The development comes after May announced that she would reschedule the vote on her Brexit plan for the week of January 14 -- less than 80 days before Britain is due to leave the European Union on March 29.
It was originally set to take place on December 11, but May delayed the vote after it became clear she would lose by a significant margin.
Corbyn said it was "unacceptable" to make members of Parliament wait until January for the vote.
"The Prime Minister has obdurately refused to ensure a vote took place on the date she agreed, she refuses to allow a vote to take place this week and is now, I assume, thinking the vote will be on January 14 -- almost a month away," Corbyn told the Commons.
A motion of no confidence in the Prime Minister -- as opposed to her government as a whole -- is not necessarily legally binding. It is up to the government to schedule debate and a vote once the motion of no confidence has been officially moved.
