Brexit: Labour MPs to hold no-confidence vote in Jeremy Corbyn - as it happened

Outside the chamber the Labour resignations continue. Keir Starmer has resigned as shadow immigration minister.

Asked about the prospect of a second referendum, Cameron says he is not planning one. We have to implement the referendum result, he says.

Simon Hoare, a Conservative, mentions a tweet sent to a black Londoner telling her to go home with the hashtag #wevotedleave. He says the racist attacks and insults since the referendum suggest a genie has been let out of the bottle. Will the government make it clear this is unacceptable? And do the police have the resources they need?

Cameron says people thought language of this kind had been banished. He says the police have the resources and laws they need to tackle this.

Cameron says he called the Polish prime minister earlier today to say that the government is taking anti-Polish attacks very seriously and that it is doing everything it can to protect Poles in the UK.

Back in the Commons, Labour’s Pat McFadden says Boris Johnson in his Telegraph article this morning said he wanted the UK to have full access to the single market. Is there any country with full access to the single market that does not allow free movement of labour?

Cameron says there is no country with full access to the single market that does not also pay a contribution and allow free movement.

Ireland’s foreign minister has described the surge in Irish passport applications from people living in post-Brexit UK as “unnecessary.”

Charlie Flanagan has appealed today for calm in relation to passport applications.

Ahead of a debate about Brexit’s implications for the Republic in the Dail (Irish parliament) Flanagan said:

An unnecessary surge in applications for Irish passports will place significant pressure on the system and on turnaround times and is likely to impact those with a genuine need for passports to facilitate imminent travel plans.

The increased interest clearly points to a sense of concern among some UK passport holders that the rights they enjoy as EU citizens are about to abruptly end. I want to state clearly that this is not the case. The United Kingdom has voted to leave the European Union but it has not yet left.

It will take some time for negotiations on a British exit to conclude; article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty envisages a two-year negotiation process once the article is triggered, while many speculate this could take longer. During this period, the UK remains a member of the European Union, its citizens continue to fully enjoy EU rights including free movement of people within the EU. At the same time, the referendum has not in any way changed the entitlement to an Irish passport which extends to those born on the island of Ireland and those claiming citizenship through parents or grandparents born in Ireland.

Chris Leslie, the Labour MP, says article 50 should not be triggered until the new year.

Cameron says this is a matter for the new prime minister.

Alex Salmond, the former Scottish first minister, says at 9am this morning Boris Johnson said the pound was stable. At lunchtime it hit a 31-year low against the dollar. If you break it, you own it, he says. Who is responsible for this mess?

Cameron says it was the government’s decision to hold a referendum.

The Germans are now asking themselves whether they - or more specifically Angela Merkel - might not be to blame in part for Britons wanting to leave the EU.

Jan Fleischauer, writing in Der Spiegel, under the headline “Is Angela Merkel to Blame for Brexit?” suggests:

If we really want to take stock of the reasons for Brexit, we have to talk about refugee politics. You will never be able to prove what part Merkel’s policy of open borders had to play in the outcome of the referendum. But that the pictures of the refugees’ trek towards Bavaria scared the crap out of many Britons, is a given. If not even the disciplined Germans are willing or able to protect their borders, who else is capable of managing it?

Yvette Cooper, the former shadow home secretary, says the arrangements Cameron described for consulting MPs were too weak. He just said MPs could have a cosy chat with Oliver Letwin. Why won’t he set up a joint committee to consider these issues?

Cameron says he does want the Commons to be fully engaged.
