UK: Parliament Set To Shut For A Month TONIGHT

Parliament is set to go into recess tonight a week early - and with doubts over when it will return.

Ministers have tabled a motion for the House to rise after emergency coronavirus legislation goes on the statute books.

Although a date of April 21 has been pencilled in for a return, there has been mounting speculation that the pause on proceedings could go on for longer amid the continuing crisis. 

However, senior sources told MailOnline there is no question of Parliament being put out of action indefinitely.
