UK parliament’s suspension to begin late Monday – official

The month-long suspension of the British parliament ordered by Prime Minister Boris Johnson in an apparent bid to stop MPs blocking his Brexit strategy will begin late Monday, his spokesman says.

“Parliament will be prorogued at close of business today,” the spokesman says, using the parliamentary term for the suspension.

He adds it will take place regardless of the outcome of a government-led vote on holding a snap election next month.
