MPs face a "stark" choice between a short delay to Brexit - if they back Theresa May's deal - or a much longer one if they reject it, a minister said.
David Lidington - Mrs May's second-in-command - was speaking ahead of a vote later on delaying the UK's departure from the EU on 29 March.
The PM will make a third attempt to get MPs to back her deal in the next week.
If it fails again, Mr Lidington said MPs would get two weeks to decide what they wanted to do instead.
The government would allow MPs to hold a series of votes on possible ways forward on Brexit, indicated the cabinet office minister.
