Parliament suspension: readers ' questions answered

Feb 16,2020 5:00 am

Prime Minister Boris Johnson 's plan to suspend Parliament in September , before recommencing has only 17 days before the planned Leaving date, to a lot of questions from our readers.

The idea of shutting down Parliament in this Way - known as the agreement has caused some controversy in political circles, with critics saying it would cease to be MPs to be able to play their democratic part in the Brexit Process in the run-up to the planned exit date of 31. October.

We selected a sample of The Questions we get from readers on this topic. Where we do not know The Answer , we are The Experts recruited.

1. This could lead to an early General Election ? - David kuester suspending Parliament could also be a choice, trigger, The Institute for Government says Hannah White .

it is probably the Speaker John Bercow - who has already on the Government 's plan "a violation of the democratic Process " - Will find an opportunity for the House of Commons to consider a motion of censure, even if the Government has no time.

If a majority of the deputies vote against the Government , a formal Process starts under the fixed-term parliaments Act.

This is a two-week period in which an alternative Government might be trying, through a majority before a General Election is triggered.

Ms White added that any attempt to track prorogue Parliament is a no-deal policy is likely to prompt a choice. "The can even the intention," she says.

2. How long is the normal time of the suspension before The Queen 's Speech ' s? - AnonIt normal is that the new governments down the Parliament risks to holding a "Queen's Speech .

The length of time varies - in the year 2016, the Parliament was closed for four days while in 2014 it was closed for 13 days.

This year, when the Parliament was suspended, at the earliest proposed date of Monday, may 9. In September , it would be shut down for a period of 25 Working Days before the new Queen's Speech on 14. October.

The Queen , the Speech itself is a list of laws that the Government hopes to get approved by the Parliament in the coming year. By Convention, it is known, the Sovereign, in The Presence of the deputies, the peers and other dignitaries, in the House of Lords.

It also marks the beginning of the parliamentary year.

3. Could have told The Queen , no? - David StephensIt would have been impossible for The Queen to be the Prime Minister of the request, our royal correspondent Jonny Dymond writes.

The Queen acts on the advice of her Prime Minister .

While many, many people are not upset that the Parliament is going to sit at this point of Time Is precedent to the page of this decision.

The idea is, these things are in The Palace of Westminster, not Buckingham Palace

BBC royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell adds: "It is highly unlikely that we Will require ever a significant insight in to what The Queen thought of the Prime Minister .

"In theory, there are known areas as the "royal prerogative", where the monarch has sole discretion, but in practice, that discretion is A Fantasy .

"The United Kingdom has a head of state that has always set a precedent followed and observed the rock-solid Convention as a constitutional monarch, she is bound to follow the formal advice of her Prime Minister .

", rejected such advice would have had us in even deeper constitutional waters in which the monarch is the of The Day you might feel encouraged to follow his or her personal instincts, rather than the leadership of the duly elected Government of The Day .

"So, when the Privy Council met at Balmoral, The Queen did the only thing she could do. But I think we can say that these events have caused considerable anxiety in The Palace . Your absolute priority has to be your Way out of the Brexit debate. "

4. How many acting days lost? What laws are currently going through Parliament is killed, the of the agreement? - TomParliament was to be expected, to make a Pause, or "Pause" anyway, about 13. September - 8 October.

the Official dates for the recess are not confirmed really, so it's hard to find a definitive number for how many actual sitting days Will be lost. However, in theory, it is between three and eight parliamentary days.

MPs to approve recess appointments, in contrast to the prorogations that they are not consulted.

About the laws the Parliament , The Institute for Government says are currently going through, that after the Parliament is prorogued, which comes most parliamentary business to an end and all pending cases.

it is possible, However, some of the draft legislation in the next Session , the think-tank says that with the agreement of the representatives of the main parties.

and The Institute for Government says that many of these are funding to be able to taken.

But movements to fall, if the Parliament can be introduced prorogued, and no new bills or amendments.

5. Would succeed in a legal challenge? - Carmel DolanIt is not possible to mount a legal challenge to The Queen in exercising her personal prerogative Powers - including the awarding of honors, appointment of the Prime Minister proroguing Parliament , our legal correspondent, Clive Coleman count says.

However, it is possible to mount a legal challenge to the advice of her Prime Minister .

This can be done by a judicial review of the Council - in other words, to Question , to decide a court, whether the decision to prorogue on the advice of The Queen , was lawful.

Those, you could argue that the Prime Minister has misunderstood and not correctly apply The Law in terms of The Power to prorogue.

you would probably argue that The Power exists, purely for the purposes of, and in accordance with the healthy functioning of the country's Parliamentary Democracy .

These purposes, traditionally, among other things, to start a campaign, and a Queen, the Speech is prepared and delivered.

When it successfully argued to defeat the purpose of Mr Johnson's announcement, such as the United Kingdom is a Parliamentary Democracy , a court could decide that The Power was abused, and thus was illegal.

There is already a legal challenge in the Scottish courts, supported by a group of deputies and others who are trying to accelerate it.

If you have a challenge, brought in the English and Welsh courts, all of the challenges at the end could be in the UK Supreme Court.

In July , the former Conservative Prime Minister Sir John Major threatened the courts to stop Parliament is shut down.

He told Bbc News : "The Queen ' s search decision can not be challenged in The Law , but the Prime Minister advising The Queen , I think, be challenged in The Law - and I would be willing to prevent the judicial review that the Parliament is bypassed. "

While some believe that a legal challenge could work, said a source close to Boris Johnson Bbc News The Threat of a lawsuit was "absurd".

6. This could lead to a further referendum on staying or Leaving ? - JoyceThe Institute for Government Hannah White says she believes have made, Wednesday, the events, the likelihood of a second referendum less likely.

she says: "It comes to appearance, it's about time and a sufficient group of members can provide, as an option, the likely Escape of date. "

7. What is with all The Other UK EU outlet business, the Parliament needs to do? So much time was on British EU exit it to a backwater. - AmandeepMs White says that the time, the outlet is on the UK's EU-part of the reason Boris Johnson has parliamentary in his letter to the members today about the need to reboot the [] meeting.

"But, in practice, it is not just a Leak. It goes on to the fact that the Government is in minority in the Parliament , it was very difficult, something important, a legislative act, without the risk of defeats," she says.

"So, Yes, there is a lot to do, and the new Session can help a little, but even if Brexit is not done, the Government Will have a large majority, so it can be on the search for a choice to try and increase that majority, and do more on the domestic. "

8. Can Jeremy Corbyn an alternative Parliament , when The Queen has suspended Parliament ? - Luke" - Jeremy Corbyn can hold what meetings he likes," Ms White (The Institute for the Government ).

"can't make a group of members of Parliament , if Parliament be sitting, and you can vote to choose talks, but there is no constitutional legal significance.

"I do, actually nothing, in the legislative periods. "

9. There is no sound reason why the Government could not have waited until after the 31. October to suspend Parliament for a new Session ? - Chris SimonMs White says: "I think The Answer to that is that you don't want to.

He has been loud and over the warranty he. do it in the Brexit Process , and it often has him in conflict with the Government

But he can stop the agreement itself?
