The PM has urged MPs to back the schedule and get the bill through the Commons, saying: "The public doesn't want any more delays, neither do other European leaders and neither do I."
But opposition MPs said the three-day time frame does not allow enough time to adequately scrutinise the bill.

Facebook steps up measures to fight spread of fake news at next UK election
The social network has said it will set up a dedicated operations centre if a general election is called.
From next week, adverts relating to social issues such as immigration, health and the environment will have to go through the same verification process as political adverts, which require advertisers to share who they are and where they live.
But Facebook maintains that as a private company it is not their responsibility to be "setting the rules of the game or calling the shots".
