The wealthy businesswoman and campaigner, who was the public face of the legal action in the High Court over giving parliament a say in the country leaving the EU, has now said that the House of Lords, the country’s upper house, should also be given a “proper debate” on the issue.

Ms Miller said that if the Supreme Court rejects the Government appeal against the High Court ruling, Mrs May should not try to bypass the Lords.

She told The Daily Telegraph: "[There needs to be] proper debate in both houses and an act of Parliament. A resolution or a motion wouldn't be debated in both houses."

The move, should it happen, may prove to be an issue for Prime Minister Theresa May as the Conservatives do not have a majority in the Lords.

MPs were warned they would be attempting to 'thwart' the will of the people if they refused to endorse the plans.

The run-up to the debate on a Labour opposition motion was dominated by a major U-turn from Mrs May.
