Theresa May says she does not have enough support to win a vote on her EU withdrawal deal "as things stand".
She said she would continue trying to get MPs to back it before putting it to the Commons for a third time this week.
The PM will also order Tory MPs to vote against a bid by a group of MPs, headed by Tory Sir Oliver Letwin, to hold votes on alternatives to her plan.
The government would give MPs time to hold such votes, but Mrs May said she was "sceptical" about the process.
She said the government would not commit to delivering the outcome of the votes but would "engage constructively" with MPs.
