Councillors in Ealing will tonight (December 20) debate Rupa Huq's stance on voting to block Article 50 along with a call for a second referendum.
At a full council meeting, Liberal Democrat Cllr Jon Ball will propose the council supports the Ealing Central and Acton MP's stance to vote against Article 50.
He will further propose the council should back a second referendum between a final Brexit deal following negotiations, and a choice of remaining within the European Union.
Dr Huq said earlier this month she will vote against Article 50.
Under the motion titled "Ealing's Place in Europe - the way forward", Cllr Ball will propose: "This council reaffirms its belief as agreed on 12 April that both Ealing and the United Kingdom would be better staying within the European Union, rather than leaving.
"This council notes that in the referendum on June 23, over 60% of Ealing residents voted to remain in the European Union.
"This council supports Rupa Huq MP in her stance that she will vote against the repeal of the European Communities Act 1972 and against the enactment of Article 50, and calls upon the other two Ealing MPs to make similar commitments.
"This council calls upon the government to act swiftly to reassure all citizens of other EU states living in Ealing that they will be allowed to stay in the UK."
His motion went on to say in the event that a final Brexit deal is negotiated, the British people should have their say on it in a referendum between the new arrangement and remaining inside the European Union.
Cllr Ball proposed the council instructs the chief executive to send copies of the motion to the Prime Minister and the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union.
On June 23, Britain voted to leave the EU in a referendum, with a result of 52% to 48%.
However, Britain must trigger Article 50 in order to start the process of leaving, and last month the High Court ruled that parliament must vote on whether or not the UK can trigger it, rather than the government on its own.
Commenting on her stance, Dr Huq previously said: "Most people voted to depart but they did not vote for a particular destination.
"I have also made it clear that I believe any package to exit the EU must be subject to a referendum or general election, and therefore I will not be granting an unelected Prime Minister a blank cheque to withdraw fundamental rights from UK citizens by forcing us to leave on outdated monarchical powers."
