MPs are to hold more votes to try to agree a way forward, as the PM hints at the prospect of an election.
A letter sent by Tory MPs to Theresa May urging her to pursue a no deal Brexit was organised by a minister, according to Sky Sources.
It ramps up the pressure on the embattled prime minister as she considers a last-ditch attempt to save her Brexit deal after suffering a third defeat in the Commons.
One of the MPs who signed the letter said it was two paragraphs long and called on her not to move towards adopting a customs union.
Three separate sources told Sky News it had been organised by a sitting minister.
Mrs May is weighing up her next steps after her deal was voted down by 286 votes to 344.
She said the implications of the vote were “grave”, adding: “I fear we are reaching the limits of this process in this House”.
The Prime Minister has been urged by some in her own cabinet to embrace a no-deal Brexit.
Sky News political editor Faisal Islam said a delegation of ministers went to Downing Street after the vote to urge the PM to reject a softer Brexit and go for no deal.

BNC News has had a look into things that did kot last as long as Brexit.
Whatever you think about Brexit – or even if you try not to think about it at all – we can probably all agree on one thing.
It has gone on for a long, long time.
We’re more than 1,000 days on from when the UK voted to leave the European Union and it seems politicians are only now entering the endgame. Maybe.
Some examples mentioned in the article are: Building The Titanic, Travelling to Mars, The entire plot of Gane of Thrones, the construction of the Eiffel Tower and the lifecycle of a hamster.
I think it is important – also concerning important things – to have humour and to be able and laught now and then. This article certainly made me laugh.

This is the day. At 11pm tonight the United Kingdom should have left the European Union.
Two years after the article 50 was triggered to leave, after the referendum.
Now UK has asked for a delay of article 50, which was granted by the EU for 12 April or 22 May – if the Withdrawal Agreement (WA) passes the Parliment this week.
So this afternoon there will be a third Meaningful Vote. This time House of Commons will vote only on the WA, not the political declaration that is pointing our the way forward for the future relations.
Will the WA get enough number of vote today to get approved? It is dofficult to see how this could happen, even though nothing is impossible.
