The House of Commons will rise for the Christmas recess tomorrow but MPs could be recalled early if a breakthrough in Brexit talks results in a trade deal with Brussels, Downing St has said.
A No 10 spokesman said that time was ânow in short supply to reach an agreement with the EU and we expect discussions will continue over the coming daysâ.
âIn the absence of further substantive business, we will - subject to usual approval by the House - go into recess tomorrow, but with the knowledge that we will recall MPs and Peers to legislate for a deal if one is secured. That recall could be as early as next week.â
