Jeremy Corbyn has tabled a motion of no confidence in Theresa May, after she said MPs would not vote on her Brexit deal until the week of 14 January.
The PM had delayed the vote from last week, admitting she was set to lose.
Labour leader Mr Corbyn said on Monday it was unacceptable for MPs to wait a month to vote, adding the PM had led the UK into a "national crisis".
But No 10 sources told the BBC the government would not make time for the no-confidence vote.
Ministers would not "go along with silly political games", they added.
Mr Corbyn tabled the motion calling on MPs to declare they have "no confidence in the prime minister due to her failure to allow the House of Commons to have a meaningful vote straightaway" on the Brexit deal.
The motion focuses on Mrs May personally, rather than the government.
BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg said the motion could have been embarrassing for Mrs May, but as things stood, ministers would not allow time for it to be debated.
She said No 10 had effectively "batted the ball back to Labour to see if they have the guts" to call for a vote of no confidence in the government as a whole.
Unlike a vote targeting the PM, a motion of no confidence in the government could bring about an early general election if it is supported by a majority of MPs.
The SNP, the Lib Dems, Plaid Cymru and the Greens have tried to force Labour to bring about that situation, by trying to amend Mr Corbyn's motion.
But Mr Corbyn said his aim in tabling the motion was to put pressure on her to have a vote on her Brexit deal this week.
Mrs May's Brexit deal sets out the terms of Britain's exit from the EU - on 29 March 2019 - and includes a declaration on the outline of the future relations between the UK and the EU.
But the deal only comes into force if both parliaments approve it.
Mrs May told MPs they would have the chance to vote on the deal she negotiated with Brussels in the third week of January. A 'wasted' month
Mr Corbyn said by then a month would have been wasted since the original 11 December vote was postponed, with "not a single word renegotiated and not a single reassurance given".
"The deal is unchanged and is not going to change," he said.
"The House must get on with the vote and move on to consider the realistic alternatives."
However, Mr Corbyn came under fire from other opposition parties for limiting his no-confidence motion to the prime minister.
SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon tweeted: "Labour tabling a motion just in the PM rather than in the entire government begs the question, which Tory do they want to see as PM?"
And Nigel Dodds, of Northern Ireland's DUP, which has propped up the Conservative government since June 2017, said: "We are not interested in the parliamentary antics or play-acting of the Labour Party."
But Mr Corbyn told reporters late on Monday: "We haven't failed to trigger any process. It's this government that is denying Parliament the right to vote on this process, that's why I tabled the motion." Media captionJeremy Corbyn: May taking shambolic government to new level
Mrs May appeared to have the support of pro-Brexit backbench critics who last week failed in a bid to oust her as Tory leader.
One of them, Steve Baker, said: "Eurosceptic Conservatives are clear that we accept the democratic decision of our party to have confidence in Theresa May as PM. We will vote against Labour in any confidence motion."
Ihave just made a will, to see what i leave goes the people I want, and my children. I remember when my parents died, it was such a pain waiting for probate.
Everyone says oh there is plenty of time for that. Wrong your number could come up at anytime.
I did mine through the British Legion, they get cut rates for you, and put you in touch with several solicitors in your area. Spare your loved ones more grief and do it.

Ever get the feeling your personal history keeps repeating itself? Sarah Wilson introduces the concept of 'life scripts' and suggests some recurrent themes you may recognise ... Ref Sarah Wilson
According to cognitive psychology, each of us has a life script or schema - whether we are aware of it or not. A life script is another way of describing the meaning we attribute to the events that happen to us. Depending on our particular script, we can interpret an event in a number of different ways.
Psychologists believe that our life scripts are usually created in childhood. Understanding our particular script can help us to see how it might be influencing our thoughts, and may help us to come up with more positive thoughts and actions.
Your life script is individual to you, but many follow a common theme. To uncover your own life script, it helps to explore the patterns in your life - particularly if you suspect that there are destructive themes in your script.

'People always leave me'
This is the fear that we will always be abandoned by those we love, no matter what we do. We anticipate being left, perhaps because of misfortune, illness, or someone better coming along. Because of this, we act defensively, and may try to drive people away, to pre-empt their desertion.
Could this be you?
• You wait for invitations rather than invite people to events, as proof of your popularity.
• You get jealous very easily, and invent reasons for arguments, to test people's love.
'I always put other people first'
The desire to look after others and subjugate our needs and desires to theirs. This may arise from guilt over feeling selfish, or the need to be connected to those we perceive as helpless. Often results in resentment towards others.
Could this be you?
• You go out of your way to do favours for other people.
• You feel that you are more generous than the people around you.
'I'm not good enough'
The belief that we are somehow inferior or defective, and that one day we will be exposed as such. This may cause us to become overly sensitive to criticism or comparison, and we may take any perceived rejection as confirmation of our failings.
Could this be you?
• You self-sabotage, creating excuses for your anticipated failure.
• You avoid competitive situations - even playing board games or sports - because you fear coming last.
'I can't do it on my own'
The assertion that we are too weak, or not intelligent enough to perform everyday duties without help. Often leads to dependency in relationships.
Could this be you?
• You're attracted to people who you see as being stronger than you are.
• You're the first to admit that you lack common sense, or that you're hopeless around the house.
'Bad things happen to me more than they do to other people'
May result in an exaggerated fear of disaster and a belief that we are particularly vulnerable to things such as attack or disease. Often characterised by excessive worry and strong feelings of helplessness.
Could this be you?
• You find it easy to imagine the worst possible outcome.
• You have regularly been accused of being overly cautious and protective.
'I deserve this'
The belief that we are in some way superior to other people and that we are therefore entitled to more. May also lead to the assertion that we should be allowed to do whatever we want, and a lack of empathy for others.
Could this be you?
• You feel that other people don't recognise your talents or abilities.
Hundreds of yellow-vested protesters calling for the resignation of Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel marched on Saturday on the European quarter of Brussels, as the movement that started in France made its mark in Belgium and the Netherlands. Police used pepper spray and scuffled with a small group of protesters who tried to break through their barricade blocking access to the European Parliament and the European Union's other main institutions. The rallies, which started at different locations around the city and converged on the European quarter, have disrupted road and rail traffic on one of the busiest Christmas shopping days of the year.
