A recall of Parliament will be sought over the festive period if a Brexit deal needs to be approved, Jacob Rees-Mogg has confirmed.
The Commons Leader announced no business is currently scheduled for the House of Commons in the week beginning December 21.
But he told MPs: “Subject to the House’s decision later, we will rise for the Christmas recess at the close of business today but MPs will recognise that talks with the European Union continue.
“Should a deal be secured, it is the Government’s intention to request a recall in order that Parliament may pass the necessary legislation.
