour leadership has been criticised by pro-EU backbenchers for not doing enough to scrutinise the government's plans for leaving the European Union.

But now the new shadow minister for Brexit, Sir Keir Starmer - along with Emily Thornberry - seems to be making up for lost time.

Although the precise number of questions is a little gimmicky, they address some issues which business leaders also want answered - for example, whether the government has decided the UK should leave the single market and if so, if it would still abide by its regulations.

And a number of Conservative MPs are likely to participate in Wednesday's parliamentary debate on Brexit - also calling for more transparency from the government.

Labour's 170 questions - one for each day before the end of March, the government's self-imposed deadline for triggering Article 50 - come from the new shadow Brexit secretary, Sir Keir Starmer, and Ms Thornberry.

Ms Thornberry told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "We have a government who are about to make major decisions on behalf of this country and they want to go into a locked room and fight it out amongst themselves and come out with some plan that they want to keep secret.

"We publish 170 questions today that we expect the government to answer, at least to have some idea about, at least to have thought about, before they go and trigger article 50."

The questions challenge the government to say which possible trading models it has ruled out, how it intends to manage EU migration, whether it will guarantee the rights of EU citizens currently in the UK and how it will compensate recipients of EU grants beyond 2020.

The prime minister's spokeswoman said: "We've always said that Parliament has an important role to play, and the amendment reflects that.

"But we also believe this should be done in a way that respects the decision of the people of the UK when they voted to leave the EU on 23 June and does not undermine the negotiating position of the government as negotiations are entered into... after Article 50 has been triggered."
