Confirmed:
Foreign Office have just announced, today, in a Written Ministerial Statement today that Sir Alan Duncan is attending (as I was told) the Luxembourg EU Foreign Affairs Council on Monday, the day of the Heathrow vote, not the Foreign Secretary.

More detail:
the Heathrow vote is not until 10pm on Monday night - but the Luxembourg Foreign Affairs Council is from 9:30am till 5:30pm CET - so whoever goes, and I was told it was the Minister of State, could make it back for vote if for example, he has the Govt plane

...monthly Foreign Affairs Council in Luxembourg on Monday...EU Foreign Sec meeting - which could see Boris Johnson abroad on the day of Heathrow vote...
But it is my understanding that Sir Alan Duncan is due to go.
Indeed of the 5 FACs so far in 2018, Johnson has been to two

The Heathrow vote to approve the Airports National Policy Statement is on Monday... Labour did offer to make it a free vote - not taken up, so we now have a minister on the flight path resigning... but what about errr other ministers?

Jacob Rees Mogg speaking to me live after vote said it is clear that a neutral motion is not amendable, quoting the standing orders: “the Speaker will follow the norms of Parliamentary procedure and will not take a cavalier or high handed approach”

Told by one Labour rebel that the Customs Bill calculations are “entirely different” - sounding quite supportive of frontbench position on comprehensive customs union. They’ll be watching for how frictionless the Government white paper is the test will be “no barriers to trade”

Six Tory rebels voted for Grieve amendment though not including Grieve... four Labour voted against it... Denis Skinner ringing around and persuading Ronnie Campbell not to rebel, apparently... short answer.. could have been defeated with 8 more rebels. pic.twitter.com/7PuTzLTVih

But as the House of Commons Library conclude “the House is free to agree to disapply Standing Order” which may be the small sandbank upon which this compromise exist... hence WMS that it is up to the Speaker commonslibrary.parliament.uk/brexit/grieve-… pic.twitter.com/PEQq6Xcjfl

So Grieve agrees to back the Government after saying he co-wrote last paragraph of written ministerial statement... the neutral motion that will now be specified in the Bill, is under the standing order of the Commons (24B) “no amendments the it may be tabled” pic.twitter.com/kKM3TUgADK
