Mt Johnson has been trying to convince MPs to support the agreement he secured with the EU, ahead of what is expected to be a knife-edge vote in the House of Commons.
Mt Johnson's former DUP allies and opposition parties plan to vote against it.
Brexit Secretary Stephen Barclay says the vote could be "close" but the government has "listened to the concerns of MPs across all sides".
He says it is now time for MPs to step up to their responsibility to get this deal passed, and allow the country to move forward.
