THE north's parties have tabled amendments to the British government's Brexit bill in a last-ditch bid to seek changes.
The bill is due to return to the House of Commons next week, but the chances of defeating the government are slim given the Tory majority.
The UK is set to leave the European Union on January 31.
Last month parliament overwhelmingly backed British prime minister Boris Johnson's Brexit deal, but Northern Ireland MPs voted against it.
The list of amendments tabled by opposition MPs so far was published yesterday. It will be for the speaker's office to decide which are selected for debate.
The DUP, which opposes Boris's Brexit deal, has submitted 14 amendments ahead of next week's votes.
Alliance North Down MP Stephen Farry has submitted numerous proposals, while the SDLP is also understood to have tabled amendments.
Labour has tabled an amendment calling for the government to extend the transition period – when the UK would stick to Brussels rules – to 2023 if a trade deal is not reached by June.
The government has vowed to leave the EU on January 31 and has ruled out extending the transition period beyond the end of this year.
Labour has also proposed an economic impact assessment of the Northern Ireland arrangements in the Brexit deal on the region's economy and on the movement of goods to and from Britain.
